  • Appointment of Ian Goldberg as Chief Financial Officer and Joint Company Secretary.

  • Agreement to extend Farvic Transaction, allowing Prospect to increase its equity in the Arcadia Lithium Project to 87%, subject to Prospect shareholder approval.

  • Subsequent to the quarter, the Company:

  • Completed a successful capital raise of A$6.5m (before costs) to fund the Farvic transaction, progress project funding and for general working capital; and

  • Provided a progress update on the Pilot Plant, confirming approximately 70% of the EPC scope is complete and that it remains on schedule and on budget to achieve first shipment of high purity petalite samples by end of Q2 CY2021.

Managing Director and CEO, Sam Hosack, commented: “We are pleased to say that the March 2021 quarter, along with the beginning of the current quarter, has been a period of substantial progress for Prospect. We now have a clear, staged and lower risk pathway to progress the Arcadia Lithium Project towards development, construction and targeted high margin lithium production.

High purity technical grade petalite pilot plant

The Company has focussed the pilot plant on producing high purity, technical grade petalite using Dense Media Separation ( DMS ) in accordance with Arcadia’s existing Feasibility Study flowsheet. The DMS flowsheet is considered the lower risk pathway to near-term production, as determined through detailed analysis by management and a number of external third-party experts.

The samples will also provide market recognition and price discovery within the premium high purity Petalite market, which is key to securing project funding and supporting investor confidence. The Pilot Plant allows Prospect to provide industrial scale samples to potential offtake counterparties for their own product validation purposes and their continuing due diligence on Prospect and the Arcadia Lithium Project.

The Pilot Plant is considered a key asset for the Company. Its operation alongside future commercial operations are considered vital as it will allow for geo-metallurgical confirmation and optimisation for each ore type prior to feed into the commercial operation.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company provided an update that the Pilot Plant remains on schedule and within budget. Approximately 70% of the EPC scope is complete, including:

  • 100% of flowsheet and detailed engineering design completed;

  • 100% of procurement completed (including DMS unit and crushing modules delivered);

  • 90% of non-process infrastructure completed (i.e., laboratory and site accommodation).

  • 75% of modular equipment pre-assembly and 25% factory acceptance tested for DMS and crushing modules;

  • 75% of power supply completed (i.e., transformer and electrical reticulation).

  • 75% of mining contractor mobilisation achieved; and

  • 50% earthworks and civils completed.

Staged Development and Optimised Feasibility Study

In pursuit of a higher certainty flowsheet delivering a lower risk pathway to production, the Company has assessed advancement of the Arcadia Lithium Project in two stages. This development strategy allows risks to be managed progressively, reduces upfront capital, supports a reduced execution period and will be undertaken with the objective to ultimately reach the nameplate capacity of 2.4Mtpa outlined in the Feasibility Study announced on 19 December 2019.

For this reason, the first stage of the Arcadia Project is planned to have a capacity of 1.2Mtpa and will maximise the modularisation of equipment, providing the ability to readily scale to nameplate capacity of 2.4Mtpa. The staged development approach is motivated by reduced time to market, lower initial capital expenditure and creating shareholder value by delivering a lower risk execution plan.

The Company has appointed Perth based engineering consulting group, Lycopodium Ltd ( Lycopodium ) to complete an Optimised Feasibility Study for the staged development plan. Lycopodium is a good fit given its past relationship with the Company and familiarity with the Arcadia Project, as well as being leaders in Australia and Africa in designing and costing process plants, and implementing projects across a wide range of commodities, including lithium.

Lycopodium’s primary Scope of Work is the supervision of metallurgical testwork, optimisation of the staged 1.2Mtpa to 2.4Mtpa flowsheet, design for the process plant, as well as related infrastructure including site power reticulation and on-site water treatment and distribution. The engineering work during this stage will enable formal quotations to be secured from the market, in order to define the Project CAPEX to a Feasibility Study level of accuracy (+/-15%).

The Optimised Feasibility Study will include:

  • Substantial Front-End Engineering and Design ( FEED );

  • Evaluation of modular potential to reduce development and operational risk;

  • Review of market pricing for Spodumene and Petalite products;

  • Reduction of execution schedule risk by providing greater accuracy on key equipment selection and sizing; and

  • Analysis of resultant project economics.

The Optimised Feasibility Study is expected to be completed in Q3 CY2021.

Lithium Market Commentary

The quarter saw a further strengthening in both lithium demand and pricing, continuing the market rebound that commenced in late 2020. A strong uplift in lithium chemical prices has been seen, with the largest increase occurring within China. Independent price reporting agencies have reported spodumene concentrate pricing in the range of US$550-700/t CIF China.

Appointments of experienced Non-Executive Chairman & Chief Financial Officer

On 11 January 2021, the Company announced it had appointed Mr Mark Wheatley as independent NonExecutive Chairman of the Board, effective immediately.

Mr Wheatley is a highly experienced mining executive who also has over 15 years of Director and Chairman experience, with exposure predominantly across gold, copper and uranium sectors. Mr Wheatley has previously held Non-Executive Chairman positions with Norton Gold Fields Limited (ASX: NGF), Xanadu Mines Ltd (ASX: XAM) and Gold One International Limited (ASX: GDO). Mr Wheatley has also held a number of Non-Executive Director roles including St Barbara Limited (ASX: SBM) and was a founding director of Uranium One Inc., with his 5 year tenure including a successful period of growth culminating in Russian state owned, Rosatom, earning a 51% equity position.

On the 8 February 2021, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Ian Goldberg as Chief Financial Offer and Joint Company Secretary.

The appointment of Mr Goldberg, a chartered accountant and finance professional with more than 20 years' experience in the resources sector, is a key addition to Prospect's senior leadership team as the Company finalises offtake and progresses project finance for the world-class Arcadia Lithium Project.

Mr Goldberg brings a strong commercial capability having led early-stage developments through project finance and into operations. His most recent role was CFO for Tiger Resources, a copper producer in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Prior to that role, he held a number of CFO positions at producing mining companies across Africa and Australia.

Value Accretive Farvic Transaction Extended

The Company is pleased to have extended to 31 December 2021 its conditional agreement with Farvic Consolidated Mines Pvt Ltd ( Farvic ) to increase its ownership in the Arcadia Lithium Project from 70% to 87%.

Under the agreement, Farvic has agreed to transfer the shares it holds in Prospect Lithium Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd ( PLZ ) (holder of the Arcadia Lithium Project) to Prospect Minerals Pte Ltd, a wholly owned

subsidiary of the Company. In consideration for the transfer of shares in PLZ, the Company will issue 9,497,680 fully paid ordinary shares to Farvic, representing a dilution to existing Prospect shareholders of approximately 4.8%, and pay Farvic A$1,187,210 in cash. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company’s equity interest in PLZ will increase from 70% to 87%.

Currently, Prospect ‘free carries’ the other shareholders in PLZ to production, meaning that Prospect funds 100% of the project expenditure. The outcome of this transaction is that Prospect increases its share of future revenues and profits from the Arcadia Lithium Project by 17% to 87% without an increase in expenditure (or risk) and thus is expected to be significantly accretive to Prospect shareholders.

The shares issued to Farvic will be subject to a voluntary escrow, with 25% of the shares being released every 6 months, subject to any additional escrow imposed by ASX. The transaction has been approved by the Zimbabwe Reserve Bank as announced on 19 July 2020 and is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including the Company obtaining shareholder approval in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

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. During the quarter, the Company undertook soil sampling at the Chishanya Rare Earth Project to provide an initial assessment of this projects prospectively. Approximately 2,400 samples were collected and sieved, prior to being dispatched for REE analysis by SGS. Preliminary results are encouraging, and the Company will provide an update in due course.

The Company’s subsidiary, Hawkmoth Mining & Exploration (Pvt) Ltd ( Hawkmoth ), has an option to purchase the adjoining 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 has been paid, and an optional final payment of US$15,000 on completion. Hawkmoth may exercise the option at any time up to 5 August 2021.
