QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT – 30 June 2021

Prospect Resources Ltd (ASX: PSC) (Prospect or the Company) is leveraging its world class asset, the Arcadia Lithium Project (Arcadia Project), to develop a sustainable, low cost, large scale lithium business. Prospect is pleased to report on activities undertaken in the June 2021 quarter and its financial position at the end of the period.

Project Development

  • Arcadia Pilot Plant constructed and commenced production.
  • Pilot Plant officially opened by guest of honour, the Minister of Mines & Mining Development, Hon. Winston Chitando.
  • Arcadia Optimised Feasibility Study progressing well and on track for completion in Q3 CY2021.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, petalite concentrate and spodumene samples are being produced for distribution to customers and strategic groups .

Financial & Corporate

  • As at 30 June 2021, Prospect was debt free with a cash balance of A$7.9M.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, Prospect completed the transaction to increase its interest in the Arcadia Lithium Project to 87%.

Managing Director, Sam Hosack, commented: "The June 2021 quarter was one of significant milestones for Prospect and the Arcadia Project. Successful construction and commissioning of the Arcadia Pilot Plant, with first output produced during the quarter, has demonstrated the execution abilities of the incountry team. We are also dispatching lab-prepared spodumene concentrate samples to a range of strategic groups across Japan, China, and Europe. In July, we completed the Farvic transaction, increasing Prospect's ownership in Arcadia to 87%."

"Through 2021, we have been focused on defining and delivering on a clear pathway to becoming a near term high purity lithium producer. To date we have achieved our milestones and our focus is now resolutely on achieving qualification with customers, completion of the Optimised Feasibility Study and development of the Arcadia Lithium Project".

Arcadia Pilot Plant and Technical Petalite Sample Production

On 25 June 2021, Prospect announced the completion of construction and commissioning, and the commencement of production, at the Arcadia Pilot Plant. The construction and operation of the Pilot Plant is purposed to the production of high purity petalite concentrate samples for Prospect's long-term technical petalite customer base.

Company personnel have successfully delivered the Pilot Plant through design, construction, commissioning, and into production, both on schedule and on budget.

Throughout the technical development of Arcadia, Prospect Resources has undertaken extensive metallurgical testwork to optimise Dense Media Separation (DMS) recovery, efficiency, and product quality. A key outcome of the testwork supported a split DMS concept in which coarse and fines fractions are handled separately using a two-stage DMS consisting of 'rougher' and 'cleaner' steps with the coarse fraction targeted at producing high purity technical grade petalite product.

The Arcadia Pilot Plant design accordingly embraced these design outcomes and implemented a 2 stage crushing plant and a single stage DMS unit (Figure 1) that would operate in batch mode, first as a rougher and second as a cleaner in order to produce technical grade petalite.

Prospect Resources Limited | ACN 124 354 329 | W: prospectresources.com.au

Operating the pilot plant has allowed for substantial operational learnings from blast and haul techniques (Figure 2) through to material handling to minimise contamination and increase productivity. Technical learnings have been derived from a broad adaptation of the operating conditions, allowing the team to characterise metallurgical behaviour across permutations of plant operating conditions.

Figure 2 – Arcadia open pit being utilised for the pilot plant

Arcadia's pilot plant (Figure 3) proximity to Harare, where there are suppliers of spares and service providers, produced very short equipment turnaround time and indeed showcased the unique advantage of the site location. This was vital in securing critical components that needed to be replaced during the pilot plant commissioning phase with minimal delays.

Prospect Resources Limited | ACN 124 354 329 | W: prospectresources.com.au

The pilot plant optimisation has now been successfully completed and a 270 kg sample of technical grade petalite has been produced that has met specification as confirmed by a renowned independent metallurgical testing company in South Africa.

Prospect is now set to produce and ship sizeable volumes of technical grade petalite concentrate product to both Sibelco and Sinomine for on-delivery to customers across Europe and Asia. These parties are planning to use the samples in their respective production runs to undertake product qualification processes through the second half of 2021.

Optimised Feasibility Study

Work on the Optimised Feasibility Study (OFS) for the Arcadia Project continued during the quarter, led by external study manager, Lycopodium Minerals.

The OFS is being advanced, and is set to be completed, on a dual-track basis. Two development pathways for the Arcadia Project are being evaluated and are set to be presented in the OFS:

  • The current case, single-stage development to a 2.4 Mtpa throughput operation. This approach provides the greatest development efficiencies and highest aggregate returns, and is planned to be pursued should market conditions and funding activities allow it.
  • Two-stage development to 2.4 Mtpa throughput, via 1.2 Mtpa modules staged within the first 5 years. This approach provides a lower upfront capital pathway to production and allows project and market risks to be managed progressively.

The OFS process is seeking to optimise the flowsheet and design of the process plant and associated infrastructure to a +/-15% level of accuracy for both development cases, building on the technical assessments undertaken in the Arcadia Feasibility Study (2019).

The OFS remains on track for completion in Q3 CY2021.

Value Accretive Farvic Transaction Completed

Post quarter end, Prospect completed the transaction to increase its ownership in the Arcadia Project by 17% to 87%. Following receipt of requisite approvals (including Prospect shareholder approval), completion of this transaction resulted in the issue of 9,497,680 new fully paid Prospect ordinary shares and the payment of A$1,187,210 cash to Farvic Consolidated Mines Pvt Ltd (Farvic).

The shares issued to Farvic are subject to a voluntary escrow, with 25% of the shares set to be released every 6 months.

Spodumene concentrate samples produced

Post quarter end, Prospect announced that it had lab-produced 25kg of spodumene concentrate from core samples collected from the Arcadia Project.

Sample assays have confirmed the high purity nature of the spodumene concentrate produced from the Arcadia Project (see ASX release dated 20 July 2021). Table 1 outlines the average sample composition, including a plus-6% Li2O concentrate grade.

Product Li2O Fe2O3
Spodumene concentrate 6.08% 0.46%

Table 1: Spodumene Concentrate (SC6) Product

Representative samples of the lower main pegmatite (LMP) drill core were extracted from inventory for spodumene sample production. LMP contributes a significant portion of the Arcadia ore feed for the first 5 years of operation and constitutes greater than 63% of the total Arcadia ore body.

The spodumene concentrate product samples have been produced for supply to, and potential qualification with, strategic groups across Japan, China, and Europe. Prospect has been progressing engagement with a range of these groups that have an interest in spodumene concentrate offtake and assisting with development of the Arcadia Project. The shipment of these samples is being coordinated over the next few weeks.

Corporate/Finance

Prospect finished the quarter with a cash balance as at 30 June 2021 of A$7.9M

In addition, Prospect has a US$10m funding commitment from offtake partner Sinomine, which is triggered when the ball mill for Arcadia has been delivered and bolt installed.

Major spend items during the June quarter were costs relating to the Pilot Plant and Optimised Feasibility Study.

Chishanya Rare Earth Project

In line with the Company's strategy, Prospect continues to seek opportunities to generate value out of its non-core assets.

In February 2021, the Company's subsidiary, Hawkmoth Mining & Exploration (Pvt) Ltd (Hawkmoth), agreed an option to purchase the Chishanya tenements from the Meikle Mining Syndicate (Meikle) for US$30,000 payable in two instalments comprising a non-refundable deposit of US$15,000, which was paid on signing, and a final instalment of US$15,000 payable on completion.

The Meikle tenements are adjoining Prospect's existing tenements. The Company undertook a soil sampling program across both Prospect's tenements and Meikle's tenements and the assay results received are currently being analysed.

Prospect currently owns 70% of Hawkmoth. The remaining 30% is currently owned by Farvic Consolidated Mines (Private) Limited.

Penhalonga Gold Project

On 8 December 2020, Prospect announced that Luzich Partners LLC (Luzich) paid the non-refundable deposit of US$200,000 in accordance with its option to purchase the Penhalonga Gold Project (as announced on 23 October 2020).

Under the option agreement, both parties have agreed to extend the option for a further non-refundable consideration of US$50,000. Luzich are continuing due diligence and will pay further consideration of US$750,000 if it elects to exercise the option. The due diligence period now expires on the 3 September 2021.

Remuneration Update

In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company announced a Share Rights Issue (Offer) to raise capital where the Prospect Board and management invested and partially underwrote the Offer (see ASX release dated 3 April 2020). In addition to the capital raise, cost saving initiatives and redundancies were enacted in order to prudently manage capital in what was a time of great uncertainty. In line with commitments from the Board and management, salaries of Directors and remaining staff were reduced by up to 50%.

Following the General Meeting held on 25 June 2021 (see ASX release dated 25 May 2021, Notice of General Meeting), salaries of the management team and executive directors were restored to their full rate, effective 1 July 2021.
