Rock Tech Announces Private Placement
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (the "Company" or “Rock Tech”) (TSX-V: RCK; Frankfurt: RJIB) announces that it will conduct a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of up to 3,111,112 units (the “Units”) of the Company at a price of $0.45 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,400,000.
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.70 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of closing, subject to accelerated expiry in certain circumstances.
“We are making excellent progress with the permitting activities at our Georgia Lake lithium project,” said Martin Stephan, director and Chief Executive Officer of Rock Tech. “The proceeds of this private placement will be used for further work on the baseline studies and continued metallurgical and processing tests, demonstrating the suitability of our material for conversion into value-added lithium chemicals.”
