Managing Director, Christopher Piggott, commented:
“With the results received in the December quarter from our Cross Lake Lithium Project, we are very excited by the immense potential for discovery as we look forward to advancing the project in 2024. The project to date has shown promising indications of a large-scale mineralised system, situated in the up and coming province of Manitoba, Canada. An infrastructure-rich province, the project benefits from its proximity to a nearby provincial highway, hydro power availability and being only 100km from a rail line, each of which provide a significant advantage to any discovery.
We are looking forward to a transformative year for Leeuwin as we strive to create value for shareholders through 2024.”

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. The Company’s maiden field program during the quarter confirmed the presence of a significant pegmatite swam with multiple high-grade lithium assays received confirm 4.7km mineralised trend. Coupled with historical drilling where multiple, subparallel spodumene bearing Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites up to 20m thick over >400m strike length are observed (refer ASX, 15 November 2023).
Exploration
During the quarter the Company completed its first exploration campaign at Cross Lake, with surface sampling results (refer ASX, 13 December 2023) identifying over 20 spodumene-bearing pegmatites, extending known mineralisation of high-grade lithium to 4.7km.
Highlights include:
CLCH23-001: 4.8m @ 0.89% Li2O , 300ppm Cs, 165ppm Ta & 224ppm Sn CLCH23-003: 4.05m @ 0.83% Li2O , 348ppm Cs, 126ppm Ta & 106ppm Sn CLCH23-005: 1.15m @ 1.58% Li2O , 454ppm Cs, 106ppm Ta & 288ppm Sn CLCH23-020: 6m @ 0.83% Li2O , 270ppm Cs, 238ppm Ta & 87ppm Sn CLCH23-021: 7m @ 1.08% Li2O , 208ppm Cs, 49ppm Ta & 87ppm Sn CLCH23-022: 6.1m @ 1.75% Li2O , 243ppm Cs, 63ppm Ta & 91ppm Sn CLCH23-029: 2.3m @ 1.26% Li2O , 511ppm Cs, 210ppm Ta & 253ppm Sn, incl. 0.55m @ 4.31% Li2O CLRK00005: 4.09% Li2O (rock chip sample)

Resource Potential
During the quarter, the Company completed the resampling of historic drill holes that were never assayed for lithium. The final three holes demonstrate the continuity of high-grade lithium, consistent with the prior six holes (refer ASX, 15 November 2023). The results to date delineate a significant pegmatite swarm, currently defined by historical drilling over 400m of strike within a 4.7km highly prospective corridor.
Highlights include:
-
XL-17: 24.96m @ 1.09% Li2O from 6m; &
