High-Grade Lithium Assays Confirm Significance of Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatite
Results of up to 1.91% Li2O just 4km from Pilbara Minerals’ Pilgangoora lithium-tantalum mine; Drilling being planned for September
Kairos Managing Director, Dr Peter Turner said: “The high-grade lithium results, combined with the confirmation of spodumene mineralogy, is a very exciting development.
Highlights
- Five pegmatite samples from the Lucky Sump prospect at Mt York have returned exceptional assays including:
- 1.91% Li2O & 103 ppm Ta (MYR393)
- 1.56% Li2O & 115 ppm Ta (MYR401)
- 0.58% Li2O & 167 ppm Ta (MYR396)
- The spodumene-bearing pegmatite samples were discovered during routine earthmoving activities next to the flagship Mt York gold deposit
- The spodumene pegmatites are part of a larger interpreted dyke swarm at Mt York
- Planning underway to RC drill-test large area of Lucky Sump
“We are in a Tier 1 destination for spodumene pegmatite projects with two world-class Li-Ta deposits (ASX:PLS, ASX:MRL) in the neighbourhood and we have demonstrated that we have the right fertile geology for significant Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite discoveries”.
Figure 1. Kairos Geologist Campbell Watts holding a piece of spodumene-bearing pegmatite (MYR393 – 1.91% Li2O) discovered at ‘Lucky Sump’ during routine earth moving activities.
Five samples of pegmatites that were analysed by hyperspectral and XRD methods confirming the presence of spodumene mineralogy (see KAI Announcement dated 12 July 2022), were submitted to NAGROM Laboratories in Perth for chemical analysis. Photographs of the pegmatites are shown in Figure 2.
The samples were crushed and pulverised and a 200g subsample selected for Na-peroxide fusion with hydrochloric acid digestion. This method was selected as it is considered to be a complete dissolution of all resistate minerals they may contain the selected elements of interest. The analysis of the samples was conducted using inductively couple plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with the elements Li, Rb, Cs, Be, Mn, Fe, Ti and Ta selected. The results are shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Assay results from NAGROM Laboratory, Perth. Conversion of Li ppm results to Li2O involves a two-step process to divide the Li ppm result by 10,000 (conversion to Li %) and multiplying Li % by 2.153 to obtain the Li2O equivalent. Method ICP005 refers to NAGROM’s Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis code.

Sarama Completes Second and Final Tranche of Placement
Funds raised will be used to sustain Sarama while it focuses on maximising value from its existing asset base in Burkina Faso, advancing potential opportunities outside Burkina Faso and to fund administration and general working capital costs
Sarama Resources Ltd. (“Sarama” or the “Company”) (ASX:SRR, TSX-V:SWA) is pleased to report that on 17 April 2024, it completed the previously announced A$520,000 equity placement (the “Placement”) (refer to Sarama news releases dated 18 December 2023 and 22 December 2023).
The second and final Tranche of the Placement raised aggregate gross proceeds of A$50,000 with the Company issuing 2,500,000 Chess Depository Instruments (“CDIs”) at an issue price of A$0.02 per CDI to a director, Mr Andrew Dinning. The issuance of the CDIs to Mr Dinning was subject to shareholder approval, as required by the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) Listing Rules, which was obtained at a special meeting held on 11 April 2024. Each new CDI issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing CDIs on issue and each CDI will represent a beneficial interest in 1 common share of the Company.
Tranche 1 of the Placement, completed on 22 December 2023, raised aggregate gross proceeds of A$470,000 with the Company issuing 6,000,000 common shares and 17,500,000 CDIs (the CDIs and together with the common shares, the "Securities") at an issue price of A$0.02 per Security.
Members of Sarama's Board and Management subscribed for an aggregate 6,250,000 CDls in the Placement.
Each of the directors and officers who participated in the Placement is a "related party" of the Company within the meaning of that term in Canadian Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Participation by them in the Placement is therefore a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. Pursuant to Section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company was exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company's shareholders in respect of the Placement due to the fair market value of their participation being below 25% of the Company's market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101. The Company filed material change reports in respect of the Placement which detail the participation by directors and officers of the Company. The material change reports were filed less than 21 days prior to the completion of each tranche of the Placement, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Placement in an expeditious manner. Each of the directors and officers who participated in the Placement are subject to an Exchange Hold period imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange on the CDIs issued to such persons. The Exchange Hold Period expires 4 months from the date of issue of the securities.
The common shares issued under the Placement are all subject to a four-month hold period from the date of issue in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Aspacia Deposit Records Maiden Mineral Resource at the Menzies Gold Project
Brightstar Resources Limited (ASX: BTR) (Brightstar) is pleased to announce a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Aspacia, located approximately 1km west of Menzies town (MGP). This MRE was undertaken on over 110 RC and diamond holes including recent programs completed by Brightstar.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Maiden JORC2012 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Aspacia of 1.37Mt @ 1.6g/t Au for 70koz Au at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade
- Brightstar has increased the total Menzies MRE by ~20% since Brightstar ownership commenced in late May 2023
- Mineral Resource growth vindicates Brightstar’s strategy of identifying, drilling and delineating areas considered prospective to hold future potentially mineable ounces
- Within the Aspacia MRE, there is a high-grade subset of 290kt @ 3.72g/t Au for ~35koz using a 2.0g/t Au cut-off grade
- Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike and will be tested further with upcoming drilling programs to grow and improve the confidence of the MRE
- Combined Brightstar MRE of 1.1Moz Au across the Menzies and Laverton Gold Projects, with an additional ~0.35Moz Au in resources to be added via a successful completion of the off-market takeover of Linden Gold Alliance1
- Pre-Feasibility Study work streams for the Menzies and Laverton Gold Projects are in progress, with significant drill programs commencing imminently across the Brightstar portfolio targeting resource confidence upgrades and material for testwork purposes.
Encouragingly, the Selkirk-First Hit-Lady Shenton trend seems to be distinct to that of the Aspacia deposit, which may lead to similar repetitions north and south of Aspacia and warrants further follow up exploration which we’ll target in our upcoming drilling programs set to re-commence this quarter.
The results from the previous drilling and the MRE output utilising a typical underground mining economic cut-off grade indicates to Brightstar that strong potential exists to assess a modest-scale underground operation at Aspacia given the grades and widths observed.
With the technical PFS work streams underway, RC and diamond drilling will shortly recommence at Brightstar’s projects and conduct large programs targeting conversion and upgrades to our current MREs proposed to be mined within our BTR 2023 Scoping Study, along with Linden Gold projects at Second Fortune and Jasper Hills”.

- Ricciardo and the ‘Golden Corridor’ are Warriedar’s key exploration focus in 2024.
Warriedar Managing Director and CEO, Amanda Buckingham, said:
“This is another very pleasing set of results from our recent drilling at Ricciardo. Combined with the initial results released in March, they readily demonstrate why we have made the Golden Corridor the primary focus of our 2024 exploration activities. At Golden Range we have scale, plus grade, and immediate and substantial resource growth potential. We look forward to receiving the remaining assays, as well as recommencing drilling this quarter.”

Awalé Resources CEO Touts Odienné Project’s Potential for "Big Gold-Copper System"
Drilling at Awalé Resources’ (TSX:ARIC) Charger target within the Odienné project in Côte d’Ivoire has hit “one of the highest-grade gold intersections," according to the company’s CEO, Andrew Chubb.
“It's a (really) significant drill hole. We were testing a new sort of 3D framework at that target. We drilled holes there and got 50 to 100 meter intercepts … We adjusted our interpretation and went in to test that, and found that it's a breccia system. We found a new breccia pipe and got the broadest intercept of the actual geology,” he said.
“The biggest thing for us is that we believe we are sitting on a big gold-copper system. And there are other discoveries that we've had within that system as well, there are two other discoveries, and it's really evolving into what looks like a big mining camp.”
A 3,000 meter diamond drilling program at the Charger prospect has commenced following the announcement of outstanding assay results of 26 grams per metric ton (g/t) gold over 57 meters, including 45.7 g/t gold over 32 meters from 165 meters downhole of a new breccia pipe.
