spodumene pegmatites >70m wide with Li(2) O grades >
3.12%
o Continuous rock chipping returning broad zones of lithium
mineralisation including 30m at 1.18% Li(2) O, 30m at 1.35% Li(2) O
and 35m at 1.67% Li(2) O
o High-grade drill results which commence from at or near
surface including 32m at 1.16% Li(2) O from 20m, 12m at 1.6% Li(2)
O from 1m and 16m at 1.35% Li(2) O from surface;
-- Preliminary metallurgical test work has indicated that a
high-grade (over 6% Li(2) O), clean, low iron, lithium concentrate
can be produced;
-- Further exploration underway including mapping and rock chip
sampling with drilling expected to commence in around two weeks
with the initial focus on defining a JORC resource at Mina do
Barroso to support a potential mine development;
-- Acquisition is part of an enlarged acquisition that included
a 75% interest in four project areas covering up to 1,018km(2) of
tenure with proven high-grade lithium mineralisation offering
additional upside potential;
-- Secured Portuguese operating partner Mineralia Minas,
Geotecnia e Construcoes, Lda., which has commissioned over 11
quarries and mines in Portugal;
-- Portugal has consistently ranked highly in the world for
desirability for investment (2016 Fraser Institute study) and is in
the top 7 lithium-producing countries (linked to the ceramics
industry); and
-- Consideration for the Transaction will comprise of initial
cash consideration of AUD$1.0million plus the issue of 20,000,000
ordinary shares of 1p each in Savannah ('Ordinary Shares') to the
Vendors.
-- Additional milestone based, conditional consideration, as
summarised below, which could lead to an aggregate consideration of
AUD$10.1m (GBP5.8m) (cash and shares) based on Savannah's closing
share price on 24 May 2017.
Savannah's CEO, David Archer said: "This transaction provides
Savannah with a unique opportunity to secure what we believe to be
one of the most advanced lithium mining concessions in Europe, in a
low-cost and stable political environment. With an approved Mining
Plan, Environmental Impact Assessment, Mining Licence and the
potential to produce high grade lithium product, we believe the
Mina do Barroso prospect could transform the European lithium /
Electric Vehicle ('EV') industry by becoming the first producer of
battery quality lithium in Europe.
"Mainland Europe currently consumes around 25% of the world's
lithium and is an early adopter of EVs and battery storage
solutions. With battery production by major European manufacturers
rapidly expanding, any potential local supplies from mainland
Europe are being keenly sought and we believe the Mina do Barroso,
together with our enlarged portfolio of lithium assets in Portugal,
is ideally situated to address this strategic need. Work is now
underway to define a JORC resource at Mina do Barroso so that we
may be in a position to make a development decision by the end of
2018. This is undoubtedly a highly strategic and valuable growth
opportunity for Savannah."
FURTHER INFORMATION
Savannah is acquiring a 75% interest in actual and contingent
assets spread over four project areas with over 1,018km(2) of
tenure including: one granted mining concession (5.42km(2) ), and
nine pending exploration licence applications (the 'Projects').
Of the 1,018km(2) Project area relating to the pending
applications: 348km(2) is on track for government approval and
670km(2) is currently subject in part to overlapping exploration
licence applications from third parties.
1) TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON THE PROJECTS
The advanced nature of the Mina do Barroso prospect, with an
approved ML, MP and EIA means that with the definition of a JORC
resource, a development decision could potentially be made by the
end of 2018. Mina do Barroso is part of the enlarged Covas do
Barroso Project area.

(i) Covas do Barroso Project
The presence of swarms of known 'lithium-bearing pegmatite
dykes' has made this region a key focus for Savannah. The initial
emphasis is on the Covas do Barroso area, which includes:
1) the advanced 'Mina do Barroso' prospect with approved mining licence;
2) the highly prospective Vilar (223km(-) -(2) ), and Beca prospects; and
3) Reigoso which contains extensive un-explored spodumene bearing pegmatites.
The Barroso-Alvão region is characterised by the presence of a
large field of several dozen pegmatite and aplite-pegmatite dykes
of granitic composition. Pegmatite dykes are mainly intruded in the
granitic rocks of the region whilst aplite-pegmatite dykes are
hosted by low- to medium-grade metasedimentary rocks of Silurian
age that are strongly deformed (B. CHAROY et al.,1992). The
thickness of these dykes ranges from less than 1m up to 70m with
the primary focus on lithium rich spodumene-rich aplite-pegmatite
dykes.
Mina Do Barroso Prospect
Based on the work Savannah has undertaken to date, the Directors
believe that the Mina Do Barroso prospect is arguably one of the
most advanced lithium development projects in Europe with the
potential to be fast tracked into production.
Past Exploration
Previous work on the prospect has focused on the production of
ceramics and not lithium. As a result, the lithium work is largely
unstructured but points to significant potential in a relatively
underexplored series of pegmatites that have not had their strike,
width or down dip potential defined. Work has included
reconnaissance geological mapping, trenching, drilling and
preliminary metallurgical test work.
Geology and Rock Chip Sampling
The Mina do Barroso Prospect comprises a series of well-defined
pegmatites up to 50m in width and 400m in length, with past
exploration confirming the presence of lithium within the
pegmatites. A series of high priority opportunities have been
defined within the prospect area (Savannah Rock Chips Appendix 2A,
Vendor Rock Chips Appendix 2B), these include:
NOA
Rock chip sampling by Savannah during April 2017 including
continuous rock chips and scattered rock chips average 1.5% Li O.
The continuous rock chipping outlined significant widths of
mineralisation including:
- 30m at 1.18% Li(2) O in NOA 1
- 30m at 1.35% Li(2) O in NOA 2
- 35m at 1.67% Li(2) O in NOA 3
This sampling confirms the prospectivity of the NOA area with a
series of pegmatites in the area which require further detailed and
systematic exploration.
Reservatorio
Rock chip sampling by Savannah during April 2017 targeting
spodumene bearing pegmatites has confirm the prospectivity of the
Reservatorio Lens as the samples ranged from 0.87% Li2O to 2.7%
Li2O and averaged 1.6% Li2O. Significant potential exists in the
Reservatorio area with the potential for the pegmatite to extend
over 400m in strike length.
Grandao
The Grandao area contains some of the most extensive pegmatite
outcrop in the Mina do Barroso prospect area. Recent rock chip
sampling by Savannah in April 2017 in the area returned results of
1.41% Li O to 2.07% Li O with an average 1.79% Li2O, the highest
average grade for any of the Mina do Barroso aplo-pegmatites.
However, it should be noted that there is only limited sampling to
date and further work is required to determine the potential of the
area.

Trenching
A programme of 26 trenches was completed during 2002 ranging
from 10m to 125m in length has identified a series of pegmatites
ranging from 10-50m in width and up to 400m in length. The
trenching was focused on identifying the pegmatites and testing the
near surface material for ceramics properties, no lithium sampling
was completed.
Figure 8. 2002 trenching being conducted - see PDF link
Drilling
Exploration work by past explorers has included a series of
shallow drill holes (115 holes ranging from 7m to 84m in depth,
with 75 holes confirmed to contain anomalous lithium) targeting
near surface ceramic material (refer to Appendix 1). Lithium
analysis has highlighted significant anomalies including:
* 10m at 1.1% Li(2) O from surface in CB2 (EOH) * 19m at 1.03% Li(2) O from 21m in RES01C
* 7m at 1.22% Li(2) O from surface in CB2 (EOH) * 8.5 at 1% Li(2) O from 2m RES06 (EOH)
* 16m at 1.35% Li(2) O from surface in GRA05 * 14m at 1.04% Li(2) O from surface in RES07
* 17m at 1% Li(2) O from 7m GRA15 * 32m at 1.16% Li(2) O from 20m in RES019
* 8m at 1.43% Li(2) O from 32m in GRA028 * 11m at 1.1% Li(2) O from 43m in RES023
* 22m at 1.1% Li(2) O from 3m in NOA01 (EOH) * 12m at 1.6% Li(2) O from 1m in RES030
* 15m at 1% Li(2) O from 7m in NOA13 * 12m at 1.22% Li(2) O from 16m in SAC01 (EOH)
* 10m at 1.5% Li(2) O from 2m in RES01 (EOH) * 13m at 1.24% Li(2) O from surface in SP2(EOH)
Note: Intercepts calculated using a 0.7% Li(2) O cut-off with no
more than 1m of internal dilution and a minimum mineralised width
of 7m and an average grade of over 1% Li(2) O.
Preliminary Metallurgy
Initial preliminary metallurgical test work has been completed
by past explorers which indicates that a clean, high quality
spodumene product (over 6% Li(2) O) can be produced from the
mineralised rock. The mineralisation at Mina do Barroso compares
very favourably to the mineralisation at the Pilgangoora deposits
of both Altura and Pilbara Minerals in Australia, and a simple
comparison is provided below.
-- Altura, Pilgangoora: Resource Grade 1.15% Li(2) O, 1.7% Fe(2)
O(3) ; concentrate grade >6% Li(2) O
-- Pilbara Minerals, Pilgangoora: Resource Grade 1.29%Li(2) O,
1.19% Fe(2) O(3) ; concentrate grade >6% Li(2) O
-- Mina do Barroso: Mineralisation Grade approximately 1.1%
Li(2) O, 0.5%Fe(2) O(3) ; concentrate grade >6%Li(2) O
Approved 30 Year Mining Licence, Mine Plan and Environmental
Impact Assessment
One of the significant advantages of the Mina do Barroso project
is the approved Environmental Impact Assessment and Mine Plan to
remove approximately 7Mt of lithium, quartz and feldspar from seven
pegmatites within the approved mining licence. The term of the
current licence is 30 years: commencing in 2006 and expiring in
2036.
The approvals would need to be modified for the extraction of
additional material and to build a plant specific to lithium
processing, with this process expected to take in the order of 6-8
months as the changes are an amendment to the existing
approvals.
Reigoso Prospect
Field reconnaissance at the Reigoso Prospect highlighted an area
of at least, 3 x 1.5km with many outcrops of large pegmatites rich
in coarse spodumene. The larger pegmatites seem to be
sub-horizontal "sills", indicating that they may have large volumes
of pegmatite near surface following the down dip extension of the
bodies. The main body seems to be quite extensive with at least one
of the bodies with the potential to be at over 50m width and 500m
in strike at surface with many other smaller pegmatite bodies.
Detailed mapping and sampling of the area is now required to
determine the potential of the area.
Figure 9. Reigoso main outcropping pegmatite - see PDF link
Figure 10. Reigoso Prospect, massive spodumene crystals up to 1m
in size - see PDF link
(iii) Serra d'Arga Project
Savannah has pegged three tenements in the Serra d'Arga area
including Calvelo, Ponte de Lima and Caminha. The Serra d'Arga
project area covers a swarm of sills associated with the evolution
of the diapiric Serra d'Arga granite. The sills exhibit complex
associations of lithium minerals.
The spodumene-bearing bodies of aplite and pegmatite can occur
intra-granitic, but are mainly found beyond the pluton. In the
coastal area north of Viana do Castelo, the bodies of
aplite-pegmatite are enclosed in well-exposed metasedimentary host
rocks where spodumene may account for up to 20% of the volume of
the bodies, and crystals may attain 30cm in length (Gomes &
Nunes 1990, Gomes 1992).
The modal proportion of petalite attains 15% in some bodies in
the Formigoso area. Some bodies of homogeneous aplite and pegmatite
approach 8,000ppm lithium, contain disseminated spodumene-petalite,
and lepidolite-bearing pegmatites in the same field may exceed
12,000ppm lithium.
From this exploration, a large pegmatite (>80m) can be seen
and the surface indications for W and E indicate that it has, at
least, >400m length (see Figures 11 and 12). These bodies seem
to be sub-horizontal, so they may have more volume of pegmatite
near the surface, following the dip. The presence of feldspar is
actually very rare and the percentage of spodumene in this body
seems to be around 30 - 40%.

(iv) Barca d'Alva Project
The Almendra-Souto (AS) region is a high priority for lithium
resources. Surrounded by highly evolved granitoids, it is a region
with metalogenic potential, known by its Sn, W and lithium
mineralisation. The region is well known for the presence of
pegmatite-aplite veins with the lithium minerals lepidolite,
spodumene and petalite (Gaspar 1997; Charoy & Noronha 1999).
Savannah has pegged two tenements in the region, Meda and Almendra,
covering a number of known swarms.
The Meda project surrounds a small mining lease that covers one
of the larger veins of this pegmatite-aplite field (an open pit for
the ceramic industry known as Bajoca mine). This vein has an
extension of 700m, with variable thickness between a few metres to
more than 30m. There are many other lithium occurrences in the area
but to date they have been largely explored for ceramic mate rial
with little exploration directed toward the supply of lithium
carbonate for the battery industry.
(v) Tâmega Project
The area contains numerous pegmatite-aplite veins and
rare-element-rich granites. Lithium minerals are dominated by
layered petalite, spodumene and montebraisite, hosted in
NW-trending aplite-pegmatites that surround a leucogranite.
Reserves of lithium as spodumene were mined from the Vieiros tin
mines 10km to the NW. Slipstream has pegged the Caramos
tenement.
Portuguese Operating Partner
Savannah has formed a strong working and business relationship
in Portugal with Mineralia Minas, Geotecnia e Construcoes, Lda.
('Mineralia'). Mineralia is a geological and engineering firm that
has commissioned over 11 quarries and mines in Portugal and has
been involved in the local mining industry for over 50 years.
Current Valuation
The Projects are not currently capitalised in the financial
accounts of the Vendors but costs incurred in relation to previous
exploration programmes have been expensed both by the Vendors and
by the previous owners of the Projects.
The Company commissioned an independent valuation report
utilising the Kilburn Geosciences Rating Method indicating that the
value of the Covas do Barroso tenements is between USD851,000 -
USD2,240,000 in their current state. In addition, the Company
understands that historical expenditure by the prior owner of the
Projects prior to Slipstream's ownership (mapping, assaying, drill
testing, metallurgical testwork, market studies, and activities
associated in applying for and being granted mining licenses and
associated environmental and technical studies) was significantly
in excess of Slipstream's costs.
2) KEY COMMERCIAL TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION
Savannah has acquired the Portuguese assets through the purchase
of an effective 75% shareholding in Slipstream Resources Unipessoal
Lda (the registered holder of the Mina do Barroso Mining Licence
and the registered applicant for the above mentioned nine pending
exploration licence applications).
Savannah acquired its equity interest in Slipstream Resources
Unipessoal Lda through a transaction with a consortium of vendors
led by Slipstream Resources Investments Pty Ltd ('Vendors').
Savannah and the Vendors will form a joint-venture in relation
to both the Mina do Barroso Mining Licence and the remaining
exploration licence applications, with Savannah taking 75%
controlling equity interest in Slipstream Resources Unipessoal Lda.
Savannah shall fund the operations of the joint venture up until a
decision to mine is made, after which funding of the joint venture
shall be shared pro-rata to respective equity interests.
Consideration
The initial consideration for the Transaction is a mixture of
cash and the issue of Ordinary Shares to the Vendors, being AUD
$1.0m purchase price and the issue of 20,000,000 Ordinary Shares at
the current market price at the time of issue. These 20,000,000
Ordinary Shares (to be held in escrow for six months from the date
of issue) will be issued to the Vendors shortly and a further
announcement will be made at that time.
Deferred consideration of AUD$1.5m cash and a further 20,000,000
Ordinary Shares of the Company (to be subject to orderly market
provisions for six months) has also been agreed to be paid to the
Vendors upon the announcement by Savannah of a JORC-compliant
Indicated Mineral Resource of 7.5 million tonnes at no less than 1%
Li(2) O ('Milestone 1').
In addition, upon the announcement by Savannah of a further
JORC-compliant Indicated Mineral Resource of a minimum of 7.5m
tonnes at no less than 1% lithium; final consideration of AUD$1.5m
cash and an additional 20,000,000 Ordinary Shares (to be subject to
orderly market provisions for six months) be paid to the Vendors
('Milestone 2') (together with Milestone 1, 'the Milestones').
Assuming the Milestones are achieved, the total consideration
for the Transaction could equate to an aggregate value of AUD$10.1m
(GBP5.8m) based on the deferred consideration being calculated
using the Company's closing share price on 24 May 2017. The
consideration is heavily geared towards the Vendors' receipt of
Ordinary Shares in Savannah, which will align the respective
parties Joint Venture interests and therefore further improve
business cooperation in respect of the Projects.
A majority of the consideration paid pursuant to the terms of
the Transaction is subject to the successful development of the
Project(s) as a result of the Milestones (outlined above), thus
minimising initial cost of the Transaction and linking future
consideration to a successful Joint Venture and the increase in
value in the Project(s).
Mr Dale Ferguson
Mr Dale Ferguson, the Company's Technical Director, is also a
Director of and minority shareholder in Slipstream Resources
Investments Pty Ltd (one of the Vendors).
As such, Dale Ferguson has been excluded from any of Savannah's
commercial negotiations with the Vendors and is precluded from
voting on any matters relating to the sale and purchase agreement
between Savannah and the Vendors.
Furthermore, as part of the technical due diligence process,
Savannah engaged Wardell Armstrong International to prepare a
technical report on the Projects.
3) DEMAND FOR LITHIUM
The Directors believe there is a revolution underway in how we
generate and use energy. As such, the demand for materials such as
lithium, which is a key component in new energy storage solutions,
is rising at record rates.
Respected US group, Morningstar Institutional Equity Research,
made the following comments in November 2016: "Accelerating
electric vehicle adoption will drive global lithium demand far
beyond consensus expectations, affording attractive investment
opportunities for long-term investors. We expect EV penetration to
surge from less than 1% of global auto sales in 2015 to 10% in
2025, well ahead of the market view for only 4%-6% penetration by
2025. We forecast 16% annual lithium demand growth over the next
decade, faster than we've witnessed for almost any major commodity
over the past century."
Figure 14. Projected increasing lithium demand, Morningstar
Institutional research Nov 2016 - see PDF link
Highlight Issued of the European Lithium Market:
-- apart from small Iberian production for local ceramics/glass
use, the EU has no internal lithium supply;
-- the EU is a major importer of lithium consuming 24% of global
market (second only to China); and
-- lithium processing sites from imported material in several EU countries.
Most of the large car manufacturers are launching models that
integrate lithium ion battery technology whilst Tesla, Inc. is
aiming to bring electric vehicles to the mass market by lowering
costs and entering into battery manufacture with their 'Gigfactory'
in Nevada which will initially produce 500,000 units per annum.
It will invariably take time for leading car manufacturers and
society to adopt electric vehicles to a point which will impact the
lithium market. However, there is growing concern by governments to
take action to reduce global warming and pollution of cities by use
of fossil fuels and the adoption of electric vehicles can play a
significant role. The market for lithium ion batteries has grown
markedly following the adoption by consumer technologies - and car
batteries require substantially more lithium to power electric
vehicles.
Increased use of lithium ion batteries for heavy duty power
storage particularly linked to sources of renewable energy off-grid
was also projected by Roskill. The increasing use of
lithium-aluminium alloys in aircraft manufacture to lighten weight
and improve fuel efficiency has good growth potential.
In global terms, China is the largest consumer of lithium -
providing approximately 35% of the market's consumption, with
Europe as the second largest consumer (24% consumption), and
thereby followed by Japan and South Korea.

Notes
Savannah Resources Plc (AIM: SAV) is a growth oriented,
multi-commodity, mineral development company.
Mozambique
Savannah operates the Mutamba heavy mineral sands project in
Mozambique in collaboration with Rio Tinto, and can earn a 51%
interest in the related Consortium, which has an established
initial Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 3.5
billion tonnes at 3.8% THM over the Jangamo and Dongane deposits.
Under the terms of the Consortium Agreement with Rio Tinto, upon
delivery by Savannah of the following Savannah will earn the
corresponding interest in the Mutamba Project: scoping study - 20%;
pre-feasibility study - 35%; feasibility study - 51%. Additionally,
the Consortium Agreement includes an offtake agreement on
commercial terms for the sale of 100% of production to Rio Tinto
(or an affiliate).
Oman
Savannah has interests in two copper blocks in the highly
prospective Semail Ophiolite Belt in Oman. The projects, which have
an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.7Mt @ 2.2% copper
and high-grade intercepts of up to 56.35m at 6.21% Cu, with gold
credits, provide Savannah with an excellent opportunity to
potentially evolve into a mid-tier copper and gold producer in a
relatively short time frame. Together with its Omani partners,
Savannah aims to outline further mineral resources to provide the
critical mass for a central operating plant to develop the deposits
and in December 2015 outlined exploration targets of between
10,700,000 and 29,250,000 tonnes grading between 1.4% and 2.4%
copper.
Portugal
Savannah holds a 75% interest one mining licence and nine
prospective applications for the exploration and development of
lithium, covering an area in excess of 1,018km(2) in northern
Portugal. This includes the highly strategic Mina do Barroso
prospect, which with an approved Mining Plan ('MP'), Environmental
Impact Assessment ('EIA') and a 30-year mining concession/Mining
Licence ('ML'), means that with a defined JORC resource a
development decision could be made as early as Q4 2018.
Finland
Savannah has Reservation Permits over two new lithium projects,
Somero and Erajarvi, covering an area of 159km(2) in Finland.
Savannah holds a 100% interest in these projects through its
Finnish subsidiary Finkallio Oy. Geological mapping by the Finnish
Government within the project areas has highlighted the presence of
lithium minerals spodumene, lepidolite and petalite with the
Government also identifying Somero and Erajarvi as one of the most
prospective areas to discover lithium deposits in Finland. Savannah
plans to initiate an exploration programme including data
compilation, geological mapping and surface sampling with the aim
of generating drill ready targets during 2016.
