Strong Progress at San Jorge with Drilling Expanding Lithium Brine Footprint and Attractive Initial Porosity Values

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Greenwing has completed the fourth hole (SJDD04) on the western periphery of the San Jorge Lithium project to a depth of 400 m, with drilling of SJDD05 underway.

  • Assay results from 12-288m in SJDD04 average 191 mg/l Lithium and 5,399 mg/l potassium in brine in gravels and volcanic sediments, with a maximum value of 230 mg/l Li at 288 m.

  • Holes SJDD01 to SJDD03 have returned initial highly encouraging specific yield porosities of up to 30%. Downhole geophysical logging is continuing with further detailed results due shortly.

  • Confirmation that the conductive zone in the previously tabled TEM geophysical profiles indicates the brine body extending both to the west and the north of the salar surface.

CHAIRMAN RICK ANTHON:

“The early results from San Jorge hole SJDD04 are consistent with our interpretation of the brine body at San Jorge potentially extending 3 km or more west of the salar, beneath gravels and volcanic flow units. This is positive news for future resource estimation and we will be targeting follow up drilling in this area. The initial porosity numbers for Holes 1-3 (Figure 1) are also encouraging. The results from drilling also suggest the brine body extends north of where geophysics was completed. Greenwing will now move to drilling holes SJDD05 and 06, before targeting a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate which we are looking to deliver early in the second quarter.”

Greenwing Resources Ltd ( Greenwing or the Company ) (ASX:GW1) is pleased to provide an update on drilling underway at its San Jorge Lithium Project in Argentina.

SAN JORGE MAIDEN DRILLING PROGRAM

SJDD04 results

Greenwing current drilling programme began in the north of the San Jorge salar, focussing on the salar edge for access reasons. Four holes have now been completed, confirming that concentrations increase down hole below the more diluted surface zone where concentrations, confirmed by surface grid sampling, are in the 100 to 200 mg/l range, with elevated potassium concentrations, reaching over 5,000 mg/l.

The fourth hole (SJDD04, Table 1) to has been completed at 402 m depth and has intersected a sequence of gravels and volcanic sediments with sandy matrix below the volcanic lava flows, confirming the presence of extensive gravels west of the salar. Unlike the first three holes SJDD04 did not intersect the consolidated sedimentary bedrock suggesting the southern and western part of the basin may be deeper. The gravels and sediments are friable but are noted to become more compact in the deeper part of the hole, as in most salar basins.

The brine concentration in SJDD04 (Figure 2) is similar to holes SJDD01 to SJDD03 (Table 2), although slightly lower on average, at 191 mg/l over the interval from 12 to 288 m. The highest concentration in the hole is 230 mg/l lithium, in the last sample for which results are available to date, at 282-288 m. This compares to the previous drill holes SJDD01 through SJDD03, with relatively homogeneous concentrations of around 200 mg/l Lithium and 4700mg/l Potassium.

SJDD01 to SJDD03 results

Assay results were provided in previous announcements, averaging around 200 mg/l lithium. Laboratory porosity results have now been received for holes SJDD01 (principally volcanic lava, overlying bedrock), SJDD02 and SJDD03, (volcanic ash and tuff units, gravels and sands). Specific yield porosity results for SJDD01 range between 2 and 12% specific yield. For SJDD02 specific yield porosity varies between 1 and 29%, while for SJDD03 specific yield varies between 3 and more than 30%.

Downhole geophysical logging of holes is planned using a borehole magnetic resonance tool, to measure in-situ drainable porosity. This will provide additional information to the laboratory porosity results and additional downhole gamma, resistivity and conductivity tools will provide additional information for characterization of the sediments.

Geological interpretation suggests that the northern part of the salar is a separate sub-basin, partially connected to the southern part of the salar.

Basin geological interpretation

Drilling to date has shown the salar consists of a sequence of volcanic ash units, and reworked volcanic material, with minor basalt to andesite flows in the salar sequence, although these are thicker to the west outside the salar (Figure 3). Identification of sandy and gravelly material in SJDD04, representative of alluvial fans, confirms that lava flows west of the salar cover older alluvial fan deposits, which were peripheral to the salar.

The presence of these gravelly sand units west of the salar indicated that similar material may continue for several kilometres west of the salar, beyond the western extent of the TEM survey. This suggests an important volume of brine is present in this part of the project. Similarly it is interpreted that brine continues north of the TEM geophysical survey area, contributing to a larger footprint of brine mineralisation.

Geological data is being incorporated into a Leapfrog geological model, to calibrate the geophysical data from the TEM and passive seismic surveys and define the base of the salar. This will then be used to deliver the Maiden Resource Estimate for the project.

Future Activities

Greenwing is planning to take bulk samples of brine to send to process providers for lithium extraction testing, to evaluate the performance of different processes. This will allow the Company to assess the most appropriate process route for the San Jorge brines.

Activities for February and March will focus on completing holes SJDD05 and 06, to allow a target completion of the Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate towards the end of Q1 2024. This will be undertaken in parallel with process testing of the brine.

SAN JORGE PROJECT BACKGROUND

Located in Catamarca Province, Argentina, within the Lithium Triangle (Figure 4) 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 at surface.

The TEM survey previously carried out mapped the extent of the brine body, on and off the salar, providing information on the likely changes in lithologies hosting brine. The survey successfully defined the brine body extending beneath lava flows and gravels west of the salar, extending up to 2.4km west of the salar surface. Off the salar the survey has defined extension of the brine body to depths up to 500m deep. 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 Company has the right to acquire up to 100% of the San Jorge Lithium Project (Figure 5) entirely at its election on satisfaction of investment and expenditure commitments. The Company’s current interest in the project is 25%, which will increase upon conclusion of this program.

The San Jorge Project (Figure 4) is located near major lithium mining and development companies including Zijin Mining, Allkem, Livent, Ganfeng, Rio Tinto, Lake Resources and Galan Lithium.

PROJECT LOCATION AND EXPLORATION LICENSES

The 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.

JORC Table 1

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
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 azone of 1-2ohm 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 sediments that host brine.

Drilling has been conducted using a diamond
drilling rig, with HQ drilling equipment. The hole
is drilled with the assistance of drilling mud. The
drilling produced cores with variable core
recovery, associated with unconsolidated
material, in particularly sandy intervals.
Recovery of these more friable sediments is
more difficult with diamond drilling, as this
material can be washed from the core barrel
during drilling.

Brackish water to dilute brine, obtained from
the salar surface near the drill hole, has been
used as drilling fluid for lubrication during
drilling,for mixing ofadditives andmuds.
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.

Diamond drill core was recovered in 1.5m
length intervals in the drilling triple (split) tubes,
and Lexan polycarbonate tubes used in place
of the triple tubes, to obtain samples for the
laboratory. Appropriate additives were used
for hole stability to maximize core recovery. The
core recovered from each run was measured
and compared to the length of each run to
calculate the recovery. Chip samples, for any
intervals drilled with rotary drilling, are collected
for each metre drilled and stored in
segmented plastic boxes for rotary drill holes.

Brine samples were collected at discrete
depths during the drilling using a single packer
at a 6 m interval (to isolate intervals of the
sediments and obtain samples from airlifting
brine from the sediment interval isolated
between the packers) open to the base of the
hole. The separation of packer samples shows
some variability, due to conditions during
drilling.

Additives and muds are used to maintain hole
stability and minimize sample washing away
from the triple tube.

As the brine (mineralisation) samples are taken
from inflows of the brine into the hole (and not
from the drill core – which has variable
recovery) they are largely independent of the
quality (recovery) of the core samples.

where samples are taken is related to the rate
and potentially lithium grade of brine inflows.
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 lithiumextraction.
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

Volcanic derived sand, gravel, volcanic tuffs
and intervals of lava flows were recovered in
triple tube diamond core drilling, and
examined for geologic logging by a geologist,
with photographs taken for reference.

Diamond holes are logged by a geologist who
also supervised taking of samples for laboratory
porosity analysis (with samples drilled and
collected in Lexan polycarbonate tubes) as
well as additional physical property testing.

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 volcano-
sedimentary facies and their relationships.

company, with several logging probes,
including, Calliper, Conductivity, Resistivity,
Borehole Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR

The BMR probe 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 available within the sediment for
groundwater pumping.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the
in-situ material collected,
including for instance results for

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 every 18 m
(subject to hole conditions), 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 LCV laboratory in the Argentina
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.

The properties were subject to brief and
inconclusive brine sampling previously, with
only 5 brine samples taken along the eastern
edge of the salar by the vendor. The sampling
completed in October 2021 confirmed
comparable results along the eastern side of
the salar, with higher results in the centre of the
salar. A comprehensive grid of surface brine
samples has not been collected across the
salar.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.

The project is a salar deposit, located in a
closed basin in the Andean Mountain range in
Northern Argentina.

The sediments within the salar consist of
volcanic ash, silt, and volcanic flows locally,
and possibly at deeper levels sand, gravel
halite and or clay, which have accumulated in
the salar from terrestrial sedimentation from the
sides of the basin. Brine hosting dissolved lithium
is present in pore spaces.

The sediments are interpreted to be essentially
flat lying with unconfined aquifer conditions
close to surface and semi-confined to
confined conditions at depth.

Geology was recorded during previous
excavationofshallowpitsforbrine sampling.

o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and

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.

Lithium samples are by nature composites of
brine over intervals of metres, due to the fluid
nature of brine.
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.

Mineralisation is interpreted to be horizontally
lying and drilling is perpendicular to this, so
intersections are considered true thicknesses
Brine is likely to extend to the base of the basin
and has been confirmed by drilling to extend
into fractures in the underlying older
bedrock/basement units of fractured
sandstones.

Mineralisation is continuous betweendrill holes.
