ASSET PORTFOLIO
AUSTRIA
Jadar Lithium Limited (ASX: JDR ) (“ Jadar ” or “the Company ”), is pleased to provide shareholders with this Quarterly Activities Report for the three (3) months ending 31 March 2019.
Weinebene
(80% interest – ~28km[2] )
Eastern Alps Projects
EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Serbia
Throughout the reporting period, the Company has continued to advance target definition on its most promising Serbia projects, including Cer, Rekovac and Vranje-South. During the winter months the Company focused on re-evaluating the data sets generated to date and further evaluation of historical data and literature generated by previous State explorers.
The Company will initiate follow up field activities in April 2019, with the objective of defining the source of the B and Li anomalies defined on the Vranje-South project, conduct further work on the Rekovac project to narrow in the zones of interest, as well as, continue to map and sample the Cer project in further detail to define Lithium bearing pegmatites.
(80% interest – ~37km[2] )
SERBIA
Cer
(100% interest - ~92.77km[2] )
Rekovac
(100% interest - ~31.21km[2] )
Vranje-South
(100% interest - ~90.44km[2] )
On completion of a technical review, the Company has decided to relinquish the Bukulja and Krajkovc projects in Serbia. The results indicated that the likelihood of defining economic grades and tonnages of lithium bearing pegmatite mineralization on these
projects was low. These relinquishments are in line with the Company’s objectives to fund the most promising projects within its portfolio.

Austria
Weinebene Lithium Project
During the first quarter of 2019 the Company completed initial soil and rock chip sampling on the Weinebene – Wolfsberg lithium project. During this initial field program, the Company collected 11 rock chips and 166 soil samples from the Weinebene project located adjacent and along strike of European Lithium’s Wolfsberg deposit. The rock chips samples returned high-grade Li values (up to 3.39 % Li2O) with an average value of 1.61% Li2O.[2] The soil sampling program defines Li, Be, Cs geochemical anomaly indicating the spodumene veins may laterally extend and continue into the Weinebene project area.

Austrian Eastern Alps Projects
During the first quarter of 2019 the Company completed initial rock chip sampling on the Eastern Alps Lithium Satellite Projects in Austria. During this initial field program, the Company collected 70 rock chips samples from numerous outcropping pegmatites. Initial pegmatite outcrops sampling results returned high-grade Li2O values with the highest value returning 3.88% Li2O and the average value over the 70 samples being 1.54% Li2O.[3]
