![Bearing Lithium Corp. Announces Update Regarding Transaction With LPI](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
As announced in the Consolidation News Release, Bearing shareholders who continue to hold LPI Shares (following the Transaction) at the time of the WA Spin-Off will receive a pro-rata allocation of shares in a separate entity which will hold the WA Spin-Off assets ("DemergeCo").
LPI announced today that it has entered agreements to significantly increase its tenement holdings in Western Australia. The acquisitions would significantly increase LPI's ground position in the Greenbushes Area, making LPI the largest holder of ground along the Donnybrook-Bridgetown Shear Zone. The acquisitions also diversify LPI's geographic extent in Western Australia, by obtaining a foothold in the Eastern Goldfields region. These increased exploration ground holdings will be part of the DemergeCo following the completion of the WA Spin-Off. Further details with respect to the LPI announcement can be found on LPI's website at https://lithiumpowerinternational.com.
