David Lenigas, Southern Hemisphere Mining’s Chairman, said;
“There are a number of big lithium projects being developed in the Pilbara Region at the moment, and this deal gets SUH directly in to a very large and highly prospective tenement package in the heart of Australia’s “Lithiumville”. Excellent lithium grades have already been discovered in the right sort of mineralised environments and we see excellent potential to grow our lithium footprint in this unique lithium environment.”
Southern Hemisphere Mining (ASX:SUH) is pleased to announce that it has signed agreements to jointly acquire the 100% of both the Marble Bar Lithium Project and Pippingarra Lithium Project in Western Australia (“Projects”) through a 50/50 joint venture with Macarthur Minerals Limited (TSXV:MMS) (“MMS”).
The Company and MMS (jointly) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Great Sandy Pty Ltd (‘Great Sandy’), a private Australian company controlled by Denis O’Meara, that will serve as a framework to acquire the Projects under a Purchase Agreement, to acquire:
-
The Marble Bar Lithium project consisting of four granted Exploration Licences (E45/4669, E45/4690, E45/4724 and E45/4746) covering 368km[2] located between 10 and 50kms east of Marble Bar in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia.
-
The Pippingarra Lithium and Tantalite project consisting of two Exploration Licence Applications (E45/4691 and E45/4759) covering 181 km[2] located 27kms south east of Port Hedland.

Marble Bar Lithium Project:
The Marble Bar Lithium project consists of four granted Exploration Licences (E45/4669, E45/4690, E45/4724 and E45/4746) covering 368km[2] located between 10 and 50kms east of Marble Bar in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia (see Figure 1).
Marble Bar is located 200kms south east of Port Hedland and approximately 100kms east of the emerging world class Pilgangoora and Wodgina lithium province.
Reconnaissance exploration in 2016 by Denis O’Meara and Brian Richardson, on behalf of Great Sandy Pty Ltd (“Great Sandy”), discovered new lithium bearing pegmatite swarms within a small area of E45/4669, with the majority of the tenement area remaining under explored. The north-south striking mineralized pegmatites occur within a 4km wide corridor and can be traced on surface for over 3.5kms. Individual pegmatites were traced for up to 1km in outcrop with widths of between 5 and 15m. The lithium minerals, spodumene and lepidolite are abundant in most pegmatites with spodumene dominant in the northern pegmatites. All pegmatites dip shallowly to the east.
Great Sandy collected 79 rock chip samples from the outcropping pegmatites and adjacent granitic country rock returning peak values of 3.72% Li2O and 3.32% Li2O with 30 of the collected samples assaying better than 1% Li2O (see Table 1).
The Marble Bar project contains the first reported significant spodumene discovery in the East Pilbara outside of the Pilgangoora-Wodgina area and is the first discovery of spodumene-rich pegmatites within a granitic host rock. This discovery has opened up the entire Marble Bar Lithium project area within the granites of the Mt Edgar batholith and importantly also within the nearby greenstones.

The project is underlain by granites and gneisses of the Mt Edgar batholith, an early Archaean granitic complex composed of gneisses, granite, mafic enclaves and granitic pegmatites. Along the intrusive western contact of the batholith strongly deformed mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Warrawoona Group occur within E45/4724. The project is situated adjacent to the Moolyella tin field and near to the Moolyella Adamellite, a late Archaean (younger) granite intrusion believed to be the ultimate source of all the Sn-Ta-Li in the district (see Figure 3).

In November 2016, Blaze International Limited conducted a limited shallow 12 hole, 702m RC drilling program targeting only 3 of the known mineralised pegmatites. Drilling returned significant lithium results within broad low grade zones of mineralisation, and lithium was intercepted in most holes with 7 holes also containing narrow but higher grade zones. Hole MBRC006 returned one of the best intercepts of 14m @ 0.58% Li2O from 0 to14m including a higher grade interval of 3m @ 1.48% Li2O from 8m. The drilling confirmed the shallow 30-35 degree easterly dip to the pegmatites and also indicated that the pegmatites are often associated with broad mineralized alteration haloes indicating a large and pervasive mineralizing event. (See Tables 2 and 3).

Immediate exploration will now focus on locating other mineralized pegmatite swarms within the 368 km[2] project area focusing initially on the extensive area of strongly deformed greenstone within E45/4724. This work will involve geological mapping and rock sampling followed by RC drilling of all priority areas.

Pippingarra Lithium Tantalite Project:
The Pippingarra Lithium and Tantalite project consists of two Exploration Licence Applications (E45/4691 and E45/4759) covering 181 km2 located 27kms south east of Port Hedland.
The tenements are underlain by a large area of the Archaean Strelley Granite rimmed by sediments and volcanics of the Mallina Formation and the Louden Volcanics. The project also contains a regional
north east trending structure sub-paralleling the nearby Tabba Tabba Shear which hosts the Tabba Tabba tantalite deposits and historical mining centre.
The tenements surround the excised Pippingarra quarry which was recently mined for feldspar and muscovite contained within a large pegmatite body. A small tantalite, columbite, beryl mine also operated within the excised tenements in the 1950-1960’s. In the south east corner of the tenement the Bore Creek alluvial tantalite prospect occurs. Extensive areas of prospective pegmatite occur within the project area.
The Pippingarra Project is prospective for pegmatite hosted lithium and tantalite mineralisation similar to the style of mineralisation discovered by Great Sandy at the Marble Bar Project. Initial targets will be the as yet undiscovered pegmatites that are the source for the alluvial tantalite at the Bore Creek prospect and the mapped pegmatites that occur straddling the regional north east structure. Initial exploration will commence when both tenements are granted.

Acquisition of Lithium Projects – Commercial Transaction:
The Company (“SUH”) and Macarthur Minerals Limited (“MMS”) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Great Sandy Pty Ltd (“Great Sandy”), a private Australian company controlled by Denis O’Meara, that will serve as a framework to acquire the Projects under a Purchase Agreement.
The key terms of the Memorandum of Understanding are:
-
SUH and MMS will negotiate and enter into a 50:50 JV Agreement for the purpose of acquiring 100% of the Projects.
-
Entering into the Projects Purchase Agreements are conditional upon the Company conducting due diligence, and regulatory approvals.
-
The purchase price for the Projects (to be split 50/50 between SUH and MMS):
-
The JV partners will pay A$15,000 each in on the signing of the MOU;
-
Within 60 days of signing the MOU, the JV partners have to complete all necessary due diligence and enter in to a Purchase Agreement.
-
Within 60 of signing the Purchase Agreement, the JV partners will each pay A$125,000 of shares each in their respective companies, with the number of shares to be calculated using a 5 day VWAP price of each company prior to the share issue.
-
Within 6 months of signing the Purchase Agreement, the JV partners will each pay A$250,000 of shares each in their respective companies, with the number of shares to be calculated using a 5 day VWAP price of each company prior to the share issue. On this final payment, the JV partners will receive 100% ownership of the Projects. Great Sandy will retain a 2% Gross Production Royalty.
