The maiden drill program will consist of a proposed ~2500m RC and ~2000m diamond drill hole program concentrated on the Bonzer Pegmatite Field but may include reconnaissance holes at the Malibu Lithium prospect, the Swallowtail Copper prospect and further south of the Bonzer Pegmatite Field where a large number of outcropping pegmatites have been recently mapped and heritage cleared.

The program will include ~8‐10 RC holes to approximately 100m to 300m depth and another 8‐10 DDH to similar depths for ~4500m drilling in total. Holes are planned to assess grade, size and scale of the mapped pegmatites and test for the presence of “blind” sub‐surface pegmatite bodies.

The Company is pleased to announce the receipt of all necessary approvals and permits, including Aboriginal heritage clearance and a program of works (“POW”), allowing the commencement of the Company’s maiden drilling program at the Morrissey Hill Lithium Project.

The Reach Exploration team worked with the Yinggarda Traditional Owners to assess and clear four large polygons across the Morrissey Hill project, which provides the Company with the flexibility to drill the large number of outcropping pegmatites identified and avoid any areas of cultural significance anywhere within the polygons. The POW was also submitted and approved on this basis.

Reach CEO Jeremy Bower said: “Since acquiring our Yinnetharra projects in April we are really happy with what we have achieved over the past couple of months. Our exploration team has been methodical, using all the tools at our disposal to identify and confirm the Bonzer pegmatite field, including the numerous other pegmatites across Morrissey Hill, as both highly fractioned and lithium bearing at surface.

The Bonzer prospect only represents a small portion of the potential at Morrissey Hill, but we have always said the Bonzer is a walk‐up drill target and following the outstanding rock chip results obtained at this location, it’s without a doubt our first stop. Having Strike Drilling and DDH1 mobilising in a couple of weeks to kick off our maiden drilling program, on an area that has never been previously drilled is exciting.

None of this would have been possible without the co‐operation and support of the local Yinggarda people during the recently completed heritage surveys at Morrisssey Hill. We look forward to building a strong relationship with the Yinggarda people as we assess more pegmatite areas.

Delta Lithium are doing some great work next door and reporting fantastic results from the same pegmatite system. Morrissey Hill deserves to be drilled comprehensively, and with the $4 million raised under the Placement, the exploration team can take their time and do things right. Additionally it provides sufficient funding to fast track the necessary approvals required to get things moving at Wabli Creek where the Company has reported very promising Niobium results.

We are delighted with the outcome of the Placement which secured strong institutional support from new investors who recognise the value in the Company. We look forward to providing regular updates over the coming months as we obtain assays from over 5000 soil samples and as drilling gets underway.”
