Summary: Tulla Resources
- Joint Venture with Pantoro for Norseman Gold Company tenements – first gold in August 2021; 43.5Mt @ 3.4g/t for 4.69Moz
- Also Iron Ore JV with Koch Metals (does not include PNR)
- Nickel exploration JV with PNR
- TUL/PNR Joint Venture with ASX: MIN for lithium rights at Norseman Lithium (next to LTR’s Buldania)
- TUL enterprise value is ~$110M at $0.62c, after accounting for cash and $30M in PNR shares
- TUL/PNR ran some “process” of identifying potential JV partners. MIN obviously had the best terms
- TUL own 50% oflithium currently; 37.5% after MIN establish JORC resource and DFS; 17.5% onceMIN commit to FID and funding to production
- Timeline: 3 yearstil production
- MIN initial planwas for 5000m RC drilling. Drilling began on the 9th March; theyhave drilled at least 6026m of RC. (Anna pegmatites go til 300m depth)
- Spodumene rocksamples from 0.96% - 3.96% Li2O and 12 – 240ppm Ta2O5
- Initial results expected in lateApril/Early May
- Brokers have a $1price target (Bell Potters, Canaccord Genuity)
- Mapping from 1985shows pegmatites in TUL land
Norseman Lithium vs Anna Deposit
Brokers have placed a $400-500M value on Liontown’s (ASX: LTR) Anna Deposit. Anna Deposit is 14.9Mt @ 0.97% Li. This table examines what MIN need to find to justify lithium value: current TUL enterprise value 1:1 (therefore a deposit of this size means a free operating gold mine JV). It estimates the Norseman lithium project on $100M intervals. Estimated tonnage required @ 1% Li2O based on Anna’s 0.0375Mt: $1M. This does not account for any future upside at LTR’s Anna deposit, which I strongly think will push 20Mt+.
- For the 50% earn in stage, MIN would need to find a deposit of approximately $200M in value or 7.45Mt @ 1% Li2O
- For the 37.5% earn-in stage, MIN would need to find a deposit of approximately $300M in value or 11.175Mt @ 1% Li2O
- For the 17.5% earn-in stage, MIN would need to find a deposit of approximately $600M in value – or something larger than Anna at Buldania, approximately 22Mt @ 1% Li2O
- For TUL/PNR to buy back 49.9% of the project, each earning 24.95%, MIN would need to find approximately $400M in value or 15Mt @ 1% Li2O, a second Anna at Buldania.

Expectations
Look at the lithium grades that Liontown is finding between their Anna deposit and their North-West project - this is directly along strike through TUL landDYOR. GLTAH. #LIFECHANGINGSTOCK #LITHIUM
I have emailed the company for further responses.
