ASX Announcement | Monday 18 January 2021

Pan Asia Metals Commences Drilling at Reung Kiet Lithium Project in Thailand

Investment Highlights

  • Exploration Team and drill rig mobilised to the Reung Kiet Lithium Project.

  • The first ever hole at the Bang I Tum Lithium Prospect has commenced.

  • Drilling beneath old pit where lepidolite pegmatites were previously mined for tin.

  • Targeting lithium rich pegmatites up to 25m wide and associated dyke swarms.

  • Bang I Tum pit is approximately 650m in length.

  • Pegmatite trend about 1.5km long.

  • PAM channel and rock chip assays up to 1.9% Li2O extending southwest of pit.

Specialty metals explorer and developer Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: PAM) (‘PAM’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to report that rig mobilisation to the Reung Kiet Lithium Project in southern Thailand is complete and BTDD001, the first hole at the highly prospective Bang I Tum prospect, has been collared and drilling is underway.

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

Lepidolite is an emerging source of lithium supply

The advantages of lepidolite (unlike spodumene) is that lithium can be extracted without the need for energy intensive roasting, and lepidolite has a suite of potential by-products which are recoverable at the concentrator and processing stages of the flow sheet. Peer feasibility work has demonstrated lepidolite has the potential to be one of the highest purity sources of battery grade lithium carbonate[i] and lithium hydroxide[ii] , that lepidolite is one of the lowest cost sources of lithium hydroxide on an All In Sustaining Costs basis[iii] , and that lepidolite has one of the lowest capex requirements on a per tonne LCE basis after by-products[iv,v] .

RKLP was part of a major tin mining region up until the mid-1980s

There is little detailed information available regarding previous exploration and mining in the project area but 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[vi] . In the late 1960’s a joint Thai/British Geological Survey study was undertaken in the region[vii] . It was during this study that the lithium bearing mineral lepidolite 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 stated[vii, viii] :

  • “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[viii] .

In early 2019 PAM was granted the three contiguous Special Prospecting Licences (SPL’s) which make up the Reung Kiet Project (see Figure 1), which cover 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 8[th] October, 2020, and 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 21[st] October, 2020, and titled ‘Positive Discussions regarding Reung Kiet Lithium Project with Phang Nga Provincial Government’.

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 (see Figure 2). 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[vii] . 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 (see Figure 3). 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 a hill about 400m south of the pit. This swarm is 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 (see Figure 2).

Drilling at BIT is planned on 100-150m spaced sections along the pit length and extending southwest to “Lepidolite Hill” (see Figure 2). Drillhole depths will be up to about 180m and test the interpreted pegmatite positions beneath the open pit (see Figure 3).

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

Forward planning

Following the completion of the priority one holes 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.

Pan Asia Metals Managing Director Paul Lock said : “We are excited to not only be drilling the first ever holes at Bang I Tum but the overall potential of the Reung Kiet Lithium project. This particularly after Lepidico Limited (ASX:LPD) released its definitive feasibility study (DFS) results for the Karibib Lithium Project in May 2020, which positioned Karibib at the bottom of the capex and opex cost curves on a per tonne LiOH and Equivalents basis.

Like Karibib, PAM’s Reung Kiet Lithium Project has lepidolite style mineralization, but PAM’s drilling and trenching results to date have generally produced considerably higher Li2O grades than the Karibib “ore reserve”, and the Reung Kiet Lithium Project is in close proximity to all required processing inputs and our end markets.”
