Salt Lake Potash #SO4 – Completion of Placement, Directors’ Holdings & Mobilisation of Equipment to Lake Way

Salt Lake Potash Limited (“the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has now completed the placement of 31.0 million new ordinary shares of the Company, to raise gross proceeds of A$13.0 million (“Placement”), first announced on 9 November 2018.  

The second tranche of the Placement has been completed following shareholder approval at a General Meeting held on 20 December 2018. The issue comprised 1,702,381 ordinary shares of no par value at a price of A$0.42 per share, including 952,381 shares subscribed for by the CEO, Mr Tony Swiericzuk, and 750,000 shares by the Company’s Chairman, Mr Ian Middlemas.

Proceeds from the Placement will be used to fund the construction of the Williamson Ponds and dewatering of the Williamson Pit, as well as ongoing development of on-lake infrastructure, exploration and feasibility studies, and general working capital.

Funds from the Placement have enabled the mobilisation of construction equipment to Lake Way, with preliminary site preparation works being undertaken in preparation for the imminent construction of the Williamson Ponds and dewatering of the Williamson Pit.

Application has been made to the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (“AIM”) for the admission of the 1,702,381 Ordinary Shares, which rank pari passu with the Company’s existing issued Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading. Dealings on AIM are expected to commence at 8:00am on or around 10 January 2019 (“Admission”).
