QUARTERLY REPORT
Period Ended 31 December 2024
Greenwing Resources Ltd (‘Greenwing’ or the ‘Company’)(ASX:GW1) is pleased to provide an update on its activities and progress for the quarter ended 31 December 2024.
Greenwing holds a portfolio of assets targeting the compelling fundamentals for both Lithium and Graphite located in known mining jurisdictions.
HIGHLIGHTS
SAN JORGE LITHIUM PROJECT, ARGENTINA
-
The San Jorge Project covers the 2600-hectare San Francisco Salar, and surrounding 36,000 hectare package, delivering Greenwing the entire Salar and all surrounding prospective ground.
-
A maiden Mineral Resource Estimate[1] defined for the project in May 2024, contains 1.07 Mt of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE), consisting of 0.67 Mt of Indicated Resources and 0.4 Mt of Inferred Resources, at an initial grade of 195 mg/L Li.
-
Greenwing completed additional surface exploration programs over the quarter, which confirms the host brine mineralisation extending materially to the west and north of the salar and continuing to the limit of the surveys.
-
Additionally, the resource remains open at depth. The Company having only drilled a portion of the project sees considerable scope to add value at San Jorge.
-
Initial Brine processing test work completed with IBC Advanced Technologies (IBC) recovered >99% Li into a concentrated (7200 mg/L Li ) solution[2] .
-
Additional testing from Xstralit DLE Lithium also provided encouraging results[2] .
GRAPHMADA GRAPHITE MINING COMPLEX & MILLIE’S REWARD LITHIUM PROJECT, MADAGASCAR
-
The Company continued to progress its portfolio of assets in Madagascar, in a changing regulatory framework seeking to attract additional mining investment and provide further support for existing industry participants.
-
Greenwing has an established presence in Madagascar and has a considerable portfolio of interests in country covering both Graphite and Lithium.
-
With the changing regulatory environment, the Company is in the process of updating its agreement with the vendors of the Millie’s Reward Hard Rock Lithium project.
-
The Company completed assays of all samples taken during the recent augur drilling program at Andapa the results are currently being independently reviewed ahead of an ASX announcement.

San Jorge Project, Argentina
T he Company has established a robust platform at San Jorge and is well placed to capitalise on the progress it has made to date. This continued progress has been the focus of the Company’s activities over the quarter.
Greenwing holds a broad tenement package at San Jorge of 38,600 hectares inclusive of the San Francisco Salar covering some 2600 hectares. Greenwing is one of only a few companies in the Lithium Triangle to have a 100% interest in a salar and surrounding tenure.
In May 2024 the Company established a Maiden Resource Estimate from an initial six hole program targeting the peripheries of the Salar, with the maiden resource declared of 1.07 Mt of Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE). This consists of 0.67 Mt of Indicated Resources and 0.4 Mt of Inferred Resources at an initial grade of 195 mg/L Li.
The Company sees considerable scope to add to both the grade and size of the resource and over the quarter completed both Magnotelluric (MT) and Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) survey to better define the extent of the brine.
The results of the additional programs, as outlined in an ASX announced dated 15 January 2025, confirm the Company’s view that the lithium bearing brines present at San Jorge extend extensively to the West and the North of the visible salar, in addition to remaining open at depths below 400m.
The completed surveys confirmed material extensions to the brine body of 4kms to the west of the salar and 5kms to the North of the salar with brine extending to the limit of testing in both directions. These results deliver a substantial increase to the scope of the project.
In parallel, the Company continued to assess competing processing pathways and over the quarter published initial results of this testing from leading processing providers IBC Advanced Technologies (IBC) and Xtralit DLE (Xtralit).
The IBC test work utilizing the company’s proprietary IBC DLP process demonstrated that >99% Li can be selectively recovered using Molecular Recognition Technology (MRT), delivering a concentrated (7200/Mg/L Li) solution which can be made directly into battery grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM)without an intermediate step.
These results from two leading providers of DLE processing technologies, IBC and Xtralit, in addition to other test work completed, confirm that the San Jorge Brine is highly amenable to DLE processing.

-
g) For further information please refer the ASX Announcement dated 27 May 2024 ‘San Jorge Lithium Project – Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate’
The Company continues to be pleased with it progress at San Jorge, in addition to establishing a broad and strategic tenement package that gives it control of an entire salar and surrounding area in the Lithium triangle. The Company has established an initial resource from its maiden program with potential for significant expansion.
Follow up geophysical studies have confirmed the lithium bearing brine mineralization extends materially to the West and North along with at depth. The brine was identified at the extent of surveys to both the West and North of the salar. As per previous announcements, the resource remains open at depth.
Whilst acknowledging the current state of the Lithium market the company remains of the view that the long-term fundamentals of the Lithium market remain intact and sees likely enduring dislocations between growing supply and demand in the coming years. The Company is encouraged by the recent return of interest to the asset market for Lithium projects including Rio Tinto Ltd bid for Arcadium, the recent sale of the Arizaro salar assets of Lithium Chile and Central Puertos purchase of the nearby Tres Cruces Asset.

g) For further information please refer the ASX Announcement dated 27 May 2024 ‘San Jorge Lithium Project – Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate’
Note that the potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, other than indirect geophysical methods that indicate the presence of an extensive, highly conductive brine body. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource in the volumes defined as exploration targets . Future exploration drilling aims to continue to convert part of the exploration target volume to resources . Note that insufficient exploration has been conducted to conclude with any certainty that the exploration target could be converted to resources.

Madagascar
Overview
The Company retains significant interests in Madagascar including:
-
Graphmada Mining Complex
-
Andapa Exploration Asset
-
Millie’s Reward Hard Rock Lithium project
Greenwing has an established presence in Madagascar having been operational in the country since 2016 with the initial acquisition of the Graphmada Graphite project which is currently on care and maintenance.
Greenwing has found Madagascar a good jurisdiction to operate in and sees considerable potential in both the country and its peoples. Greenwing was able to reconstruct and operate the Graphmada Graphite mine over the period from 2016 through to 2020 under the existing legislation.
The Company is encouraged and supportive of the current overhaul of the country’s mining legislation and sees the introduction of a new mining code as beneficial for the Company and its operations in Madagascar.

Graphmada Graphite Mining Complex
Graphmada Mining Complex and its infrastructure remain in excellent condition, and the existing Mineral Resource of 61.9 Mt @ 4.5% Fixed Carbon (FC) (refer Table 1) is deemed capable of sustaining substantially higher production volumes than the mine operated at in the past.
The Graphite export market is currently dominated by China which supplies the overwhelming majority of the current export market. Over the last 18 months China has to varying degrees imposed restrictions on the export of Graphite and threatened to impose total bans[4] .
The European Union, The USA United States and Japan have all classified Graphite as a critical mineral and hold the development of ex-China sources of supply as a strategic imperative.
Greenwing, with an advanced graphite project outside of China, continues to see emerging strategic value in its Graphmada asset.
Graphmada has an existing resource that has produced all commercial concentrates in the graphite complex, with qualification into both the United States and the European Union. Additionally, Graphmada has long-life mining leases and considerable infrastructure in place, with the project located just 3 kilometers off the national highway and approximately 120 kilometers from the port of Tamatave (Figure 3).
Greenwing is continuing a process to attract strategic investment and achieve value for its stakeholders for the Graphmada asset given its advanced status.
During the quarter, care and maintenance activities continued on site.

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.

Andapa Graphite Project, Madagascar
Greenwing continues with its exploration on its Andapa prospect. Andapa is a separate property located a further 60klms towards the country’s main deep-water port from Graphmada at Tamatave, Madagascar’s second largest city. The Andapa Project is currently under mining lease.
During the quarter the Company completed a further 32 holes for 261m drilled, bringing the 2024 augur drilling program to a close with a total of 388 holes correlating to 3,262m. The Company is working through an independent review of the results and will be updating the market during the March 2025 quarter.
Millie’s Reward Lithium Project, Madagascar
Over the December quarter, Greenwing advanced discussions with the vendors of the three permits comprising Millie’s Reward project with a view to completing the transfer of these permits to the Company. In parallel with developments with the new Mining Code in Madagascar the Company is seeking to finallise the transfer of tenure and resume exploration activities. The revised mining code in Madagascar aims to ensure timely processing of all mining permit applications.
The Company intends to undertake further exploration at the Millie’s Reward project following the transfers occurring. This exploration program will focus on completing the soil sampling program over lithium bearing pegmatites, commencing pitting and trenching followed by geophysics to identify potential sub-surface pegmatites.
Millies Reward is an exciting project characterized by an outstanding surface signature which has identified a large number of pegmatite outcrops along a significant strike length[8] . Additionally, the project has previously returned a weighted average intersection of 3.72% Lithium Oxide over a 31m channel sample[9] .
Previous field programs have identified numerous encouraging rock chip samples up to 7.08% Li2O and supported by additional samples returning 6.93% and 6.91% Li2O[10] and numerous samples between 5-5.7% Li2O[11] .

Corporate Activities
On 16 October the Company released its Notice of Annual General Meeting and on 25 November held the meeting with all resolutions being passed.
ASX listing rule 5.3 disclosures
For the quarter ending 31 December 2024, the Company had net cash outflows of $201k in expensed and capitalised exploration and evaluation activities.
In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure activities were undertaken by Andes Litio SA which is not included in the above amount. As noted in the audited annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2023[12] , as a result of the strategic funding transaction with NIO, the Company is considered to have lost sole control of Andes Litio SA (Andes Litio) and even though the Group retains 100% of the shares and voting rights, joint control exists as decisions about the relevant activities of the San Jorge Project require unanimous consent of the parties. Accordingly, the Company’s interest in Andes Litio is recognised as an interest in a jointly controlled entity and is accounted for under the equity accounting method.
Under this accounting treatment, any funds provided to, or expenditure incurred by the Company in relation to, Andes Litio are reported as an increase in the investment in Andes Litio in the cash flow statement. For the December 2024 quarter this amount was $171k (previous quarter $355k) reflecting the exploration activities undertaken during the quarter.
Also, any cash held by Andes Litio is not recognised as cash on hand for Greenwing at the end of the period in the cash flow statement. As of 31 December 2024, a further $25k is held by Andes Litio, which will be utilised for in-country exploration and associated expenses.
The total amount paid to directors of the entity and their associates in the period (item 6.1 of Appendix 5B) was $65k relating to prior quarters, with an amount of $59k accrued for the quarter.

Note: (a) As noted in the annual financial reports, as part of the strategic funding transaction with NIO Inc., the Company is considered to have lost sole control of the relevant activities of Andes Litio SA on signing the subscription agreement in September 2022. Even though the Group retains 100% of the shares and voting rights, joint control exists as decisions about the relevant activities of the San Jorge Project require unanimous consent of the parties. The Company has deconsolidated its interest in Andes Litio SA from the date of signing the subscription agreement (as control was deemed to have been lost) and recognise its interest in Andes Litio SA as an interest in a jointly controlled entity and is accounted for under the equity accounting method.

Notes:
The amount of cash and cash equivalents held at quarter end at item 8.4 includes $97k which may be used only for expenditure related to the San Jorge Lithium Project.
If this amount is deducted from the total available funding, the amount of funding available for outgoings other than the San Jorge Project is $1,116k at the end of the quarter, including the $585k undrawn loan facility.
This equates to approximately 2 quarters of funding available for expenditure outside of the San Jorge project using the calculation in 8.7 above as at 31 December 2024.
As previously announced, the Company has secured an $8m funding facility (refer ASX announcement dated 31 January 2024) which when included in cash available to fund operations other than the San Jorge Project equates to approximately 16 quarters of funding available.
