Mr. Jeffrey Wilson, Eureka CEO, commented: “We are pleased to complete this financing and close the offering with over $6.6M in aggregate gross proceeds. The closing of this offering provides the Company with the financial capacity to initiate and conduct an aggressive initial campaign of mapping, prospecting, and sampling across all projects within the Company’s project portfolio, including highly prospective areas of known concentrations of elevated lithium values, as reported in Quebec government lake sediment sampling results. We look forward to keeping investors informed as field work commences and initial results become available.”
