LPI Commences Drilling At Greenbushes Lithium Project
HIGHLIGHTS
- LPI has commenced its inaugural drilling program at its East Kirup lithium prospect located in the Greenbushes region of Western Australia.
- LPI’s Western Australian projects are held by Western Lithium Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary company.
- Western Lithium is to be demerged from LPI in the first half of 2023, subject to market conditions and shareholder approval, thereby potentially creating additional value for LPI shareholders.
Australia’s largest lithium mine, which is operated by Talison Lithium.
LPI’s inaugural drilling program in the Greenbushes region, and more specifically the East Kirup lithium prospect, is being undertaken in accordance with an approved Conservation Management Plan (CMP), which aligns with the Western Lithium’s sustainable exploration and development practices. It also requires the work to be completed in dry conditions to prevent the spread of phytophthora dieback to minimise the impact on native trees.
LPI is currently engaging two drilling contractors with experience in completing work in forested areas under tight environmental conditions. The rigs being used have a very small footprint, and above ground sumps with solid removal equipment to minimise water usage.
The planned program includes 960m of reverse circulation drilling and 400m of HQ core-sized diamond drilling. The area has not previously been drilled, hence the objectives of the program are broad, with the aim of defining the water table, water quality and flow rates, and stratigraphy and geochemical anomalies along the Donnybrook Shear Zone previously defined by laterite and soil sampling.
The Company has completed detailed two-season flora and fauna surveys on a defined area of the East Kirup prospect, with all planned drill holes located with reference to these surveys on existing tracks where there is sufficient cleared space to allow drilling without further clearing.
LPI Executive Director, Andrew Phillips, commented:
“The results of this drilling program will be used - along with previously completed environmental surveys - to prepare a CMP to allow drilling on new tracks, the commencement of phase three.”
“While the core focus for LPI in H2 2022 was the MSB consolidation in Chile, throughout this time the Western Lithium team was expanding and diligently working to add value to the projects. Final approvals were also granted to commence this inaugural drilling program in the Greenbushes area.”
“The project area is large, requiring careful analysis to identify the selected drilling targets. The intention is to hit the ground running in 2023, and we are pleased that the commencement of the program is so early in the year”.

- Many pegmatites are strategically located within mica schists, indicating favorable conditions for lithium-bearing minerals.
- Latest discoveries continue to reinforce AM Resources' position in the Austrian Pegmatite Belt, located within proximity to European battery manufacturers.
AM Resources’ 1,500 km2 land package
First Group
The Company has identified 8 large pegmatites with lengths varying between 329 metres and 887 metres, with the most extensive pegmatite measuring an impressive 281 metres in width.
Second Group
An additional 18 pegmatites ranging from 102 metres to 560 metres in length were discovered, with the thickest pegmatite reaching 195 metres in width. This group's diversity in size and shape adds to the prospectivity of AM Resources’ holdings. Many of these pegmatites are located within mica schists, a geological setting favorable for the presence of lithium-bearing minerals.
David Grondin, CEO of AM Resources commented: “Since the acquisition, we've been compiling the data available to us in preparation for our upcoming exploration program scheduled for June. We are very pleased with the number and size of the pegmatites found so far. Once we finish compiling the data, we'll have a better picture of the work that needs to be done to fully evaluate the lithium potential of our properties.”

Large New Lithium and Gold Anomalies Identified Over Highly - Prospective Cave Hill Greenstone Belts
- Highly-anomalous lithium and gold targets identified from soil sampling across the Company’s extensive 700 square kilometres (sq.km) Cave Hill Project tenements in WA’s world-class Eastern Goldfields gold, nickel and lithium province (see Figure 1).
- The largest new lithium anomaly, located in the southern part of E15/1844 (Figure 1), is over 5km x 5km and is associated with a northeast-trending fault corridor intersecting an extensive buried greenstone corridor identified from magnetic imagery (Figure 2). This is a similar setting to other high-grade lithium deposits in the region, including the Kangaroo Hills discovery which has produced lithium-spodumene intersections of up to 29m @ 1.36% Li2O1, and the Mt Marion Project which has a large Mineral Resource of 71.3Mt @ 1.37% Li2O2 (see Figure 1).
- Several highly-anomalous gold results also produced from this broad 400m x 400m sampling program, including values of up to 32ppb Au - more than 10 times background in this soil covered area (see Figure 3).
- This extensive and highly prospective >100km strike-length greenstone corridor remains virtually untested and is a continuation of the belt which hosts the Kangaroo Hills lithium discovery1, the 2.8Moz2 Coolgardie Goldfield and the Nepean Nickel Mine (1.1Mt at 3.0% Ni produced3) (Figure 1).
- Extensive infill and extension soil sampling is set to commence to better define targeting for an initial aircore drilling program, to be followed by RC and/or diamond drilling to test for lithium-bearing pegmatites in bedrock and/or greenstone-hosted gold deposits.
SABRE RESOURCES CEO JON DUGDALE COMMENTED:
“The large lithium and gold soil anomalies we have identified across our extensive Cave Hill tenements indicate that the large, untested, greenstone corridor discovered within the project is highly-prospective for lithium-bearing pegmatites, as well as gold deposits.
“The Company will immediately commence infill sampling, and new sampling programs on other recently granted tenements, to define aircore drilling targets for lithium and gold deposits in the underlying greenstone lithologies.
“The Company has over 100km of strike of granted tenements over this newly identified greenstone corridor. The corridor is along strike and parallel to other greenstone belts which host major lithium, gold and nickel deposits in the region, such as the Mt Marion lithium deposit, the 2.8Moz Coolgardie Goldfield and the Nepean nickel mine. The only difference appears to be that the Cave Hill greenstone corridor is under shallow cover, which is why it has remained largely un-explored.
“We look forward to further defining these highly-anomalous lithium and gold zones and testing the bedrock potential for new lithium, gold and nickel sulphide discoveries”.

The results have been received from a further 876 auger soil samples collected on a 400m x 400m grid, mostly from the largest and most prospective tenement, E15/1844 (see Figure 1). An extensive greenstone belt has been identified from magnetics within this tenement and a series of northeast-trending faults are interpreted to intersect the soil-covered greenstone lithologies, which could host lithium-bearing pegmatites (see Figure 2 below).

Coniagas Battery Metals to Advance Graal Nickel-Copper Project in Quebec, CEO Says
Coniagas Battery Metals (TSXV:COS) is focused on developing world-class nickel, copper and cobalt projects, starting with the Graal property in Quebec, according to Frank Basa, the company’s CEO. Coniagas is a spinout of Nord Precious Metals Mining (TSXV:NTH,OTCQB:CCWOF), formerly Canada Silver Cobalt Works, which is continuing to work on its past-producing Castle silver-cobalt project.
“We still have about 14 properties, including Graal. We spend most of our time and money on Graal because odds are there's something there,” Basa said. “We might start drilling right away, and we might have some very high crazy numbers for copper-nickel. ... There's some cobalt values. The property's potential is massive.”
Early exploration work and drilling at the Graal property indicate a potentially large deposit of high-grade nickel, copper and cobalt near surface.
“We are driven by success,” Basa said. "The market’s right, I think. The copper-nickel market is not going to go away, (and) the precious metals market is going to come back to life."
Coniagas also plans to build a processing facility that will use its proprietary Re-2Ox technology, a closed-loop hydrometallurgical process that extracts metals without any discharge or smelting.

Closing the Lithium Conversion Gap in North America
Lithium Universe Limited (referred to as "Lithium Universe" or the "Company," ASX: "LU7") provides a strategic update on addressing the gap in lithium conversion capacity and enhancing the North American supply chain.
Highlights
- Lithium Universe to play pivotal role in closing the lithium conversion gap
- Lithium Universe to convert supply in North America.
- Target conversion contracts with OEMs who have spodumene off take
- Target "take or pay" agreements with OEMs to reduce market/price risks
- Geopolitical shift to onshore the battery supply chain in North America
- Canada emerges as next key global lithium supply chain
- LFP batteries expected to capture 87% of the ESS market share by 2033
- Strong Federal and Provincial government financing support within the industry
- Lithium Universe committed to building through the lithium cycle
What is the ‘Lithium Gap’?
North America anticipates a surge in battery manufacturing, with over 20 major manufacturers planning to deploy an estimated 1,000GW of battery capacity. Canada has ascended to the top spot in BloombergNEF's Global Lithium-Ion Battery Supply Chain Ranking, signalling its emergence as a significant global supplier of battery materials. However, bridging the gap between the growing supply of lithium ore and the increasing demand for highly processed lithium carbonate remains a challenge and opportunity.
Lithium Universe is advancing a mine-to-battery-grade lithium carbonate strategy in Canada through the Québec Lithium Processing Hub (QLPH). The QLPH includes a multi-purpose independent 1 Mtpa concentrator and an independent 16,000 tpa battery-grade lithium carbonate refinery.
Over the past decade, numerous lithium conversion plants worldwide have encountered technical and startup challenges. Even established lithium producers have found lithium conversion to be a challenging task. Lithium Universe presents a solution to mitigate these risks. The company has formed a team, dubbed the Lithium Dream Team, comprising experts in hard rock lithium extraction and downstream conversion operations. Additionally, strategic partnerships with engineering consultants Hatch Ltd and Primero Group have been forged. By leveraging proven technology in spodumene concentration and lithium conversion design, the company aims to minimize execution risk. Notably, the Dream Team previously spearheaded the successful construction of the Jiangsu Lithium Carbonate facility, surpassing design expectations to produce the world's premier battery-grade carbonate. This project was built by Hatch Ltd. Lithium Universe intends to replicate the design and operational methodologies implemented at Jiangsu, viewing this, coupled with the expertise of the Dream Team, as pivotal in establishing conversion capacity in North America.

The Emerging James Bay Supply
The Company has engaged with numerous exploration entities operating within the region of James Bay, Québec and estimate there are over 40 companies dedicated to lithium exploration in the area. Our assessments indicate a cumulative lithium resource exceeding 500Mt at +1% Li2O across eight distinct projects, which has increased over 100% within the last 12 months. This significant increase is due to the upgraded resource of 110.2Mt at 1.3% Li2O by Arcadium Lithium at the James Bay Project, the maiden resource of Patriot Battery Metals at Corvette of 109Mt at 1.42% Li2O and most recently the announcement of Winsome Resource’s 59Mt at 1.12% Li2O resource at their Adina Project.
