Cougar Metals NL provided an update on exploration activities with the Ceara Lithium Project, Brazil (CGM 85%). Two areas of focus exist within the project ­ namely Solonopole and Cristais with initial exploration efforts focusing on the Solonopole Area located in the central part of Ceará State, 276km by sealed road South of the city of Fortaleza, Brazil. The city of Solonopole has a population of 18,000 and is principally an agricultural focused support centre for surrounding cattle farms. However, 30-40 years ago the region was known for intense artisanal mining activity where small mines were operated for the extraction of tantalite-columbite, spodumene, ambligonite, beryl, crystal, albite and tourmaline. Government mapping and sampling undertaken by Brazil Government Mining Department (DNPM) in 2012 identified more than 200 pegmatites over a 40 km by 10 km region which host the historical mines and has been the focus of Cougar's recent exploration work. Solonopole Project: The Solonopole project comprises of 26 granted exploration permits with an additional four permits granted in recent days. These permits cover an area of 42,630 Ha or 426 square kilometres. Cougar's exploration geologist has been based in Solonopole since mid May 2017 conducting mapping, sampling and general reconnaissance activities to systematically assess the large tenement package. The Geologist has utilised local knowledge to assist with the exploration and identification of historical mines. The mapping and reconnaissance activity consists of planning the routes, requesting authorisations from landowners and traversing historic roads and trails in search of occurrences of mineralised pegmatites and abandoned mines. GPS recordings are undertaken of the routes, positions of structural features, photos and sample collection points. 10 prospects have been identified with mineralised pegmatites to date and are the current priority for exploration efforts. Soil sampling programs consisting of a 50x50m grid has been undertaken across the 10 priority prospects to assist in defining the strike extents. A description of the 10 Prospects: The Solonopole project was initially subject to a remote sensing and airborne geophysical targeting exercise undertaken by Southern Geoscience in Perth. This exercise identified 4 key targets within the current permits. These targets have been followed up with on ground evaluation by Cougar's geologist, which has so far identified the 10 priority prospects. These priority areas are all associated with historical mining, with both open pit and underground working identified. Lithium minerals identified in the 10 prospects include Ambligonite, Spodumene and Lepidolite, and typically have associated minor columbite and tantalite mineralisation. A total of 61 grab samples have been collected to date, and an additional 242 soil samples taken over the 10 priority prospects. All samples have been submitted for analysis with SGS laboratories in Belo Horizonte, Brazil with results expected within the next 2 weeks. Cougar is continuing ongoing geological reconnaissance and sampling. Following the return of results, Cougar will advance the priority prospects to define mineralized trends to enable the generation of drill targets. Solonopole represents one of only 2 known lithium producing areas in all of Brazil. Cougar, as first movers, have established a dominant holding within this region. Cougar intends to remain in suspension pending the release of assay results pertaining to its Toamasina Graphite Project.
