Competent Persons Statement
The information in this Public Report that relates to Exploration Targets, Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr David Hobby, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Hobby is an employee, Director and Shareholder of Pan Asia Metals Limited. Mr Hobby has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Hobby consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
Khao Soon Tungsten Project JORC Exploration Target
At its Khao Soon Tungsten Project PAM has generated a drill supported Exploration Target of 15-29 million tonnes grading 0.2-0.4% WO3 as defined under JORC Code (2012). Readers are advised that 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.
Readers are advised to refer to the following previous ASX release for details on the Exploration Target: 08/10/2020 Technical Reports for PAM Projects
Readers are advised that relevant ASX releases for details on other technical data reported in this presentation can be found in Note 13 on Page 46 of this presentation.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements and that all material assumptions and technical parameters continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.
Important
To the extent permitted by law, PAM and its officers, employees, related bodies corporate and agents (Agents) disclaim all liability, direct, indirect or consequential (and whether or not arising out of the negligence, default or lack of care of PAM and/or any of its Agents) for any loss or damage suffered by a Recipient or other persons arising out of, or in connection with, any use or reliance on this presentation or information.

PAM is in a low cost environment

Thailand is an extremely low cost environment:
-
The adjacent chart measures Australian underground mining costs on a A$ per tonne mined basis (blue diamonds)
-
By comparison, the A$ equivalent mining costs for the KEMCO underground silver, lead, zinc mine Pre-feasibility Study in Thailand (red diamond) are considerably lower[11]
Savings throughout the cost structure:
-
Capital inputs supported by investment incentives
-
Skilled and unskilled labour
-
Energy, rentals and taxes

A Compelling Investment Case
==> picture [228 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [842 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
-
PAM is the only lithium explorer in SE Asia – it has two projects containing three lithium prospects which have returned robust Li2O grades and which are in close proximity to the fast growing Asian EV and LIB markets
-
PAM’s strategy is to generate a sufficient ore reserve to feed a 5,000-10,000tpa LCE plant with a minimum 10 year mine life
-
PAM holds the Khao Soon project – a potentially world class project consisting of 10 prospects, 4 of which have a combined drill supported Exploration Target of 15-29Mt at 0.2-0.4% WO3, supported by more recent drilling
-
Tungsten is the world’s No.1 “critical” raw material, China currently produces ~83% of global supply, Industry is looking for supply diversification
-
Asia provides PAM with certain geo-strategic advantages, PAM is strategically positioned between the advanced industrial centres of Thailand and Malaysia
-
PAM’s assets and geography position the Company for Lower Capex and Lower Opex outcomes = Lower Cost Production
-
PAM’ assets and geography position the Company to move beyond the mine gate and supply specialty metals into the Asian markets
-
A Board with over 65 years operating experience in Asia supported by a strong in country team
-
Potential price catalysts: Drilling Results - JORC Mineral Resources - Feasibility Studies - Portfolio Expansion

-
To date 41 diamond core holes for a total of 3,514m
-
i. Drilling highly successful, discovering near surface intersections containing good tungsten grades over considerable widths.
-
Drill supported Exploration Target (ET) 15-29Mt @ 0.2%-0.4% WO3 defined in accordance with the JORC Code (2012)
-
i. ET generated with information from drill holes KSDD001-022
-
ii. ET model supported by recent drilling (KSDD023-041, 1,602m)
-
Hard rock tungsten (wolframite) mineralisation generally hosted in high grade breccia
-
Extensive oxide hosted tungsten mineralisation:
-
i. Tungsten in thick profiles at/near surface
-
ii. Likely vectors to underlying hard rock WO3 mineralization
-
Best intersections include:
-
i. KSDD001 – 51.5m @ 0.50% WO3 from 0m, incl. 12.8m @ 1.07% WO3 from 14.8m
-
ii. KSDD021 – 14.55m @ 0.47% WO3 from 0m, incl. 7.3m @ 0.62% WO3 from 0m
-
iii. KSDD024: 13.1m @ 0.51% WO3 from surface, incl. 4.6m @ 0.97% WO3 from 8.5m

Reung Kiet Lithium Project (Pan Asia Metals 100%)
==> picture [228 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [842 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
Reung Kiet Highlights:
-
2.5km combined strike based on pits, drilling, exposures and rock chips
-
Mined lepidolite pegmatites up to 25m wide
-
Average rock chip grades of 1.41% Li2O (Avg. 148 samples, >0.5% cutoff) with accessory Sn and Ta
-
Total diamond drilling to date: 14 holes for ~1,870m
-
Pegmatite and or dyke swarms intersected in all holes
Reung Kiet has strong underlying dynamics:
-
Project is a good fit with the Thai Government’s industrial policy and objectives, has strong support
-
Feasibility work by ASX listed Lepidico, Lithium Australia, European Metals and Infinity Lithium strongly endorses lithium micas as potentially lowest cost source of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide
-
Lepidico (LPD) DFS endorses lepidolite as a low cost source of lithium hydroxide (see slide 14)
-
In 2019 LPD acquired Desert Lion Energy Inc. (DLI) for ~A$21m
-
i. DLI held 80% of the Karibib lepidolite project in Namibia, valuing the project at ~A$27 million
Downstream opportunities:
- Pan Asia Metals is the only lithium explorer positioned to build lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide manufacturing capacity in Southeast Asia

For each technical study in which it is stated that revenue is being generated from by-products, the total value of those by-products have been converted to an LCE equivalent (in tonnes) using the following methodology: Step 1 - The by-product value is by-product tonnage multiplied by assumed market price for that by-product; Step 2 - Where a technical study is for the production of lithium hydroxide the volume of lithium hydroxide is converted to an LCE by dividing the tonnes produced by 0.88; Step 3 - The product of Step 1 is divided by the stated expected market price for lithium carbonate. The commodities and respective prices used in the calculation are: Li2CO3 (US$12,029\t); LiF (US$17,201\t); LiOH (US$13,669\t); Amorphous Silica (US$100\t); CHCsO2 (US$38,600\t); Feldspar (US$75\t); Gypsum (US$4\t); H3BO3 (US$ 710\t); K2SO4 (US$540\t); Mica US$50\t); Rb2SO4 (US$13,600\t); Sn (US$16,960\t); Quartz (US$100\t). Grades and metallurgical recovery of each ‘metal’ are taken into account by the technical study.
