Specialty metals explorer and developer Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: PAM) (‘PAM’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide this Quarterly Activities Report, summarising activities during the March 2021 quarter.

During the Quarter PAM focused its efforts at the Reung Kiet Lithium Project after completing its drilling program at the Khao Soon Tungsten Project. PAM is rapidly positioning itself to report inaugural Mineral Resources at both the Reung Kiet Lithium and Khao Soon Tungsten Projects later this year. Both projects are shaping up well and in line with PAM's expectations.

EXPLORATION

During the quarter PAM’s exploration activities focused on drilling at the Khao Soon Tungsten Project (KSTP) and the Reung Kiet Lithium Project (RKLP). Both projects are significant assets. KSTP is a significant historical tungsten producer and modern exploration has discovered potentially world-class, district scale tungsten mineralisation across numerous prospects. Reconnaissance diamond drilling by PAM has intersected robust widths and grades associated with strong surface anomalies, from which Exploration Targets have been estimated.

The RKLP contains a collection of small to medium scale historical alluvial and eluvial tin mines. Of specific interest to PAM are the Bang I Tum and Reung Kiet prospects, which contain pegmatites that host lithium mineralisation. Reconnaissance diamond drilling by PAM has intersected extensive pegmatite swarms at both prospects, all containing lepidolite and or muscovite and in some cases cassiterite.

KSTP – Target 2

Target 2 is defined by a large high tenor, tungsten in soil anomaly about 450m long and 150m wide (see Figure 1). Shallow drilling by previous explorers intersected tungsten mineralised laterite on the western side of the soil anomaly. Based upon the results of previous drilling and the large tungsten in soil anomaly an Exploration Target of 6-12Mt @ 0.1-0.3% WO3 was estimated for Target 2, with details reported on October 8, 2020 in ASX announcement ‘PAM Projects – ‘Technical Reports’. Readers are advised that in reference to the Exploration Target, the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Figure 1: Khao Soon Tungsten Project – T2 collar plan, proposed holes and geochemistry

During the quarter laboratory results were received for all nine (9) holes drilled at T2 (see Table 2). Results from the drilling program have confirmed robust near surface WO3 grades exist beneath much of the tungsten in soil anomaly which are generally in-line with the grades stated for the Exploration Target. Results for holes (KSDD023), drilled to test a deep Induced Polarisation and holes (KSDD030-031) drilled to test laterite hosted WO3 mineralisation west of the soil anomaly have tended to downgrade these targets, although further drilling is required due to the wide spaced nature of previous and current drillholes at these targets.

[3]

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

Additional drilling is planned at Target 2 and will test the soil anomaly along strike to the northeast and southwest where it remains open. Further holes are also planned to test the mineralised zone down dip. The estimation of a Mineral Resource is contingent upon the results of future drilling.

Readers are advised to refer to the following ASX announcements:

  • 15 Jan, 2021: ‘Khao Soon Tungsten Project Drilling Update’

KSTP – Than Pho West Prospect

Drilling of the last three (3) holes of a ten (10) hole program at Than Pho West (TPW) Prospect were completed during the Quarter (see Figure 2). During the quarter laboratory results were received for the first six (6) holes of the program (KSDD032-037). Information on the drillholes, laboratory assay results and spot hand-held X-ray fluorescence analysis (spot hhXRF) of holes KSDD038-041 are included in Table’s 1 and 2, respectively.

At TPW an Exploration Target of 4-8Mt @ 0.2-0.4% WO3 has been estimated, with details reported on October 8, 2020 in ASX announcement ‘PAM Projects – ‘Technical Reports’. Readers are advised that in reference to the Exploration Target, the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource .

The drilling program at TPW was designed as infill and extensional drilling to test the Exploration Target. Prior to this program PAM had previously completed seven widely spaced diamond core holes at TPW and defined near surface tungsten mineralisation up to 50m true width. The drilling was undertaken at sufficient spacing to enable a Mineral Resource estimate to be reported, subject to the success of the program and other factors that contribute to a Mineral Resource.

The results support previous work, confirming a relatively thick, shallow dipping mineralised zone, with the zone remaining open at depth on all sections and is yet to be closed off along strike.

During the Quarter drilling at TPW was paused upon completion of KSDD041 whilst the Company awaits assay results. The Company aims to undertake additional drilling later in 2021.

RKLP – Bang I Tum Prospect

Drilling of six (6) holes was completed at the Bang I Tum lithium prospect for a total of 963m (see Figure 3).

==> picture [426 x 503] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Reung Kiet Lithium Project – BIT collar plan, proposed holes and geochemistry

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. Mining of the weathered pegmatites extended up to 30m below

[6]

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

surface, to the top of hard rock. The mined pegmatite is recorded to be at least 20m wide. 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.

Drillholes BTDD001, 002 and 003 were drilled at relatively wide spacings beneath the old Bang I Tum open pit, with each hole intersecting an extensive swarm of pegmatite dykes, veins and stringers. The composite downhole width of the pegmatite intersections in each of these holes is approximately 30m.

All of the pegmatites intersected contain quartz, feldspar, local tourmaline and varying amounts of fine grained to clotty muscovite. The observed muscovite is visually estimated to vary between 5% and 25% of the pegmatite. As indicated in the 1960’s study the muscovite or “white lepidolite” is potentially lithium bearing. The pegmatite 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”.

Drill holes BTDD004, 005 and 006 were drilled approximately 500m along strike southwest of the Bang I Tum pit. These holes were all drilled on the same section (see Figure 4) and the pegmatites intersected in these holes contain quartz, feldspar and zones of lepidolite mineralisation, identifiable by its characteristic purple-pink colour. Muscovite is also present, along with minor cassiterite and tourmaline.

RKLP – Reung Kiet Prospect

Drilling of seven (7) Priority One holes commenced at the Reung Kiet South lithium prospect (see Figure 5).

==> picture [426 x 503] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Reung Kiet Lithium Project – RK South collar plan, proposed holes and geochemistry

The RK prospect was a relatively large open cut tin mine. The old pit is about 500m long and up to 125m wide. Mining of the weathered pegmatites extended up to 25m below surface, to the top of the hard rock.

[9]

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

The drilling program is aimed at testing for depth extensions to an extensive lepidolite rich pegmatite dyke swarm identified at surface by previous work conducted by PAM. This work included mapping, trenching and rock chip sampling. The target being drilled occurs to the southwest along strike from the old open cut (see Figure 6). The whole trend has a combined strike length of about 1km.

Figure 6: Reung Kiet Lithium Project – RK collar plan, proposed holes and geochemistry

[10]

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

All holes have intersected an extensive swarm of pegmatite, stringers, veins and dykes that intrude into fine grained metasediments (see Figure 7).

==> picture [426 x 503] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7: Reung Kiet Lithium Project – RK Cross Sections RKDD006 and RKDD007

The pegmatites are located immediately down dip of similar pegmatite dyke swarm that have been identified at surface. The pegmatites are interpreted to be dipping about 20-30 degrees to the southeast in line with exposures observed in trenching and in an old mine excavation at

[11]

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

the southern end of the trend. Most of the pegmatites intersected contain abundant lepidolite which occurs as clots, bands or massive zones.

Previous trenching at the interpreted surface expression of the pegmatites intersected in the drilling has returned consistent Li2O grades of >1% Li2O. However, lithium grades of the pegmatites intersected in the drilling can only be confirmed by laboratory analysis, which has yet to be received.

Weathering in the drillholes extends to approximately 40m below surface. Metallurgical testing of weathered pegmatites sampled from the trenching program has indicated that high recoveries of lepidolite can be achieved from the weathered material. The weathered pegmatite also contains potentially recoverable by-products such as kaolin and quartz which are potentially valuable but would otherwise report to tailings.

Readers are advised to refer to the following ASX announcements:

  • 08 Oct, 2020: ‘PAM Projects – ‘Technical Reports’

  • 18 Jan, 2020: ‘Drilling commences at Reung Kiet Lithium Project’

  • 25 Mar, 2021: ‘Drilling Update – Reung Kiet Lithium Prospect’

Minter Tungsten Project

On 2 December, 2020, the Company announced that a six hole, 1000-1200m drill plan for the Doyenwae prospect had been approved by the NSW Government and that PAM intended conducting this program in December 2020.

Previous diamond drilling combined with geological mapping of exposures suggests that historical drill holes at the Doyenwae prospect were not drilled in an optimal direction and/or dip relative to newly identified controls of mineralisation, specifically quartz veins that are parallel to the drilling direction and also steeply dipping to near vertical. The aim of the upcoming drilling program is to test this new interpretation and if successful conduct additional drilling and assess the potential to delineate an Exploration Target and/or Inferred Resource.

The planned drilling program has been postponed pending ratification of a land transfer relevant to the Land Access and Compensation Agreement.

Readers are advised to refer to the following ASX announcements:

  • 8 October, 2020: ‘PAM Projects – Technical Reports’

  • 2 December, 2020: ‘Minter Tungsten Project - Drilling Program approved’

MARKETS

There have been substantial positive moves in the lithium and tungsten markets in 2021, as shown in the charts below.

Battery grade lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) on an ex-works basis China has increased ~120% from a 12 month low of US$5,850/t in July 2020 to a 12 month high of US$12,850/t in March this year. Similarly lithium hydroxide (LiOH) on an ex-works basis China has increased ~35% from a 12 month low of US$7,650/t in August 2020 to a 12 month high of US$10,325/t in March this year.

Ammonium paratungstate (APT) is the benchmark price used for tungsten trioxide (WO3) concentrates. WO3 concentrates are priced at a ~18-35% discount to the APT price, the discount is governed by a number of factors including market conditions, geography and the quality of the concentrate. The APT price on a Free on Board (FOB) basis has increased by ~32% from a 12 month low of US$20,500/t in July 2020 to US$27,000/t in April this year.

PAM’s objective is to identify and develop battery and critical metals (specialty metals) projects which have the potential to be situated in the lower third of the cost curve and which are situated in low cost jurisdictions proximal to advanced industrial centres. This strategy offers PAM two key advantages: i. lower cost projects have more robust economics, and therefore can weather the commodity cycle; and ii. for a lower cost projects with the right minerology and which are proximal to advanced industrial centres, there is greater potential for value adding, which in-turn can soften the amplification of the underlying commodity cycle and result in a greater diversity of revenue streams. This is the reason PAM focuses on project opportunities in Asia.

[13]

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

PROJECT GENERATION

PAM focuses on Asia for both geological and economic reasons, with a primary focus on Southeast Asia. Three of the Company’s projects are located in the Thai section of the South East Asian Tin-Tungsten Belt, which extends from Myanmar in the north through Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia to the Tin Islands in the south. This belt is appealing due to the occurrence of a suite of specialty metals associated with granite related tin, tungsten, lithium, tantalum, niobium, rubidium, cesium, rare earths and other rare metals. There has been very little modern exploration and the belt contains some of the largest historical tin producing districts in the world, particularly Southern Thailand and much of Peninsula Malaysia.

Operating in Asia gives the Company access to modern industrial economies with globally competitive cost environments, and the fastest growing and most populous region on earth. The Company’s strategy is simple, we seek to secure exploration and development assets which have the potential to be positioned in the lowest or leading third of the cost curve and which position the Company for downstream value adding opportunities. Cost curve positioning is paramount in our decision-making, as assets positioned further up the cost curve are generally more difficult to finance and develop. Regardless of the size or grade of an asset, if finance cannot be secured then the asset is worth relatively little.

The opportunity to move downstream is also very important. In general, value adding mine output will offer the Company better and more consistent profit margins and a larger footprint of customers, and exposure to new opportunities. For specialty metals such as tungsten and lithium value adding can be easily incorporated into a feasibility study if the geology, geography and cost environment is right.

During the quarter the Company considered several opportunities which meet its stated strategic objectives, all such opportunities are located in Asia and would complement the Company’s project portfolio.

COVID-19

In the December 2020 Quarterly Report PAM reported that that there had been a fresh COVID19 outbreak in Thailand. During the March Quarter Thailand experienced ongoing COVID-19 infections. In early April the country reported its highest daily case rate since the beginning of the pandemic. For safety and health reasons PAM’s Bangkok based administration staff are working from home as necessary and at their election. The risk of infection for PAM’s field staff is lower but PAM’s staff conduct their activities with caution. The Company does not expect any material disruptions to its exploration activities.

CORPORATE

During the Quarter there were no corporate activities.

PAM is a US Dollar reporter and therefore its financial statements are reported in US Dollars, including its Quarterly Appendix 5B.

As at 31 March, 2021, the Company held A$2.37m (US$1.81m) in cash.

Spot hand-held XRF analysis (KSDD038 to 041)

PAM has utiltised a rented Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t GOLDD[+] analyser to take relatively rapid (60 second) measurements over an area about 20mm[2] to report 36 elements. In this case, it is used by PAM geologists to take readings on drill core to evaluate the tenor of the contained tungsten mineralisation and other associated pathfinder elements. The spot readings on the core are yet to verified by an independent laboratory and the Company wishes to make clear that the hhXRF results are not formal assays but are preliminary estimates of tungsten grades only, and require confirmation by appropriate sampling and independent laboratory analysis.

However, it is PAM’s experience that the spot hhXRF analysis does provide a relatively good indication of tungsten grades when compared to those reported from laboratory analysis. This is especially the case in more weathered mineralisation and is based upon extensive QA/QC conducted by PAM during previous drilling campaigns at Khao Soon. However, in fresh rock spot hhXRF becomes a considerably less reliable indicator of tungsten grade and will commonly underestimate by a significant factor.
