PROJECTS

1. Kathleen Valley Lithium Project, WA (Liontown: 100%)

The Kathleen Valley Project is located in Western Australia, ~680km north-east of Perth and ~350km north-north-west of Kalgoorlie, within the Eastern Goldfields of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton (Figure 1). Liontown commenced work at Kathleen Valley in 2017 and has since defined a world-class Mineral Resource Estimate of 156Mt @ 1.4% Li2O and 130ppm Ta2O5 and completed a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) which confirms the potential for a long-life, standalone mining and processing operation.

Kathleen Valley represents the only large (>40 Mt) pre-development phase hard rock lithium deposit in the developed world

During the quarter, work continued on Kathleen Valley Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which remains on track for completion in Q4 2021. Work programs conducted during the period identified key improvements and enhancements which have the potential to upgrade the financial metrics for the Project.

The principal focus of the DFS is to build on the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) completed in October 2020 and activities either completed during the Quarter or well-advanced include:

  • Assessing technology adoption to minimise Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions;
  • Comprehensive DFS optimization test work program with early planning for a pilot program to produce ~5 tonne of spodumene concentrate for offtake customer pre-qualification (planned for Q4 2021);
  • Design schedule accelerated to meet the market - targeting a 3-year development timeline;
  • Open Pit and underground mine schedule optimisation;
  • Examination of options to increase throughput to >2Mtpa and future proofing the initial operation;
  • Undertaking "value engineering" exercise with our key engineering consultant Lycopodium to further optimise project scope and design;
  • Flowsheet optimisation to improve concentrate/grade (with potential for >6% Li2O premium concentrate); and
  • Equipment tendering.

Environmental Social Governance (ESG-E)

A corporate review of Liontown's ESG policies and how they apply to the Kathleen Valley Project is being undertaken with a focus on returning a positive financial outcome while:

  • Minimising carbon emissions, water usage and land disturbance;
  • Engaging meaningfully with the Traditional Owners and other local stakeholders; and
  • Ensuring corporate governance is consistent with industry best practices.

Liontown aspires to achieving Net Zero Emissions in line with the Paris Agreement and is assessing different pathways to achieve this goal. The Company's Climate strategy is expected to be announced prior to a Final Investment Decision (FID)

During the Quarter, the Liontown Board confirmed in-principle support for a proposed demerger and IPO of the Moora and Koojan JV Projects. Planning for work programs to follow up drilling results reported last Quarter continues. The results delineated several zones of significant bedrock mineralisation including the:

  • Angepena Zone - a +900m long gold zone with intersections up to 43m @ 1.7g/t gold including higher grade intersections up to 2m @ 21.2g/t gold;
  • Northern Zone - a +2km, up to 150m wide copper gold zone with intersections up to 9m @ 2.1% copper and 12m @ 1.2g/t gold; and
  • South Eastern Zone (SEZ) - defined by a single drill traverse with drill intersections up to 17m @ 0.4g/t gold and 12m @ 0.2% copper.

All mineralised trends associated with the Mt Yule magnetic anomaly (Figure 3) remain open along strike and at depth.

In addition, first pass geochemical and geophysical programs designed to define new drill targets are being planned for areas within the Moora Project which have not yet been explored.

Proposed work includes:

  • Follow-upRC/Diamond core drilling at Angepena comprising 6-10 holes to confirm the continuity and orientation of the mineralisation.
  • RC drill testing of other Mt Yule targets.
  • A detailed review of pathfinder geochemistry to determine whether reconnaissance aircore drilling has intersected the margins of sulphide-relatedPGE-nickel-copper mineralised zones.
  • Ground EM surveys across geochemically anomalous areas.
  • A low-level, detailed aeromagnetic survey designed to allow modelling and targeted drill testing of magnetic highs coincident with geochemical anomalies and interpreted to be related to mafic/ultramafic bodies.
