Hawkstone commenced trading on the US-based OTCQB market under the code of OTCQB: HWKMF further enhancing the visibility and accessibility of the Company to US investors
-
Bench scale metallurgical test work of lithium mineralised material from Big Sandy is ongoing with preliminary beneficiation results indicating a possible 1.5x to 2x concentration, with 88% of the lithium and only 0.6% of the carbonate reported in 48% of the original mass[2]
-
BLM decision on POE (Permit of Exploration) enabling the Company to complete further resource definition drilling and bulk sampling at Big Sandy awaited
Hawkstone Mining Limited ( ASX:HWK ) (“ Hawkstone” or the “Company” ) is pleased to provide an update an overview of the Company’s activities for the period ending 30 June 2021 (“ Quarter ”, “ Reporting Period ”).
Hawkstone Mining Managing Director, Paul Lloyd, commented: “ The June Quarter was highlighted by successful beneficiation test work on mineralised material from the Big Sandy Lithium Project, indicating a potential significant pre-treatment mass reduction. This follows the successful production of 99.8% battery grade lithium in the March 2021 quarter.
Hawkstone also progressed its plan to spin-out the Company’s significant gold and gold-copper assets to form a separate company, Diablo Resources Ltd, to be listed on the ASX, reflecting a change in strategic focus as we continue to advance the Big Sandy Lithium Project”.
BIG SANDY LITHIUM PROJECT
Hawkstone is well positioned with its Big Sandy Sedimentary Lithium Project (“ Big Sandy ”, “ Project ”) strategically located in Arizona (ranked #2 by 2020 Fraser Institutes Mining Survey) halfway between Phoenix and Las Vegas, Nevada (Figure 1). The location, coupled with the ongoing advances by Hazen Research Inc (“ Hazen ”) on the metallurgical front, positions the Project squarely in the front of a rising tide in demand and price in the lithium market.

Metallurgical Test Work
Lone Pine Gold Project
Hawkstone successfully completed its initial metallurgical testing program with Hazen on the lithium-mineralised sedimentary material from Big Sandy, achieving the goal of high lithium recoveries producing “battery grade” 99.8% Li2CO3.
Western Desert Gold-Copper Project
Hawkstone is conducting an extended bench-scale and concurrent demonstration plant design program at Hazen. Ongoing test work has demonstrated beneficiation results indicating a possible 1.5x to 2x concentration, with 88% of the lithium and only 0.6% of the carbonate reported in 48% of the original mass[2] . This testing and design work will be used to develop a flowsheet and form a design basis for a full-scale operation to bring Big Sandy to commercial production. A scalable, continuous demonstration plant design will be developed enabling additional technology development, testing of different ore types, and in support of project financing requirements.

Lordsburg Lithium Project
Figure 1 – Project Location Map
The hydrometallurgical process that Hazen is evaluating involves sulphuric acid leaching, leach solution purification, and the subsequent production of 99.8% Li2CO3 used in the production of lithium-ion batteries. The process is straightforward, environmentally-superior to peer developments, and is based on proven unit operations. Hawkstone will continually assess process improvements including those achieved during the initial testing program, with the initial test work demonstrating that the present flowsheet is a viable approach for the development of the Big Sandy resource.
Resources and Exploration Target
Hawkstone’s successful 2019 drill program at Big Sandy resulted in the estimation of a total Indicated and Inferred JORC resource of 32.5 million tonnes grading 1,850 ppm Li for 320,800 tonnes Li2CO3[3] .
This represents 4% of the Big Sandy Project area that contains an estimated exploration target of between *[4] 271.1Mt to 483.15Mt at 1,000 - >2,000ppm Li .
* Note: the potential quantity and grade of the estimated geological potential (Exploration Target) is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource and it is uncertain whether future exploration will result in the definition of a mineral resource. It has been estimated using a range of thicknesses for the mineralised sediments calculated from drill intercepts, surface sampling and geological mapping. The grade estimates a range of values demonstrated from drilling and surface sampling.

LORDSBURG LITHIUM BRINE PROJECT
During the Reporting Period, a strategic review was commenced on the Lordsburg Lithium Brine Project (“ Lordsburg Project ”) located 15km to the southwest of the town of Lordsburg, New Mexico, within the playa lake system at the northernmost end of the Animas Valley. Stock wells on the eastern Animas basin margin, south of the Lordsburg Project, intersected steam and hot springs essential in the development of lithium bearing brines. A 1954 US Geologic Survey map shows a windmill just west of the Lordsburg Project, on the western basin margin, labelled as a "salt well" demonstrating the presence of highly saline subterranean water.
Previous surface sampling on the playa has returned values up to 160 ppm Li[5] .
‐ An exploration program consisting of CSAMT (Controlled Source Audio frequency Magnetotellurics) in conjunction with passive seismics will be utilised to map potentially lithium mineralised brines prior to drill testing. Similar geophysical methods have been used with success by Galan Lithium Limited on their Hombre Muerto Project in Argentina[6] .
DEVIL’S CANYON GOLD-COPPER PROJECT
Devil’s Canyon Gold-Copper Project (“ Devil’s Canyon ”) is located in the prolific Carlin Gold Trend covering 7.28km[2 ] located 20km west of Kinross’s Bald Mountain Gold Mine (5.95Moz Au) and 40km north of Barrick’s Ruby Hill Gold Mine (1.6Moz Au) (Figures 1 & 2)[7] .
Regional Geology
Devil’s Canyon is underlain by a sequence of Palaeozoic sediments deposited on a passive continental margin with later compressional tectonics establishing a favourable structural regime of steeply dipping fluid conduits, shallow, low dipping “traps” and reactive calcareous host rocks . North-northwest trending normal faults and northeast trending transform faults control the regional position, orientation, and alignment of the gold mineralisation in the Carlin and Battle Mountain gold trends.

LONE PINE GOLD PROJECT
Hawkstone’s 100% owned Lone Pine Project (“ Lone Pine ”) comprises two Patented Mining Claims and a further 268 BLM lode claims covering an area of approximately 21.85 km[2] , ten kilometres west of Salmon, Lemhi County, Idaho. This includes the adjoining historical King Solomon Mine (“ KSM ”) acquired in August 2020.
Lone Pine and KSM lie 16km and 8km east respectively of the Arnett Creek and Beartrack Mine. Beartrack produced 600,000 oz Au up to the year 2000 from resources totalling 1.98 million ounces Au, and was closed due to a declining gold price[11] .
Arnett Creek and Beartrack are being explored by Revival Gold Inc TSX.V:RVG

Figure 5 – Regional Project Map
History
Gold was discovered at Lone Pine in 1882, with the majority of the development work completed on the Lone Pine vein zone prior to 1907, including six adits and a shallow shaft. A 10 stamp mill was constructed in 1907 and was operated intermittently for six months[12] .

12 HWK Announcement, June 15, 2021, Acquisition of Historical High-Grade Lone Pine Gold Project, Idaho, USA
Ground Floor, 24 Outram Street, West Perth WA 6005
KSM, located 900m to the southeast of the Lone Pine vein zone, was reportedly mined for high grade gold between 1890 and 1910. In 1990, Teck Resources completed exploration including 23 RC drill holes, intersecting 48.8m @ 1.52g/t Au including a higher-grade zone of 16.8m @ 3.42g/t Au[13] .
Geology
Lone Pine lies in the Trans-Challis Fault System, a broad northeast-trending structural system that has been traced for 300 km across the centre of the state of Idaho, with 2.9 million ounces of gold produced from this fault system from 1863-1980, more gold than any other mining locality in Idaho.
Lone Pine contains precious metal occurrences spatially and genetically related to the Eocene age Trans-Challis Fault System, a major zone of rifting and crustal extension. The mineralised quartz-filled structure/shear hosting the Lone Pine vein zone is associated with a steeply dipping, NE striking contact between granitoid and sediments.
