PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND LITHIUM EXPLORATION UPDATE
Peloton Minerals Corp. has closed a private placement financing of $173,205, consisting of 1,924,500 units priced at nine cents per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable for three years at 12 cents.
Peloton is advancing its North Elko lithium project, having recently completed, this month, a field sampling program. The sampling program targeted outcrop areas of particular clays known to host high-grade lithium on two neighbouring projects. The clay outcrops were identified using company hyperspectral data over an area of 100 square kilometres. The results of this data analysis prompted Peloton to increase its property in the area fourfold to 408 mining claims covering 8,160 acres (3,300 hectares). Next steps for Q1 2024, assuming encouraging results from the sampling program, are to begin shallow drilling of the sampled areas to explore the clay layers at depth, and to submit for assay its historic geochemistry pulps to determine the level of lithium in soil. The company is very pleased with the number high-grade lithium-in-clay discoveries made by its immediate neighbours in 2023 and will continue devoting company resources to explore for lithium on its North Elko lithium project in 2024.
The private placement was subject to a finder's fee payable to IBK Capital Corp. The finder's fee consisted of $13,856.40 in cash and 192,450 brokers warrants with each broker warrant exercisable at nine cents within five years to purchase additional private placement units consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable for five years at 12 cents.
The private placement was conducted in reliance upon certain prospectus
exemptions, including the exemption allowing issuers to raise capital by distributing securities to existing
shareholders contained in Ontario Securities Commission
Rule 45-501 (2.9) and the various
corresponding blanket orders and rules of participating jurisdictions (with the exception of Newfoundland and
Labrador) as well as other available prospectus exemptions, including sales to accredited investors. The company set Oct. 9, 2023, as the record date for the purpose of determining existing shareholders
entitled to purchase shares pursuant to the existing shareholder exemption. The proceeds of the private placement will be used for working capital. Subscriptions were accepted in whole or in part at the discretion of the company on a first-come, first-served basis.
The securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the issuance of the securities.
