Emerging lithium producer Sayona Mining Limited (ASX:SYA) has entered into a subscription agreement with PearTree Securities Inc for aggregate gross proceeds of A$54.9 million using the FTS provisions under Canadian tax law (Placement). Use of the FTS provisions significantly minimises dilution of issued capital.
The funding will help advance exploration efforts while the company continues to progress the restart of its North American Lithium (NAL) operation, together with Sayona’s other growth projects in Québec, including its emerging northern lithium hub.
Sayona is well placed to progress its expanding lithium resource base, with this additional funding adding to its financial resources.
“Sayona has made significant progress in developing the leading hard rock lithium resource base in North America, with the pending restart of production at NAL set to mark our progression from explorer to producer,” Managing Director, Brett Lynch, said.
“This funding will provide an added boost to our expansion plans, with the FTS provisions allowing us to raise capital at a premium to the current share price, thereby minimising dilution for the benefit of our shareholders.”
