Review of Operations

Balkan Mining and Minerals is an ASX listed company focused on the exploration of highly prospective lithium and associated battery mineral projects across Canada and the Balkan region. These projects will be advanced in support of the Electric Vehicles revolution by building a global lithium supply for the European & North American markets.

The Company has secured a portfolio of highly prospective projects in a world-class lithium jurisdiction in the Georgia Lake pegmatite district, Thunder Bay North Mining District of Ontario, Canada and staked two projects more recently in the emerging lithium district of James Bay in Quebec, Canada. The Ontario assets within the Georgia Lake region are located within the Quetico Subprovince of the Superior Province, bounded by the granite-greenstone Wabigoon Subprovince to the north and Wawa Subprovince to the south. Pegmatites in the wider Georgia Lake region are intimately associated with granite intrusions, often within a few hundred feet of the contact zone. The host rocks of spodumene pegmatites are metasediments, typically meta-sandstone described as muscovite schist with observed bedding. Various stages of metamorphism are present, including migmatisation imparting a gneissic texture. The Company’s Quebec assets include rock types of the La Grande Greenstone Belt are dominated by amphibolite facies, mafic to ultramafic metavolcanic and intermediate to mafic paragneiss units.

The Company’s Serbian projects cover three Neogene aged sedimentary basins in the north-west trending portion of the Vardar Zone, forming part of the Vardar-Izmir-Ankara Suture, which stretches from Iran to Bosnia and host to numerous lithium and borate deposits, of which several lithium-boron deposits have been identified and are focused on exploration in recent years, mainly within Serbia. These include Rio Tinto Limited’s (ASX: RIO) Jadar Deposit discovered in 2004, which has a JORC compliant Probable Ore Reserve of 16.6 Mt at 1.81% lithium oxide (Li2O) and 13.4% boron trioxide (B2O3), and a Mineral Resource comprising 55.2 Mt of Indicated Resource at 1.68% Li2O and 17.9% B2O3 with an additional 84.1 Mt of Inferred Resource at 1.84% Li2O and 12.6% B2O3 and ranks as one of the largest unmined lithium-boron resources globally. In addition to the lithium potential, the Vardar Zone hosts a number of borate projects, of which a number are mined in Turkey, which is the second largest producer of borates and hosts the largest borate reserves globally.

The Company is advancing its strategy of becoming a leading Lithium and associated battery minerals exploration company by building a strategic portfolio and continuing its disciplined exploration campaigns across its projects.
