Pan Asia Metals progresses drilling program at Reung Kiet Lithium Project

HIGHLIGHTS

  • PAM has completed the first ever drill hole at the Bang I Tum lithium prospect

  • Hole BTDD001 intersects a pegmatite dyke swarm from 46.5m to 164.5m

  • Composite thickness of pegmatite approximately 25m from 86.3-135.3m

  • Pegmatite contains quartz, feldspar and muscovite

  • Muscovite is potentially the source of lithium at Bang I Tum

  • Accessory cassiterite and Cu and Fe sulphides also present

  • Drilling of hole BTDD002 has commenced

Specialty metals explorer and developer Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: PAM) (‘PAM’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to report that drillhole BTDD001, the first ever hole drilled at the Bang I Tum lithium prospect, has been completed.

Pan Asia Metals Managing Director Paul Lock said : “ We are very pleased with the initial drilling results at Bang I Tum, which accord with the literature and our expectations. We are looking forward to the results in the next holes and particularly our planned drilling under Lepidolite Hill, which is to the south of the historical Bang I Tum tin mine.

The Reung Kiet Lithium Project has the potential to be a very low cost operation and, being the only lithium project in South East Asia, and in close proximity to the advanced industrial centres of Thailand and Malaysia and the massive battery markets of Asia, provides PAM with a suite of advantages including its close proximity to all required processing inputs .”

Overview

The Reung Kiet Lithium Project (RKLP) is one of PAM’s key projects (see Figure 1). RKLP, inclusive of the Bang I Tum lithium prospect, is a hard rock project with demonstrated potential for lithium hosted in lepidolite/mica rich pegmatites chiefly composed of quartz, albite, lepidolite, muscovite with minor cassiterite and tantalite as well as other accessory minerals including some rare earths.

Recent drilling

Drilling at BIT is planned on 100-150m spaced sections along the pit length and extending southwest to “Lepidolite Hill” (see Figure 1). Drillhole depths are planned up to about 180m and will test the interpreted pegmatite positions beneath the open pit and along strike to the south west.

Drillhole BTDD001 was drilled to a depth 171m at a dip of -60 degrees, to direction 310 degrees magnetic. Additional data is provided in Appendix 1, being JORC Table 1.

Figure 1: The Bang I Tum Lithium Prospect with proposed drill hole locations

The drillhole traversed weathered siltstone to 14.5m, and then passed into fresh metasiltstone. The hole intersected a swarm of 17 separate pegmatite stringers, veins and dykes commencing at 46.5m and continuing through to 164.5m. These zones ranged in thickness from 0.1m to 6.9m. A central zone of more extensive and wider dykes is present from 86.3m to 135.3m. This 49m wide zone contains seven dykes which total 24.7m of composite

thickness. Individual dykes in this zone are typically 2 to 6.9m wide. Additional, but narrower pegmatite veins and stringers continue to 164.5m. The pegmatite swarm would appear to be vertically extensive, occurring from 50m to 110m below the old pit floor (see Figure 2).

==> picture [55 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

All of the pegmatites intersected in the hole contain quartz, feldspar and varying amounts of fine grained to clotty muscovite, as well as tourmaline which is locally altered to chlorite (see Photo 1). Detailed logging is yet to be undertaken, however, the observed muscovite, is visually estimated to vary between 5% and 25% of the pegmatite. The muscovite is the potential lithium-bearing mineral phase in the pegmatite. Muscovite is a white mica, unlike lepidolite which is predominantly a purple to pink coloured mica. At Bang I Tum previous work has identified that both muscovite and lepidolite can contain lithium. In a 1960’s study it is stated “much paler-coloured, and also white lepidolite (aka muscovite) with over 4.0% lithia (Li2O) occurs in the Bang I Tum pegmatite[i] ”. Work by PAM, including mineralogical studies of lithium bearing pegmatite from Lepidolite Hill about 500m south of BTDD001, shows that muscovite is the dominant lithium bearing mineral over lepidolite. This is also borne out visually, in that the characteristic purple/pink coloured lepidolite is less abundant in the lithium rich pegmatites at Lepidolite Hill.

The pegmatite in BTDD001 also contains disseminated cassiterite (tin oxide) and local pyrite and chalcopyrite. Tin is a potentially valuable component of the pegmatite, and the 1960’s study states that at Bang I Tum: “The pegmatites have all been deeply excavated because of their rich tenor of tin[i] ”.

Bang I Tum Lithium Prospect (BIT)

The Bang I Tum prospect was a relatively large open cut tin mine. The old pit is about 650m long and up to 125m wide as shown in Figure 1. Mining of the weathered pegmatites extended up to 30m below surface, to the top of hard rock.

The mined pegmatite is recorded to be at least 20m wide[i] . The pit is now water filled, with water depths to a maximum 15m. Additional smaller scale mining extended further along strike to the southwest. Soil and rock-chip sampling has defined the Main trend and an Eastern trend. The prospective Main trend is about 1.5km long. Rock chip sampling has yielded 14 of 24 samples >0.5% Li2O, with an average grade of 1.23% Li2O plus accessory tin and tantalum. A lepidolite pegmatite dyke swarm can be observed on “Lepidolite Hill” about 400m south of the pit. This swarm is potentially up to 100m wide with individual dykes up to 7m wide.

The Eastern trend is about 1.5km long, located approximately 350m east of, and parallel to the Main trend as shown in Figure 1.

RKLP was part of a major tin mining region up until the late 1980’s

There is little detailed information available regarding previous exploration and mining in the project area. Up to the late 1980’s southern Thailand was a globally significant tin producer. In Phang Nga Province tin concentrate production of approximately 300,000 tonnes was recorded from 1965 to 1990[ii] . In the late 1960’s a joint Thai/British Geological Survey study was undertaken in the region[ii] . It was during this study that the lithium bearing mica was identified in weathered pegmatites that were being mined for tin at the Reung Kiet and Bang I Tum open pit mines as well as at several other mines in close proximity.

The 1960’s study conducted geological mapping, geochemical analysis and mineralogical descriptions of various tailings, concentrate and rock samples as well as lepidolite beneficiation studies. The lepidolite and lithium bearing muscovite was found to contain 3-4% Li2O. With significant focus on two key tin mines, Reung Kiet and Bang I Tum, the survey also stated[i] :

  • “the pegmatites at Reung Kiet and Bang I Tum may well be the largest un-zoned lepidolite pegmatites yet recorded”

  • “lepidolite is fairly evenly distributed both along the length of the pegmatite and from wall to wall. In places there is local enrichment of massive lepidolite” ; and

  • “much paler-coloured, and also white lepidolite with over 4.0% lithia (Li2O) occurs in the Bang I Tum pegmatite”

Exploration history

There is no recorded exploration activity in the project area since the 1960’s study. In 2011, Thai company Mae Fah Mining Co. Limited (Mae Fah) lodged prospecting licence applications over the area. In 2014 UK based ECR Minerals Plc (ECR) entered into an option agreement to acquire the project. That option did not proceed and the tenement applications lapsed. Mae Fah and ECR conducted some minor sampling in the area. This work reported 11 rock chip samples from unknown locations with analytical results showing 8 of the 11 samples yielding elevated Li2O, ranging up to 1.9%. Accessory Sn and Ta was also identified[iii] .

In early 2019 PAM was granted the three contiguous Special Prospecting Licences (SPL’s) which constitute the Reung Kiet Project (as shown in Figure 1), covering an area of approximately 38km². PAM has undertaken soil, rock chip and stream sediment sampling in conjunction with geological mapping, pit surveying and preliminary mineralogical studies. Trenching and diamond drilling at the old Reung Kiet mine has also been completed along with sighter beneficiation test-work. See PAM’s ASX announcement dated October 8, 2020, titled “PAM Projects – Technical Reports’. These programs have consistently delivered highly encouraging results. To date the work program has focused on the Reung Kiet Prospect in the south of the project area and the Bang I Tum prospect about 10km to the north. Additional reconnaissance exploration has been undertaken more broadly across the project area.

In October 2020 PAM was invited by the Chief Executive Officer of the Phang Nga Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO), a Phang Nga Provincial Government coordinating body, to present PAM and the Reung Kiet Lithium Project. The meeting was called to assist the Phang Nga Provincial Government with their considerations for the potential establishment of mining and industrial development areas. Also present was the Chairman of the Phang Nga New Town Planning Committee, who conveyed the Committee’s support for the Reung Kiet Lithium Project. The PAO stated that it wants to ensure that the requirements of the Reung Kiet Lithium Project are incorporated into the Phang Nga New Town Planning Committee’s zoning plans to ensure that the project can progress should exploration and feasibility results prove positive. See PAM’s ASX announcement dated October 21, 2020, titled ‘Positive Discussions regarding Reung Kiet Lithium Project with Phang Nga Provincial Government’.

Forward planning

PAM has four priority one drill holes planned at BIT, with additional drilling contingent on positive results from these holes.

Following the completion of drilling at BIT, PAM intends to relocate the rig to the nearby Reung Kiet prospect to conduct additional drilling that will target lepidolite rich pegmatites identified in previous trenching and mapping programs conducted by PAM.

Results of the priority one holes at BIT will be assessed and further drilling may be conducted.

The Company looks forward to keeping Shareholders and the market updated on the drilling progress and results obtained from the drilling program at Bang I Tum.
