Strategic Acquisition Expands Pilbara Gold Project
Highlights
-
Kali Metals Limited ( ASX: KM1 ) (“ Kali ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to announce it has further expanded its tenement landholding at its Marble Bar Gold Project by 28.8km[2] , having entered into a binding agreement to acquire E45/6389
-
The new strategic tenement acquisition abuts Kali’s existing tenure on three sides and expands the total project area to ~96km[2]
-
Significantly, the new tenement lies immediately north and along strike of Kali’s previously announced 9.5km long gold-in-soil anomaly[1] with rock chip results of up to 4.0g/t gold[2]
-
Based on exploration to date, Kali is optimistic that the mineralisation trend extends into E45/6389 (Refer Figure 2). With heritage arrangements already in place, Kali intends to start exploration immediately
-
Kali is also pleased to report that it has collected an additional 299 rock chips at Marble Bar on its existing tenements, and expects to announce those results in the near future

Paul Adams, Managing Director of Kali Metals, commented:
“Kali is very pleased to have finalized negotiations to acquire exploration licence E45/6389. With gold prices reaching record highs in April, Kali is maintaining a key focus on the gold prospectivity of its 100%-owned Marble Bar Project in the Pilbara.
This new acquisition bolsters Kali’s landholding in this highly prospective gold region, which includes the operating Warrawoona / Klondyke Gold Project. The strategic rationale for the acquisition is not only that our exploration team is hopeful our 9.5km gold-in-soil anomaly continues into this new tenement, but also that it makes Kali’s entire Marble Bar Project contiguous, which has obvious advantages for exploration access and efficiency.
The Company is also looking forward to releasing the results of its most extensive rock chip program conducted at our Marble Bar Project to date, which saw the team collect an impressive 299 rock chips. We hope to announce those assay results in the coming weeks.”

About Kali Metals Limited
Kali Metals’ (ASX: KM1) portfolio of assets represents one of the largest and most prospective exploration packages across Australia’s world leading hard-rock lithium fields. Kali’s ~4,009km[2] exploration tenure is located near existing, emerging, and unexplored lithium and critical minerals regions in WA including the Pilbara and Eastern Yilgarn and the Southern Lachlan Fold Belt in NSW and Victoria. In addition, Kali has recently expanded its tenement package at the Marble Bar Gold Project in the Eastern Pilbara where early indications show high grade gold at surface in an area with no previous drilling or historic workings.
Kali Metals has a team of well credentialed professionals who are focused on exploring and developing commercial lithium resources and identifying new strategic assets to add to the portfolio. In addition to lithium, Kali Metals has a number of prospective gold and tin projects within its existing tenure and is committed to generate shareholder value through exploration and development of these assets.
