TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2017 /CNW/ - LSC Lithium Corporation ("LSC" or together with its subsidiaries, the "Corporation") (TSXV:LSC) is pleased to announce that it has closed the final tranche of its previously announced C$20 million non-brokered private placement of common shares (the "Offering"). The Offering was fully subscribed and the Corporation has issued a total of 18,181,817 common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of C$20,000,000.

The final tranche of the Offering consisted of 3,150,467 common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$3.5 million. The common shares were issued on October 27, 2017 and are subject to resale restrictions under Canadian securities laws which will expire on February 28, 2018. Finder's fee totaling C$871,480 was paid in connection with the Offering.

The Corporation is also pleased to announce that due to excess demand, it has engaged GMP Securities L.P. ("Agent") to act as Lead Agent with respect to a proposed best efforts private placement of units of the Corporation (the "Units"), at a price of C$1.25 per Unit, representing total gross proceeds of C$6,000,000 (the "Brokered Offering"). Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Corporation at a price of C$1.55 for a period of 36 months following the closing of the Brokered Offering. The Warrants will have an acceleration provision such that if, at any time after the first six months following the closing of the Brokered Offering, the volume-weighted average daily trading price of the Corporation's common shares on the TSX-Venture Exchange is C$2.25 or more for 10 consecutive trading days, then the Corporation may, anytime thereafter, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 20 days following the date the Corporation provides notice to warrant holders of the new expiry date.

The net proceeds of the Brokered Offering will allow LSC to further continue its expanded exploration program for 2017 and 2018 on its lithium assets in Argentina. The Corporation expects the closing of the Brokered Offering to occur on or about November 9, 2017, or some other date that the Corporation and the Agent mutually agree upon.

The Agent will be paid a broker's fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering and receive broker's warrants equal to 6% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Brokered Offering as compensation for acting as the broker in connection with the Brokered Offering.

The Units will be offered for sale by way of private placement pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements in all of the Provinces of Canada. The Agent will also be entitled to offer the Units for sale in the United States pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in those other jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States provided no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises in such other jurisdiction. The Units sold pursuant to the Brokered Offering will be subject to a 4 month hold period under applicable securities laws.
