Frontier Lithium Announces $500,000 Financing

SUDBURY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2017 / Frontier Lithium Inc. (TSX-V: FL) (the “Company”) is proposing a non-brokered private placement offering of up to 1,250,000 common shares (“Common Shares”) of the Company.

The Common Shares are to be issued under a unit offering of 1,250,000 units (“Units”) at a subscription price of $.40 per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one (1) Common Share of the Company and one (1) share purchase warrant (the “Warrant”). Each full Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of Frontier at an exercise price of $.64 for an eighteen (18) month period from closing (the “Offering”). Completion of the private placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

All of the Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a 4-month hold period. Proceeds from the financing will be used to advance exploration of Frontier’s 100% owned and optioned PAK Lithium Project located in northwestern Ontario.

Frontier Lithium reserves the opportunity to grant to eligible persons a finder’s fee of a maximum 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and finder options of a maximum of 6% of the total number of Units sold under the Offering. Each finder option will be exercisable at an exercise price of $0.64 into one common share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.

About Frontier Lithium Inc.

Frontier’s goal is to become a low-cost, fully integrated lithium and tantalum producer through development of the PAK lithium deposit in Ontario, Canada. Frontier maintains a tight share structure with management ownership exceeding 30% of the Company. CAD $6 million of exploration work has been conducted from 2013 to 2017 on the deposit which boasts its lithium in a rare, high-purity, low-iron spodumene. The initial target market is the glass-ceramic industry which consumes roughly one-third of global lithium supply and is currently faced with monopolistic conditions, coupled with major lithium producers increasingly directing output toward supporting battery manufacture.

Ceramic/glass customers prefer to source technical-grade (low-iron) spodumene concentrate in excess of 7% lithium oxide (Li2O), if available, to avoid lower grade petalite concentrates, or paying much higher prices for battery grade lithium compounds. The Company’s October 2017 Metallurgical Study returned favorable results by producing lithium concentrate with a grade of 7.13% lithium oxide (Li2O) with a corresponding Li2O recovery of 79.4% which satisfies the preference from technical-grade consumers.

The PAK lithium deposit remains open in all directions and Company Management is working towards developing a viable operation. The Company is currently conducting a pre-feasibility study to assess the economic viability and technical feasibility of producing lithium concentrates. Frontier’s goal is to first establish a viable technical grade spodumene concentrate operation. A possible second stage of investment and longer term prospect is to further process some of PAK’s output to produce the higher purity lithium compounds required for lithium battery technologies used in the electrification of transportation and electric grid storage applications.

About the PAK Lithium Project

The PAK Lithium Project lies close to the boundary between two geological sub-provinces of the western Superior geologic province in northwestern Ontario and hosts a rare metals pegmatite deposit. The deposit is an LCT (lithium- cesium- tantalum) type pegmatite. These types of pegmatites have been the principal source of hard rock lithium, tantalum, rubidium and cesium ores mined in the world but there are comparatively few commercially-viable deposits.

Frontier is actively exploring its 100% owned project which contains the Pakeagama Lake pegmatite. The PAK deposit has a current Measured and Indicated Resource of 7.89 million tonnes of 1.73% Li2O equivalent (eq.) or 1.58% Li2O and 104 ppm Ta2O5 and an Inferred Resource of 295,600 tonnes of 1.35% Li2O eq. or 1.20% Li2O and 103 ppm Ta2O5 which has a technical/ceramic grade spodumene with low inherent iron (below 0.1% Fe2O3). The deposit has adjacent zones that are enriched in tantalum and rubidium.

The deposit now has a known 500m strike length with an estimated true width varying from 10m to 125m with a sub-vertical orientation. The resource remains open to depth and along strike to the northwest and southeast.
