YANAMINA PROJECT
On 10 February 2020 the Company announced that it had completed its maiden mineral resource estimate for the Yanamina Gold Project in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). The total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t gold (“Au”) are 6,742,260 tonnes @ 1.23 g/t gold and 4.31 g/t silver for 265,987 ounces of contained gold, and 934,528 ounces of contained silver (“Ag”).[1]
About the Yanamina Project
The Yanamina Project (historically also known as Paron) is a low sulphidation epithermal gold and silver resource with favourable geology, ore body geometry and metallurgical characteristics. The project is located in north-central Peru in the Department of Ancash, province of Huaylas, District of Caraz, and lies approximately 16km east of the town of Caraz.
The Project is located 40 km to the north and 120 km south respectively of Barrick Gold’s (“Barrick”) Pierina (210 MT @ at 1.1 g/t for 7.5 million ounces),and Alto Chicama/Lagunas Norte (227 MT @ 1.1 g/t for 8 million ounces) gold mines.

The Yanamina Project area lies within a regional northerly trending belt of complexly folded and intensely faulted, Late Mesozoic marine sediments, which have been intruded by Tertiary batholithic rocks of various compositions. The oldest rocks in the region are Cretaceous quartzites and shales. The most important structure in the region is the Yungay Graben, which trends northerly across the region and has been traced along strike for almost 100 kilometres. The eastern edge of the Yungay Graben is defined by the Ancash Fault Zone which hosts the Yanamina Project. The intense structural deformation associated with the formation of the Yungay Graben and the Ancash Fault provided conduits for goldbearing hydrothermal solutions giving rise to a number of gold occurrences and deposits in the region.
The Yanamina gold resource is contained within 50 metres of the surface and the large majority of the resource outcrops or sub outcrops, consequently reducing potential waste ore. In addition to the existing resources, Yanamina contains a number of cost effective exploration targets, including lateral and vertical extensions to the existing resource envelope and a down faulted hanging wall extension of potentially significant tonnage.

The summary tables for the 0.5g/t Au cut-offs with contained metal are as follows.[2]
| Resources | Tonnes | Grade(Aug/t) | Grade(Ag g/t) | Total ozs(Au) | Total ozs(Ag) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indicated | 2,790,620 | 1.35 | 4.34 | 121,136 | 389,431 |
| Inferred | 3,951,640 | 1.14 | 4.29 | 144,851 | 545,097 |
| Total/average | 6,742,260 | 1.23 | 4.31 | 265,987 | 934,528 |
Exploration Potential
The work carried out for the Resource estimation highlighted a number of areas at Yanamina which show potential for extension of mineralised zones, both as an extension but also proximal to the existing resource. As a result of the extensive and important surface alteration within the mineralised zone, a number of these target areas can be initially explored geologically to determine their potential.

REKOVAC LI-B PROJECT
On 11 February 2020 the Company announced drilling commences at Rekovac lithium - borate project in Serbia.
The drilling program enveloped two diamond drill holes (REK_001 and REK_002), totaling 1,238.1 meters. Both drill holes aimed to test gravity low (blue) and to capture most of the targeted saline - alkaline sections. Both drill holes have been entirely logged, cut and sampled. In total, 358 drill core samples have been sent to ALS for geochemical analysis. Also, 15 samples have been sent for qualitative X-ray diffraction and mineral phase identification. The Company is expecting to receive all results during the first week of May.

About the Rekovac Li-B Exploration Project
The Rekovac project is located in central Serbia and lies approximately 20km south of the town of Kragujevac. The project area lies within a regional trending belt so-called the Vardar Zone. Neogene lacustrine sedimentary basins are located along the long, narrow trend vary greatly in size and shape belt formed by the movement between two plate boundaries.

Figure 4: Projects location map showing the Jadar´s Project locations within the Vardar trend and the major lithium and borate deposits and occurrences
The sediments within the license area are mapped as early and middle Miocene lacustrine sediments. The lower Miocene lacustrine sediments are exposed in the southern and central part of the license area and consisting of siltstone and claystone. The lower Miocene formation likely extends north where it is covered and preserved by younger freshwater sediments consisting of siltstone, sandstone, and coarse clastic sequences. The Eastern part of the license area is made up of clastic formations composed of conglomerates and breccias.
Past work identified favourable lithology, structure, surface geochemistry, and indirect evidence of mineralisation in the form of pseudomorphs.
OTHER
The Company submitted its year-end report for Rekovac to the Ministry of Mining and Energy, and at the same time its application for exploration license renewal for a three-year term.
After discussion with members of the Geological and Mining Association of Serbia (GRAS), the Company submitted an official letter to Ministry of Mining and Energy and an official letter to the Ministry of Finance, given the current affects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Mining and Energy has been requested to:
-
Extend the exploration period for Cer and Vranje for a period of 6 months, and
-
Reduce the scope of exploration work program required to meet the requirements for the renewal of the exploration permit.
The Ministry of Finance has been requested to:
- Defer or reduce exploration tax for the duration of the state of emergency due to the inability to conduct exploration activities.

No field exploration activities occurred during the reporting period due to very cold winter months. The Company used this time to process all data, consider implications and plan field activities.
Corporate
The Group’s cash balance as 31 March 2020 was $1.25 million. During the quarter the aggregated amount of payments made to related parties and their associates totalled US$37,000 comprising director fees, company secretarial fees and accounting fees.
