PROJECTS
New Opportunities
The Company is currently assessing an advanced lithium project in an overseas mining friendly jurisdiction and has recently signed an exclusive due diligence option agreement covering this project.
The agreement provides Carnavale with the exclusive right to assess the project over the next three months with terms to be finalised, subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence .
The project covers numerous outcropping pegmatites over a large area which includes at least five prospective lithium bearing pegmatites based on past privately held small scale tantalum mining activities. One pegmatite, in particular, has logged zones of spodumene (lithium mineral) in drill core which have not been previously assayed. The remaining priority targets occur in historic tantalum mined areas with zones of lithium bearing minerals present.
The Company is currently organising for experienced consultants, with strong lithium experience, to log, sample and assay the existing drill holes plus map and sample the other known lithium bearing pegmatites commencing mid-May 2016. The Company will provide an update on the due diligence activities in due course.
The Directors wish to caution investors on this opportunity as there is no certainty that the results of this assessment and due diligence will be positive and the transaction terms of any investment are yet to be agreed upon in detail.
Various other opportunities were assessed during the period, including potential investments in both resource and non-resources related sectors. The Company continues to assess new investment opportunities.
Red Hills Project, Nevada
(Joint Venture rights to earn up to 75%)
During the period, the Company completed a review of the existing data and recent drilling results achieved in the previous quarter. Design of future work programmes is currently being reviewed.
No field activities were undertaken on the project during the period.
Little Butte Project, Arizona
The Company withdrew from the Little Butte Project during the period.
CORPORATE
On 3 February 2016, the Company announced the appointment of Cicero Advisory Services Pty Ltd (“Cicero”) in the role as corporate advisor and was mandated to raise $1.6M (“Capital Raising”).

The funds are to be used for exploration activities, assessment of new investment opportunities and working capital. Directors also participated in the Tranche 2 placement following receipt of shareholder approval.
