Managing Director, Christopher Piggott, commented:
“During the quarter, our primary focus has been on advancing the drill permit at the Cross Lake lithium project where there is significant potential for the Company to define a large-scale lithium system. Additionally, I've had the opportunity to spend time in Manitoba, engaging with local community members and further solidifying our relationship as we move forward with the project.
Leeuwin is well placed to advance exploration activities with a strong cash balance and a focused team executing the exploration programs in Canada and Western Australia.”

Cross Lake Lithium Project - Manitoba, Canada
Cross Lake Lithium Project ( Cross Lake ) is a significant large-scale opportunity with mapped pegmatite swarms over +6km of strike.
During the quarter Leeuwin has been actively preparing to take the next step in exploring Cross Lake with plans to launch a 2,500m Phase 1 drill program to test the spodumene-bearing pegmatites in the coming months.
Leeuwin has engaged and identified drill contractors and has already completed design of the drill program refer figure 1, which will test the shallow mineralisation and down dip extents of the system with hole depths planned between 50m to 200m.
The Company will also carry out mapping and geochemical testing over the 4.7km trend, refer figure 2. Additionally, Leeuwin will carry out summer field work to advance regional targets within the project tenure over +70km strike of the greenstone belt. This work will include field mapping, sampling and spectral analysis from the middle of this year.

Drill Permitting
The drill permitting process remains on schedule for the first half of 2024 with the submission of a permit application to the Manitoba Department of Economic Development, Investment and Trade. Leeuwin has an experienced permitting team that has facilitated the Company’s proactive advancement of the permit approval process. The permit enables the execution of the proposed 2024 drill program, and future drill programs for up to three years following approval. The drill permit submission allows for the Company to expedite exploration on the Project with the scope of the permit allowing for 10,000m of drilling.
As part of the drill permit application a precursor to commencing exploration at Cross Lake, the Company is advancing an exploration agreement with the Cross Lake Band of Indians and Pimicikamak Cree Nation (First Nations) on whose traditional territory the Project is located.
Once the Company receives First Nations endorsement, the Manitoba permitting office will do a final review, which is expected to take two weeks. The Company anticipates that the permit will be issued thereafter.
Community Engagement
Leeuwin is committed to a mutually beneficial relationship and is working closely with First Nations stakeholders to facilitate positive communication and respectful consultation process. The aim is to preserve and boost the knowledge base used by First Nations to enhance effective decision making for the benefit of all parties and ensuring First Nations culture and traditional activities are respected.

William Lake Nickel Project - Manitoba, Canada
During the quarter, the Company is focused on the completing low-cost value-added activities at the William Lake Nickel Sulphide Project. Leeuwin is currently carrying out a technical review with Glencore of its high-grade nickel and platinum group elements (PGE).
Key activities focused on compiling and interpretation of Leeuwin’s drilling completed in 2023, which returned results such as 21.9m at 1.02% nickel from 206.65m (WL23-367) and 6.5m at 2.56% nickel from 439.2m (WL23-365) for full results refer ASX, 4 September 2023. Results unlocked by Leeuwin identified high-grade nickel zones and extended known mineralisation over a 2km trend.

Ignace Lithium Project – Ontario, Canada
The Ignace Project (Ignace) is a greenfields lithium project in in the Kenora Mining District of Ontario, Canada. Ignace is proximal to Grid Metals Corp (TSXV:GRDM) which holds the Campus Creek Lithium Project.
Strategic review of Ignace is ongoing, with no exploration activities conducted during the March Quarter.
Western Australia Projects
Field activities commenced in early 2024 comprising reconnaissance field inspections and sampling on exploration ground in the Goldfields and Gascoyne regions of Western Australia. The results as reported on 23 April 2024 identified from soil sampling an encouraging 9.5km Rare Earth Elements (REE) soil anomaly in the Gascoyne.
The Company continues to monitor open ground in the Gascoyne and recently applied for additional tenure along strike of the current licences that Leeuwin holds in the Gascoyne region. Fieldwork occurred in the March quarter of 2024, following up on the multi-line soil anomaly with mapping and surface sampling; assays are currently pending.
