  • Lanthanein has entered into farm-in agreement to earn up to 70% of the Lady Grey Lithium-Tantalum Project, ~365km east of Perth

  • Highly prospective LCT pegmatite project 400m west of Earl Grey Lithium Mine

  • Experienced Board in lithium exploration including Brian Thomas, current Chairman of Azure Minerals (ASX: AZS), developer of the Andover Lithium Project

  • Granted tenure across approximately 77km² with ~18km of strike in the proven world class Forrestania Greenstone Belt host to Covalent Lithium’s (SQM & Wesfarmers) Earl Grey Mine, 189Mt @1.53% Li2O¹

  • Next steps: The Company plans to undertake project-wide evaluation of lithium hosting pegmatite potential with a drilling program planned for February-March 2024.

Lanthanein Resources Limited (ASX: LNR) (“Lanthanein” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a transaction to earn up to a 70% interest in the Lady Grey Lithium Project (“Lady Grey”) directly adjacent to Covalent Lithium’s (SQM & Wesfarmers) Earl Grey Mine, 189Mt @1.53% Li2O¹ at Mount Holland in the Forrestania Greenstone Belt.

Mr Brian Thomas, Technical Director of Lanthanein commented : “This transaction positions Lanthanein with a prospective lithium project in one of the most desired jurisdictions for lithium explorers in Western Australia. With credit to Lanthanein’s management team, the Company has managed to secure the rights to earn up to a 70% interest over ~77km[2] of prospective ground, immediately adjacent to one of the largest operating lithium mines in Western Australia. Plans for evaluation and field work will commence immediately to assess potential for lithium pegmatites and I look forward to undertaking discovery focussed drill programs earmarked for early 2024.”

Lady Grey Lithium Exploration and Project Potential

The project is located on the Southern Cross - Forrestania Greenstone Belt a proven Tier 1 lithium mining district. Neighbours are major miners / developers including Covalent Lithium (WesfarmersSQM JV) – 189Mt @ 1.5% Li2O at the Earl Grey Mine (Earl Grey pegmatite). IGO acquired WSA’s high grade nickel mines at Flying Fox & Spotted Quoll, and are exploring for lithium, and Historic Bounty gold mine that produced ~1Moz gold.

The Earl Grey pegmatite sill is exposed only in the south-western corner of the Earl Grey deposit. The sill dips gently northward, sub-horizontally under the historic Earl Grey gold mine with Covalent Lithium’s pegmatite being thickest against the western fault, thinning to stringer mineralisation along the eastern side of the deposit, indicating that the direction of injected pegmatite intrusion is most likely west to east. Rock samples from sampling program in March 2022 returned elevated Li (up to 298 ppm), Cs (up to 46 ppm), Rb (up to 1463 ppm) and Ta (up to 783 ppm), see Tables 1, 2 and Figures 3, 4.

Quartz sub-crop and float in the general area of the elevated soil and rock geochemistry may represent ‘quartz cores’ commonly present in complex zoned rare-element pegmatites, Figure 4. In conjunction to the anomalous soil geochemistry a large coherent >2km long high >0.3%K radiometric signal is present that may be structurally related to the outcropping Earl Grey pegmatite. Mapped continuation into Lanthanein tenure of the Split Rocks Unit host to the Earl Grey pegmatite with the potential for shallow flat-lying LCT pegmatites.

Interpretation and planning underway to target zones of potential pegmatite accumulation and associated lithium mineralisation.

Current priorities

  • Drilling early 2024 (February - March);

  • POW approved for 193 Aircore and 50 RC drillholes;

  • Heritage Approvals for expanded drill programs;

  • Extensive soil geochemistry program across other targets; and

  • Strong news flow expected through to late 2024.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These
examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to produce
a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.
Potential for lithium-caesium-tantalum bearing
pegmatite mineralisation.
Lady Grey Project geological setting – Covalent
Lithium’s Earl Grey pegmatite deposit is located
approximately 400m east of E77/2143 tenement
boundary and dips gently to the north along a
horizontal brittle fracture zone. The pegmatite was
injected perpendicularly across the greenstone
stratigraphic dip meaning a brittle structure has
opened up across older sub-vertical greenstone
stratigraphy and shear zones, then gap filled with a
mineralised granitic-pegmatite sill which was later
intruded across by two magnetic dolerite dykes.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material
to the understanding of the
exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill
hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception
depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
Not applicable.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
Not applicable.

clearly stated.
Relationship
between
mineralisatio
n widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
Not applicable.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
Refer to figures within this report.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
The accompanying document is a balanced
report with a suitable cautionary note.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and method
of treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
All material results are reported in this release.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
Lanthanein are currently planning further detailed
mapping/sampling programs to further assess the
potential for lithium-bearing pegmatites over its Lady
Grey Project to assist in drill planning.
