Calidus Resources – Pirra Lithium High-grade lithium pegmatite doubled to 2.5km strike

Latest assays up to 2.75% Li2O; Drilling scheduled to start within weeks

Calidus Resources Limited (ASX:CAI) is pleased to announce outstanding results from
further rock-chip sampling and mapping by Pirra Lithium at its Spear Hill discovery
announced in January 2022

Pirra Lithium is owned equally by Calidus Resources and Haoma Mining NL2

HIGHLIGHTS
• Calidus’ 50 per cent owned Pirra Lithium has extended the strike length
of the lithium pegmatite at Spear Hill in WA’s Pilbara to 2.5km
• Second batch of rock chips confirm lithium grades up to 2.75% Li2O
• Assays from a second parallel pegmatite returned up to 1.67% Li2O
• An application for a Programs of Work (PoW) has been lodged with DMIRS


Assays have been received for a further 70 rock-chip samples of the pegmatite and
adjacent country rocks. The samples were collected from the main pegmatite, to the
west-northwest of those reported earlier1 and from an interpreted fault offset of the
dyke to the north-east.

The assays confirm that the main pegmatite is lithium-bearing for more than 2.5km
along strike, and verify that a second, less well-defined pegmatite about 250m to the
north of the discovery pegmatite is mineralised with assays yielding 0.35-0.77% Li2O.

 

.

Calidus Resources management comments

“These strong assays show clearly that we have a significant lithium pegmatite with high grades.

 

“In light of these results, we are gearing up for a maiden drilling program later this quarter.

 

“There is immense prospectivity across the large tenement package and rights owned
by Pirra Lithium. Our exploration to date has only scratched the surface of a small part
of the tenure”.

Gold was rising nicely until the FOMC meeting, but then reversed and lost value as the FED’s hawkish stance reversed earlier gains, see HERE.

Gold often bottoms just before rate hikes kick in, and then rises afterwards, so we should remain vigilant for opportunities.

Mining Review Sunday Update 23rd January 2022

City Investors Circle Mining Review 23rd January 2022

Gold had a good week as the markets wobbled quite substantially, especially the tech laden NASDAQ index, a long overdue shake out surely?

Copper, nickel, tin, cobalt, and lithium are all looking strong as the anticipated demand for these battery metals forces up prices. The UK has just announced a gigafactory will be built.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 23rd January 2022

Gold had a good week as the markets wobbled quite substantially, especially the tech laden NASDAQ index, a long overdue shake out surely?

All the energy metals, Copper, nickel, tin, cobalt, and lithium are all looking strong as the demand for these battery metals forces up prices.

Lithium is reaching new highs every week at the moment and one wonders how sustainable that, is? Still, if the demand is there, and there are currently no commercially proven substitutes to the Li-ion battery, lithium will remain in strong demand.

The UK has just announced a gigafactory will be built in Northumberland, assisting an area of high unemployment.  This of course will increase the demand for lithium and other battery metals even further.

It’s also maybe a sign of a beleaguered government looking for brownie points as they seem to be losing the ‘red wall’?   Or am I too cynical?

There has been a lot of newsflow from the mining companies since the start of the year, as news is released into the buying season after the end of year tax loss selling in Canada. Sadly many share prices are still falling, despite gold now around the US$1835 mark, after being much lower recently.

I do wonder how much further the junior miners can fall given the recent increases in both precious and industrial metal prices? The whole sector seems forgotten and unloved, surely that has to change soon?

Calidus Resources Limited (ASX: CAI) is pleased to announce that it has a 50 per cent
interest in a new Pilbara lithium exploration company.

The company, Pirra Lithium Pty Ltd (Pirra Lithium), is owned equally by Calidus and
Haoma Mining NL (Haoma).

Pirra Lithium will be assigned tenements and lithium rights across the most prospective
lithium ground in the Calidus and Haoma portfolios. These tenements and lithium rights
cover 1,063km2
.

Highlights

Substantial pegmatites have already been mapped on the tenements, several of which
are associated with known tin-tantalum fields.

.

Location

Pirra Lithium has access to tenements totaling 1,063km2 as shown in Figure 1. The
tenements were selected based on lithium prospectivity from Calidus’ and Haoma’s
extensive landholdings in the East Pilbara.

..

Calidus Resources management comments

“The formation of the joint venture with Haoma gives Calidus a low-cost opportunity to gain exposure to an increased area of ground that has been targeted for its lithium potential.

 

“Pirra Lithium creates a highly-leveraged exploration opportunity for our shareholders.

 

“There is clearly potential to unlock substantial value by exploring what is highly prospective lithium ground in one of the world’s best lithium provinces.

 

“We can capitalise on this opportunity without it having any impact on our core asset at Warrawoona, where we are on track to pour first gold in the coming quarter.

 

“As part of this strategy to create additional value for our shareholders while
maintaining our sharp focus on Warrawoona, we are establishing a separate dedicated
team to pursue this lithium opportunity.”

City Investors Circle Annual Review 2021 published

The Review covers the best performing stocks that have presented to us in London, the biggest risers from the watchlist during 2021, as well as the commodities that rose the most over the last year.

 

The Review looks at the performance of a large group of companies that have presented live to us in London since 2014, and the results vindicate the value of attending company presentations.

 

We then cover the best performing companies on the watchlist in 2021, where there have been some significant gains, and few losses, despite a poor market.

 

Four of the companies on the watchlist were bought out in 2021, two of the deals we liked as they look to make sense, the other two, and in particular Roxgold’s sale to Fortuna Silver look like a poor deal in my opinion.

 

Finally we look at the commodities’ performance over the last year, where most gained and very few went down.

Mining Review Sunday Update 19th September

The story of the week again, sadly, was the falling gold price, into the mid 1700’s, due to better than expected US retail figures, and a strengthening US dollar.

Iron ore is another casualty, but for a different reason.  Coking coal is roofing it as supply is tight, bring companies like Colonial Coal into investor focus.

Mining Review Sunday Update 19th September

The story of the week again, sadly, was the falling gold price, into the mid 1700’s, due to better than expected US retail figures, and a strengthening US dollar.

Iron ore is another casualty, but for a different reason, the Chinese government is limiting steel production for the remainder of 2021, causing a sharp drop in demand for iron ore.

Coking coal is roofing it as supply is tight, bring companies like Colonial Coal into investor focus. The price has more than doubled in a few short months.

 

Stocks on our watchlist making news this week

Orla Mining Placed 8th in the TSX30 for stock price performance over three years.

Wesdome GoldPlaced 10th in the TSX30 for stock price performance over three years.

Apollo ConsolidatedDefined some robust gold zones at Lake Rebecca

Fiore GoldAmended their Pan Mine Technical Report

NeometalsThe Primobius JV have started phase 2 of their battery recycling project

Bardoc Gold Highlighted the potential to grow the Zorastrian deposit

 

Market Data

 

Precious metals

Gold 1755 -2%
Silver 22.4 -6%
Palladium 2015 -8%
Platinum 943 -1%
Rhodium 14500 -6%

Gold got thumped by some unexpectedly good US retail numbers, and fell sharply back through to around $1,760.   Silver took an ever harder beating, losing 6% in 5 trading days.

Palladium was knocked back on lower car production due to a shortage of micro chips, and reports that some manufacturers are switching to platinum due to the lower cost.

 

 

Base metals

Copper 4.22 0%
Nickel 9 -2%
Zinc 1.39 0%
Tin 15.85 3%

 

 

Energy Metals

Cobalt 22.19 -1%
Manganese 2.87 -1%
Lithium 22941 +16%
Uranium 44 +9%

Lithium is roaring away as supply concerns are forcing battery companies to try and secure supply at ever higher prices.

Uranium is rising rapidly due to the actions of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust buying a significant quantity on the spot market to warehouse, thus driving up prices. Sprott has just announced it is raising another $1 billion for uranium purchases. I wonder if Sprott is related to the Hunt brothers?

 

Bulk commodities

Iron Ore 102 -25%
Coking Coal 359 +22%

Quite an extraordinary divergence here, with iron ore slumping due to Chinese steel production limitations at the same time as a real coking coal supply crunch.

 

Miscellaneous

GDX 30.58 -3%
GDXJ 40.48 -1%
Sil 37.46 -4%
SILJ 12.46 -3%
GLD 163.77 -2%
Au / Ag Ratio 75.94 +1%
10 yr Tbond 1.371 2%
US  index (DXY) 93.26 1%
HUI 237.63 -2%

The precious metal ETF’s had predicable falls, given the losses on the other precious metals, as the US dollar strengthened.

The gold / silver ratio is widening again just as it seemed to be returning to a more normal level.
