The Opportunity

The proceeds of the Offer will be used to fund:

  1. Drilling at the the Dundas Lithium-Gold Project in Western Australia. On 10 October 2017, the Company announced that a review of recently released auger sampling (+9,000 samples) had identified a stand out 2km long coincident lithium and beryllium anomaly. Following grant of the tenement application and heritage clearances, the Company is planning angled Reverse Circulation drilling of the anomaly in early 2018.

Dundas represents an outstanding walk-up drilling target in a rising lithium market. The identification of lithium-bearing pegmatites in the region points to an emerging lithium province which also includes Tawana Resources NL’s Bald Hill lithium project (ASX: TAW), Pioneer Resources Limited’s Pioneer Dome lithium project (ASX: PIO) and Liontown Resources Limited’s Buldania lithium project (ASX: LTR).

  1. The West Arnhem Copper-Gold-Uranium Project , located in the world-class Alligator Rivers Uranium Province (ARUP) of the Northern Territory. On 4 October and 6 December 2017, the Company outlined the potential to discover high-grade copper-gold and uranium along the Quarry Fault between U40 and the Namarrkon Prospects. A Gradient Array Induced Polarisation Survey (IP Survey) has identified multiple priority drill targets between the U40 and U40 South Prospects, with this trend remaining open to the south. Following the wet season, the Company plans to re-mobilise a ground-based Induced Polarisation (IP) contractor to U40 South as a prelude to drilling.

In addition, the Company remains committed to advancing the uranium potential of its >5,000km[2] ground position in the ARUP, which includes the Nabarlek mine, previously Australia’s highest grade uranium mine which produced approximately 24Mlbs of U3O8 at a grade of 1.84% U3O8. The tenor and grades previously seen within the Nabarlek deposit provide a compelling justification to locate extensions and/or repetitions, both at Nabarlek and adjacent structures such as those seen at U40.

  1. The Junee Copper-Gold Project , New South Wales. The Company is finalising a technical compilation of the public domain datasets for this project. The project lies adjacent to the prospective Gilmore Suture and overlies Macquarie Arc Volcanics, which host several of Australia’s largest porphyry copper gold deposits, including Cadia and Northparkes to the north and north-west of the project area. Results to date indicate the potential for Cadia-style mineralisation within the project area.

  2. Project Generation : The Company is actively assessing advanced mineral exploration and resource development acquisition opportunities primarily in Australia.
