Birimian Limited provided a further update on the status of reverse circulation (RC) and auger drilling programs and other general progress being made at the Goulamina Lithium Project (the Project) in southern Mali. The 9,000m resource definition drilling program at Sangar, Main and West is proceeding as planned, with 5,133m of RC drilling (46 holes) completed to the end of 2017 by Birimian's contractor, Amco Drilling Mali SARL (Amco). Three drill rigs have been operating at Goulamina ­ two dual purpose RC-diamond rigs, operated by Amco, and an auger rig, operated by Sahara Mining Services Limited (Sahara). Drilling was suspended between 23 December 2017 and 01 January 2018. All three rigs are now back in operation. Drilling since mid-December 2017 has occurred on West, Main, Sangar I & II and Danaya. To date, both dual purpose rigs have operated in RC mode. One rig has now switched to diamond drilling, with the objective of collecting samples for metallurgical testwork, geotechnical analysis and obtaining geochemical samples for verification where twinning will be carried out on some existing RC holes. All RC chip samples collected by 23 December 2017 were submitted to the ALS Laboratory in Bamako, Mali, and were despatched to the ALS Laboratory in Perth for analysis. To-date, analytical data have been received for approximately 75% of the drill holes completed. The recent RC drilling has focused on fully delineating the Sangar resource, which previously had been defined by only six drill holes. Sangar now has been drilled on a sectional spacing of 50 to 100m over 1.1km of strike to a vertical depth of 125 to 150m (figures 1,2; Annexure 1). These holes have shown that: The extent of lithium-bearing pegmatite has been extended from 200m to more than 1.1km and remains open to north, south and at depth; Sangar consists of not one, but two discrete parallel spodumene-bearing pegmatites; These have been named Sangar I and II; Both Sangar pegmatites are thicker than the Main and West pegmatites; Li2O grades are typically higher in both Sangar pegmatites than at Main and West; The depth of weathering (and hence the probability of Li depletion) is generally greater at Sangar than at Main and West. Significant intersections from the Sangar I and II assays are: 41m at 2.11% Li2O% from 71m; 50m at 2.08% Li2O% from 92m; 58m at 1.93% Li2O% from 20m; 35m at 1.96% Li2O% from 58m; 47m at 1.82% Li2O% from 32m; 53m at 1.79% Li2O% from 48m; 68m at 2.03% Li2O% from 64m; 60m at 2.02% Li2O% from 42m; 62m at 2.11% Li2O% from 66m. The steeply-dipping Danaya pegmatite body is more than 100m thick on section 1254100mN. Hole GMRC174 returned a total apparent thickness of 76m of mineralised material, terminating in ore and including 23m at 1.81% Li2O and 13m at 2.46% Li2O. Hole GMRC173 intersected 80m of mineralised material which included 40m at 1.66% Li2O. The full thickness of pegmatite has not been defined on section 1254300mN. Only one of the three holes on this section intersected unweathered pegmatite: hole GMRC177 returned 47m at 1.44% Li2O before terminating in mineralised pegmatite. The depth of weathering at Danaya varies from 45m on section 1254100mN to 77m on 1254300mN. Saprolitic (weathered) pegmatite shows marked depletion in Li2O, with few intersections exceeding the nominal cut-off grade of 0.4%. The transition from saprolite to fresh pegmatite is a sharp one, reflected in steep increase in Li2O grades across the boundary.
