ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Growth and Upside from Imminent Lithium and Gold Exploration – New Investor Presentation

Liontown Resources Limited (ASX: LTR) is pleased to attach a copy of its latest investor presentation “Growth and Upside from Imminent Lithium and Gold Exploration”. The presentation focuses on the Company’s unfolding exploration plans at the rapidly emerging Bynoe Lithium Project, located ~40km south of Darwin in the Northern Territory, and the newly acquired Kathleen Valley Lithium Project in Western Australia. Key highlights of the presentation include:  The Company’s plans to commence follow-up drilling in September at the Bynoe Project, where initial drilling intersected thick spodumene-mineralised zones;  An update on initial exploration activities at the Kathleen Valley Lithium Project, where validation of historic high grade lithium and tantalum values has been undertaken; and  An overview of the Company’s Jubilee Reef gold project in Tanzania, East Africa, where a review of the existing gold mineral resource is underway in conjunction with new exploration targets.

Why Lithium?

  • Supply shortfall due to lithium batteries
  • Already seen in actual price performance with high prices forecast to continue
  • An increasingly critical metal

“Amid a surge in demand for rechargeable batteries, companies are scrambling for supplies of lithium” (The Economist, 14 January 2016)
