"It is truly exciting to be exploring a project with extensive pegmatite outcrop only a few kilometres north of Pilbara Minerals' Pilgangoora mine at such a buoyant time in the lithium market. Based on the positive results of this brief initial orientation program, we believe the lithium fertility of the area is established and our stream sediment sampling protocol will effectively highlight areas of lithium anomalism and help us systematically hone in on drill targets."

ANOMALOUS LITHIUM TANTALUM GOLD AND LEAD onlyIDENTIFIED AT PILGANGOORA NORTH LITHIUM PROJECT

Peregrine Gold Limited ("Peregrine" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from its initial review of reconnaissance rock and stream sediment sampling undertaken on its recently acquired Pilgangoora North Lithium Project.

HIGHLIGHTS

use

Stream sediment sampling returned up to 289ppm lithium in a catchment with no reported pegmatite

veining

A second stream sediment sample returned up to 1768ppm tantalum

Gold anomalism highlighted by 11.3ppm Au (FA) reported in a stream sediment sample

A historical lead occurrence reported up to 9.3% Pb and 24ppm Ag with visible galena observed

personal

An orientation/reconnaissance field trip to Peregrine Gold Ltd lithium project (E45/5775) returned anomalous lithium, tantalum, gold, lead and silver anomalism at several locations within the tenement. Minedex has recorded tantalum, lithium, tin, beryllium, gold and lead occurrences within the tenement.

The objective of the one and a half day field trip was to confirm the presence of widespread pegmatite veins published within the DMIRS data base as well as collect a number of orientation rock and stream sediment amples.

Technical Director George Merhi stated on the results of the program:

A total of 26 rock samples (22PLR 1 to 26) comprising predominately pegmatite material were collected Foreach weighing approximately 10 to 15 kilograms and represent a 5 metre composite sample across strike and dip. As well 6 damp stream sediment trap site samples comprising only -5mm fraction material and each weighing approximately 7 to 10 kilograms were collected. It was not possible to sieve to all size fractions in the field due to significant rainfall in the Pilbara prior to the field trip resulting in a damp alluvial pile. Once the samples were dried, the samples were sieved to both coarse (-5mm+2mm) and fine (-2mm) fractions, each approximately 3 kilograms, for geochemical analysis. A subset of the fine fraction material weighing approximately 5 kilograms was retained for panning (22PLST 1C to 6C and 22PLST 1F to 6F

including duplicates).

Rock samples 22PLR 1 to 21 and 24 to 26 comprised pegmatitic material from several locations within the tenement. A maximum lithium result of 87ppm Li was reported from sample 22PLR 8.

Rock samples 22PLR 22 and 23 were collected at a historical lead occurrence. At this occurrence, a small onlycostean approximately 5 metres long, 2 metres wide and 1 metre deep was observed and trenched into vein quartz. The spoils comprised quartz material with obvious visible galena crystals 3-4mm across. No

other costeans or drill pads were seen in the vicinity.

For Figure 1: Location of the Pilgangoora stream samples

The extensive pegmatites published by the DMIRS were observed during the field trip. The extensive exposure of the pegmatites is attributed to the shallow (approximately 10 to 20 degrees) easterly dip and the resulting erosional patterns especially in the southern portion of the tenement. In the central portion of the tenement an outcrop of pegmatite was dipping at approximately 50 degrees to the northwest and in the

The limited stream sediment sampling programme has revealed that anomalous Li, Cs and Ta is present within the tenement even though the limited rock sampling programme has not identified enriched LCT pegmatites thus far.

Stream sediment sample 22PLST 1 located in the southern portion of the tenement reported 289ppm Li and 407.5ppm Ta in the fine fraction. At this sample location, no pegmatites have been reported and none were observed in the vicinity of the sample site. This sample also returned significant gold anomalism with 546ppb

ForAu (CN1).

Stream sediment sample 22PLST 5 was collected to test the stream catchment for gold and lithium/tantalum anomalism. Approximately 80 metres upstream the gold occurrence "Birthday Gift" is located and extensive pegmatite outcrop is exposed on either side of the drainage. This sample returned 68ppm Li (duplicate 59ppm Li) in the fine fraction and 1768ppm Ta (duplicate 978ppm Ta) in the coarse fraction samples. Three rock samples (22PLR 24 to 26) collected on the west side of the stream sample site 22PLST 5 failed to return elevated LCT anomalism suggesting that the source of the LCT stream anomalism has yet to be sampled.

The gold reported in stream sediment sample 22PLST 5 was highly anomalous with 1002ppb Au (CN1) repeated 234ppb Au (CN1-duplicate) in the fine fraction as well as 11.3ppm Au (FA) in the fine fraction. Panning returned 49 gold pieces.

Stream sediment sample 22PLST 2 designed to test extensive pegmatitic material in the catchment failed onlyto return significantly elevated Li/Cs/Ta anomalism although this sample returned 74ppb Au (CN1) and over

40 pieces of gold in the pan.

Subject to grant of the tenement, the following exploration programme is proposed:

Reconnaissance stream sediment trap site sampling across the entire tenement to assess for Li/Cs/Ta anomalism. As the mineralogical characteristics of lithium and tantalum minerals are unique and contrast, it may be possible to use any tantalum anomalism as a pathfinder to identify catchments with lithium rich pegmatites. Subject to the geochemical response from the reconnaissance stream sediment sampling, it may also be possible to assess tenement scale zoning pattern of the rare element suite via catchment

useanalysis in order to vector locations within the project area where highly fractionated pegmatites may be located.

Reconnaissance stream sediment sampling across the entire tenement to assess the gold prospectivity. There are several historical gold occurrences and recent limited stream sediment sampling has highlighted the gold prospectivity within the tenement; and

Detailed stream sediment, soil and rock sampling in the vicinity of the lead occurrence where visible galena was observed and recent rock sampling returned significant lead and silver anomalism.
