Kairos' Executive Chairman, Terry Topping, said: 'An ongoing review of the lithium prospectivity of our portfolio has yielded further exciting results, with a detailed review of regional datasets identifying a number of large lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatite targets at Lalla Rookh.

The strategic location of our tenements just 25km from one of the largest lithium deposits in the world at Pilgangoora added further impetus to our review of the lithium potential of this area. 'We have planned an extensive heli-borne mapping and sampling program that will commence next month to fast-track our evaluation of these extensive targets.

Subject to the results, we will move quickly to refine areas for potential drilling as part of our 2022 exploration field season. This adds another exciting dimension to our growing Pilbara lithium portfolio, and we are looking forward to getting on the ground in the near future.' Kairos Minerals Ltd (ASX: KAI; 'Kairos' or 'the Company') is pleased to advise that it has identified a series of significant large-scale Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite targets prospective for lithium mineralisation within its 100%-owned Lalla Rookh Project, located in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The targets were identified as part of an ongoing review of the Company's exploration portfolio for lithium exploration opportunities. A review of regional datasets including satellite imagery, aeromagnetics, radiometrics and gravity data has highlighted numerous large-scale regional structures that represent priority targets for follow-up mapping and sampling

The Company has identified extensive new Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) targets at the 100%-owned Lalla Rookh Project. The tenement E45/4741 is notably prospective for LCT pegmatites. The major lineaments in the region that extend into the E45/4741 tenement could act as a pathway for mineralised fluids enriched in elements such as lithium, caesium, tantalum, and beryllium, as has occured in pegmatites in the surrounding areas.

This work has identified the extension of the structures observed in the magnetics survey (local and regional) Lalla Rookh associated with the pegmatites at Pilgangoora (25km) and a historical beryl mine located 4km to the south.

About Kairos Minerals

Kairos Minerals (ASX: KAI) is a diversified West Australian-based exploration company which is focused on the exploration and development of two key project hubs located in WA's premier mining districts. The Company's 100%-owned Pilbara Gold-Project has its central 'hub' located 100km south of Port Hedland in the world-class Pilgangoora district immediately adjacent to the major lithium-tantalum projects owned by Pilbara Minerals, which is currently in production. Since acquiring the Project in early 2016, Kairos has established a JORC Indicated 8.56Mt at 1.3 g/t for 366,000oz and Inferred 12.36Mt at 1.28 g/t for 507,000oz for a Total Mineral Resource of 20.93Mt @ 1.3g/t Au for 873,500oz (ASX announcement, 4 March 2020). The Project encompasses the historical Lynas Find gold project, which produced over 125,000oz of gold between 1994 and 1998. Kairos's 100%-owned Roe Hills Project, located 120km east of Kalgoorlie in WA's Eastern Goldfields, comprises an extensive tenement portfolio where the Company's recent exploration work has confirmed the potential for significant discoveries of gold, lithium, nickel and cobalt mineralisation. Kairos' tenure adjoins the emerging Lake Roe gold discovery, owned by Breaker Resources (ASX: BRB).

In the Pilbara, Kairos also holds 2,026 square kilometres of tenure (granted and applications) which is highly prospective for gold and lithium-caesium-tantalum pegmatite discoveries. Kairos has been well recognised for its industry leading technical team that includes its Chairman Terry Topping (Taipan Resources NL, Cauldron Energy Ltd), Technical Director Neil Hutchison (Poseidon Nickel, Jubilee Mines) and consulting specialists
