ASX Announcement Greenwing Resources Limited (‘Greenwing’ or the ‘Company’) (ASX:GW1) aims to capitalise Quarterly Activities Report – June 2022 Quarter on the robust market fundamentals for graphite, lithium, and advanced materials. In 29 July 2022 progressing this strategy, the Company is pleased to report its activities for the quarter ended 30 March 2022.
Greenwing Resources Ltd ( Greenwing or the Company ) (ASX:GW1), is pleased to report its activities for the June 2022 quarter as it continues to progress its strategy to become an integrated green metals producer with exposure to lithium, graphite and advanced materials.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Commencement of detailed Transient Electromagnetic (“TEM”) geophysical survey at the San Jorge Lithium Project, located in the prolific Lithium Triangle
-
Preparation for maiden drilling program at the San Jorge Lithium Project continued
-
Brine samples supplied to leading providers of Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) technology for testing
-
Completion of diamond drilling program at Graphmada Mining Complex with 69 drill holes for a total of 3,268 meters
-
Updated Graphmada Mineral Resource announced of 61.9 million tonnes (Mt) at 4.5% Fixed Carbon (FC), nearly tripling the total contained graphite to 2.7 Mt (refer Table 1)
-
Successful production and characterisation of graphene to ISO Technical Standard (TS) 21356-1:2021
LITHIUM
San Jorge, Argentina
The San Jorge Lithium Project consists of a 38,000 hectare tenement package, inclusive of the entire 2,800 hectare San Francisco Salar, in the highly prospective Lithium Triangle which accounts for a significant proportion of the world’s lithium production.
At the end of the quarter, the Company commenced a TEM Electrical Geophysical survey with an objective of mapping the extent of the brine body, particularly off the visible salar, and to provide information on the lithologies associated with aquifers in the salar, as well as to define geological structures. The survey will consist of 9 lines with up to 128 TEM stations.

Figure 1: Location of TEM geophysical lines planned to evaluate brine distribution
During the quarter, planning work continued for the Company’s maiden drilling program. The drilling program is planned around the western margins of the salar, as experience in other salt lake basins suggest lithium brine is likely to extend under the alluvial gravels and basalt flows in this area.
The three rotary holes of approximately 400m each are designed to confirm the lithium concentration and obtain information about different types of sediments and host units to brine. Concurrently to undertaking the drilling program the Company will also extract larger brine samples for processing evaluation.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA's) were executed with leading providers of DLE technology and brine samples provided to determine the brine’s suitability for DLE processing.
Millie’s Reward, Madagascar
The Company continued planning activities for a future exploration program at Millie’s Reward,

GRAPHITE
Graphmada, Madagascar
Greenwing completed a diamond drilling program at its wholly owned Graphmada Graphite Mining Complex, Madagascar. The program consisted of 69 drill holes for a total of 3,268 meters.
At the Ambatofafana Zone, the primary aim was to expand the Mineral Resource, which was achieve with 31 drill holes for 1,889 meters. The diamond drill section (Figure 2) for Ambatofafana contained many high-grade thick intersections along drill holes GW1D0044 to GW1D0052 (excluding GW1D0058) – reported in ASX Announcement dated 13 April 2022.
This zone continues to demonstrate significant graphite mineralisation that is open laterally, in width and in depth, with most drill holes ending in mineralisation.

Update Mineral Resources
As announced on 12 July 2022, the drilling program expanded the Graphmada Mineral Resource to 61.9Mt at 4.5% Fixed Carbon (FC). The contained graphite has nearly tripled, increasing from 890kt to 2,780kt.
This program has made significant advancement in realising the Exploration Target estimate of 86-146 Million tonnes between 4-6% TGC.
Next steps involve advancing feasibility studies on large scale mining and processing.
Table 1: June 2022 Graphmada Mining Complex Mineral Resources
| Tonnes (Mt) | FC% | Contained Graphite (kt) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Measured | 18.7 | 4.9 | 911 |
| Indicated | 12.3 | 4.7 | 582 |
| Inferred | 30.9 | 4.2 | 1,288 |
| Total | 61.9 | 4.5 | 2,780 |
Important Notes:
An Exploration Target is a statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a defined geological setting where the statement or estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade, relates to mineralization for which there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate an additional Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of an additional Mineral Resource.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in the relevant ASX releases, and the form and context of the announcement has not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.
ADVANCED MATERIALS
Greenwing’s research partnership with Swinburne University achieved the characterisation of graphene as defined by International Organisation for Standardisation (” ISO standards ”). Greenwing is the only ASX listed company to report that its graphene has been produced to this high standard in an ISO 9001 facility.
This milestone, the second milestone reached as part of the collaboration, is a key step in the Company’s plans to create a patentable and environmentally friendly process to produce advanced materials such as expandable graphite and graphene. The Company aims to utilise these advanced materials in the manufacture of next generation fireproof products, with a focus on mechanical strength and high-quality fire resistance.
The graphene demonstrated monolayered and few layered graphene sheets and laterally, large graphene sheets, which are highly sought after in high performance applications. Graphene was produced via an environmentally friendly process using an organic solvent with Liquid Phase Exfoliation (" LFE "), a promising method due to scalability.

Greenwing Resources Ltd
The Company and Swinburne will now focus on:
-
♦ Optimising the graphene percentage for strength and fire-resistant properties for use in advanced materials and products
-
♦ commence the manufacturing of next generation prototypes
-
♦ undertaking further analysis of fire resistant and mechanical properties

8.8 If Item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
-
Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
Answer:
The Company completed a significant drilling program in Madagascar during the June quarter. It expects to have lower operating expenditures in the September quarter, noting that it plans a drilling program in Argentina commencing in late September/October, which is likely to increase the outflows again in the December quarter.
The Company will look to continue its exploration and development activities in both Argentina and Madagascar with expenditure priorities carefully considered.
- Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?
ASX Listing Rules Appendix 5B (01/12/19) + See chapter 19 of the ASX Listing Rules for defined terms.
Page 4
Appendix 5B
Mining exploration entity or oil and gas exploration entity quarterly cash flow report
Answer:
The Company is considering its options to fund its exploration and development activities. The Company has a number of options including:
-
raising additional equity or securing other forms of financing to meet the Company’s working capital requirements.
-
reducing its level of expenditure through farm outs or joint ventures; and
-
disposing of assets
The Company has successfully raised funds as required in the past and retains the support of its major shareholders and corporate advisors and is optimistic that it will be able to raise further funding as required in the future.
- Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer:
The Company will maintain exploration, development and maintenance activities whilst managing its net cash outflows allowing it to continue these activities in the near term.
