Lithium developer Lake Resources (LKE) has raised $900,000 in funding by drawing upon a controlled placement agreement with Acuity Capital.
Under the agreement, Lake will issue 15 million of its own shares to Acuity in return for the almost $1 million in funding.

The flagship project is located in Argentina, at the southern end of the Lithium Triangle, which is responsible for 40 per cent of global lithium production.
The company also said it would use some of the funding to cover general exploration costs and for working capital.
The 15 million new LKE shares are slated for issue on Friday, September 25.
Shares in Lake Resources are currently trading for 8.6 cents each, down 4.44 per cent at 10:56 am AEST.
