VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UNITED LITHIUM CORP. (“United Lithium” or the “Company”) (CSE: ULTH; OTCQX: ULTHF; FWB: 0ULA) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) for gross proceeds of $2,250,000, through the issuance of 15,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit.

Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.30 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration provision whereby, if the Shares close at $0.60 or greater for ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to 30 days following notice to the holders.

All securities issued in the Offering are subject to resale restrictions until March 20, 2026, in accordance with applicable securities laws. No finders’ fees or commissions were paid in connection with completion of the Offering. The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general working capital purposes, advancing exploration across United Lithium’s portfolio, and to support ongoing due-diligence, regulatory and transactional work related to the Company’s proposed acquisition of Swedish Minerals AB, as announced on October 17, 2025.

The Offering included participation by certain insiders of the Company, including Andrew Bowering (Interim CEO) for $300,000, Henrik Lundin (Director) for $20,000, and Iain Scarr (Director) for $25,000. Such participation constitutes a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The issuance of securities to related parties is exempt from the valuation requirement pursuant to section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company’s Shares are not listed on a specified market, and is exempt from the minority-approval requirement pursuant to section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 since the aggregate consideration paid to related parties does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The securities issued have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws.
