Summit Minerals Limited has completed a reconnaissance field visit, including an initial program of rock chip sampling to confirm the prospectivity of the Morrissey Lithium and REE project in the central Gascoyne. Elevated copper, with supporting nickel and chromium results, was returned from the ultramafic unit adjacent to the target pegmatite body. Nine samples from the target pegmatite display low tenor results in lithium and total rare earth oxides.

Their distribution, with higher TREO values in the south and lithium values in the north, supports the anticipated zonation pattern for this mineralisation style. Alluvial deposits of clay, silt, sand, or gravel associated with the Thirty-Three River, cover potentially more prospective pegmatite north of the current sampling, which will be the focus of the Company's next exploration program. Segue Resources Limited identified the Thirty-Three Supersuite as a fertile parent granite having the potential to generate LCT Pegmatite swarms. These swarms lie adjacent and may include the Morrissey property.

Red Dirt Metals Ltd. recently acquired the Malinda Lithium Project, which abuts the Morrissey Project. The Malinda Lithium Project extends over an area with pegmatites and associated minerals and contains historical workings, recording the presence of highly anomalous lithium and tantalum. Summit's field program focused south of the Thirty-three River.

Points of interest were interpreted from aerial photography and satellite and magnetic imagery before entering the field. Each point was visited, and a representative rock chip sample was taken, photographed, and submitted for assay at LabWest. The chosen assay stream was MMA-04, which includes microwave, HF/multi-acid digestion and returns 61 elements, including REEs, by ICP- MS/OES.

Appropriate detection limits accompany the technique. Of note, an extremely rare, iron-rich pyroxene, Hedenbergite, was sampled in contact with the pegmatite. Contact metamorphic rocks high in iron are the primary geologic setting for hedenbergite.

Besides forming in skarns, little is understood about the significance of the mineral at this locality. However, Hedenbergite is known to be associated with metamorphosed sulphide ores at Broken Hill. The elevated base metal results derived from the outcropping, fresh ultramafic rock, supported by hedenbergite, speculatively indicate the presence of a sulphide system.

The target pegmatite lies open to the north and south. The more prospective northern end is buried by recent sediments associated with the Thirty-three River and will be the focus of future exploration. Further investigations, including additional chip sampling and soil geochemistry, are justified.
