Notes to Editors:
IronRidge Resources is an AIM-listed, Africa focussed minerals
exploration company with a lithium pegmatite discovery in Ghana,
extensive grassroots gold portfolio in Côte d'Ivoire and a
potential new gold province discovery in Chad. The Company holds
legacy iron ore assets in Gabon and a bauxite resource in
Australia. IronRidge's strategy is to create and sustain
shareholder value through the discovery and development of
significant and globally demanded commodities.
Côte d'Ivoire
The Company entered into conditional earn-in arrangements in
Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa; securing access rights to highly
prospective gold mineralised structures and pegmatite occurrences
covering a combined 3,584km(2) and 1,172km(2) area respectively.
The projects are well located within access of an extensive bitumen
road network and along strike from multi-million-ounce gold
projects and mines. The Company's most advanced project is the
Zaranou gold project which includes high-grade gold drilling
intersections along 8km strike including 6m at 6.44g/t gold from
132m, 6m at 15.11g/t gold from 26m, 4m at 5.16g/t gold from 110m
and 22m at 3.39g/t gold from 8m within a broader 47km long gold
anomalous structure.
Ghana
The Cape Coast Lithium portfolio covers some 684km(2) and
includes the newly discovered Ewoyaa Lithium Project with a maiden
Mineral Resource estimate of 14.5Mt at 1.31% Li(2) O in the
inferred and indicated category including 4.5Mt @ 1.39% Li(2) O in
the indicated category (reported in accordance with the JORC Code).
A Scoping Study on the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, announced in January
2021, supports a business case for a 2.0 Million tonnes per annum
production operation, producing an average 295,000tpa of 6% Li(2) O
spodumene concentrate, with life of mine revenues exceeding US$1.55
Billion. The Company entered into earn-in arrangements with Obotan
Minerals Limited, Merlink Resources Limited, Barari Developments
Limited and Joy Transporters Limited of Ghana, West Africa,
securing the first access rights to acquire the historical
Egyasimanku Hill spodumene rich lithium deposit, estimated to be in
the order of 1.48Mt at 1.67% Li(2) O and surrounding tenements. The
tenure package is also prospective for tin, tantalum, niobium,
caesium and gold, which occur as accessory minerals within the
pegmatites and host formations.
Chad
The Company entered into an agreement with Tekton Minerals Pte
Ltd of Singapore concerning its portfolio covering 746km(2) of
highly prospective gold and other mineral projects in Chad, Central
Africa. IronRidge acquired 100% of Tekton including its projects
and team to advance the Dorothe, Echbara, Am Ouchar, Nabagay and
Kalaka licenses, which host multiple, large scale gold projects.
Trenching results at Dorothe, including 84m at 1.66g/t Au
(including 6m at 5.49g/t & 8m at 6.23g/t), 4m at 18.77g/t Au

3.22g/t), 24m at 2.53g/t Au (including 6m at 4.1g/t (including 2m

and 63.2g/t over 1m, have defined significant gold mineralised
quartz veining zones over a 3km by 1km area including the steep
dipping 'Main Vein' and shallow dipping 'Sheeted Vein' zones.
Australia
Monogorilby is prospective for province scale titanium and
bauxite, with an initial maiden resource of 54.9MT of premium DSO
bauxite. Monogorilby is located in central Queensland, within a
short trucking distance of the rail system leading north to the
Port of Bundaberg. It is also located within close proximity of the
active Queensland Rail network heading south towards the Port of
Brisbane.
Gabon
Tchibanga is located in south-western Gabon, in the Nyanga
Province, within 10-60km of the Atlantic coastline. This project
comprises two exploration licenses, Tchibanga and Tchibanga Nord,
which cover a combined area of 3,396km(2) and include over 90km of
prospective lithologies and the historic Mont Pele iron

Ogooue-Ivindo Province, approximately 400km east of the capital
city of Libreville. IRR's licence lies between the main Belinga
Iron Ore Deposit, believed to be one of the world's largest
untapped reserves of iron ore with an estimated 1bt of iron ore at
a grade >60% Fe, and the route of the Trans Gabonese railway,
which currently carries manganese ore and timber from Franceville
to the Port of Owendo in Libreville.
