ASX Release

EXPLORATION UPDATE ON THE LITHIUM EXPLORATION IN THE EAST PILBARA

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drill Pad clearing has commenced Sisters Lithium Project with the completion of 18 drill pads for the upcoming drilling program.

  • The first stage drilling will target the spodumene rich lithium bearing pegmatites delineated at south-eastern portion of the tenement.

  • Heritage Surveys commenced over the Tambourah North Lithium Project between the Palyku-Jartayi Traditional Landowners and MinRex Resources.

  • Upon Heritage Survey final approvals MinRex will commence drill pad preparation for the RC drilling program to target the spodumene rich lithium bearing pegmatites located in the northern portion of the tenement area.

  • RC Drilling and reconnaissance sampling progressing over the Coondina, Shaw River and Talga Lithium-Tin-Tantalum projects.

  • To date, over 1,000m have been completed with assays pending to be dispatched to Perth Labs in Perth.

MinRex Resources Limited ( ASX: MRR ) (“ MinRex ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to announce an exploration update on the status of the ground drill site clearing, Native Title Heritage Surveys and the RC drilling programme currently underway at the Shaw River Lithium-Tin-Tantalum Projects.

MinRex Resources Limited Managing Director Mr Karageorge commented:

“Based on our aggressive ground exploration strategy, we are continuing to drill our Shaw River Lithium Tin-Tantalum Projects with a view of finalising the drilling in the upcoming weeks. We have also commenced the drill site preparation over our Sisters Projects near Marble Bar Township with a view to drilling the high-grade lithium mineralisation in the next 2-3 weeks. The Tambourah North Native Title Heritage Survey also has now been completed with the Palyku Traditional Landowners with MinRex currently waiting on the survey findings and approval for drilling to commence upon completion of the back-to-back drill programs currently underway”.

Sisters Lithium Project

The Sisters Project is situated 1.75km east of Global Lithium Ltd Archer Lithium Deposit which hosts 10.5Mt @ 1.0% Li2O. The project hosts the same greenstone belt as the Archer Deposit. Reconnaissance concentrated on the identification of outcropping lithium rich pegmatites between the greenstone belt and the Homeward Granite contact areas.

Extensive pegmatites were delineated within granite-greenstone “goldilocks zone “. These zones are typical of all major lithium deposits in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Two zones of spodumene rich pegmatites were located in the southern zone of E45/5871 striking in a north-south direction with the greenstone lithology.

On the 2 August, the Company announced the high-grade rock chip sample results which yielded 3.42% Li2O, 1.59% Li, 105 ppm Cs, 80 ppm Ta, 120 ppm Nb, 130 ppm Sn, 1,980 ppm Rb from the stacked pegmatites. Drilling will initially concentrate around the newly identified lithium-rich pegmatites with a view of completing approximately 4,000m of drilling in late August.
