Yilgarn Lithium Project: Phase 1 Drilling Results

  • Phase 1 broad-scale shallow Aircore drilling identifies anomalous Li and Li associated pathfinder elements in weathered basement rocks at 3 Licenses

  • Dundas drilling identifies a potentially large LCT pegmatite under cover and highlights a prospective 35km long corridor

  • Anomalous Li and associated pathfinder values in the basement rocks in the Bedonia and Ten Mile Licenses

Lithium Consolidated Mineral Exploration Ltd (“LCME”) is pleased to announce that the Phase 1 Yilgarn Lithium Project drilling program geochemical results have been received and interpreted. The results confirm the presence of L ithium- C aesium- T antalum (LCT) pegmatites under cover in at least 3 Licenses.

Anomalous levels of Li and associated LCT pegmatite pathfinder elements (i.e. Cs, Nb, Rb, Sn, Ta) were intersected in holes in the E63/1826 (Dundas), E63/1814 (Bedonia) and E63/1813 (Ten Mile) licences. Elevated levels of LCT pegmatite pathfinder elements were also intersected in several holes at Snomys (see Figure 1).

Anomalous LCT pegmatite pathfinders were identified at the Dundas License in and around the intersected weathered pegmatites in both Aircore lines, approximately 1.6km apart. Airborne magnetic data used to target the Dundas area indicates that the prospective zone is open to the north and south of the current drilling.

LCME believes that the Dundas area is the southern part of a buried LCT pegmatite corridor. LCME currently holds the Licenses to the north of the current Aircore lines over an area covering approximately 40km of the prospective granite contact zone and potential LCT pegmatite corridor (see Figure 1). These Licenses have had limited previous gold exploration and until recently no lithium exploration.

Analytical sampling parameters were as follows:

  • 988 analytical samples were collected in 1m single samples and composites of up to 5m;

  • additional 19 certified reference material samples and 30 field duplicate samples were included for QA/QC purposes;

  • 176 samples were re-assayed for gold;

  • sample preparation and analysis were carried-out at ALS Global in Perth;

  • analysis consisted of a four-acid digestion with ICP-AES and ICP-MS finish;

  • a total of 48 elements, which included Li and pathfinder elements, were assayed for; and

  • follow-up gold analysis was done using a 50g fire assay with an AAS finish.

Dundas License

Elevated to anomalous Li and LCT pegmatite pathfinders were identified under cover in highly weathered pegmatites and host meta-sediments on both lines of Aircore drilling (see Figure 2). These results indicate that the Dundas License may contain a covered LCT pegmatite swarm. Sampling at this stage was limited to the upper, highly weathered rock horizons, where the Li and associated pathfinders have been remobilised and dispersed around the LCT pegmatite source.

The Aircore geochemistry shows anomalous Li (up to 224ppm) and Cs (up to 131 ppm) in haloes around the weathered pegmatites and anomalous Ta (up to 57.2ppm), Rb (up to 1930ppm), Nb (up to 90.3ppm) and Sn (up to 35.7ppm) within the pegmatites. Li and Cs are generally more chemically mobile than elements such as Ta, Nb and Sn. Anomalous LCT pegmatite pathfinder elements in the upper parts of WRVAC004 and WRVAC008 were found to correspond to zones containing angular quartz fragments that most likely represent extremely weathered pegmatites. Figures 3 and 4 show cross-sections along the drill lines with the interpreted geology and downhole Li and Ta geochemistry. Additional downhole geochemistry is shown in Table A1.

The geochemistry indicates the potential for spodumene bearing pegmatites in the deeper fresh rock. The base of weathering was only intersected in WRVAC004 at 33m, this hole and holes WRVC005 and WRVAC006 ended with anomalous Li values.

The LCT pegmatite zone, based on anomalous Li and pathfinders, has a potential 1.6km long strike which is open to the south and east. Pegmatite intersections on the 6460750N Aircore line suggest the zone has a width of at least 200m. The drilling results suggest that the identified pegmatite has an apparent shallow dip of 3[o ] to the west and an apparent thickness between 3.5m to 12m and that the weathered cover is shallow, varying between 20m – 40m (see Figure 3).

Dundas is located 15km NE, on the opposite granite contact, from the Buldania prospect where Liontown Resources Limited’s recent deep RC drilling has interesected wide mineralised Li intervals in partial covered LCT pegamtites (see Figure 1).

Bedonia License

Bottom of the hole samples in 2 Aircore holes WRVAC019 and WRVAC022, 600m apart intersected anomalous LCT pegmatite pathfinders. Downhole geochemistry is shown in Table A2. The anomalous LCT pegmatite pathfinders is associated with a narrow, 2m wide, strongly weathered pegmatite in WRVAC022 and strongly weathered felsic meta-volcanics in

WRCAC0019. Cover thickness in the Bedonia area is up to 90m. The anomalous basement geochemistry is encouraging, and the area is considered prospective for LCT pegmatites.

Bedonia is located along strike 6km to the south of Buldania (see Figure 1).

Ten Mile.

Anomalous LCT geochemistry was intersected at the bottom of WRCV091 in a weathered quartz vein and in some of the overlying clay rich material. Downhole geochemistry is shown in Table A3. There is only one line of Aircore holes in this area that is considered to be encouraging. Aircore holes on other two lines, 3.5 km to the north, did not return anomalous results.

Snomys and Other Tenements.

Drilling at E28/2632 (Snomys) returned elevated Li and associated LCT pegmatite pathfinders within highly weathered cover material. These results are still being assessed. Aircore drilling in E28/2651 (Cool) and E15/1542 (Nawoc) did not return anomalous values for the LCT pegmatite pathfinder elements.

Gold Analyses.

176 samples from Aircore holes across the 6 Licenses were re-assayed for gold based on their geology and elevated Ag and Au pathfinder elements. The majority of the results were below the detection limit of 0.005ppm Au with a few Au results at or only slightly above the detection limit.

Competent Person’s Statement:

Information in this report that related to Exploration Results is based on and fairly represents information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr Adrian Black. Mr. Black is a director of Newexco Services Pty Ltd, an independent geological consultancy contracted by LCME. Mr Black is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience of relevance to the styles of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activities undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the JORC Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results. Specifically, Mr. Black consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which they appear.

Additional Information:

Aircore drilling is a shallow, cost effective exploration technique for geochemically testing the older basement rocks, in which the LCT pegmatites occur. It is also useful in areas where the basement is not exposed but covered by varying thickness of younger barren rocks or transported cover. The basement rocks in these areas are generally highly altered or decomposed due to surficial weathering processes. Aircore drilling uses a blade bit and in some cases a small percussion hammer to cut through and sample the weathered rocks. It provides similar information to surface sampling and trenching as used in outcropping terrains. Fresh basement rocks are generally too hard for aircore drilling and as such the technique is not appropriate for more detailed exploration or delineation drilling.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken
as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
LCME have completed94 aircore drill holes
for 3958m. A drilling hole summary is
attached in Table A1 in the ASX
announcement dated 16 January 2018.
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used
Aircore hole samples were collected every 1m
in buckets placed under cyclone recovery
system. Samples were laid out in 1 metre
piles for logging and sampling. 2kg to 3kg
analytical samples were collected by hand,
using a hand scoop, from the piles and stored
in draw-string calico sample bags. Analytical
sample lengths varied from 1m up to 5m
composite based on geological logging.
Compositing involved collecting an equal mass
of material from each 1 m pile. Archean
basement was always sampled and a soil
sample was collected from each hole. Material
interpreted as being transported or exotic
cover was not sampled.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information
All the samples were aircore chips and
sampled on site. Samples were sent to ALS
Global in Perth for analysis for a suite of 48
elements via 4-acid digest and ICP
techniques.

For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
Both wet and dry samples were collected in
buckets placed under the cyclone. Sample
piles were sampled using a hand scoop and
an effort was taken to ensure a representative
2-3kg sample was collected from each pile in
the case of composite samples.
Quality control procedures adopted
for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
Field duplicates and a Li-Ta pegmatite
standard (Geostats - GTA-02) were used.
Blanks were not used
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Field duplicates were collect approximately
every 30 samples (approximately 3%
frequency) and standards were inserted
approximately every 50 samples
(approximately 2% frequency).
Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled
LCME considers the sample size and sample
method appropriate for the grass-roots
exploration for lithium bearing pegmatites
found in the SE Yilgarn region.
Quality of

Samples will be assayed at ALS Global Perth
for 48 elements via ME-MS61L using a four
acid digestion and ICPAES and ICPMS finish.
High grade samples will undergo Sodium
Peroxide Fusion (FUS-PER02) and ME-ICP89
and ME-MS91 analyses. Both techniques are
considered to be total analyses and
appropriate for the type of mineralisation.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
No Geophysical tools were used.
Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.
The certified reference material and field
duplicate samples performed as expected.
The duplicate samples displayed appropriate
reproducibility and the certified samples were
with tolerance limits. As such sampling was
considered suitable and the laboratory results
reliable.

dip and azimuth of the hole
down hole length and interception
depth
hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
Refer to tables A1, A2 and A3 in the ASX

aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.
No weighted averaging was used.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.
Drill samples were composited at 1m

Relationship
between
mineralisatio
n widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
Orientation of the pegmatites is unknown at
this stage of the exploration program and the
relationship of true thickness to down hole
lengths is unknown. Down hole lengths are
reported in Tables A2 and A3 Section 1 in the
ASX announcement dated 16 January 2018.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported. These
should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.
See Figures 2, 5 and 7 in the ASX
announcement date 16 January 2018.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
LCME believe the reporting above is
comprehensive.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.
All current meaningful and material exploration
data has been reported.
Further work The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
LCME plan to evaluate the lithological and
analytical results of the drilling program once
reported by ALS Global and carry out follow-up
drilling were appropriate.
