Competent Person’s Statement and Disclaimer:
The Information in this report that relates to the Exploration Results for the Kathleen Valley Project is extracted from the ASX announcement entitled “Liontown intersects strong lithium and tantalum mineralisation in maiden drill program at Kathleen Valley, WA” released on the 20th March 2017 which is available on www.ltresources.com.au.
The Information in this report that relates to the Exploration Results for the Buldania and Norcott Projects is extracted from the ASX announcements entitled “Liontown acquires highly prospective lithium projects in WA’s Eastern Goldfields” and “Surface samples of up to 4.6% Li2O confirm widespread lithium mineralisation at the Buldania Lithium Project, WA” released on the 23rd and 30th October 2017 respectively which are available on www.ltresources.com.au.
The Information in this report that relates to Exploration Results for the RJC Vanadium Project is extracted from the ASX announcements entitled “Quarterly activities report For the Quarter ended 30 June 2017” released on the 27th July 2017 which is available on www.ltresources.com.au .
The company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.
The Information in this report that relates to Exploration Targets is based on and fairly represents information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr David Richards, who is a Competent Person and a member of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG). Mr Richards is a full-time employee of the company. The potential tonnage and grade ranges are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
This report contains forward-looking statements which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward looking statements are expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. These statements reflect current expectations, intentions or strategies regarding the future and assumptions based on currently available information. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary from the expectations, intentions and strategies described in this announcement. No obligation is assumed to update forward looking statements if these beliefs, opinions and estimates should change or to reflect other future developments.
