United Lithium to acquire Swedish Minerals in strategic metals expansion

VANCOUVER - United Lithium Corp. (CSE:ULTH; OTCQX:ULTHF), a micro-cap mining explorer with a market capitalization of $7.49 million, announced Friday it has entered into a binding Letter of Intent to acquire all outstanding shares of Swedish Minerals AB, creating what the company describes as a "Nordic-based strategic-metals explorer" with a diversified portfolio of lithium, uranium, and rare-earth assets. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a FAIR financial health score of 2.42, though it faces challenges with cash burn.

Under the agreement, United Lithium will pay Swedish Minerals shareholders 25 million common shares at a deemed price of $0.20 per share (pre-consolidation) and $450,000 in cash. The transaction includes a $50,000 non-refundable deposit upon execution of the LOI, with the remaining $400,000 due at closing. The company’s strong liquidity position, with a current ratio of 4.02, suggests adequate resources to meet these financial obligations.

The deal will coincide with a 2:1 share consolidation of United Lithium’s outstanding shares, resulting in approximately 43.9 million shares outstanding post-transaction. United Lithium will also grant Swedish Minerals shareholders a 1.75% net smelter return royalty on all properties currently held by Swedish Minerals.

Following the acquisition, United Lithium’s board will be reconstituted with five members - three nominated by United and two by Swedish Minerals. Andrew Bowering will be appointed Interim CEO and Jonathan Franklin as President.

Swedish Minerals brings a portfolio of uranium projects in Finland and Sweden to the combined entity, including the Riutta Project in Finland and the Duobblon, Norr Döttern, and Märrviken projects in Sweden.

In a separate announcement, United Lithium disclosed plans for a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $2.25 million through the issuance of up to 15 million pre-consolidation units at $0.15 per unit. Each unit includes one share and one warrant exercisable at $0.30 for 24 months.

The transaction remains subject to due diligence, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. The financing is not conditional on the completion of the acquisition.
