Geological Information
Pilbara – The Pilgangoora Lithium Hotspot
The Pilbara region, where LIT has MoU’s with Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX: PLS) and Venus Metals Corporation Limited (ASX: VMC) is likely to produce a range of lithium minerals in the future. This will include low-grade spodumene, micas, and clays, which in the past may have been sub economic. All of these materials can be processed with the Sileach™ process. The broader objective of the partnerships is to determine if the potential exists for sufficient feedstock to feed a Pilbara lithium processing facility.
Electra JV (Sonora, Mexico)
The Electra project is a farmin and JV in which LIT can earn up to 65% of the project from its partner, TSX Venture listed Alix Resources Corporation (TSX-V: AIX) (Alix). The Sileach™ process, together with other processes will be tested on this project when materials are available.
Lepidolite Hill (Western Australia)
Lepidolite Hill is part of the Coolgardie Rare Metals Venture (LIT 80% and Focus Minerals [ASX: FML] 20%) and has been the subject of intensive metallurgical testing by LIT. The Sileach™ process is currently being evaluated on material from this deposit in anticipation of much improved leach times, potentially providing for reduced plant size and capital costs for deposits of this type.
Greenbushes (LIT 80%)
In October 2015, the Company applied for several exploration licences in and around Greenbushes from where approximately 40% of world supply of lithium is sourced. This area covers a 50km structural trend which is highly prospective for lithium pegmatites. Subsequent to March 2016 Quarter end, LIT advised ASX that the first exploration licence had been granted and exploration work commenced.
The area covered by E70/4778 is very prospective for lithium mineralization, as are the other LIT application areas, within which numerous pegmatites have been identified.
Ravensthorpe (LIT 100%)
LIT holds exploration licence E74/0543 with an area of 70km[2 ] and covering a 20km long structural trend which is highly prospective for lithium pegmatites. The corridor extends southwest from the Mt Cattlin lithium and tantalum hard rock operations of Galaxy Resources Limited and General Mining which are currently being commissioned. The project is well supported by established transport routes, nearby infrastructure and services at Ravensthorpe. The large, deep water port of Esperance is 185km east of Ravensthorpe.
Recent fieldwork at LIT’s Ravensthorpe Lithium Project has resulted in the discovery of several additional lithium pegmatites. It is now established that there are at least 12 lithium pegmatites present giving the project significant economic potential.
It is proposed that the funds raised will be used to continue exploration and to conduct a pilot plant test in regard to its Sileach™ process currently estimated at $1,000,000 in the short term.
Directors’ Disclosure
The Directors of the Company do not hold any LITCC.
If you have any questions about the Call that are not answered by the ASX releases, you should consult your accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding to invest.
Yours faithfully
“Adrian Griffin”
