ASX Announcement

DRILLING PROGRESS REPORT SAN JORGE LITHIUM PROJECT, ARGENTINA – BRINE INTERSECTED FROM 30m

16 August 2023

Greenwing Resources Ltd ( Greenwing or the Company ) (ASX:GW1) is pleased to provide the following update on the drilling program currently being conducted at the San Jorge Lithium Project in Argentina.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drilling of hole SJDD01 is now advancing steadily, having now reached 117 m depth, after some initial delays related to high winds, resultant restricted work hours, new drill site start up and logistics issues.

  • Maiden drill hole SJDD01, the first of the initial 3 hole program, is expected to continue directly into a comprehensive resource drilling program of 12-15 holes.

  • First batch of brine samples, from the upper 100 m of the hole, have been sent for analysis.

  • Post the perforation of a circa 30m upper unit characterised by clays, sand and interspersed basalt SJDD01 has intersected gravel-size volcanic material, interbedded with thin volcanic units to the current hole depth, saturated in brine.

  • Greenwing anticipates drilling advancing at 15-20 metres per day, inclusive of brine and porosity sampling, reaching the nominal target depth of 400 m for SJDD01 early next month. Downhole geophysics will be run when the hole is completed.

  • Greenwing guides for the declaration of a maiden resource at the San Jorge Project by the end of 2023.

“Post some initial weather and logistical obstacles, we are excited to now be encountering porous units at San Jorge and are now making material progress on SJD001. Encouragingly we have taken and dispatched our first samples from San Jorge and remain on target for an initial resource this calendar year.”

DRILLING PROGRESS TO DATE

The objectives are to confirm the material hosting the brine identified in the extensive TEM geophysical survey, obtain representative brine and porosity samples.

Following commencement of drilling of SDJ001 (at site 4, Figure 4) on 29 June 2023, the Company intersected clay, sand, silt with interspersed basalt in the upper 30 m below surface, with interspersed gravelly clastic units between thin fractured volcanic units below this to the current depth of drilling.

Drilling encountered several delays due to high winds (in excess of 140km/hr) and ensuing logistical problems, including reduced work hours which have subsequently subsided.

Drilling is continuing in hole SDJ001 at circa 15m per day inclusive of downhole brine sampling.

GW1 has taken a batch of brine samples and despatched for assay.

MAIDEN DRILLING PROGRAM

The drilling program was planned around the western and northern margins of the San Jorge salar where a TEM geophysical survey confirmed the presence of brine extending away from the salar edge, westward under volcanic flows.

Three diamond holes to the bedrock depth (estimated to be around 400m) are planned, with the objective of confirming the lithium concentration and porosities and obtaining initial information about different types of host lithologies.

Camp construction was completed in June, with drilling commencing on 29 June. Post initial establishment, the Company will now be providing drilling updates at regular intervals throughout the intended program.

Positive results from the maiden drill program will justify construction of access roads onto the salar to undertake a focussed resource drilling program on a regular grid. This subsequent evaluation program is already planned as a follow up to these initial evaluation activities.

The total cost of the initial 3-hole program is estimated at US$1.5 million.

SAN JORGE LITHIUM BRINE PROJECT

Located in Catamarca Province, Argentina, within the Lithium Triangle (Figure 5) the San Jorge Project has a strong surface signature, with multiple brine samples confirming elevated lithium across the salar, with concentrations up to 285 mg/L lithium.

The San Jorge Project is located near major lithium mining and development companies including Zijin Mining, Allkem, Livent, Gangfeng, Rio Tinto, Lake Resources and Galan Lithium.

PROJECT LOCATION AND EXPLORATION LICENSES

Catamarca Province is one of three provinces in the north of Argentina that host globally significant resources of lithium, within brine beneath Salars. Extraction of lithium from brine has a lower overall carbon-footprint than from hard rock operations and is a key source of lithium for the electrical revolution, with electrification of transportation and development of large-scale battery storage to accompany renewable energy generation.

The San Jorge salar covers 2,800 hectares and consists of 15 granted exploration licenses. Greenwing is the sole owner of all mining tenure on the salar as well as 36,000 hectares of surrounding ground.

PREVIOUS TEM GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY

A Transient Electromagnetic ( TEM ) Geophysical survey consisted of 10 lines with 128 TEM stations (Figure 6) was completed in August 2022[1] .

The exploration objective of the TEM survey was to map the extent of the brine body, particularly off the salar, and to provide information on the lithologies associated with aquifers in the salar, as well as to define geological structures.

The survey successfully defined the brine body extending beneath lava flows and gravels west of the salar (Figure 6, Line 6), extending up to 2.4 km west of the salar surface. Over the salar the survey defined the presence of brine to depths of 100 to 150m, the maximum depth penetration of the survey in the highly conductive environment of the salar.

www.greenwingresources.com

Off the salar the survey has defined extension of the brine body to depths up to 500 metres. The conductivity responses are 1 ohm m or less, which is considered very positive for discovery of brine with potentially economic characteristics for lithium production. The high conductivity zone is surrounded by an extensive zone of 1 to 2 ohm m response, representing less concentrated brine, or brine in more resistive host material, such as volcanic rocks.

Figure 7 shows the conductive unit (pink to blue) extending under thin lava flows west of the Salar, with some more resistive units that probably represent lava flows (volcanic), also hosting brine. There appear to be more conductive units beneath the resistive (dry) surface lava flow, and these may be volcanic ash, Salar sediments, porous or fractured lava flows. The porous units terminate against the volcano to the south of the Salar, with brine also extending beneath sporadic volcanic units north of the Salar.

DIRECT LITHIUM EXTRACTION (DLE) ACTIVITIES

Following the completion of the initial 3 hole program the Company will be in the position to take bulk brine samples, which can be shipped to potential Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology providers, to provide more definitive information regarding lithium recoveries and potential operating costs at production scale. This will allow decision making regarding a preferred supplier for the project at the feasibility level stage, provided results are positive.

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data related San Jorge

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

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.

The pre-collars from surface were drilled using
the Tricone drilling method, and chips were
logged as collected, to 30 m below surface.

The pre-collar was then cemented in and HQ
Core drilled.

Core recovery from the HQ was carefully
measured by comparing the measured core to
the core runs and then a total recovery per
section determined.

HQ Drill core sampling was undertaken to
obtain representative samples of the
stratigraphy and sediments that host brine, for
porosity testing and evaluation of specific
yield, the brine that could be extracted.

Brine samples are being collected from single
and double packer sampling equipment as the
hole is deepened. Brine samples are used for
lithium analysis, with the lithium dissolved in the
brine hosted in pores within core samples.

Porosity samples are collected in Lexan
polycarbonate tubes during the drilling, with
cores between porosity samples (taken every
12 m) collected in triple tubes and stores in
core boxes.

Conductivity and Density measurements are
taken with a field portable High Range Hanna
multi parameter meter and floating
densiometers.

Testing of the chemical composition (including
Lithium, Potassium, Magnesium concentrations
and those of other ions) of brines are
undertaken at a local laboratory in Argentina.

Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) geophysics
was previously undertaken on the surface of
the salar and surrounding area. The Transient
Electromagnetic method (TEM) used a 200 x
200 m loop that is moved between stations
located 400 m apart on east west lines. The
lines are separated by 1000 m in the north-
south direction.

TEM has proven to be a highly applicable
technique in and around salars, as the method
avoids the surface conductivity issues
associated with resistivity methods, such as
Vertical Electrical Soundings or resistivity
profiling.

The TEM method has a lesser penetration on
the salar surface, but sees through resistive
surface sediments and volcanics to define the
extension of brine beneath these units.

Highly conductive zones of <1 ohm m are
located beneath the salar surface, continuing
to the west under volcanic flow units,
surrounded by a zone of 1-2 ohm m resistivity

Survey lines were oriented perpendicular to the
elongationof the salar.

Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg 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).

The pre-collars from surface were drilled using
the Tricone drilling method; chips were logged
as collected, to the pre-collar depth, which
was 30 m in this hole.

The pre-collar was then cemented in (isolated)
and HQ Core drilled.

Core recovery from the HQ was carefully
measured by comparing the measured core to
the core runs and then a total recovery per
section determined.

HQ Drill core sampling was undertaken to
obtain representative samples of the
stratigraphy and sedimentsthat hostbrine.
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.

Core recovery from the HQ was carefully
measured by comparing the measured core to
the core runs and then a total recovery per
section determined.

No relationship exists between core recovery
and lithium concentration, as the lithium is
present in brine, sampled independently of the
core samples. Brine is extracted using packer
sampling and the sediment material is not the
target for lithium extraction.
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, etc)
photography.

The total length and percentage
of the relevant intersections
logged.

The core is logged by a geologist. The senior
geologist supervises the taking of samples for
laboratory analysis.

Logging is both qualitative and quantitative in
nature. The relative proportions of different
lithologies which have a direct bearing on the
overall porosity, contained and potentially
extractable brine are noted, as are more
qualitative characteristics such as the
sedimentary facies. Cores are photographed.

Downhole geophysical logging wil be
undertaken by Zelandez, a Salta (Argentina)
based specialist Borehole Geophysical Logging
company, with a number of logging probes,
including, Caliper, Conductivity, Resistivity,
Borehole Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR
or BMR), Spectral Gamma.

The BMR probe in particular provides
information of Total Porosity, Specific Retention
and Specific Yield. The total porosity of a rock
formation represents the total pore space.
Although Total Porosity has two principal
components, Specific Retention and Specific
Yield: (a) Specific Retention (Sr), represents the
portion of the Total Porosity that is retained by
clay and capillary bound sections of a
sediment. (b) Specific Yield (Sy) is the amount
of water/brine that is actually available within
the sediment for groundwater pumping.

Specific Yield is a key parameter when
calculating a Lithium Brine Resource.

Physical samples of the core are also sent to
the Geosystems Analysis porosity laboratory in
Arizona (USA) for measurements of specific
yield andtotalporosity.This samplingis

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.

Brine samples were collected by using an
inflatable packer to purge the hole of all fluid,
to minimise the possibility of contamination by
drilling fluid. The packer allowed sampling of
isolated sections of the hole, allowing the
packer interval to re-fill with groundwater
following purging.

Samples were then taken from the relevant
section, with three well volumes of brine
purged where this was possible.

Field duplicate samples are collected in the
field. Single packer samples are taken during
the progression of drilling. Once the hole is
completed, double packer samples will be
taken in an upward progression leaving the
hole, as a check on the initial single packer
samples.

Brine sample (0.5 litre) sizes are considered
appropriate to be representative of the
formation brine.

Cores are geologically logged and ~20cm
intervals from the base of Lexan tubes are
collected every ~12 m. These samples are cut
from the bottom of the Lexan tubes and sealed
with caps to prevent moisture loss, before
sending to the Geosystems Analysis laboratory
in the USA for testing.

Cores are representative of the interval in
which they are taken. Porosity can vary
significantly in clastic salt lake sequences and
for this reason downhole BMR logging is
undertaken.
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 (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and
whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.

Samples are transported to the Geosystems
Analysis (GSA) porosity testing laboratory in
Arizona, USA. The laboratory has extensive
experience testing core samples from salt lakes
for porosity. Sub-samples are analysed in a
secondary porosity laboratory, as a check on
the GSA results.

Brine samples were sent to the Alex Stewart
International Laboratory in Jujuy, Argentina,
where detailed chemistry was processed. The
laboratory is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified
and specialises in the chemical analysis of
brines and inorganic salts, with considerable
experience in this field.

Whether sample compositing has
been applied.

Drill holes will have a spacing of approximately
2 km in this initial program.

Geophysical lines hada 1 km spacing north to
south, with stations spaced every 400 m along
the east-west lines.

Station spacing is considered sufficient for initial
characterisation of the salar.
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.

The salar deposits that host lithium-bearing
brines consist of sub-horizontal beds and lenses
of sediments, volcanic ash, and possibly silt,

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.

Individual TEM soundings were recorded at
each site and later this information was
interpolated into sections, based on data from
individual stations.
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’).

The sediments hosting brine are interpreted to
be essentially flat lying. The entire thickness of
sediments has potential to host lithium brine,
with the water table within approximately 0.3
metre of surface on the salar.
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.

A diagram is provided in the text showing the
location of the properties, the initial drill hole at
Site 4and the geophysics, as well as an
example geophysical section.
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.

Data regarding previous geophysics and the
initial drilling in SDJ001 is presented in this
release. Further information will be provided as
it becomes available.
Other
