Comment
Karora and Kalamazoo are taking a leaf out of Calidus Resources’ book, and diversifying some lithium assets into spinco to be ASX listed in due course.
It remains to be seen whether this will cause demand for the shares once the record date is known.
I suspect it will.

Transaction highlights:
- Agreement entered into with ASX-listed Australian gold miner Kalamazoo whereby at IPO, Karora will vend into Kali its highly prospective lithium mineral rights across an extensive range of projects located south of Kalgoorlie,Western Australia(“Higginsville Lithium Project”) and Kalamazoo will vend into Kali its Australian lithium projects, including Marble Bar and DOM’s Hill located in the Pilbara and Jingellic and Tallangatta projects located in the Lachlan Fold Belt (New South WalesandVictoria)
