Phase 2 Drilling Increases Scale of Morrissey Hill Lithium Project, Yinnetharra, W.A.

Attain Sources Restricted (ASX: RR1 & RR1O) (“Attain” or “the Firm”) is happy to advise that over 5,000m of the Section 2 drill program has now been accomplished and once more, a number of stacked pegmatites¹ over substantial widths have been intersected throughout a variety of targets throughout the Firm’s 100% owned Morrissey Hill Lithium Venture, Yinnetharra WA.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Section 2 Drilling has considerably elevated the dimensions of lithium potential at Morrissey Hill with drilling confirming the presence of a number of, thick, stacked pegmatites1 inside a beforehand unrecognised package deal of the Leake Springs Metamorphics, at Morrissey Hill South.
• The Leake Springs Metamorphics sequence are the identical rock models which host Delta Lithium’s (ASX: DLI), Malinda and Jamieson Lithium Initiatives, positioned instantly east and west respectively of Morrissey Hill.
• Finding this sequence at Morrissey Hill South, is important for the venture because the Leak Spring Metamorphics had beforehand been interpreted to exist solely throughout the northern third of the Morrissey Hill venture space.
• A complete of 57 holes for five,282m of RC drilling has been accomplished to this point throughout Section 2 drilling.
• Nearly all of all holes drilled throughout Section 2, have reported a number of thick, stacked pegmatites¹ inside beneficial metasedimentary and lesser mafic volcanic rock sorts.
• Section 2 drilling to this point has been restricted to areas the place heritage surveys have been beforehand accomplished, and with a give attention to testing depth continuity of outcropping pegmatites on the Morrissey Hill and Peggy Sue targets, together with restricted infill and extensional drilling on the Bonzer prospect.
• Importantly, the Firm has recognized a pipeline of some 33 precedence targets which will likely be methodically evaluated in 2024 as soon as all regulatory approvals have been obtained, together with extra aboriginal heritage surveys.
• Outcomes from this a part of the Section 2 Drilling marketing campaign are anticipated to be obtained in early 2024, with all samples already despatched to the laboratory for evaluation.

According to Delta Lithium’s Malinda Lithium Venture positioned instantly to the east of Morrissey Hill, drilling has confirmed the presence of a number of stacked pegmatites hosted inside a blended package deal of older nation rocks together with metasediments (quartz-feldspar-biotite schists) and lesser mafic volcanics and gneisses.

This a part of the Section 2 program has been restricted to areas the place heritage surveys have been beforehand accomplished with the preliminary focus being on testing depth continuity of outcropping pegmatites on the Morrissey Hill and Peggy Sue targets, and a few infill and extensional drilling on the Bonzer prospect.

¹ Cautionary Notice: The identification of pegmatites within the drilling accomplished to this point doesn’t suggest the presence of lithium mineralisation. The presence of any lithium mineralisation will likely be decided by laboratory analyses.

Jeremy Bower CEO commented:

“We’re excited that our Section 2 marketing campaign which has been designed to check new targets to the south of Bonzer has confirmed the presence of a number of, thick, stacked pegmatites inside a beforehand unrecognised package deal of the Leake Springs Metamorphics.

These are the identical rock sorts that host Delta’s Malinda Lithium Venture to our east and the Jamieson Lithium Prospect to our west. Detailed geological mapping by our geological staff recognized the realm as a possible Malinda “look alike” with a lot of broad, strike intensive pegmatites occurring inside a blended package deal of older nation rocks, together with metasediments and mafic volcanics which we interpret as a beforehand unrecognised hall of the Leake Springs Metamorphics.

The realm is clearly not dominated by granite which is what’s proven on present GSWA maps. Confirming an extension to the Leake Springs package deal is a significant breakthrough in advancing the potential and scale of the chance at Morrissey Hill. This sequence of rocks is thought to be way more beneficial for pegmatite fractionation and the event of great lithium mineralisation.

The situations the staff are working in are excessive and but they haven’t solely accomplished one other technically sensible drill marketing campaign, but in addition continued to establish and map new pegmatite targets so as to add to the large potential at Morrissey Hill. We are going to pull up for a well-earned Christmas break and sit up for one other big yr in 2024.”
