    • Lithium Plus to commence trading on ASX at 12.30pm AEST today under the code “LPM”
    • Follows successful A$10 million IPO including cornerstone investment from Suzhou CATH Energy Technologies Co Ltd (CATH), a subsidiary of CATL, the world’s largest EV battery manufacturer

Lithium Plus Minerals Limited (ASX: LPM) ( Lithium Plus or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it is set to commence trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) at 12.30pm AEST today under the code “LPM”.

The listing follows the successful Initial Public Offering ( IPO ) of Lithium Plus, which raised the maximum targeted subscription amount of A$10 million in new equity funds. This included a A$2.2 million cornerstone investment from CATH, a subsidiary of CATL, the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturer.

The raised funds allow Lithium Plus to aggressively pursue exploration of its flagship 100%-owned Bynoe Lithium Project and other key projects in the Northern Territory, Australia. The Bynoe Project is located adjacent to the Finniss Lithium Mine Development of Core Lithium (ASX:CXO) ( Core ), which has a current Mineral Resource estimate of 14.7 Mt at 1.32% Li2O (refer Core ASX release dated 25 November 2021, 2021 Annual General Meeting Presentation ).

The Bynoe Project tenements are home to a similar geological setting to Finniss, with several of the key Bynoe prospects directly along strike from Core’s BP33 deposit. Recent Core drilling at BP33 returned high-grade spodumene rich intersections including 57.35m at 1.83% Li2O and 51.0m at 1.63% Li2O (refer Core ASX release dated 18 February 2022, Broad high-grade intersections extend BP33 ).

The Bynoe Project is also strategically located approximately 45km from Darwin Port, providing it with excellent proximity to key infrastructure, labour and supply routes.

The discovery hole at Bynoe returned an intercept of 12m at 1.42% Li2O from 121m at the Lei Prospect (see LPM ASX release dated 26 April 2022, Prospectus )[1] . Lithium Plus has now identified multiple walkup, drill-ready targets at the Bynoe Project, including high-priority follow-up testing of the Lei Prospect, which are set to be drilled over the next 18 months.

Drilling at the Lei and Cai Prospects is expected to commence in the coming weeks, subject to finalisation of a drilling contract and mobilisation of the drill rig to site.

Commenting on Lithium Plus listing and exploration plans, Executive Chairman Dr Bin Guo, said:

“We are delighted to have successfully reached this significant point in the Lithium Plus journey. The IPO process has provided a strong validation of the outright quality of the Bynoe Project, as recognised by all participating investors including our cornerstone IPO subscriber, CATH. We now look forward to delivering upon the substantial potential of Bynoe and our other key tenements. That process commences in coming weeks with the planned start of drilling at the Lei and Cai Prospects. We are now simply excited to get started on aggressively exploring this world-class package of lithium ground.”
