Maiden Lithium Resource of 3.2Mt for the Mina do Barroso Lithium Project, Portugal with Significant Expansion Potential
Savannah Resources plc (AIM: SAV) ('Savannah' or 'the Company'), the AIM quoted resource development company, is pleased to announce a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate of 3.2 million tonnes for the Reservatorio Deposit, which is one of three targets currently being advanced as part of the ongoing exploration and development programme for the Mina do Barroso Lithium Project ('Mina do Barroso' or the 'Project') in northern Portugal (Figure 1). Crucially further upside remains as the drill programme is ongoing, with the aim of further expanding the Reservatorio Mineral Resource and defining new JORC - 2012 compliant Mineral Resource Estimates at other deposits. To view the press release with the illustrative maps and diagrams please use the following link:
http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/5746Z_-2017-12-17.pdf
HIGHLIGHTS:
· Initial Inferred Mineral Resource of 3.2Mt at 1.0% Li₂O containing 32,000t of Li₂O for Reservatorio Deposit
· Reservatorio is one of at least eight pegmatite deposits on the Mina do Barroso Mining Lease and one of three deposits currently being drilled
· Further drilling is now planned both down dip and targeting the potential eastern extension of the deposit where higher lithium grades occur
· Mineral Resource updates are likely for Reservatorio during 2018 as the drilling programme continues
· A maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Grandao deposit is expected during Q1 2018
· Drilling is ongoing and will take a short break over Christmas before commencing again in early January at which time a second rig will be introduced to accelerate the drilling programme
Savannah's CEO, David Archer said: "That we have an estimated 3.2 million tonne Resource from just one of at least eight pegmatite deposits at our Mina do Barroso Lithium Project gives an indication of the potential scale of this project. We are now focused on defining a significant aggregate Mineral Resource from the multiple pegmatites that sit within the major lithium mineralised corridor that runs through our Mining Lease. The first to add to this aggregate Mineral Resource will be the high-grade (up to 2.1% Li₂O) Grandao deposit where we have completed extensive drilling and expect to deliver a Resource Estimate in the first quarter of 2018.
"The drilling results announced to date continue to underscore the potential of the Mina do Barroso Lithium Project to be a strategic upstream feature in the European lithium value chain. We believe Mina do Barroso is the closest European analogue to the very successful Australian hard-rock, open cut mine developments, which produce highly sought-after lithium spodumene concentrates for international markets. Our focus is therefore on rapidly advancing the project so that we can look to provide a European source of battery-grade lithium to supply the growing number of European battery manufacturers. With this in mind, we look forward to continuing to advance at pace our drilling and metallurgical test work programmes, which will be used to support an early scoping study around a potential mine development."

Outstanding Lithium Results identified at the Mina do Barroso Lithium Project, Portugal Zone of continuous lithium mineralisation over 100m in width intersected
Savannah Resources plc (AIM: SAV) ('Savannah' or 'the Company'), the AIM quoted resource development company, is pleased to announce new and outstanding results from the ongoing reverse circulation ('RC') drill programme at the Mina do Barroso Lithium Project ('Mina do Barroso' or the 'Project') located in Portugal (Figure 1). The drill programme, which is aiming to generate a JORC - 2012 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate, has returned significant intersections of lithium mineralisation. To view the press release with the illustrative maps and diagrams please use the following link: http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/1552Z_-2017-12-12.pdf
HIGHLIGHTS:
· Total of 66 holes for 5,558m completed to date as part of the ongoing RC drill programme
· Drill results from three deposits being targeted confirm the outstanding potential of Mina do Barroso - Savannah believes these intercepts represent some of the best lithium spodumene intersections ever reported for a European deposit
· Grandao:
o Mineralised zone over 100m intersected: results from recent drilling has recorded the broadest and most significant results for the project to date. Key results include:
§ 109m at 1.04% Li₂O from surface (uncut), including 52m at 1.32% Li₂O in 17GRARC17
§ 71m at 1.06% Li₂O from 88m, including 57m at 1.2% Li₂O in 17GRARC19
§ 31m at 1.2% Li₂O from surface in 17GRARC12
§ 25m at 1.15% Li₂O from 36m in 17GRARC23
o New high-grade zone discovered: drill testing of a newly identified sub-vertical pegmatite body has been successful, identifying a new high-grade zone of mineralisation. Results from the first drill hole include:
§ 25m at 1.49% Li₂O from 32m including 14m at 2.1% Li₂O in 17GRARC20
o Drill programme extended - an additional 16 holes have been added to the drilling programme to help outline the full potential of the Grandao deposit
o Pegmatite and structural experts on site, to assist in developing the mineralisation model for these outstanding new results at Grandao
· Reservatorio:
o Deposit expanded - assay results confirm that the lithium mineralisation extends to over 400m strike length, with good down dip extensions of at least 100m. New assay results include:
§ 32m at 1.05% Li₂O from 78m in 17RESRC17
§ 15m at 1.19% Li₂O from 79m in 17RESRC16
o Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for Reservatorio, expected by the end of 2017
· NOA - further drilling and results pending: drilling of a further 6 holes has confirmed the presence of lithium mineralisation over a 200m strike length together with good down dip extensions of at least 50m and pegmatite widths up to 15m
· Phase 2 of the metallurgical test work programme underway - samples taken from Grandao, Reservatorio and NOA being tested with results expected in early 2018
Savannah's CEO, David Archer said: "We believe these are outstanding results that represent some of the best lithium spodumene intersections ever reported for a European deposit. Additionally, they highlight the potential of the extensive pegmatite systems in the northern part of Portugal to host major deposits of lithium.
"The results from Grandao are particularly exciting as there are some exceptional widths and high-grades reported and the geometry of what we are seeing suggests that there is potential for a low stripping ratio, open-cut mine development. It is important to remember that all of the results are from deposit areas for which we have a granted mining lease.
"These results continue to underscore the potential of the Mina do Barroso Project to be a strategic upstream feature in the European lithium value chain. From an investment perspective, we see the Project as the closest European analogue to the very successful Australian hard-rock, open cut mine developments which produce highly sought-after lithium spodumene concentrates for international markets.
"Ongoing drilling and metallurgical test work will be used to support an early scoping study around a potential mine development."
