Arkle raises £0.27m to advance lithium programme

(Sharecast News) - Irish gold and zine explorer Arkle Resources announced on Thursday that it has raised £0.27m before expenses to advance its lithium programme. The AIM-traded firm said it raised the funds by placing 108,000,000 new shares at a price of 0.25p each.

The board said the funds generated from the placing would primarily be allocated towards Arkle's recently-unveiled lithium exploration programme.

They would also support general corporate activities.
