ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Woomera to Commence Exploration over

Key Lithium Tenements

Highlights

  • With rising demand for battery metals, Woomera has completed a review across its entire lithium exploration portfolio
  • Woomera's lithium projects are spread throughout Western Australia and lie in close proximity to existing lithium operations including Pilbara Minerals' Pilgangoora mines and Mineral Resources' Wodgina mine in the Pilbara plus Allkem's Mt Cattlin mine, near Ravensthorpe
  • Woomera intends to conduct an exploration program for hard rock spodumene-rich mineral resources close to Pilgangoora/Wodgina and Mt Cattlin as well as drill for sedimentary lithium carbonate within its Lake Dundas Project, south of Norseman and the Bald Hill lithium deposit
  • Exploration on the Pilbara tenements will focus on testing for blind lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) enriched pegmatites proximal to the known pegmatite outcrops
  • At Lake Dundas Woomera will drill test for buried thicknesses of lithium carbonate within flat lying Tertiary lacustrine sediments across the salt lake environment
  • Ravensthorpe exploration will look for steep-dipping link structures and shallow parallel pegmatite lodes north of the Mt Cattlin deposit where they are projected to dip into
    Woomera's land package
  • The Company has also received a number of offers to acquire the projects which will be considered by the Board in due course

Lithium Exploration Program

Woomera Mining Limited (ASX: WML) (Woomera or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on the Company's plans for its wholly owned package of lithium exploration projects, strategically located in Western Australia's Pilbara Craton (Figure 1) and Yilgarn Craton (Figure 2) and adjacent to operating lithium mines.

Woomera intends to move forward with exploration programmes across its tenement position to test the licences' lithium prospectivity.

Pilbara Lithium Project

The Company holds two granted exploration licences and one exploration licence application in the Pilbara Craton close to the Pilgangoora and Wodgina mines. Previous lithium exploration drilling over the tenements was completed by Woomera in 2018 during a period of depressed lithium prices. Consequently no follow-up exploration has ever been completed.

Woomera now intends to extend the geochemical coverage away from the pegmatites intersected in the drilling to vector to LCT-rich zones/lenses within the intrusive sills that pervade throughout the tenements.

Lake Dundas (Lithium Carbonate) Project

Lake Dundas is believed to be enriched in lithium minerals based upon historical WA Department of Mines, Industry and Regulation's open file (WAMEX) shallow auger soil sampling results up to 54ppm Li and comparative enrichments in lithium bearing salt lakes around the world (Figure 3) (1). Adding to the project's prospectivity is its the proximity to Alliance Mineral Assets' Bald Hill lithium deposit and the Mt Dean lithium occurrences south of the Norseman township. Woomera considers that there is potential for Lake Dundas to act as a trap site and concentrate lithium minerals within the flat-lying lacustrine lake sediments.

The Company will drill a fence of vertical Aircore holes along the eastern shore of Lake Dundas where better thicknesses of lacustrine clays are believed to focus. The drilling remains subject to suitable rig availability and statutory approvals.

Ravensthorpe (Mt Cattlin) Lithium Project

Woomera believes there is good potential for the Mt Cattlin LCT pegmatite field to be more extensive than has been identified around the mine. The pegmatites may extend into Woomera's Ravensthorpe Project based upon the potential for multiple causitve granite intrusions and the relative timing of the LCT pegmatite intrusions into known breaks/faults thorughout the greenstone belt. Woomera intends to complete surface sampling looking for leakage from deeper link structures and /or sub-parallel pegmatite sills within its tenement.
