ASX Announcement
14 December 2021
Pilbara Lithium Portfolio Expanded with Acquisition of the Pear Creek Project – Marble Bar Lithium Exploration Update
Highlights
Pear Creek Lithium Project Acquisition
-
Acquisition of significant new lithium exploration tenure (“Pear Creek Lithium Project”) (147km[2] ), in close proximity to Kalamazoo’s 100% owned DOM’s Hill and Marble Bar projects, East Pilbara WA
-
The acquisition nearly doubles Kalamazoo’s lithium exploration tenure to 348km[2] in this highly prospective mineral region
-
The East Pilbara region is subject to major lithium exploration activity and hosts two of the world’s largest pegmatite-hosted lithium mines at Pilgangoora (Pilbara Minerals Ltd ASX: PLS) and Wodgina (Albemarle NYSE: ALB/Mineral Resources Ltd ASX: MIN)
-
Adjacent to DOM’s Hill, the Pear Creek Lithium Project consists of three granted Exploration Licences (E45/3856, E45/4616 and E45/5813) covering highly prospective Archaean granite-greenstone terrane in proximity to the nearby Pilgangoora and Wodgina lithium deposits
-
The Pear Creek Lithium Project includes ~25km strike extent of prospective 1-7km wide Archaean granite-greenstone contact zone, otherwise known as the “Goldilocks Zone”, which is highly prospective for pegmatite-hosted lithium-caesium-tantalum (“LCT”) mineralisation
-
Importantly, the Pear Creek Lithium Project has seen little to no modern exploration for LCT pegmatite mineralisation and this will now be a major added focus for Kalamazoo in the upcoming field season
Marble Bar Lithium Project Update
- Numerous outcropping pegmatite dyke occurrences recorded in early December 2021 along existing tracks, including some which contained visible amounts of lepidolite (lithium mica)
Kalamazoo’s Chairman and CEO Luke Reinehr said today, “Kalamazoo has unfinished business at Pear Creek, having previously explored there in 2013 for a few years, whilst searching for gold. Of course, at that time, there was little interest in lithium exploration, so it was not on our radar. Our teams’ excellent soil geochemistry surveys and pegmatite dyke mapping over the last few months at the DOM’s Hill and Marble Bar Lithium Projects, provides us with confidence in exploring for LCT pegmatite mineralisation in the immediate area, so leading us back to Pear Creek. Combining the Pear Creek Lithium Project with our highly prospective existing tenure is an important component of our strategy to discover long-life, large scale lithium deposits in the Pilbara, which complements our major gold exploration activities in the area.”

Kalamazoo Resources Limited (ASX: KZR) (“Kalamazoo” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that it has acquired three exploration licences (E45/3856, E45/4616 and E45/5813) in the East Pilbara region, WA. This new project, referred to as the “Pear Creek Lithium Project”, covers ~147km[2] of highly prospective lithium and gold geology located between Kalamazoo’s existing DOM’s Hill and Marble Bar Lithium Projects (Figure 1).
Like the nearby DOM’s Hill, this new Pear Creek project area contains a geological setting with target host rocks strongly analogous to that of the nearby world class Pilgangoora and Wodgina pegmatite-hosted lithium deposits. Furthermore, this acquisition represents a near doubling of Kalamazoo’s lithium and gold exploration licence tenure in this highly prospective region to 348 km[2] (Figure 2).

The interpreted “Goldilocks Zone” is defined as a 4km wide zone located along the Archaean granite-greenstone contact area.
The lithium mineralisation potential at both the DOM’s Hill and Pear Creek project areas was initially identified by the fact that their shared geology was analogous to that of the nearby Pilgangoora and Wodgina lithium deposits. The project geology for the region, and in particular the granite-greenstone contact zone, or “Goldilocks Zone”, is clearly shown in the WA regional scale aeromagnetic image (Figure 1). Based on this strong analogy, Kalamazoo considers both the DOM’s Hill and Pear Creek Lithium Projects to be highly prospective for rare-element granitic pegmatites of the LCT geochemical group.

Figure 2: Location of Kalamazoo’s lithium exploration projects at DOM’s Hill, Pear Creek and Marble Bar, East Pilbara WA. Note that Kalamazoo has gold rights only in respect to E45/4724.
The Pear Creek project area is and has historically been considered prospective for a range of gold, nickel, ‐ cobalt and base metal deposits. The area has been recently re rated for its gold potential due to shear hosted gold resources being identified to the east at the Warrawoona project by Calidus Resources Ltd (ASX: CAI) and the intrusion related mineralisation at the Hemi discovery at Mallina by De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX: DEG).
Kalamazoo considers it positive that despite its close proximity to two of the world’s largest hard-rock lithium mines, there has been no known previous exploration for lithium undertaken at Pear Creek. This may be partly explained by some of the project area being overlain by a thin veneer of younger sedimentary cover.

Marble Bar Lithium Project (E45/4700) – Field Reconnaissance Finds Lepidolite-Bearing Pegmatite Dykes
During a brief field reconnaissance exercise at Kalamazoo’s Marble Bar Lithium Project conducted in early December 2021, Kalamazoo’s geologists recorded numerous outcropping pegmatite dyke occurrences along existing tracks some of which contained visible amounts of lepidolite (lithium mica) (Figures 3 and 4). These occurrences support historical reports of lithium-enriched pegmatites recorded elsewhere within the northern parts of E45/4700 (Figure 4). The occurrence of lepidolite was verified visually as well as via RAMAN spectroscopy of select rock chip samples (Figure 5). A selection of pegmatite rock chip samples collected during this exercise have been submitted for laboratory assay and quantitative X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses (pending).
Kalamazoo considers the occurrence of numerous pegmatite dykes, some of which are lithium enriched, on the margins of the Moolyella Monzogranite source intrusion and related alluvial tin-tantalum field as strong positive indications of LCT prospectivity in E45/4700. The field reconnaissance exercise was brief and largely restricted to existing tracks however it further highlights the potential to discover more pegmatites. Additional field reconnaissance campaigns will be planned once the current project-wide detailed soil geochemistry survey is completed (mid-December 2021) and evaluated (late January 2022).

Cautionary Statement
It should be noted that the information in this announcement is based only on visual field observations and the assay results for the rock chip samples collected from the outcropping pegmatites and the Kalamazoo soil samples are yet to be received. The Company has not yet confirmed whether lithium mineralisation is present, given that this can only be determined through laboratory analysis.
Response to COVID-19
Kalamazoo has been proactively managing the potential impact of COVID-19 and has developed systems and policies to ensure the health and safety of its employees and contractors, and of limiting risk to its operations. These systems and policies have been developed in line with the formal guidance of State and Federal health authorities and with the assistance of its contractors and will be updated should the formal guidance change. Kalamazoo’s first and foremost priority is the health and wellbeing of its employees and contractors.
To ensure the health and wellbeing of its employees and contractors, Kalamazoo has implemented a range of measures to minimise the risk of infection and rate of transmission to COVID-19 whilst continuing to operate. All operations and activities have been minimised only to what is deemed essential. Implemented measures include employees and contractors completing COVID-19 risk monitoring, increased hygiene practices, the banning of nonessential travel for the foreseeable future, establishing strong infection control systems and protocols across the business and facilitating remote working arrangements, where practicable and requested. Kalamazoo will continue to monitor the formal requirements and guidance of State and Federal health authorities and act accordingly.
Competent Persons Statement
The information for the Kalamazoo’s Pilbara Lithium Exploration Projects is based on information compiled by Dr Luke Mortimer, a competent person who is a Member of The Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Dr Mortimer is an employee engaged as the Exploration Manager Eastern Australia for the Company and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Dr Mortimer consents to the inclusion in this document of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
Forward Looking Statements
Statements regarding Kalamazoo’s plans with respect to its mineral properties and programs are forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that Kalamazoo’s plans for development of its mineral properties will proceed as currently expected. There can also be no assurance that Kalamazoo will be able to confirm the presence of additional mineral resources/reserves, that any mineralisation will prove to be economic or that a mine will successfully be developed on any of Kalamazoo’s mineral properties. The performance of Kalamazoo may be influenced by a number of factors which are outside the control of the Company and its Directors, staff and contractors.
