ASX Announcement 1 March 2019

Bass Metals completes maiden drilling and soil sampling program over Madagascan lithium prospects

Bass Metals Limited (ASX: BSM) (the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration activities at its 100% wholly owned Millie’s Reward lithium project, located in Madagascar.

MILLIE’S WEST PROSPECT

A maiden scout drilling program consisting of five shallow diamond drill holes was recently completed at the Millie’s West prospect, one of eight high priority prospects within the Millie’s Reward project area. These holes were the first to be drilled within the project area and aimed to identify the depth and width of the pegmatites surrounding the underground workings at Millie’s West.

Previous channel sampling of underground workings in the area returned a weighted average intersection of 3.72% Lithium Oxide (Li2O) over 31m, with a maximum 1m result yielding 6.61% Li2O[1] , indicating Millie’s West as a highly attractive prospect for exploration.

A total of ~341 metres were drilled over a short strike length of only 50 metres to a maximum depth of 100 metres. The drilling confirmed the presence of pegmatites with low levels of lithium-in-spodumene (ppm) returned by assay.

The pegmatites and their complex structural nature lead to difficult drilling conditions and subsequent re-drilling of some holes was undertaken, delaying

the completion of the program and subsequent exporting of samples to Australia for analysis.

In parallel with drilling, further underground channel samples were taken and returned weighted average intersections of 2.59% Lithium Oxide (Li2O) over 14.0m and 1.55% Li2O over 11.0m, with a maximum 1m result yielding 5.17% Li2O.

Soil sampling was also completed with 472 samples analysed using a pXRF. The soil geochemical survey program resulted in anomalous lithium values of up to 849ppm Lithium (Li) along with 143ppm Caesium (CS), 65ppm Gallium (Ga),

116ppm Niobium (Nb) and 510ppm Rubidium (Rb) identifying at least three significant anomalies not previously discovered. Two of these anomalous zones are immediately north-east of the scout drilling area, and an additional anomalous zone is located to the south, across the valley, where more historical artisanal workings are present.

The significant information gained from drilling, underground channel sampling and soil sampling across the prospect has provided insight into the structural conditions of the western flank of the Millie’s Reward pegmatite field and significantly adds to understanding of the structural deformation and typical LCT zonation within the previously unexplored project area.

ILAPA PROSPECT

Soil sampling was completed at the Ilapa prospect with 240 samples analysed using a pXRF. The soil geochemical survey program identified anomalous Li values up to 1477ppm Li, 211ppm Cs, 58ppm Ga, 84ppm Nb and 893ppm Rb.

These soil sample results identified at least four Li anomalies, which coincide with artisanal pegmatite workings. Six composite rock-chip samples were collected from lithium-bearing pegmatite host rock outcrops resulting in values up to 3.58% Li2O, 3018ppm Cs, 193 ppm Nb, 11372 Rb and 194 ppm Ta.

MANJAKA PROSPECT

11 composite rock-chip samples were taken at the Manjaka Prospect from outcropping pegmatites, with assays returning up to 4.54% Li2O, 994ppm Cs, 106ppm Ta, 149ppm Nb, 3380ppm Rb and 2500ppm Be.

In addition, the Company completed 370m of orientation soil sampling with 35 samples collected consisting of 4 sizing fractions at each location in Manjaka resulting in anomalous Li values of up to 1050 ppm (+ 2mm), 960 ppm (-2mm to +180µm), 1120 ppm (-180µm to +75µm) and 1280 ppm (-75µm).

These results from soil samples at Manjaka identified zones of anomalous Li values coinciding with artisanal workings.

OTHER MILLIE’S REWARD PROSPECTS

Several other prospects were explored during recent field activities, including the Marirano Prospect, with three rock-chip samples returning results of up to 7.19% Li2O, 1060 ppm Cs and 2500 ppm Be.

In addition, 16 rock-chip samples of outcropping pegmatite at Tsarafara returned up to 6.33% Li2O, 5804 ppm Cs, 234 ppm Nb, 7626 ppm Rb and 132 ppm Ta. And one rock-chip sample at the Vohidahi pegmatite returned up to 0.88% Li2O, 1020 ppm Cs and 2089 ppm Rb.

MR TIM MCMANUS CEO:

“The team continues to develop its understanding of the prospectivity of the Lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites in the region.

As a virgin discovery, we deliberately planned a small number of metres for the maiden scout drilling program so we could better understand the geology of the area before committing capital for a larger drilling program.

This proved to be a prudent step, as drilling conditions, geological structure and grade over the 50-metre strike length did not make our efforts easy. We understood that we would be working on the boundary of the pegmatite field and that the structural deformation and typical LCT zonation would be intriguing. The information gathered has proven to be valuable in ensuring shareholders get the best returns from future funds invested in the project.”

APPENDIX 2 – JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1

Discussion and results within this appendix relate to the Bass Metals Ltd – Millie’s Reward Lithium Project, Madagascar Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sounds, 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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Diamond drilling was used to obtain NTW size core, with the core split (either
manually hand split or sawn using a circular saw) 50:50 to collect samples in
maximum 1-metre intervals. Samples were taken along the depth intervals and
lithological sub-division mark-ups to gather representative samples. Samples were
collected within pegmatites, lithium-bearing pegmatites and host rocks. A total of
5 diamond holes were completed and 341.67 metres were drilled.
Orientation soil samples were collected on surface across two known lithium-
bearing pegmatite prospects. Samples were collected by manual augering
(average depth of 45 cm) on 20m and 10m spacing across barren zones and 5m
spacing across known lithium-bearing zones. The samples comprised sieved soils
for four fractions, + 2mm, -2mm to +180µm, -180µm to +75µm and -75µm.
Rock-chip samples were collected on surface and included in-situ composite and
grab samples of pegmatites, lithium-bearing pegmatites and host rocks.
Channel samples were collected in underground tunnel workings and included in-
situ composite samples of pegmatites and lithium-bearing pegmatites in the roof
and wall of the workings on 1 meter intervals.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if
so, by what method, etc.).
Conventional wireline diamond drilling was used to obtain all drill core and drilling
was undertaken with an EP200 hand portable drilling rig. The nominal core
diameter was 56.2 mm. Coring was completed with appropriate diamond
impregnated tungsten carbide drilling bits. Drill runs were completed employing
1.0 m NTW core barrel.
Drill holes were inclined at 50° or 60 °, direction 130° or vertical at 90°.
The core was not orientated as the material recovered was predominantly saprolitic
and the fresh core was too broken.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of
the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
At the completion of each drill run the core was retrieved from the core tube. Core
was then carefully transferred from the core barrel into the core trays for recovery
measurements and calculations recorded by both the driller and the Project
geologist.
Drill hole BSMD003 was re-drilled due to poor core recovery and/or core loss within
pegmatite zones. An overall core recovery of 78 % was achieved for all sampled
core. Core recovery was problematic within the saprolitic material and the more
coarse grained pegmatites. There is no known relationship that exists between
sample recovery and grade at this time.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged
to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining
studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel,
Diamond drill core, soil, and rock-chip samples were geologically logged and
geological recording of relevant data was captured on Bass Metals logging
templates. All data was codified to a set company codes system as per sampling
and logging procedures, which are in place.
All logging included lithology, minerals, weathering, colour, grain size, texture,
etc.) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
fabric etc., which is quantitative and is recorded on the logging sheets.
All drill core was photographed prior to geological logging and after sampling and
images were digitally catalogued. Photographs have been taken as a qualitative
check on logging when the need arises.
All drill core intersections (100%) were logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled
wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material
collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
The NTW core was manually hand split or sawn to produce half core (50:50)
samples. All equipment was cleaned according to best practice procedures prior
to cutting and sampling.
Appropriate and documented techniques were used to collect samples in maximum
1-metre intervals. Samples were taken along the depth intervals and lithological
sub-division mark-ups to gather representative samples. All pegmatites were
sampled plus up to 3 m contiguous host rock.
The soil samples were sun dried in the field, and four fractions were sieved, +
2mm, -2mm to +180µm, -180µm to +75µm and -75µm. The sieved samples of
approx. 100g were packed in Kraft envelopes and sent to a laboratory in
Antananarivo (Madagascar) for preparation. Samples were then pulverising that
85% pass -75µm.
The drill core. rock-chip and channel samples were bagged and sent to a laboratory
in Antananarivo (Madagascar) for preparation. Samples were oven dried, manually
crushed to minus 2mm, split twice through a 50/50 riffle splitter to obtain a
representative sub-sample, weighing approx. 100g, and then pulverise that 85%
pass -75µm.
Sample sizes are practical and appropriate for the grain size of the material being
sampled.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the
parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
The pulp samples were sent to independent laboratories either SGS - Randfontein
in South Africa or INTERTEK - Perth in Australia for multi element analysis by aqua
regia partial digestion with final analysis by inductively coupled atomic emission
spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the soil samples and
for multi element analysis by sodium peroxide fusion with final analysis by
inductively
coupled
atomic
emission
spectroscopy
(ICP-AES)
and
mass
spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the drill core, rock-chip and channel samples.
Other elements beyond Li that were analysed for included Be, Cs, Ga, Nb, Rb, Sn,
Ta, Tl (pathfinder elements) and Ca, K, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, V, As,
Sr, Mo, Pb, Bi.
Certified lithium standards (GTA-01, GTA-03 and GTA-04), silica blanks
(AMIS0305) and duplicates (a second sample of the same interval) were inserted
with the dispatch of the samples to the independent laboratories SGS - Randfontein
in South Africa and INTERTEK - Perth in Australia. The insertion rate of
standards/blanks were 1 in 20, and duplicates were 2 in 100.
SGS Randfontein and INTERTKEK Perth laboratories will inserted check samples
(blanks, standards and duplicates) to maintain QAQC standards.
All in-house and laboratory standards, blanks and duplicates results were
reviewed. Performance of the primary laboratory across all assay batches were
within acceptable tolerance levels.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
All work was completed by Vato Consulting personnel.
No twinned holes were drilled as this was the first phase of drilling.
All data was collected initially on paper log sheets in the field. This data was hand
entered into spreadsheets and validated by the Principal Geologist. All paper log
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

sheets were scanned, and electronic spreadsheets stored together with the
photographs of the geological features logged.
The master collar, lithology; geotechnical and assay database with all photographs
are backed-up and stored on an external hard drive.
Metallic Lithium parts per million was converted to percentage and then multiplied
by a conversion factor of 2.153 to report Li2O for drill core, rock-chip and channel
samples.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Hand-held Garmin GPS’s were used to locate collar locations, and interim location
coordinates were completed taking average readings up to 5 minutes and with
estimated positional errors between 1 and 3 meters.
The WGS84 UTM Zone 38S projection system is used at the Millie’s Reward Lithium
Project.
Topographical control is considered sufficient for the stage of exploration.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore
Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Diamond drill holes were spaced approx. 15-20 m apart and with hole inclination
and strike aligned perpendicular to the estimated pegmatite and host rock
orientations.
Orientation soil samples lines were across known lithium-bearing pegmatite
prospects with sample spacing of 20m, 10m and 5m.
Rock-chip and channel samples were collected across lithium prospects.
The data is not appropriate for use in estimating a Mineral Resource and is not
intended for such use. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral
Resource.
No sample compositing has been applied, other than the weighted average
calculation of mineralised intercepts in the diamond drill core and underground
tunnel workings.
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should
be assessed and reported if material.
Drill holes were drilled to test continuation of pegmatite bodies within the marble
and schist host rock and to get a better understanding of the geometry and
mineralisation of the pegmatites.
Orientation soil samples lines were approximately 90 degrees to the strike of
pegmatite and lithological contacts.
No sampling bias is believed to have been introduced.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were stored in a secure storage area at the Bass Metals filed camp.
Samples bags and/or Kraft envelopes were sealed as soon as sub-sampling was
completed, and stored securely until dispatch to the laboratories in South Africa
and Australia via courier.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. No audits of the sampling techniques and data was carried out due to the early
stage of exploration
It is considered that industry best practice methods have been implemented by
the company at all stages of exploration.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements
or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships,
overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or
national park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a license to operate in the area.
Permit no’s 4383 and 11545 are in the process of being transferred as per the
sales agreement, from the vendor to LIMADA SARL which is the wholly owned
subsidiary of the ASX listed company, Bass Metals Ltd.
For Permit no 39808 Bass Metals Ltd has secured the lithium mining rights with
Malagasy company, Ruby-Red Madagascar SARL.
Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. In 2012, Ruby-Red Madagascar sampled the historical lithium-bearing
pegmatites and collected 8 in-situ rock-chip samples. Results varied between
1.20% and 6.86% Li2O (averaging 3.72% Li2O).
In 2017, Vato Consulting sampled the historical lithium-bearing pegmatites and
collected 14 in-situ rock-chip samples. Results varied between 0.03% and
7.08% Li2O (averaging 1.77% Li2O).
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The project occurs within the Itremo Sub-Domain and is characterised by a
group of stratified rocks composed of very pure quartzite, mature metashale
and dolomitic marble. The Itremo rocks are intruded by and tectonically
interleaved with the Imorona-Itsindro and Ambalavao Suites. The Imorona-
Itsindro intrusions vary in composition from gabbros, monzonites, syenites,
sub- alkaline and alkaline granites and that of Ambalavao is mainly granitic in
composition.
In Madagascar, lithium-bearing pegmatites were historically classified as
“sodalithic pegmatites” in view of their high content of sodic feldspar (albite), in
comparison with lithium depleted pegmatites which are rich in potassic feldspar
(microcline).
In Madagascar, lithium-bearing minerals include Lepidolite (lithium mica) and
Spodumene (lithium silicate).
In Madagascar, lithium-bearing pegmatites occur as dikes and sills up to 10-
50m in thickness and up to several hundred metres in length.
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:
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the
drill hole collar
dip and azimuth of the hole
down hole length and interception depth
Drill 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.
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of specific data is supplied in Appendix 1 in the
announcement.
No Mineral Resource has been estimated over the deposit as yet.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum
and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off
Drill core and channel samples from the underground tunnel workings through
the mineralised pegmatite has been reported on a length weighted basis over
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.
the mineralised intersection.
No data aggregate done.
Metallic Lithium parts per million was converted to percentage and then
multiplied by a conversion factor of 2.153 to report Li2O for drill core, rock-chip
and channel samples.
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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
The aim of the drilling program was to test the continuation of pegmatite bodies
within the marble and schist host rock and to get a better understanding of the
geometry and mineralisation of the pegmatites. Several pegmatite bodies are
stacked within the marble and schist host rocks with dips at between 45° and
70°.
The orientation soil sample and rock-chip sample results reported here were
collected from surface, any potential depths of mineralisation or orientations
can only be inferred from geological observations on the surface and hence are
speculative in nature.
The channel sample results reported here were collected from a section of the
underground tunnel workings along strike and depth of the pegmatite, and the
width of mineralisation of the pegmatite body was not confirmed.
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.
See diagrams in the announcement and it contains all relevant information
required for the reader to understand the scale, orientation and nature of the
project.
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 avoiding misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
The summary table of all the samples are contained within Appendix 1 of the
announcement and the full data has been reported.
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.
Not applicable.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. 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.
Additional detailed geological mapping, and soil sampling programs are
recommended to qualify and quantify the anomalous areas in greater detail
prior to additional drill testing.
