NEW LITHIUM DISCOVERIES STRENGTHEN MOBLAN POTENTIAL

Highlights

  • Multiple new spodumene pegmatites identified at Moblan South, South East Extension, Moleon and extensions to the Main Moblan lithium deposit at Sayona’s Moblan Lithium Project, Québec.

  • These new discoveries provide the means to significantly increase the resource base of Sayona in North America

  • Exciting new and distinct Moblan South Discovery open in all directions located 200m south of the main Moblan deposit

  • Highlights include 23.4m @ 1.69% Li2O from 17.6m and 27.1m @ 1.5% Li2O from 53.1m (Moblan South) and 32.1m @ 2% Li2O from 94.1m (Main Moblan dyke) and 23m @ 1.79% Li2O from 34.7m (Moblan East)

  • Drilling continuing, with 20,000m drilling campaign underway as Sayona continues to build on potential of the new Northern Lithium Hub, strengthening its leading lithium (spodumene) resource base in North America.

Emerging lithium producer Sayona Mining Limited (ASX:SYA; OTC:SYAXF) has further strengthened its emerging northern Québec lithium hub, following the discovery of multiple new mineralised lithium pegmatites in the latest drilling at its emerging Moblan Project (Sayona 60%; SOQUEM Inc 40%).

A 35 hole, 4,683m winter diamond drill program obtained grades of up to 2% lithium oxide (Li2O) (see below), showing the project’s potential in a region that hosts established, world‐class lithium resources.

The drilling has shown that spodumene pegmatites are more significantly developed at depth than can be recognised at surface, indicating the potential for the discovery of multiple pegmatite clusters. Drilling is continuing, with three diamond rigs currently on site and a new 20,000m drill program underway.

Commenting on the results, Sayona’s Managing Director, Brett Lynch said: “These latest results are another boost to our emerging northern lithium hub, demonstrating Moblan’s potential to become a world‐class deposit in a proven lithium region.

*Drill holes 1331‐22‐135 and 1331‐22‐136 from the South Discovery Area were reported to the ASX on 26 April 2022.

Results from the Moblan South Discovery area included 23.4m @ 1.69% Li2O from 17.6m and 27.1m @ 1.5% Li2O from 53.1m in 1331‐22‐134. These complement the shallow mineralisation announced on 26 April 2022 (where 1331‐22‐135 returned 35m @ 1.62 Li2O % from 27.6m and 27.2m @ 1.53 Li2O % from 22m in hole 1331‐22‐136).

The Moblan South Discovery is located some 200m south of the main Moblan deposit. It is a new and distinct spodumene pegmatite zone, open in all directions, as displayed in cross section 506700E in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: Cross section 506700E, displaying Moblan South Discovery and drill hole intercepts

The geology and mineralogy are very similar in drill holes with spodumene occurrences throughout the pegmatite and high lithium grades up to 4.02% Li2O over 1.5m in DDH‐22‐136. The lithium assay content is consistent with the variation of spodumene logged in drill core.

Extensional drilling on the main Moblan dyke has successfully extended the known mineralisation, including high grade mineralisation such as 32.1m @ 2.00% Li2O from 94.1m in DDH‐22‐152. The drill results demonstrate the continuity and the potential for extension of the Main Dyke down dip.

Currently, the Main Dyke has a strike extent of over 1500m, averaging 30‐40m in thickness to a vertical depth of approximately 150m. Mineralization remains open at depth and to the east.

Recent results showed that the western Main Dyke area has been faulted and drilling in the current summer campaign will test for the displaced western end of the Main Dyke.

The Moleon prospect is located approximately 1km east of the Moblan deposit. Two main dykes, oriented north‐south were intercepted in 1331‐22‐150B with results including 14m @ 1.93% Li2O from 63.3m and 25.6m @ 1.84% Li2O from 85.2m downhole.

Results from all of the holes at the Moleon sector have been encouraging, identifying more substantial mineralisation at depth than recognised at surface. The large number of pegmatite occurrences at surface which remain untested indicate the high potential for further discoveries as well as the benefit from drilling out the newly identified mineralisation.

==> picture [595 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

Drilling at the South East Extension zone returned multiple spodumene pegmatite dykes, with intersections in DDH‐22‐153 and 1331‐22‐154 varying between 3.0m and 18.5m in width and with grades up to 1.67% Li2O (see complete assay intercepts in Table 1).

Only two drill holes have been completed at the South East prospect during the 2022 winter program, but the very encouraging grade and thickness of the mineralised dykes indicates the area remains largely underexplored. The area will require more drilling to better understand the geometry and the relationship between the different mineralised spodumene pegmatites dykes, as well as assessing to determine if the system links up with the South Discovery area to the west.

Next Steps

A 20,000m diamond drill program has commenced to enable an updated and a new resource calculation on the Moblan deposit, the new Moblan South discovery and Moleon areas. More than 215 new drill sites have been permitted by the Québec resources ministry (MERN), with the objective of exploring and defining new lithium resources at Moblan.

Project Background

The Moblan Lithium Project is located about 100km north of the town of Chibougamau and approximately 85km from the Cree (First Nations) community of Mistissini. The project is accessible year‐round via the Route du Nord and its proximity to Chibougamau and Mistissini with their available infrastructure makes it an ideal location for exploring and mining deposits of industrial energy minerals.

Sayona is committed to engaging local communities as the project progresses, including First Nations and other local community members, consistent with its stakeholder engagement approach. In January 2022, Sayona expanded its northern hub with the acquisition of 121 new claims, the Lac Albert Project, located 3.5km west of Moblan and spanning more than 6,500ha (refer ASX release 25 January 2022).

A till and soil sampling program was undertaken at Lac Albert from 18‐27 May, with a total of 69 x 1kg soil samples and 34 x 15kg till samples collected to identify lithium bearing occurrences and associated elements. In addition, 145 outcrops and boulders have been located and mapped with 56 samples from boulders and 37 samples from outcrops collected and sent to the lab for analysis.

JORC Code, 2012 edition – Table 1 (section 1; Sampling Techniques and Data)

Criteria **JORC Code explanation ** Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.

All samples referred to in this report have been collected
by diamond core drilling. Geological logging of
recovered drill core visually identified pegmatite and this
determined the intervals for sampling. Sample interval
has been determined on geological characteristics and
ranges from between 0.4 and 1.5m in length.

Sample preparation and assaying methods are industry
standard and appropriate for this type of mineralisation.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg
core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond
tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

Drilling from surface was carried out by diamond drilling
methods, using standard tube to recover NQ size core.
Core was not orientated. Downhole drill azimuth and dip
has been determined by downhole Reflex single shot
and TN-14 recording instruments.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

Drilling has been within fresh rock from surface and core
recovery approximates 100%. Core has been marked
up, and RQD measurements etc recorded.

Sample recovery is considered acceptable and it is not
believed a bias has been introduced into the sampling
system.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

technique is considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.

Samples have been submitted to AGAT laboratory in
Val-d’Or, Quebec. Samples were dried and subsequently
crushed to 75% passing a 2 mm mesh screen. A 250g
subsample is pulverized to a nominal 85% passing 75
microns mesh screen. The remaining crushed sample
(reject) and pulverized sample (pulp) are retained for
further analysis and quality control. All samples are
analysed by Sodium Peroxide Fusion and ICP-MS finish
using a 0.2 g aliquot of pulverized material. Sayona
regularly inserts 3rd party reference control samples and
blank samples in the sample stream to monitor assay
and laboratory performance.

No geophysical tools or XRF instruments have been
used in determining mineralisation.

Assay sample of Certified Reference Material, half core
duplicate sampling and insertion of blanks into the
sample sequence has been undertaken to ensure
QA/QC. Protocols include systematic insertion of CRM
standards at approximately 1in every 25 samples and
alternating blank samples of quartz and core duplicate
samples for every 1 in 25 samples. The CRM material
used is OREAS 750, OREAS 752 and OREAS 753.
These standards have been selected to reflect the target
mineralization. It is believed the sampling is
representative of the drilled material and appropriate for
this type of diamond drilling method.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

The results have been reviewed by multiple geologists.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.

Drilling has been planned to be orthogonal to the
direction displayed by nearby pegmatite mineralisation
within the main Moblan lithium pegmatite deposit and
other prospect areas. Spodumene pegmatites in the
area are typically tabular bodies and the reported results
appear consistent with that style of mineralisation. There
does not appear to be an introduction of a sampling bias
due to the drillhole orientation.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security.
All reasonable measures and Industry standard sample
security and storage have been undertaken.

The Moblan property is located approximately 130km to
the north-west of the town of Chibougamau and 600km
north of Montreal.

The project is owned 60% by Sayona Mining Ltd and
40% by SOQUEM Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Investissement Quebec. Joint Venture exploration is
managed by an Exploration Committee with technical
input from both parties.

The project comprises 20 mineral claims covering 433Ha.

Access is via Highway 167 onto the all-weather Route du
Nord road and then via gravel roads to the project. The
project is located in the western Superior Province, within
the eastern segment of the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt
(FEGB), which extends over some 250km from Lac
Mistassini to the Nottaway River.

There are no impediments that have been identified for

 Lithium mineralisation was first discovered in the Moblan
area in the 1970s with SOQEM subsequently drilling the
main pegmatite deposit and identifying other lithium
pegmatites within the property. Past drill collars are
displayed in figure 1 in the main body of this report.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

 Lithium is being targeted within rare metal pegmatites of the
albite-spodumene pegmatite types which host high grade
lithium mineralisation.
 The main spodumene pegmatite at Moblan, the Main Dyke,
has an east-west strike of 1,500m length, a dip of 35° to the
north and widths ranging between 20 to 30m, with the
spodumene content commonly present as coarsely grained
crystals, accompanied by quartz, feldspar and muscovite.

widths of around 10m.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding
of the exploration results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
 Drill information is contained in Table 1 and Table 2 in the
main body of this report
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of
high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results,
the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
 No variation to laboratory reported assays has been made.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect
(eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
 Down hole intercepts are tabulated, true width is not known.
At the Moblan South, South East Extension and Moleon
areas the current drill information contains insufficient data
points to allow these relationships to be quantified.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
 Figures, including plan views of new drill collars and existing
mineralization, together with a cross section displaying
intercepts are included in the main body of this release.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results
is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
 All relevant assay results are reported herein.
Other
substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical
