King Col Pegmatite Trend

  • King Col lithium anomaly now extended to over 2km strike length (>108ppm Li2O)

  • Anomaly remains extensively open for 5 kms to the east on greenstone. Additional sampling planned to test pegmatite subcrop and quartz float across this anomaly.

  • Three internal higher grade anomalies (>200ppm Li2O) evident.

    Southern Zone 1200m long peak 943ppm Li2O Central Zone 1200m long peak 344ppm Li2O Eastern Zone 800m long peak 409ppm Li2O
  • The King Col Pegmatite Trend is considered highly prospective for Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) style pegmatite hosted mineralization similar to the Pilgangoora Lithium deposits located only 40km to the south and hosted in similar aged greenstone rocks.

  • No historical sampling or drilling for lithium mineralisation is known to have been undertaken along this newly discovered pegmatite trend.

Comment by Geology Manager, Andy Beckwith

"De Grey's gold and lithium potential continues to unfold.

Further detailed sampling will now be undertaken to test the remaining 5km of subcropping pegmatite. This sampling is anticipated to be completed during February to define specific priority drill targets which will be followed by subsequent heritage surveys and drill testing."

Turner River - Unlocking Shareholder Value

De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX: DEG, "De Grey", "Company") is pleased to advise that a program of detailed infill and extensional soil sampling has recently been completed over 2km of the 7km long newly discovered King Col Pegmatite Trend.

Results are very encouraging and have confirmed the previous anomalous zones with robust infill data defining a large and open 2km long anomaly based on >108ppm Li2O threshold. Three discrete higher grade priority zones occur within this broad anomaly.

Southern Zone 1200m long peak 943ppm Li2O Central Zone 1200m long peak 344ppm Li2O Eastern Zone 800m long peak 409ppm Li2O

Importantly, a further 5km of sub-cropping pegmatite and quartz float from weathered pegmatite remains to be sampled immediately to the east. This additional soil sampling is now planned to be completed during February.

The King Col Pegmatite Trend is located on De Grey's 100% owned exploration licence E45/2533 within the Turner River Project, located only 40km from the world class Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalum Project, 20km from the Tabba Tabba Tantalum Mine and 50km south of Port Hedland in the Pilbara, Western Australia (Figure 1).

Soil Sampling Program

This recent sampling program has focused on detailed infill sampling to 200m x 25m spacing within the previously announced 400m x 25m sampling area. An additional two lines, on a 200m x 25m basis, were also completed on the eastern end of the original discovery rock chip samples and subsequent soil anomaly.

A total of 153 additional samples were collected in this program with results presented in Figure 2 and Table 1. Overall, a broad and coherent 2km x 500m anomaly (green contour) and the three internal and more discrete higher grade zones (red contours) have now been defined.

Overall the King Col Pegmatite Trend is over 7km long based on previous mapping and limited rock chip sampling. This recent soil sampling program completes the western- most 2km of the overall pegmatite trend with a further 5km remaining open to the east, where large zones of sub-cropping weathered pegmatite and quartz rich float are evident. The anomaly is also bound to the south by a sand filled creek system where the surface soil sampling is restricted.

The soil anomaly is also supported by the previous coincident rock chip samples along the south-western end of the King Col Pegmatite Trend which returned best results of 4.22% Li2O associated with a small outcrop of the lithium bearing mineral - lepidolite, and an additional 8 samples ranging from 2.5% to 0.15% Li2O along the zone (refer to De Grey Mining Limited ASX release, dated 11 October 2016).
