1500 Metres of Drilling Completed at Gorge

HIGHLIGHTS

• ~1,500 metres of planned 2,500 metre drill program completed by Major Drilling.
• Koshman pegmatite outcrop among several pegmatite occurrences targeted at Gorge.
• All core has been logged and samples have been submitted to ALS laboratory with assays pending in coming weeks.
• BMM moves to 50% ownership of the Gorge project.

More than half of the planed 2,500m drilling program has been completed to date with a focus on testing the Koshman spodumene bearing pegmatite outcrop.

The company will analyse the assays over the coming weeks and 3D model the Koshman occurrence, with a plan to extend the 2,500 metre program once further targets have been identified

Assays are pending and the Company expects to release the first batch in the coming weeks, with the balance of results expected over the next 3 – 6 weeks.

“The drilling completed by Major has substantially increased drill rate efficiency with initial drill testing of the Koshman spodumene bearing pegmatite occurrence representing an extremely encouraging start to the campaign. We look forward to receiving assay results which we hope will validate our theory that Gorge has the potential to become a substantial lithium deposit.

With the last completed hole reaching some 250 metres in depth, we are hoping that the best of this program is yet ahead of us. We look forward to revealing more as soon as the information comes to hand.”
