TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2017 /CNW/ - LSC Lithium Corporation ("LSC" or the "Company") (TSXV:LSC) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced private placement of 4,800,000 units of the Company (the "Units"), at a price of C$1.25 per Unit (the "Offering Price"), representing total gross proceeds of C$6,000,000 (the "Offering").

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share of the Company at a price of C$1.55 for a period of 36 months following the date of closing of the Offering (the "Closing Date"). The Warrants have an acceleration provision such that if, at any time after the first six months following the Closing Date, the volume-weighted average daily trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is C$2.25 or more for 10 consecutive trading days, then the Company may, anytime thereafter, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 20 days following the date the Company provides notice to warrant holders of the new expiry date.

The net proceeds of the Offering will allow LSC to further continue its expanded exploration program for 2017 and 2018 on its lithium assets in Argentina.

The Agent received a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and 288,000 broker's warrants (the "Broker Warrants"), representing 6% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering, as compensation for acting as the broker in connection with the Offering. Each Broker Warrant is exerciseable into one Unit at the Offering Price for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering (including the underlying securities) are subject to a 4 month hold period under applicable securities laws.
