Project Overview

Millie’s Reward is a potentially high-grade pegmatite-hosted lithium project located in central Madagascar.

The project consists of over 200 multiple pegmatite surface occurrences along a strike length of 10 km which to date have returned rock-chip grades up to 7.08% Li20. Phase 1 includes prospecting, geological mapping, rock-chip sampling, geochemical soil sampling, pitting and trenching programs. Phase 2 aims to delineate mineralization through circa 5,000 metre drill program to commence in the 2[nd] half of 2018. Excellent community support and existing mining infrastructure adjacent to Millie’s Reward.

Local Geology

The lithium mineralization at Millie’s Reward exists within pegmatites.

Pegmatites are:

  • Igneous rocks with a granitic composition (quartz + plagioclase

    • feldspar);
  • Very coarse grained (> 3cm), but also variable grain sizes; and

  • Characterised by skeleton, graphic intergrowth textures and

  • other strong directional growth habits.

There are numerous outcropping pegmatite dikes, veins, pods, and sills, with the highest geochemically evolved pegmatites hosted in marbles and along the contact between marbles and schists.

Host Mineralization

==> picture [135 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [260 x 391] intentionally omitted <==

The most common lithium-bearing mineral found in economic pegmatite deposits is spodumene (lithium silicate).

Generally, Spodumene is a milky white colour, however when approaching miarolitic cavities, changes to a pale / deep pink colour with high lithium content (right).

==> picture [239 x 269] intentionally omitted <==

The Spodumene at Millie’s Reward can constitute a few points in percentage in volume, up to 30% to 50% in volume of the rock, with most pegmatite dikes and sills in the area >10 meters in thickness and >several hundreds meters in length.

Historical Exploration

Within the northern part of the project area is a small underground exploration drive (right), which has been active since the early 2000’s for its gemstone potential.

==> picture [411 x 232] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [135 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [407 x 229] intentionally omitted <==

Little to no modern exploration has been undertaken within the Project area. There are however artisanal surface pits and workings (left) that exist throughout, offering invaluable information on pegmatite mineralization.

10

Exploration Strategy

==> picture [135 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

As a virgin discovery, the exploration strategy with the most efficient capital expenditure has been designed to be completed in 5 Phases:

  • Field Assessment & Prospect Generation;

  • Maiden Exploration Drilling Program;

  • Maiden Resource Drilling & Estimation;

  • Technical Studies & Infill Drilling; and

  • Updated Resource Estimation & Definitive Feasibility Study.

The Company aims to deliver the US$1.3m exploration program for Millie’s Reward over the course of the next 3 years and through this program deliver significant value to its shareholders.

Phase 1 Exploration

The Phase 1 program focuses on exploration utilising geological sampling & mapping and geophysical & geochemical surveys. The combination of this data will allow interpretation and modelling of the prospectivity of the area in order to define the highest priority economic drill prospects, with the ultimate aim to support a Mineral Resource definition for the Project. The systematic exploration program which has already commenced will seek to identify prospects for drilling through:

  • Field prospecting and geological mapping;

  • Rock-chip sampling;

  • Soil geochemical sampling; and

  • Pitting and trenching.

Detailed desktop study review and remote geological mapping have . identified 8 high priority prospects to date The speed of field analysis will be increased through the use of a portable X-Ray Fluorescence machine, allowing in field analysis of multi-elements, including a lithium index and the pathfinder elements associated with lithium-bearing pegmatites; caesium, tantalum, rubidium, niobium, tin, gallium and thallium.

Phase 1 Exploration

==> picture [135 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

Initial field observations include:

  • At Ampatsikahitra the pegmatite occurs over approx. 500 m, with Li2O grades up to 7.08%.

  • At Ilapa the pegmatite occurs over approx. 700 m, with Li2O grades up to 1.79%.

  • At Manjaka the pegmatite occurs over approx. 300 m, with Li2O grades up to 6.93%.

  • At Vietnam the pegmatite occurs over approx. 100 m, with Li2O grades up to 6.91%.

It is considered important to note that the lithium-bearing pegmatites sampled in the project area represent only what was observed largely at surface. It is considered highly likely that other pegmatites may occur beneath the regolith cover.

Phase 2 Exploration

Proposed >5,000 metre drilling program aiming to intercept potential lithium bearing pegmatites identified from the Systematic Exploration Program (Phase 1). Utilising a EP200 Hand Portable Hydraulic Diamond Core Rig (right) the drilling program aims to define pegmatite thickness and depth of mineralization. The EP200 is capable of drilling to a depth of 200m and has core sizes HQ & NTW. Drilling program to begin in second half of 2018.

Community Engagement

==> picture [135 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

Bass Metals has initiated a comprehensive community engagement program to practically demonstrate to the community the benefits of developing a significant project in the region. The community program will be largely based on the very successful Graphmada Care Program, recently recognised as the leading program of its type in Madagascar.
