EV Resources Limited (ASX:EVR) (“ EVR ”, the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities for the December 2021 Quarter. The Company’s focus for the reporting period has been on the finalization of the acquisition of the Khartoum Project, acquisition of the Shaw River Project, acquisition of additional Pilbara lithium tenements, signing of non-binding MOU’s with THAIARCO and Yahua, and acquisition of the New Standard Copper Project.

Shaw River Lithium, Tin and Tantalum Project (EVR 80% interest)

During the quarter the Company announced that due diligence had been completed on the Shaw River Project and the Company is moving towards completion of the acquisition. The Shaw River Exploration Licence 45/5849 comprises 22 sub-blocks or 70 square kilometres and covers several areas of historic tin-tantalum workings, located 220km from Port Headland and 70km from Marble Bar.

The area has a strong history with successful mining of alluvial tin and tantalum as part of the Shaw River Tin Field and demonstrated potential for lithium and rare earth minerals.

Figure 1 – Shaw River sample locations

Samples collected were predominantly from outcropping pegmatite, with four stream sediment and one float sample also collected. Maximum lithium value was 212ppm in two samples, both collected from outcropping mica-rich pegmatite.

Lithium minerals are susceptible to surface weathering, with outcrop sampling often producing results that may not be representative of lithium content in the fresh portions of the host rock. In lithium exploration, k/Rb ratios are utilised as geochemical and metallogenic markers to determine fractionisation of the pegmatite host and location within the magmatic–hydrothermal transition zone. Fractionisation, or element zonation within the magmatic melt, is critical for the formation of economic pegmatite-hosted lithium mineralisation. As fractionisation of the parent melt increases, pegmatitic–hydrothermal evolution is characterised by increased substitution of K with Rb in micas and feldspars. Ratios of <30 and <20 in pure Feldspar and Muscovite respectively are considered as Rare Element Pegmatite and Spodumene-Subtype Pegmatite

respectively. A cluster of k/Rb ratio values around 30 in the sample group in the western part of the tenure may be indicative of a highly fractionated pegmatite. A high Caesium value of almost 100ppm in sample Sh00024 and Sn to 267ppm in Sh00001 is also considered as evidence for a Rare Element Pegmatite.

Based on minimal sampling, with only 10 to 20 percent of the tenement visited to date, and the observed presence of numerous pegmatite occurrences in zones to over 15 metres width in conjunction with sample analyses that indicate fractionisation of pegmatite, with fractionisation of pegmatite important for lithium mineral concentration, the Company considers the Shaw River Project to have considerable potential to host lithium-tantalum mineralisation. It should be noted the results to date, whilst extremely encouraging, indicate potential, but do not confirm the presence, of economic lithium mineralisation.

The next stage of exploration at Shaw River will comprise geological mapping and systematic channel sampling across pegmatite outcrop, particularly in the Hillside and Upper Five Mile Creek areas where elevated K/Rb ratios were recognised. Satellite imagery will be utilised to determine the presence of pegmatite outcrop in other areas of the tenement that have not been visited, and mapping and detailed sampling of any observed pegmatite will also be undertaken.

Pilbara Lithium Project (EVR acquiring 100% interest)

During the quarter EVR announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of four exploration licenses in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia from private company Calatos Pty Ltd (“ Calatos ”, “ Vendor ”). The acquisition strategically expands EVR’s portfolio of critical green metal assets to service the battery technology and high growth electronics sectors. Acquisition consideration totals the issuance of 8,500,000 EVR shares.

The four tenements being acquired, E45/6088, E45/5717, E45/5821 and E45/5879 are located within 100km of the Shaw River Tin-Tantalum-Lithium Project on which EVR has acquired an 80% interest.

The East Pilbara region of Western Australia is renown as a world-class lithium province also with potential for associated tantalum and REE mineralisation. The region already hosts two of the largest hard rock lithium deposits in the world at Wodgina and Pilgangoora with several other resources defined by other companies.

During the quarter EVR completed a preliminary field assessment on the four exploration licenses in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. The field assessment was undertaken as part of the Company’s due diligence process and involved geological reconnaissance and the collection of samples to determine the prospectivity of the tenements.

Figure 3 – East Pilbara Tenements Location

E45/5821 – located immediately north from the Pilgangoora Lithium Project. Although not all of the tenement could be accessed due to wet conditions, the observed areas in the south and west were noted as being richly endowed with pegmatite as initially recognised as potential target areas on aerial imagery. At several sample points significant extent of pegmatite was recorded, in zones stretching to over two hundred metres visible width. Amblygonite, a mineral composed of lithium, sodium, and aluminum phosphate and exploited as a lithium ore, was tentatively recognised at one location. Similar pegmatite targets recognised through assessment of aerial images are present in the eastern portion of the tenement and will be visited when vehicle access is possible.

E45/5879 and E45/5717 host historic gold and base metal workings including the historic Glen Herring gold, Sharks North copper-lead zinc mines and Spring Gully alluvial gold mines. All sites were visited including a few historic mining areas not previously noted on Mindex, and samples were collected at all sites. Evidence of previous prospecting, predominantly shallow trenches, was also noted. Mineralisation appears to be associated with basalt/komatiite contacts and shears-jogs in basalts, cherts and banded iron formation. A number of locations were noted hosting brecciated quartz veining and chert.

Figure 6 – Alluvial mining within E45/5717, not documented in Mindex.

The preliminary reconnaissance visit has confirmed the prospectivity of the tenure visited with all tenements either displaying evidence of mineralisation via historic working and/or evidence of targeted lithology, particularly pegmatite in the western tenements. All samples have been submitted to the laboratory and results are awaited.

Khartoum Tin-Silver-Tungsten Project (EVR 100% Interest)

The Khartoum Project comprises five granted Exploration Licence for Minerals (EPM) and one EPM application covering 390 square kilometres.

An early-stage reconnaissance field trip has been conducted throughout the region. The aim of the work was to inspect regional access roads and tracks to finalise the upcoming proposed field work and drilling program. The reconnaissance field trip was limited to public access tracks only whilst statutory notice period timeframes for site access are passing.

The initial proposed area of focus for the field work and drilling program is the Boulder-Ahmets area which comprises a 9km by 3km zone of anomalous tin defined by surface geochemistry and geological mapping. The Boulder-Ahmets area was the focus for detailed geological investigation by Auzex Resources for greisen-style bulk-tonnage tin mineralisation based on the presence of numerous vein- hosted historic tin mines (targeting higher-grade tin mineralisation, previous results from outcrop sampling, and the presence of numerous zones of exposed strong greisen alteration. Initial mapping and rock chip sampling identified strong greisen alteration primarily along two sub-parallel, NNW-SSE trending ridges, each zone extending for over five kilometres.

Follow-up channel sampling, comprising continuous 5 metre composite rock chip samples across the extent of the more strongly identified greisen targets, returned numerous anomalous results including:

  • 35m at 0.34% Sn

  • 49m at 0.22% Sn

  • 10m at 0.31% Sn

  • 4m at 1.0% Sn

evresources.com.au

311-313 Hay St Subiaco, Western Australia 6008 +61 (0) 8 6489 0600 [email protected]

The rock chip sampling results subsequently led to a drilling programme to determine the significance of the surface sampling results, comprising 5 RC holes and one diamond hole. All holes intersected significant tin mineralisation including:

Hole From(m) Interval Sn %
BARC07-01 39 12 0.2
BARC07-02 44 3 1.22
BARC07-03 82 4 0.11
BARC07-03 99 30 0.28
BARC07-04 30 23 0.14
BARC07-06 39 3 0.24
BARD07-05* 12 104 0.21

* Diamond hole

Table 1 – Boulder-Ahmets previous drilling significant intercepts at 0.1% Sn cut off

Apart from broad, lower-grade tin mineralisation, the drilling also intersected individual highergrade vein hosted tin mineralisation up to 3.0% Sn in BARC07-02, likely the target for historic miners. Hence, the greisen alteration also hosts higher-grade vein-style tin mineralisation that will increase the overall grade of potential resources. Only the western greisen trend was tested by drilling as this area provided easier access from the existing track. Of significance was the correlation in grade between the surface channel samples and the drill intersections, providing a simple method to target with drilling the better zones as indicated from surface sampling.

Further drilling is required to determine the depth of greisen development and associated tin mineralisation, and the lateral extent of the potentially economic tin-greisen mineralisation, along the defined greisen alteration trends. The proposed drilling program will be step out drilling from previous significant intercepts to further delineate the extent of mineralisation. In parallel to this work an additional drilling program will be defined to test the other known mineralised outcropping greisen bodies within the prospect area.

Figure 7 – Boulder-Ahmets previous rock chip sample locations, previous 5m composite channel locations, and previous drilling locations

The Boulder-Ahmets area is made up of Carboniferous – Permian granitoids of the O’Briens Creek Super Suite (Elizabeth Creek Granite) along with lesser volcanic equivalents dominate the geology of the Boulder-Ahmets Prospect. The intrusives host a range of Mo, Bi, Au, Ag, W and Sn deposits. Almost all rock-chip samples containing high-grade tin were collected from zones of greisen alteration. The greisen zones may be flat-lying/shallow dipping, steeplydipping and traceable for up to 1km in length, or forming sub-vertical ‘pipes’ (average width of approximately 50m) and exposed as prominent topographical features. Indications were that tin occurs as disseminated cassiterite in greisen and to a lesser extent in quartz veins.

311-313 Hay St Subiaco, Western Australia 6008 +61 (0) 8 6489 0600 [email protected]

Locally, sericite alteration increases in the vicinity of greisen zones and major fault-fracture zones. Small (<0.01km2), discrete strong greisen altered zones occur throughout the BoulderAhmets prospect. Almost all rock-chips containing high- grade tin were collected from within these zones, which is also partly reflected in the tin-in-soil data. Greisen alteration zones occur in 3 main structural styles or types:

  • Type 1 - As 5-50cm fracture selvedge zones. These selvedges are relatively planar and continuous features, with dominantly flat-lying to shallow dips.

  • Type 2 - Steeply-dipping ≤15m wide planar alteration zones. These zones all have a dominant NW trend (± local bends/kinks up to 30°) and are traceable for up to 1km.

  • Type 3 - Larger alteration zones form prominent topographical features throughout the Boulder-Ahmets area. The geometries of these zones are interpreted as subvertical ‘pipes’ with average width of ~50m and average aspect ratio of 2.3. The dominant long axis is NW trending.

EVR are continuing the assessment of the numerous greisen zones in the Boulder Ahmets area through rock chip sampling to determine the lateral extent of tin mineralisation and to define additional drill targets.

New Standard Copper Project (EVR acquiring 100% Interest)

During the quarter EVR announced that it had reached terms with a private owner to acquire the New Standard Project in the Cienega Mining District of La Paz County, Arizona, USA (refer ASX announcement 14 October 2021). Arizona has a strong history of mining and hosts some of the largest copper discoveries in the world, such as Bagdad and Miami, and one of the largest undeveloped copper resources in the Resolution deposit.

Following an agreement being reached EVR mobilised a geology team to the New Standard Copper Project (“ Project” ) to commence geological mapping and sampling to commence due diligence in Arizona, as well as to define targets for immediate drill permitting and testing once the Project is acquired. Samples will be collected by a veteran professional geologist, for analysis at local laboratories, and planning will start for intensive geological programmes.

The Project comprises 6 lode claims covering 120 contiguous acres, in a district of considerable old workings dating back to the 19th century. Historic workings provide evidence of copper mineralisation over a 1.5 kilometre extent. It appears from desktop studies of historical reports that mining and processing continued to approximately 1922. Historic shafts are reported to 365 feet (112 metres) depth with development on at least four levels. No modern exploration has been undertaken in the area and EVR intends to commence a programme of geological mapping, outcrop and mine sampling, and geophysics to define highgrade copper targets before moving rapidly to drill testing.

An historical description of the workings was detailed in reports lodged with the Arizona Geological Society. EVR has made an initial site inspection which confirmed promising geology and provided information for definition of potential drill targets.

EVR is working closely with SRK Consulting, a leading international mining consultancy firm providing focused services to clients in the resource industry.

Weinebene and Eastern Alps Lithium Projects (EVR 80% interest)

In May 2021 EVR and European Lithium Limited entered into Collaboration Agreement in order to progress the Company’s Weinebene and Eastern Alps Lithium Projects (EVR 80% interest), located in Austria.

Under the Collaboration Agreement it was proposed that a Technical Advisory Committee be established for the purpose of jointly collaborating in connection with the Weinebene and Eastern Alps Projects and sharing information to identify the best options to advance those assets and operations. This includes making recommendations for exploration programs, budgets and development scenarios in relation to the assets and operations.

During the quarter the company proceeded with the establishment of the Technical Advisory Committee which was proposed under the Collaboration Agreement between the Company and European Lithium Limited (ASX:EUR) (FRA:PF8) (OTC:EULIF) in order to grow and expand the world class Wolfsberg Lithium Project.

The Technical Advisory Committee comprising of Mr. Tony Sage of European Lithium and Mr. Luke Martino of EVR has now been established and has commenced joint efforts to expand the Wolfsberg Lithium Project and look for potential extensions to the mineralisation that may continue into the Weinebene Project. Review of the previous drilling has commenced under the direction of the Technical Advisory Committee in order to appropriately plan follow up programs.

There can be nо assurance that EVR’s plans for development of its mineral properties will proceed as currently expected. Therе can also be no assurance that EVR will be able to confirm the presence of additional mineral resources, that any mineralisation will prove to be economic or that a mine will successfully be developed on any of EVR’s mineral properties. The performance of EVR may be influenced by a number of factors which are outside the control of the Company and its Directors, staff, and contractors. These statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding future production, resources or reserves and exploration results. All of such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of the company, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) those relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral

deposits and conclusions of economic evaluations, (ii) risks relating to possible variations in reserves, grade, planned mining dilution and ore loss, or recovery rates and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, (iii) the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies, (iv) risks related to commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, (v) risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or delays in obtaining governmental approvals or in the completion of development or construction activities, and (vi) other risks and uncertainties related to the company’s prospects, properties and business strategy. Our audience is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forwardlooking statements that speak only as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake any obligation to revise and disseminate forward- looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of or non-occurrence of any events.

$10M Mint Finance Facility

The Company executed a Standby Placement Agreement (SPA) with US based Mint Capital Advisors Ltd (Mint) for a financing facility of up to $10 million over a two year term. The key terms of the Facility are summarised below.

  • EV Resources Limited (EVR) may elect at its sole discretion to drawdown funds in consideration for the issue of shares to Mint in accordance with the terms of the Facility.

  • Any shares issued to Mint following a request for drawdown made by EVR will be issued at a price per share equal to 90% of the average of the 15 trading day daily VWAP of EVR’s shares as published by Bloomberg for the 15 trading days following the date of issue of EVR’s drawdown notification.

  • The number of shares to be issued to Mint will be that number of shares equal to 5 times the average daily traded volume of shares on ASX for the 15 trading days following the date of issue of EVR’s drawdown notification to the total value of the drawdown requested by EVR.

  • EVR may drawdown up to $300,000 per month (Maximum Drawdown) (or such larger amounts as agreed by the parties).

  • EVR will only be able to drawdown funds if the issue price that is calculated on notification of the drawdown is above a floor price of $0.04 per share. No notification of a drawdown is able to occur if 90% of the average of the 15 daily VWAPs for the actual trading days immediately prior to the drawdown notice, is below $0.04 per share. However, if the actual issuance price calculated according to the terms of the Facility is less than the floor price, the drawdown will still proceed unless both parties agree otherwise.

  • Mint shall not be entitled to own more than 9.99% of the shares in EVR, either pursuant to the terms of the Facility or via one or more on-market acquisitions, at any given time. If Mint’s shareholding was to increase above 9.99%, then Mint would need to use its reasonable endeavours to sell down part of its shareholding to ensure compliance with the terms of the Facility or a respective drawdown would be reduced accordingly.

  • All issuances of shares under the Facility are subject to compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules. Drawdowns will be undertaken in reliance on Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.1A – if the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, then it will not undertake a drawdown and no shares will be issued until such time as the Company has capacity to do so
