Ann: Force to Proceed with DRC Project Lithium Acquisition, page-14

​

Independent technical due diligence has identified significant occurrences of visible spodumene and other lithium bearing minerals in pegmatite exposures across widespread areas within the Kitotolo Lithium Project
▪ Kitotolo Lithium Project determined to be in the same geological setting as AVZ Minerals Limited’s (ASX:AVZ) ‘world-class’ Manono Project
▪ Large artisanal cassiterite workings within the Kitotolo Lithium Project license area inspected and confirmed as containing abundant pegmatite rock types and mineralisation, including spodumene, lepidolite and other associated micas
▪ Pegmatites on the Kitotolo Lithium Project observed as being close to surface, and underlying a regional laterite cover of up to 6 metres thickness.
▪ Numerous pegmatite inclusions on the Kitotolo Lithium Project mapped in lateritic cover over several hundred metres from the artisanal workings
