  "account": "Axiant Resources (ASX: AXR) officially commenced trading on the Sydney Stock Exchange (ASX) on Wednesday following Core Lithium's (ASX: CXO) completion of the spinout of its gold and non-lithium assets. The move allows Core Lithium to concentrate on its core operation, the Finniss lithium operation, while maintaining a stake in the gold sector through its Axiant shareholding. Axiant successfully raised A$8 million in its initial public offering by issuing 40 million shares at a price of $0.20 each, with A$6.4 million of the capital raised coming from a priority offer to eligible Core shareholders. Core Lithium's managing director, Paul Brown, expressed satisfaction with the transaction, stating that it enables the company to retain exposure to the gold sector while focusing on the Finniss Lithium Operation. Core holds 20 million Axiant shares and another 20 million performance rights tied to resource growth and share-price milestones, giving them a 33% interest in the company. These performance rights and shares in Axiant are escrowed for 24 months. The transaction also provides Axiant with its own public-market platform and an additional $8 million in fresh capital following its admission to the ASX official list. Core is a hard-rock lithium company that owns the Finniss lithium operation on the Cox Peninsula in Australia's Northern Territory.",
  "summary": "The A$8-million float gives investors direct access to Core’s gold and non-lithium assets while Core keeps a 33% stake.",
