ASSAYS CONFIRM LITHIUM MINERALISATION EXTENDS OVER >6KM OF STRIKE

SYSTEM REMAINS OPEN, CONFIRMING GROWTH POTENTIAL OF THE MARBLE BAR LITHIUM PROJECT (MBLP)

Key Highlights:

  • Assay results from recent RC drilling highlight multiple drillholes intersecting lithium mineralisation within and along strike from the existing Archer deposit, with significant lithium anomalism detected in isolated scout holes.
  • Lithium mineralisation has now been identified over a 6km strike length, indicating strong potential for a large and fertile lithium bearing pegmatite system.
  • Lithium mineralisation remains open along strike to the north, south, east and at depth.
  • Results include the widest mineralised interval intersected to date in MBRC0135, drilled outside the Archer mineral resource envelope, which returned exceptional results including:
  • — 28m @ 1.51% Li2O and 46ppm Ta2O5 from 69m (down hole length, true width not known, see Figure 2), and
  • — 9m @ 1.11% Li2O and 42ppm Ta2O5 from 108m (down hole length, true width not known, see Figure 2)
  • Other significant lithium assays include:
  • — 8m @ 1.47% Li2O and 49ppm Ta2O5 from 61m in MBRC0128
  • — 5m @ 0.90% Li2O and 57ppm Ta2O5 from 85m in MBRC0128
  • — 7m @ 1.24% Li2O and 76ppm Ta2O5 from 30m in MBRC0136
  • — 5m @ 1.26% Li2O and 91ppm Ta2O5 from 139m in MBRC0127
  • — 6m @ 0.98% Li2O and 62ppm Ta2O5 from 134m in MBRC0134
  • Rock chip samples from outcropping spodumene bearing pegmatites on the border of recently acquired tenement E45/4724 have returned assay results of up to 4.7% Li2O (RP50696), indicating potential for lithium mineralisation to extend further south into this new tenement.
  • Significant tantalum (Ta) assay results from the recent RC drilling also being reviewed as part of the next stage of targeting and mineral resource development, with intercepts including:
  • — 2m @ 2,394ppm Ta2O5 from 36m in MBRC0148
  • — 7m @ 174ppm Ta2O5 from 9m in MBRC0147
  • — 7m @ 143ppm Ta2O5 from 108m in MBRC0126

• Planning is already underway for the follow up exploration programs, including a further RC drilling program anticipated to commence in CYQ4.

Growing lithium explorer, Global Lithium Resources Limited (ASX: GL1, Global Lithium or the Company) is pleased to report that all lithium assays from its recently completed RC drilling program at the Company's wholly owned MBLP, located 150km southeast of Port Hedland, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia have been returned. Two RC holes were also drilled for gold in the northern part of the project area, for which assays are still pending.

Global Lithium Managing Director Jamie Wright said, "Our maiden RC drilling program as a listed company has delivered some excellent results, providing us with a fantastic foundation to build on as we progress into our next phase exploration programs, which planning for is already well underway.

Our strategy of stepping out from Archer to test the broader area has given us confidence that mineralisation at the MBLP continues to extend beyond Archer and has now been traced for over 6km in a north-to-south strike direction, and remains open, including to the east and potentially into our newly acquired tenements.

It is an exciting time for the Company to be discovering new lithium prospects and expanding its landholding within a global economy that is seeing lithium supply shortages as car manufacturers ramp up production of electric vehicles.

We have commenced targeting, planning and approvals processes for our proposed CY4Q RC drilling campaign."

A total of 34 RC holes were drilled for 5,208m at the MBLP on E45/4309, and two holes were drilled for 246m on E45/4361 to test gold targets in the north. Assays have now been received for all lithium targeted holes on E45/4309, while the Company awaits assay results for gold samples which are being processed at a laboratory in Perth.

The key objectives of this recent RC drilling program were to undertake step-out drilling to identify opportunities to further grow the existing JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 10.5Mt @ 1.0% Li2O1 at the Archer Deposit and to commence exploration in the surrounding target areas.

The Company is pleased to report that the program has significantly extended the known strike length of known lithium mineralisation at Archer and its surrounds. A number of RC holes and surface rock chip samples recording lithium mineralisation and anomalism, with associated anomalous tantalum, provides further evidence that the MBLP is continuing to emerge as a significant spodumene lithium deposit in a premier hard rock lithium mining jurisdiction (Figure 1 and Table 2).

1 Information on historical exploration results and Mineral Resources presented in this Announcement, together with JORC Table 1 information, is contained in the Independent Geologists Report within the Company's Prospectus dated 22 March 2021, which was released as an announcement on 4 May 2021.

Figure 1: Map showing select RC drilling intercepts at the main Archer deposit at the MBLP, based on a lower cut-off grade of 0.4% Li2O.

Lithium mineralisation has now been encountered over strike length of more than 6km in an approximate north-south direction within the greenstone belt and its contact with granite-gneiss to the east, with further outcropping pegmatite dykes identified to contain spodumene crystals for follow up exploration work.

The Marble Bar Road reserve

Drillhole MBRC0135 was drilled at an oblique angle to test whether a previously identified spodumene pegmatite dyke extends below the Marble Bar Road reserve in an area where there has been insufficient drilling to connect the Mineral Resource (Figure 1 and cross section at Figure 2) and follow the mineralised dykes further to the east. RC hole MBRC0135 returned the following intercepts:

  • 28m @ 1.51% Li2O and 46ppm Ta2O5 from 69m (downhole length, true width not known, Figure 2);
  • 3m @ 0.72% Li2O and 44ppm Ta2O5 from 100m (downhole length, true width not known, Figure 2); and
  • 9m @ 1.11% Li2O and 42ppm Ta2O5 from 108m (downhole length, true width not known, Figure 2).

Although true width is not known, the intersections indicate that the pegmatite may increase in thickness at depth in this location, and additional dykes may occur to the east of the road. A Program of Works (PoW) application to drill inside of the road reserve at a safe distance from the highway has been recently approved.

In the north-eastern portion of the Archer Deposit (refer to Figure 1), mapping has traced a newly identified pegmatite dyke for over 350m, extending to the northeast across the road reserve, including identifying spodumene in pegmatite outcrop. Rock chips from this pegmatite returned:

  • 3.81% Li2O in RP50688; and
  • 1.70% Li2O in RP50690.

Figure 2: Cross section showing MBRC0135 drilled towards the eastern side of the road reserve to follow a mineralised pegmatite dyke.

Infill drilling within the Archer Deposit itself has successfully demonstrated that pegmatites link between previous wide spaced drill lines. Certain drill lines in the north-west of the Archer Deposit require further review in order to more fully understand the nature of the lithium deposit in this area and how lithium grade is distributed with the pegmatite dykes.

Lithium mineralisation now extended to more than 6km in strike length

Scout drilling using with spaced and isolated RC holes to the south of the Archer Deposit has resulted in the discovery of further spodumene hosted lithium in pegmatite dykes (Figure 3), significantly extending the known strike length of the broader mineralised system. Assays from some of these RC holes include:

  • 3m @ 1.55% Li2O and 98ppm Ta2O5 from 17m in MBRC0153;
  • 2m @ 0.95% Li2O and 60ppm Ta2O5 from 4m in MBRC0152; and
  • 3m @ 0.66% Li2O and 89ppm Ta2O5 from 14m in MBRC0152.

The southern area was identified through surface mapping and observation of pegmatite in road spoil over a relatively large area. The Company considers this location to be highly prospective, having not been previously tested by drilling, and it remains open for further discoveries.

Immediately following completion of the RC drilling program, further spodumene bearing pegmatite outcrop was identified over 1km to the south of this new discovery zone, with rock chip samples returning:

  • 4.73% Li2O in RP50696; and
  • 3.98% Li2O in RP50700.

This newly identified outcrop area remains undrilled and will form part of the next phase of exploration mapping and drilling.

Lithium mineralisation at Archer now extends over 6km in north-south strike length and remains open (Figure 3). There is potential that the pegmatite dykes swarm extends further south into recently acquired tenement E45/4724, as well as to the east and north of Archer.

Given this recent exploration success, the Company is planning a follow up RC drilling program in the area and is undertaking targeting studies and field mapping to identify further similar opportunities in the broader Archer area, and this broader area is scheduled for land access approvals in the current Quarter.

Figure 3: RC drilling and rock chip sampling has extended the broad zone of lithium mineralisation, which remains open in several directions.

Given the positive outcome to date of mapping and visual tracing of pegmatites at surface, the Company has recently completed detailed high resolution drone photography and digital elevation mapping to help quickly identify outcropping pegmatite dykes for field checking and planning follow-up RC drilling.

Brockman Zone remains highly prospective

The Company also drilled three scout RC holes on the eastern side of the Brockman Zone as part of its early-stage testing of this emerging target area. Drillholes were planned in an area of transported overburden with no outcropping pegmatite dykes, and targeted a large fault interpreted from aeromagnetic imagery. These scout RC holes returned highly anomalous lithium and tantalum values across multiple pegmatite dyke intercepts, significantly increasing the prospectivity of this target zone.

Assays include:

• 9m @ 0.21% Li2O and 18ppm Ta2O5 from 20m in MBRC0131.

This scout RC drilling was constrained by land access in certain areas. The Company plans to advance further land access approvals during the current Quarter and is excited by the prospect of undertaking further greenfield exploration in the Brockman Zone.

Tantalum Intercepts

Drilling within the southern area of Archer intersected highly anomalous tantalum. Along with lithium, tantalum is a critical mineral and has the potential to become an important component of the MBLP, as it has in neighbouring projects such as Pilgangoora (owned by Pilbara Minerals Limited, ASX:PLS).

Tantalum intercepts from the recent RC drilling program include:

  • 2m @ 2,394ppm Ta2O5 from 36m in MBRC0148;
  • 7m @ 174ppm Ta2O5 from 9m in MBRC0147; and
  • 7m @ 143ppm Ta2O5 from 108m in MBRC0126

Given the focus on lithium at the MBLP to date, the Company intends to re-examine tantalum distribution across the project area to investigate its ability to be considered separately to lithium, as well as the opportunity to use it as a pathfinder element for lithium pegmatite targeting.

Next steps

This RC drilling program was successful in demonstrating that the Archer Deposit extends materially beyond our initial expectations.

The assay results are still being assessed with respect to their significance on the overall project and will feed into a targeting study which is underway and will be used to help plan the next RC drilling campaign anticipated to commence in CYQ4, subject to receipt of necessary land access approvals.

The MBLP is situated close to major road infrastructure, with direct links into Port Hedland, where bulk commodities, including spodumene concentrate, are currently being exported (Figure 4). The MBLP is also located approximately 15km from the town of Marble Bar, which provides ready access to services and skills.

Global Lithium is well funded with a cash balance of \$8.6 million as at 30 June 2021.

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.

Reverse circulation (RC) drilling was used as the primary drilling
type.

RC cuttings were continuously sampled at 1 m intervals through
all pegmatite intercepts including at least 2 m of host rocks above
and below each intercept.

Drill samples were logged for recovery, moisture, lithology (+ %),
mineralogy (+ %), weathering, grainsize.

RC samples were collected from the drill rig cyclone using a cone
splitter in numbered calico bags,
which were then placed

sealed polywaeve bags, and then into sealed bulka‐bags for
transport to the assay laboratory
in Perth.

Drill samples were
crushed and riffle split to 2 to 2.5 kg for
pulverising to 80% passing 75 microns. Prepared samples were
fused with sodium peroxide and digested in dilute hydrochloric
acid. The resultant solution was
analysed using
ICP by Jinning
Testing and Inspection Laboratory in Perth.

The assay technique is considered to be robust as the method
used offers total dissolution of the sample and is useful for
mineral matrices that may resist acid digestions.

Rock Chip samples of 1-2kg were collected by Resource
Potentials staff and submitted for analysis utilising the same
assay techniques as RC drill samples. Rock chips are random,
subject to bias and often unrepresentative for the typical widths
required for economic consideration. They are by nature difficult
to duplicate with any acceptable form of precision or accuracy.

Rock Chip
samples
were collected with the aim of identifying
prospective Li bearing pegmatite trends for future drill testing.

Mineral exploration over the Marble Bar project area has been
undertaken for a number of commodities,
including gold, base
metals, diamonds, tin and tantalum by various companies since
the 1960s.

Cominco Exploration Pty Ltd (Cominco) explored the area for
Witwatersrand style gold and uranium mineralisation during the
late 1960s. Poor drilling results led Cominco to surrender the
ground.

Endeavour
Resources
Limited
(Endeavour)
undertook
exploration for alluvial, eluvial, deep lead and pegmatite hosted
tin-tantalum mineralisation in the area between 1965 and 1985.

Haoma Mining NL and joint venture partner De Beers explored
the area for diamonds during the late 1990s to early 2000s.

Montezuma Mining Company Limited (Montezuma) held the

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
licences covering the current Marble Bar project area in 2006.
Work by Montezuma included a small rock chip sampling
program and the collection and assaying of over 2,000 soil
geochemical samples. Montezuma defined some discrete >80
ppb gold anomalies in the northeast portion of E45/4309.

Lithex Resources Limited (Lithex) acquired the Project area in
August 2010 and completed a geological mapping and rock chip
sampling program, which was then followed up by auger
sampling program and later a reverse circulation (RC) drilling
program over the area of the Moolyella Tin Field to the
southeast of the project
area.
Lithex relinquished the
tenements in 2013.

In 2017, BCI Minerals Limited (BCIM) conducted a series of
exploration programs within the Marble Bar project area, initially
completing gold exploration activities in the northern region of
the tenements. Detailed geological mapping, rock chip and soil
sampling
programs
were
completed
which
identified
prospective gold bearing trends with a total strike length of 22
km exhibiting rock chip assay results of greater than 3 g/t gold.
This work led to a small and shallow, 11 hole RC drilling
program (for 796 m) in early 2018 which provided encouraging
results.

BCIM also completed preliminary lithium exploration work
during early to mid-2018. Initial and extensive soil geochemical
sampling was conducted by BCIM at 400 m by 100 m spacing
over the southern extents of tenement E45/4309, targeting an
area immediately northwest of the Moolyella Monzogranite.
Further infill soil sampling at 100 m by 100 m was then
completed.

The geochemical sampling programs identified the Archer
Deposit area, leading to further geological mapping which
identified
multiple
outcroppings
of
spodumene-bearing
pegmatites with a general north-south strike orientation. A
program consisting of 21 shallow RC drill holes (MBRC0012 to
MBRC0032) was then conducted in late 2018 along four drill
lines totalling 474 m. These drill lines targeted the geologically
mapped spodumene-bearing pegmatites.

Lithium Limited (GL1) in 2019

After acquiring the project in 2019, GL1 has completed several
RC drilling campaigns resulting in the declaration of Mineral
Resources.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The project lies in a pegmatite field hosted in the North Star
Basalt and Jenkins Granodiorite. The prospective area for LCT
pegmatites has been traced over a >20km2 area.

Within this area, the Company has discovered the Archer
deposit, comprising a series of shallow dipping pegmatite
bodies with lithium mineralisation predominantly by way of
spodumene
hosted pegmatites.

These pegmatites have been the focus of exploration by the
Company.

The MBLP pegmatites have intruded the greenstone belt North
Star Basalt,
which lies between the Homeward Bound Granite
and Jenkins Granodiorite. The source fluids are generally
accepted to have come from the Split Rock Supersuite granites
located to the southeast of the project area, locally referred to
as the Moolyella Granite, and which probably extends
beneath
the project area itself.
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.

Refer Drilling Table 1 above.

RL is poorly constrained by hand-held GPS and will be updated
to a DGPS system accurate to within <10cm once the survey is
complete, and hole collars will be draped onto a high resolution
digital elevation model computed from orthophotography using
a drone survey method.

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 clearly stated.

No cutting to intercept grades has been undertaken.

No aggregation of samples undertaken.

Assays are reported as pure elements such as Li, Ta, Nb and
Sn,
and converted to oxides using atomic formulas.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
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').

All drilling is angled.

The lithium bearing pegmatites identified to date are
generally moderately dipping (30° to 50°) eastwards in
nature. The true width of pegmatites is generally 80% to
90% of the intercept width, with minimal opportunity for
sample bias.

The exception is MBRC0135, which was drilled obliquely to
the interpreted dip of the pegmatite, to test an area
constrained by access due to the Marble Bar Road.
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 the Table and Figures in the 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.
