The Australian explorer has forked out US$1.5 million in cash and 42 million shares to scoop up the package, which Chariot Corp’s managing director, Shanthar Pathmanathan, described as extremely strategic.
“We’re delighted,” he told HotCopper in a Watchlist interview this week.
“We’ve moved into one of the most strategic places in the world of lithium in Nigeria… [which has] been emerging as a hub for lithium for 10 years.”
“These portfolios wouldn’t be available [to Chariot] in a stronger market so this is a counter-cyclical opportunity for the company,” Mr Pathmanathan said. “Individually, each project could be a Pilbara Minerals-type discovery.”
CC9 shares have been up +3.64% through the week since the buy-up.
