Toronto, Canada, February 26, 2013: Rodinia Lithium Inc. (“Rodinia” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: RM) (Nasdaq-RDNAF.PK)is pleased to announce it
has entered into a $2.0 million stand-by credit facility (the “Credit Facility”)
with Aberdeen International Inc. (“Aberdeen”). Aberdeen is currently a
significant shareholder of Rodinia, is a long-time supporter of the Company, and
is a member of the Forbes & Manhattan Inc. group of companies.
Under the Credit Facility, Rodinia has the ability to draw down
amounts up to a maximum of $2.0 million (subject to the terms of the Credit
Facility), with repayment of any draw down to be made by February 25, 2016. Any
amounts drawn down will bear interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly in
arrears, with the first installment due on June 30, 2013. As at September 30,
2012 (the Company’s most recent financial statements for the third quarter), the
Company had $621,000 in cash and no debt. Rodinia expects that its current
funding will be sufficient to fund its operations through the delivery of a
revised National Instrument 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate and Feasibility
Study for its Salar de Diablilos lithium-potash project in Salta, Argentina.
“The Credit Facility is a tremendous vote of confidence from
one of our largest shareholders. It insulates us from market uncertainty and
provides a ready source of non-dilutive funding, if required, in the future,”
said Aaron Wolfe, Vice President Corporate Development of Rodinia. “We very
much appreciate the on-going support of one of the Company’s longest and largest
shareholders as we continue to achieve our short term milestones.”
In consideration for Aberdeen’s commitment under the Credit
Facility, Rodinia has agreed to secure the Credit Facility against its Salar de
Centenario assets. No fees or warrants have been issued in relation to the
establishment of the Credit Facility. Promptly after signing the Credit
Facility, the Company will draw down $300,000 from the line of credit.
Aberdeen is a non-arm’s length party; as such term is defined
by the TSX-Venture Exchange, as Aberdeen and Rodinia have a common senior
officer.
