ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 6 November 2023
POTENTIAL PEGMATITE OUTCROPS IDENTIFIED AT RADISSON EAST AND SAKAMI LITHIUM PROJECTS
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Analysis of high‐resolution satellite imagery covering the Radisson East and Sakami Lithium Projects in James Bay has identified a significant number of potential Lithium‐ Caesium‐Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite outcrops
- Several high priority exploration targets are confirmed for follow‐up
- The Sakami South claim package shows the highest prospectivity and is underlain by geological units that are highly prospective for hosting LCT pegmatites
- Radisson East and Sakami Projects have a combined area of 90km2 and cover more than 50km of highly prospective greenstone belt with coincident Li‐in‐lake anomalism and are host to several known pegmatite occurrences and outcrops
- Within Canada, spodumene dykes have been found in every major greenstone belt
- A preliminary field programme will be completed to assess the highest prospectivity areas, verify the presence of pegmatite outcrops and test for lithium mineralisation
- The targeted field programme will include mapping, outcrop sampling, and geochemical sampling over the initial targets
- Radisson East and Sakami are located in the prolific James Bay Lithium District near:
- o Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (ASX:PMT, TSXV:PMET) Corvette Project (~170km east)
- o Winsome R e source s Ltd (AS X: WR1) Cance t Project (100km east)
- o Q2 Metals Corp (TSXV: QTWO) Mia Lithium Property (~40km southwest)
- The Sakami Project (68 km2 ) lies within the La Grande sub‐province situated approximately 14 km north of the boundary between the La Grande and Opinaca sub‐ provinces, in a similar geological setting as the Corvette (Patriot Battery Metals), Cancet (Winsome Resources Ltd.) and Adina (Winsome Resources Ltd.) lithium deposits, which all occur 10 to 20 km north of the boundary
- The Radisson East Project (22 km2 ) lies within the La Grande sub‐province and 55 kilometres to the northeast of Q2 Metals Corp.'s Mia Lithium Project

Redstone Resources Ltd (ASX: RDS) (Redstone or the Company) is pleased to announce that recently completed multispectral analysis has identified several areas of potential pegmatite outcrop within the Radisson East and Sakami Lithium Projects in James Bay, Québec.
Redstone engaged consultant Dr. Neil Pendock (Dirt Exploration) to complete multispectral analysis of data collected from Sentinel‐2 in 2021 along with ALOS‐1 satellite in 2009 over the Radisson East and Sakami Lithium Projects. Pleasingly, Redstone can confirm the identification of mapped areas over the two Projects corresponding to several exploration targets interpreted to potentially correspond to Lithium‐Caesium‐Tantalum (LCT) Pegmatites.
The Radisson East Lithium Project (Radisson East) is comprised of two claim packages totalling 43 individual claims and covering an area of 21.9 km2. The Sakami Lithium Project (Sakami) is comprised of three claim packages totalling 134 individual mineral claims and covering an area of 67.8 km2. Both Projects are located in the James Bay Region of west‐central Québec, Canada; a world‐class and prolific lithium district that is host to several advanced lithium projects and new lithium discoveries.
Management Commentary
Commenting on the identification of potential pegmatite outcrops within Redstone's James Bay Projects, Redstone's Chairman Richard Homsany said:
"We are encouraged by the outcomesfrom the multispectral analysis which clearly shows the strong potential for LCT mineralised pegmatites to be hosted within our James Bay tenement package.
Following these positive indications, our initial follow‐up field campaign will aim to further test these priority target areasfor lithium mineralisation ahead of a maiden drilling programme.
The Radisson East and Sakami Projects, combined with our recent acquisition of additional projects in James Bay and Northwest Ontario, provide Redstone with a significant foundation to build a high quality lithium exploration and development businessin a Tier‐1 mining jurisdiction. We look forward to reporting updates from our pipeline of exploration and evaluation activity."
Multispectral Analysis Summary
Satellite‐derived hyperspectral data can detect rocks of interest that lie on the surface, or buried a few centimetres below the surface beneath vegetation, soil, or till. This technique is very useful in the James Bay region because the area is heavily vegetated.
The exploration targets were generated by training a multivariate statistical classifier. The training was completed using 562 rock chip samples with assays of lithium (Li ppm) >0 from a government dataset. The rock chip samples were located within the Projects and in the immediate surrounding area. The classifier identified a digital fingerprint correlated with the lithium response in the area of interest surrounding the Radisson East and Sakami Projects.
From the hyperspectral analyses, spectral unmixing of visible/near‐infrared [VNIZ] and shortwave infrared [SWIR] data from Sentinel 2 identified four spectral endmembers that correlated with the Li‐containing rock chips(Figure 1 and 2). The spectral endmembersincluded spodumene, quartz, zoisite, and rhodonite. Areas of high interest were generated across all 5 claim packages and are shown as heat maps in Figures 1 and 2.
Additionally, Dr. Pendock documents that the Li‐containing rocks chips are located in regions of low dielectric constant [DC] as identified from synthetic aperture radar [SAR]. The area of interest shows as overall very conductive due to the presence of lakes, bogs and vegetation which all have high DCs. Areas of low DC have been identified across all 5 claim packages and are potentially indicative of the presence of pegmatitic bodies.

Heat mapsfor areas of high interest are in provided for spectral unmixing (bottom right; endmembers spodumene, quartz, zoisite, and rhodonite) and gas emissions (bottom left; methane). High priority targets are shown as purple and red circles.

A review of satellite imagery (visible light) has identified several prominent "white" patches, a characteristic visual signature of pegmatite/granite outcrops, correlating with the high interest target areas.
A thorough review of the hyperspectral work has resulted in the identification of high priority targets that require follow‐up field examination, these are shown by the blue and purple symbols in Figures 1 and 2. The Sakami Project, specifically Sakami South, shows the highest prospectivity across the claim packages.
The Sakami claims are underlain by a north‐south trending basalt‐derived amphibolite and iron formations, as well as tonalitic gneiss with biotite. Within the Canadian setting, spodumene dykes have been found in every major greenstone belt and usually occur near the upper contacts between late‐stage granitic intrusive masses and metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks1. As an example, the lithium pegmatites of Patriot's CV5 deposit are hosted predominantly within amphibolites, metasediments, and lesser ultramafics2.
ABOUT RADISSON EAST AND SAKAMI PROJECTS
The Radisson East Lithium Project is comprised of two claim packages totalling 43 individual claims and covering an area of 21.9 km2. The Sakami Lithium Project (Sakami) is comprised of three claim packages totalling 134 individual mineral claims and covering an area of 67.8 km2.
Radisson East sits along the east Duncan Range and covers geology described as east‐west trending interbedded volcanic and sedimentary strata of Precambrian age. The area is prospective for hosting hard‐rock, pegmatite‐hosted lithium mineralisation with appropriate indicator‐mineralogy for hosting spodumene‐bearing pegmatites, within favourable host‐rocks. The Project islessthan 300 m from a major Provincial highway and isin close proximity to power providing ideal access during planned field programmes.
Radisson East shares its western border with Québec‐focused Azimut Exploration Inc. (TSXV:AZM) and Century Duncan Mining.
Sakami, approximately 60 km east of Radisson East, is host to extensive and prolific greenstone belts. These are coincident with a belt of strongly elevated Li‐in‐lake readings, where the majority of samples proximal to Sakami returned >95% percentile for the entire 500,000‐plus provincial sediment sampling database. Publicly availably provincial data indicate the presence of coarse‐grained pegmatites within the Project area. Publicly available 1st derivative (DV1) magnetic products at a regional scale highlight the presence of a significant north to northeast trending magnetic feature (believed to be representative of greenstones), which runs through the centre of the Project with a circular feature, interpreted as a possible intrusion, located near to the northeastern Project border.
Sakami shares its northeastern border with Québec‐focused Azimut Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AZM) which is also focused on lithium exploration within the prolific James Bay lithium district.
