What's the trading halt for?
Global Lithium requested the trading halt, pending an announcement regarding a proposed capital raising.
The company said that it anticipates the trading halt to remain in place until Monday, 1 November or when the announcement is released.
Interestingly, Global Lithium is a relatively new addition to the ASX, having successfully completed a $10 million initial public offering back in May.

Global Lithium incurred $882,000 in exploration and evaluation expenditure during the quarter.
About Global Lithium
Global Lithium is currently focused on growing its Marble Bar Lithium Project (MBLP).
The company believes it has a "similar geological setting" as nearby Pilgangoora which is owned by Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS) and Wodgina which is owned by Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX: MIN).
An exploration program is underway at MBLP including 10,000 metres of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling as well as soil survey and reconnaissance mapping on southern tenements.
Global Lithium has also identified potential gold targets to the north of MBLP, with its fourth quarter exploration program including RC drilling to follow up on the potential discovery.
The Global Lithium share price can expect a number of catalysts in the near term as exploration results are released in the coming months.
