Quarter Highlights

  • In late September 2021, a new 10,000m RC drilling program commenced at the Marble Bar Lithium Project (MBLP) to further test for lithium mineralisation

  • Experienced Pilbara lithium Geologist Bryan Bourke appointed to lead exploration at the MBLP.

  • Assay results[1] from the 5,454m RC drilling program undertaken in Q2 confirmed lithium mineralisation extends over >6km of strike, including MBRC0135, which was drilled outside the Archer mineral resource envelope , and returned exceptional results including:

  • 28m @ 1.51% Li2O and 46ppm Ta2O5 from 69m (down hole length, true width not known), and

  • 9m @ 1.11% Li2O and 42ppm Ta2O5 from 108m (down hole length, true width not known)

  • First diamond drilling program completed with occurrences of spodumene observed within pegmatite. Preliminary metallurgical test work commenced.

  • Completed acquisition of lithium tenements E45/4669 and E45/4724 to the immediate south of existing tenements, almost doubling the size of the MBLP project landholding.

  • Gold potential demonstrated at the Twin Veins prospect where MBRC0157 intersected[2] :

  • 12m @ 2.95g/t from 37m; including

3m @ 9.9g/t.

  • 3m @ 1.1g/t from 81m

  • Heritage engagement and clearance ongoing.

  • As at 30 September 2021, Cash balance of $7.3m.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ( ASX: GL1 , “ Global Lithium ” or the Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities for the September 2021 quarter.

Global Lithium Managing Director, Jamie Wright said,

“We continued our exploration momentum through the September quarter, completing valuable targeting work and commencing our next 10,000m RC drilling program – our third drilling program in four months.

Our team is excited by the results of the targeting program and are currently on site as part of this new drilling campaign.

By completing the acquisition of E45/4669 and E45/4724 we are in an envious position with respect to our exploration activities, with an opportunity to now apply the learnings gained at the Archer deposit to these large new tenements.

Looking ahead, we see a busy time through to next year as we continue drilling our lithium and gold targets, start to explore our newly acquired tenements, receive assays as well as continuing to review potential growth opportunities.”

CY4Q Exploration Program commenced[3]

On 22 September 2021, Global Lithium announced it had commenced its CY4Q Exploration Program, which includes approximately 10,000m of planned RC drilling to follow up on new and existing lithium targets, as well as follow up drilling at the Twin Veins gold prospect. The program also includes field work and collection of soils samples in the newly acquired tenements to the south of the Archer deposit.

Targeting work leading into the program has identified more than 100 pegmatite trends for the Company to inspect and explore.

Heritage Update

As part of the ongoing heritage engagement at MBLP, the Company is discussing protection measures for the Two Sisters hills located in the vicinity of the Archer deposit and the Brockman Creek located in the east of the project area. The Company’s CY4Q Exploration Program is focused outside these areas.

The Company recognises that the Nyamal are key stakeholders to the MBLP and we look forward to continuing to build on our ongoing relationship as we progress discussions in a positive manner.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company has confirmed that a Heritage Information Submission Form has been lodged with the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage ( DPLH ) in relation to the Two Sisters hills for the purposes of WA’s Aboriginal Heritage Act[4] . At this stage of the process, there is no change to the Company’s stated JORC Inferred Mineral Resources and the heritage processes have no impact on the Company’s planned exploration programs in the near term.

Experienced Exploration Manager appointed[5]

Former Altura Mining Limited Exploration Manager Bryan Bourke was appointed to lead exploration at the MBLP. Mr Bourke is a highly credentialed geologist with more than 30 years’ experience in a number of commodities and geological settings. Notably, Bryan was Exploration Manager at Altura Mining Limited between 2010-2017, where he initiated exploration for lithium bearing pegmatites at Altura’s Pilgangoora Project. The company welcomes Bryan to the GL1 team.

Assays confirm lithium mineralisation extends over >6km of strike[6]

Assay results from the CYQ2 RC drilling program highlighted 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. The system remains open, confirming growth potential of the MBLP.

Diamond Drilling program completed[7]

In July 2021, a diamond drilling program was completed at the MBLP, with occurrences of spodumene observed within pegmatite aligned with known lithium mineralisation recorded in nearby twinned RC drillholes.

Core from the diamond drilling program will provide valuable insight for future exploration programs. Preliminary metallurgical test work is underway.

Completed strategic acquisition of Pilbara lithium tenements[8]

The MBLP was expanded with the completion of the acquisition of tenements E45/4274 and E45/4669 located immediately south of the Company’s Archer deposit. This acquisition of this highly prospective land with previously identified lithium bearing pegmatite swarm within 15kms of GL1’s Archer deposit almost doubled the size of the project landholding.

12m @ 2.95g/t gold intercepted at Twin Veins prospect[9]

RC drillholes targeting gold mineralisation on the Company’s underexplored Twin Veins prospect on E45/4631 returned assays of 12m @ 2.95g/t from 37m; including 3m @ 9.91g/t from 40m, and 3m @ 1.10g/t from 81m. Twin Veins is a >1km long soil and rock chip geochemical anomaly coinciding with quartz vein outcrops.

Further gold exploration holes are planned during the CY4Q Exploration Program to follow up initial successful results.
