Bacanora interim Non-Executive Chairman James Leahy said, "This decision by one of our institutional shareholders to invest a further CAD$4.29 million via the exercise of its warrants is testament to their support for our vision to deliver lithium carbonate production from our Sonora Lithium Project in Mexico. Bacanora's last reported cash position was circa CAD$30 million and these extra funds further bolster our strong cash resources, which are more than enough to see us through to the end of our Feasibility Study and offtake discussions."
