During the quarter the Company completed orientation soil sampling and ground magnetics over the Limestone Well tenement in order to confirm drill targets for Vanadium / Titanium on the Limestone well project (see ASX Release dated 15 November 2018).

Orientation sampling has returned elevated assays of Vanadium and Titanium over the target stratigraphy soil sampling returned a peak value of 470ppm vanadium and 1.4% titanium. The results of the sampling confirm that the western high mag stratigraphy at Limestone Well is anomalous in vanadium and titanium and represents an excellent target for vanadium / titanium mineralisation.

Results from a ground magnetic survey over the project has identified several conductive bodies, one of which is coincident with the soil anomaly and is continuous along the target geology. The conductive body is interpreted to be magnetite bearing mafic rocks, the host for vanadium / titanium mineralisation in the Murchison district.

The results of the sampling and ground magnetics will be reviewed by management in the current quarter. A limited drill program is planned to test the potential for the Limestone Well property to host an economic vanadium resource in Q1/Q2 2019.

Moolyella Lithium Minerals Project

During the quarter the Company advised the tenement holder of E45/4462 that it would not extend the option beyond the 31st of December 2018.
