New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 22% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$661k revenue, or US$471k). Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$12.4m market cap, or US$8.82m). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change).

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: AU$13.6m (US$9.70m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected.

Morella Corporation Limited Announces Results from Geophysical Exploration Activities Completed in December 2022 in the Southern Part of the Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA Morella Corporation Limited announced the results from geophysical exploration activities completed in December 2022 in the southern part of the Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA. Morella commissioned a further Passive Seismic and Magnetotelluric ("MT") Survey of the Project ("December MT Survey") along an additional 2 east-west transects and 1 north-south transect in the south of the Project, in order to identify sub-surface conductivity anomalies that could be caused by brine accumulations with potential to host Lithium mineralisation. Analysis and interpretation has been completed which identified prospective drilling targets with the goal to progress to a Mineral Resource. The December MT Survey was commissioned following the geophysical exploration ("March MT Survey"), detailed in the ASX Announcement - Key Drilling Targets identified at the Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project, released on 28th April 2022. The MT survey work was undertaken by US-based Zonge International Inc. (Zonge). Perth-based geophysical consultants, Resource Potentials, completed QA/QC and inversion modelling of the MT survey data. Interpretation and final reporting are ongoing. The modelled MT resistivity cross sections from the December MT Survey reinforce and expanded upon modelling results from the March MT Survey. In particular, a very high conductivity anomaly is present in the southern most MT survey line resistivity model cross section and is centred approximately 1,000 m depth below surface. This anomaly is likely a continuation of an anomaly identified during the March MT Survey, which is interpreted to be fault bounded, and may be caused by Lithium-brine, saline groundwater and clay- ash deposits. A strong MT conductivity anomaly appears to continue to the west outside of the area covered by the MT survey lines. The overall basin structure appears to be deeper within the central- to-eastern part of the MT survey area before shallowing on the easternmost side. The northernmost E-W oriented survey line appears to show a conductivity west-dipping layer at depth. The December MT Survey has expanded on work previously completed within the Project. The 2D resistivity inversion model cross sections generated from these MT surveys indicate that the high- conductivity anomaly identified during the March MT Survey, which may be caused by brine hosting Lithium in solution, appears to be closed-off to the south and east, but potentially open to the north and west. Drillhole targets originally defined from the March MT Survey have been expanded to facilitate development of a potential Mineral Resource. The next steps are: Award a drilling contract with the drill program aimed at providing brine samples from depth. Enter final stages of permitting, being conducted by US-based McGinley and Associates Inc. on behalf of the Company. Consider 2D reflection seismic to further calibrate the Passive Seismic and MT results and help identify key basin structures and layers to assist drill targeting, hydrogeological modelling and potential resource definition.

Morella Corporation Limited Announces Lithium Mineralisation Confirmed at North Big Smoky Morella Corporation Limited advised that the soil sampling program completed at North Big Smoky Lithium Project (NBS) in September 2022 has identified a large zone of elevated lithium grades across the central part of the project area. The project is located 135 kilometres from Tonopah, and is accessible via Highway 376 in Nevada, USA and comprises 178 placer claims. Morella entered into an earn-in agreement with Lithium Corporation in 2022, whereby Morella has the right to earn a 60% interest in the project, with options to acquire 100% interest. In September 2022, a 259-auger-hole drilling program was executed with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the distribution of lithium in the soils across the NBS deposit. Holes (up to 1.37m total length) were completed. Mineralogical and geochemical samples were sent for assaying to ALS USA Inc. in Twin Falls, Idaho, a certified laboratory. Results in the central part of the NBS deposit show elevated lithium assays up to 499 ppm with over 40% of the assays with grades of 200 ppm lithium or more. Nearly 90% of the deposit shows lithium grades greater than 100 ppm. The area to the east of the sampled area was not sampled as it has thick alluvial cover which sits over the playa and is not suitable for soil sampling. PSS horizontal-to-vertical-spectral ratio (HVSR) in order to generate a map of depth to acoustic bedrock, which can be used to assist identification of structures within the project area and tie-in conductive anomaly features with estimated bedrock depths.

Morella Corporation Limited Announces North Big Smoky CSAMT Survey Morella Corporation Limited announced the results of the recently completed geophysical survey work and modelling at its North Big Smoky (NBS) project in Nevada. The survey has identified a high conductivity zone in the project area that is now subject to further investigation. Morella commissioned KLM Geophysics Inc. (KLM) to complete a CSAMT survey within the NBS project area, which is located approximately 50 km south of Austin in Nye County, Nevada. KLM completed the survey over 5 days along a single 2.5 km long survey line planned by Morella within the North Big Smokey claims. Resource Potentials Pty Ltd. (ResPot) then processed and interpreted the CSAMT data. CSAMT data was acquired using a Phoenix RXU-8A 5-channel EM receiver system with non-polarisable electrodes located every 50 m along the survey line to create 50 m long electric field dipoles (Ex), and Phoenix MTC-180 magnetic field sensors located at 250 m intervals along the survey line and oriented orthogonal to the direction of the survey line (Hy). A grounded transmitter bipole was established in a broadside configuration (i.e. parallel to the survey line orientation) approximately 9.8 km SSE of the CSAMT survey line. The grounded bipole was energised using a Phoenix TXU-30A transmitter/controller system with a 30-kW trailer-mounted motor generator, and with a sinusoidal transmitter waveform covering 54 transmitter frequencies geometrically increasing from 1 Hz to 10,000 Hz. Both ResPot and KLM 2D resistivity models of the CSAMT data indicated a deep and high conductivity anomaly starting from approximately 700 m below the eastern part of the CSAMT survey line, which may be caused by brines at depth or conductive lithology. Areas of high conductivity are shown as hotter colours (orange to purple) and areas of lower conductivity (greater resistivity) are shown as cooler colours (white to blue). Black arrows indicate changes in surface soils observed in satellite imagery.

Morella Corporation Limited Provides Drilling Update on the Mallina Lithium Project Morella Corporation Limited provided a drilling update on the Mallina Lithium Project (tenement E47/2983). Mallina is located 110 kilometres southwest of Port Hedland and is accessible via the Northwest Coastal Highway in Western Australia. In 2021, Morella executed an earn-in agreement with ASX-listed Sayona Mining Limited, for the right to earn a 51% interest in the lithium rights of Sayona's Pilbara and Gascoyne lithium portfolio. Historical Drilling: Between 2017 and 2018, Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was completed by Sayona, with 48 holes drilled for 3,568m, delivering 653 RC drill chip samples for analysis. The drill program targeted five discrete identified pegmatite zones. 2022 Drilling Program Results: During 2022 a 5-hole, 1,261m drill program including 2 core tail extensions was completed by Morella, with the objective of targeting theorised tertiary covered pegmatite-ore sheets. Thicker and more consistent pegmatite intrusions do not outcrop at Mallina, however based on mapped surface expressions and drilling interpretation, the Company believes that thicker intersections of pegmatite intrusions can be found at depth. Three (3) RC holes (430m total length) and four diamond core holes (831.4m total length), including two core tail extensions were completed in the 2022 program. Five (5) drill sites were established for the program, including three (3) RC drill sites (with two diamond core tails) and two diamond core sites from surface. Importantly, the standout result from hole M22_004_D (which was drilled down dip) confirms the previous successful work completed by Sayona, intercepting 16.4m @ 1.24% Li2O from 4.6m and 1.0m @ 1.18% Li2O from 46m, with the next round of drilling to test strike and depth extensions of this zone. Morella was awarded a co-funded grant for the drill program recently completed at Mallina. The Company is entitled to claim up to a maximum amount of $150,000 against the direct drilling costs for the completed drilling program. The Co-funded Exploration Drilling Program is the program of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS). The Company will provide half-core samples to DMIRS as part of the project and will allow public access to drill core material after the expiry of the Confidentiality Period. Future Exploration Program: A detailed surface grid soil sampling accompanied by geological mapping and rock chips to follow-up highly anomalous Lithium and Rubidium from soil and rock chip geochemistry; Review and refine existing aeromagnetic and radiometric data to support surface geochemical anomalies; Additional RC and diamond drilling to test thicker intercepts of spodumene-bearing pegmatites to test thickness, direction and dip of the pegmatites.

Morella Corporation Limited Announces the Results of the Deep Ground Penetrating Radar Program At Mt Edon Morella Corporation Limited announced the results of the Deep Ground Penetrating Radar (DGPR) work at the Mt Edon (E59/2092) and Mt Edon West (E59/2055) exploration tenements near Paynes Find located in the Mid West region of Western Australia. The survey, conducted by Ultramag Geophysics Pty Ltd. (Ultramag), was carried out in October and included 23-line km covering four (4) areas of known pegmatites. Results have demonstrated that the DGPR was not only able to identify the known pegmatites but also pinpointed a significant number of additional pegmatites not previously mapped. The focus of the DGPR work was aimed at identification of any sub-surface pegmatites and their relationship to those that had been previously mapped at surface. Ultramag spent six (6) days traversing the four (4) pegmatite zones identified from surface mapping. The base of weathering or unconsolidated alluvium is a pronounced layer and occurs around 20m depth on most profiles. The shape of this interface is useful in determining rock type in this hard rock environment. Existing surface mapping completed by Blackfynn Pty Ltd. identified 53 outcropping pegmatites, some of which can be seen in the image below, however the DGPR work has identified a further 130 pegmatites, with most not expressing at surface. The DPGR work has identified four (4) main target areas for further exploration as shown in Figure 5 below. These targets are based on the density of pegmatite occurrences from the DGPR survey and the previously completed mapping work.

Morella Corporation Limited Announces Direct Lithium Extraction Study Confirms Highly Efficient Lithium Concentrating Process Morella Corporation Limited provided an update on the Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) study being completed by Recion Technologies ("Recion") at Recion's laboratory in Edmonton, Canada. The study is aimed at providing a preliminary assessment of lithium extraction and underlying economics using Recion's technology solution and Fish Lake Valley (FLV) brine. An interim progress report from Recion has provided positive early-stage indications of successful lithium concentration using Recion's ion exchange media (Media) process and FLV brine. The brine sample was obtained from near surface of the playa at FLV and was expected to be highly diluted from surface water, however the testing process focussed on lithium extraction from the brine type or signature of the brine. As part of the next phase of DLE testing Morella will provide brine samples from reservoirs identified in the Passive Seismic and MT surveys completed earlier in 2022. The report has identified that two hours of absorption is sufficient to extract lithium from the brine with extraction efficiency up to 95% using an absorption column configuration. Absorption column configuration has been used in water treatment operations and is known to be scalable using standard/commercially available equipment. Extended testing saw high lithium recoveries, resulting in lithium concentration levels over 600%. Morella provided a 20 litre brine sample to Recion in June 2022, initial testing was conducted at benchtop scale, focusing on understanding how Recion's Media process performed with the FLV brine. To test the lithium extraction rate, a prescribed amount of Media was packed into a column, a prescribed amount of brine then flowed through the column at a prescribed flowrate. Lithium was then desorbed from the column by using acid1 at a prescribed flow rate. Concentrate samples were taken every 30 minutes and analysed for lithium concentration. Recion has identified two hours as the optimal cycle time and ran a set of extended series repeat tests varying Media quantity, flow rates and total brine volume flowing through the column. The results continue to build a body of knowledge on processing options for larger scale testing. Recion also conducted a series of tests to assess the performance of the Media process for extended cycles of lithium absorption and desorption. Observations identified that the Media process performed consistently achieving 80-95% lithium extraction over more than 2 months of operation. Recion also tested Media which had been used for more than 8 months and achieved a high lithium extraction rate. The performance of the process over repeat cycles is a key area of interest to support developing an economic model around the use of DLE technology to underpin the FLV Project. Media performance testing is ongoing. The Recion testwork on the FLV brine has determined the following conclusions: 2 hours was sufficient timeframe to extract lithium from the provided brine sample with an extraction efficiency up to 95% using an absorption column configuration; Processing of the brine in the column results in a high lithium recovery and lithium can be concentrated by a factor of 7-9 up to ~400-500 ppm depending on recovery; Desorption can be completed in 1-2 hours; however, 2 hours is recommended to ensure full recovery of lithium from the sorbent; The absorption column configuration is a well-known modular configuration which has been used in water treatment for decades and can be scaled up using standard equipment; and Preliminary economics have been determined and will be refined following the provision of more representative deeper reservoir samples from the upcoming drill program. The DLE study will continue with Morella recently providing additional brine material to Recion. A primary objective of the next phase of testing is to generate enough concentrated lithium in solution to allow for continued processing at benchtop scale and production of lithium chemicals from the FLV brine. Morella is currently in the final stages of permitting and a drill contract has been awarded for a drill program aimed at providing brine samples from depth at the FLV project. The Company expects that drilling will commence in the latter part of fourth quarter 2022 once all regulatory approvals have been received. Morella has also commenced initial discussions on using Recion's recently built field prototype and potential field pilot and will advise the market in due course. Annuncio • Oct 26

Morella Corporation Limited Announces Completion of First On-Ground Works At the North Big Smoky Lithium Project Morella Corporation Limited announced that it has completed its first on-ground works at the North Big Smoky Lithium Project, with the conclusion of a detailed soils program. Having recently secured the North Big Smoky Project through an earn-in arrangement. Morella planned and executed the program to build its knowledge base on the Project. The soils program was completed over the period 16 - 18 September 2022, with all samples now enroute to an independent laboratory for analysis. Program Structure: The soils program was designed to focus on the western half of the project area due to what is assessed as a control structure dissecting the contiguous claims area in a north south direction. The program sourced 272 samples via use of a powered auger, to allow sampling at a depth of up to 1.37m below surface. In some instances, caliche/calcrete was intercepted by the auger, and in such events, the field crew utilised small hand tools to ensure adequate sample depth was achieved. All sampling and sample preparation was supervised by a Certified Professional Geologist. Future works: All samples have been prepared and are on route to an independent laboratory in the United Stateswith assay results expected to be provided in one to two months and will be released to the market in due course. Morella has also scheduled an initial magentotelluric ("MT") survey at North Big Smoky, which is intended to identify sub-surface areas of mineral concentration. The combination of MT survey and soils program will shape and guide future exploration efforts at North Big Smoky. The MT Survey is programed for completion in Fourth Quarter 2022 and based on the same principles utilized successfully at the Company's Fish Lake Valley project located south of North Big Smoky.

Morella Corporation Limited Announces Airborne Geophysics Exploration Underway in the Pilbara Morella Corporation Limited announced that exploration activities in the Pilbara are underway. Following a detailed and systematic review of historical physical and geophysics exploration results and open-source geological data, the company has commenced airborne geophysical exploration targeting settings conducive to, and with regional precedence of, lithium mineralisation. All activities, which have been deemed as low-level exploration, have been planned in consultation with respective Traditional Owners and Pastoralists. A broad Pilbara-wide airborne geophysics survey commenced on 10 September 2022. The survey will capture high-resolution data to build on the historical data available to Morella. The survey covers several tenements included in the Morella-Sayona earn-in agreement, where Morella is well advanced towards achieving the earn-in obligation milestone. The intended airborne survey lines across select Of particular focus will be the Tabba Tabba East (E45/4703) tenement. This tenement is located approximately 25 kilometers north of Pilgangoora, one of the largest hard rock lithium deposits in the world. Assessment of open-source regional geology and geophysical information suggests that it is within a Mesoarchean magmatic-metallogenic province of Northern Australia which is prospective for lithium-tantalum, gold and copper. The tenement overlies fertile Monzogranitic rocks which have been transected by the NE-SW-trending Wodgina Fault. To date the tenement has been relatively underexplored and may host lithium-bearing pegmatite intrusions. The company has identified several target areas at Tabba Tabba East that warrant more detailed field-based exploration activities. Immediate efforts will focus on airborne geophysical survey, reconnaissance mapping and sampling at areas identified in preparation for a more systematic grid soil sampling and geological mapping program.

Morella Corporation Limited Advises Further Results from Geophysical Exploration Activities Completed At the Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA Morella Corporation Limited advises further results from geophysical exploration activities completed at the Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA. From July to August 2022, Morella completed a second phase of magnetotelluric ("MT") surveying over the northern part of the Project area. A composite cross section (looking north east) of the four MT survey lines completed to date. The MT survey was designed to be complementary to a previous MT survey conducted in the southern portion of the Project area in December 2021 to April 2022. MT survey data was acquired by US-based Zonge International Inc. ("Zonge") during July 2022 using the `Zen' EMAP system, with 2D resistivity inversion modelling of the MT survey data using CGG Geotools, completed by Perth-based Resource Potentials in August 2022. 2D resistivity inversion modelling of the MT survey data produced a distinct, very high conductivity (<2 Ohmm) anomaly in the west, within a broader high conductivity (<4 Ohmm) anomaly zone, which may be caused by lithium bearing brines at 300m depth and near a vertical fault (it is also possible the high conductivities are in part, associated with increased clay content). The MT inversion modelling results also show a shallow, very high conductivity (<1 Ohmm) layer is present from surface and extending to approximately 30m depth below surface, which may be caused be a shallow layer of lithium sediments with very saline groundwater at or just beneath the ground surface.

Morella Corporation Limited Announces Lithium Targets Identified At Mt Edon Project in Western Australia Morella Corporation Limited announced the results from a successful surface mapping and sampling program completed at Mt Edon (E59/2092) and Mt Edon West (E59/2055) near Paynes Find, in the mid-west of Western Australia. A total of 53 pegmatite outcrops were mapped over a five-day period in the field. Some pegmatites were sampled, and the rock chip assay results indicate the potential of this area for future lithium exploration. The focus of the field program was to map and sample pegmatite outcrops within the Project area. A total of 53 pegmatite outcrops were mapped ranging from approximately one to 40 metres in apparent thickness at outcrop. It was observed that a pegmatite covering a larger surface area appeared to be a sill, as compared to the remainder of the mapped pegmatites which were interpreted as being dykes. The mapped pegmatites were observed as having a deeply weathered, friable surface. Generally, the rock was seen to be a heterogenous mixture of weathered feldspar crystals up to 45cm in length, quartz crystals up to 60cm in length and mica "books" up to 15cm in width. Mica was observed in veins ranging from 5-60cm in width. Although weathered, some of the pegmatites indicated potential lithium mineralisation. Most of the pegmatites are dykes that crosscut the mafic volcanics in a north-northwest direction. An additional pegmatite outcrop interpreted to be a sill was found in the central section of the E59/2092 tenement in a sub-parallel orientation to the surrounding weakly foliated mafic country rock. Figure 1 shows the key pegmatites mapped during the field program and target areas identified from analysing the pegmatites mapped during the March 2022 field work program. Morella notes that a his early stage, target areas have been developed based on a multi-element analysis rather than just ithium content. A total of 32 samples were taken across the mapped pegmatites. Each sample consists of rock chips taken across each outcrop to account for zonation and to provide a representative sample. Figure 2 shows sample locations on a background of mapped lithology. Samples were sent to an independent, accredited laboratory for full elemental assay. Samples were assayed for a standard multi-element lithium suite including rare earth elements using the process of a 4-acid digest followed by ICP-MS for detection. The sample results listed in Table 1 were collected from weathered outcrops and are interpreted toindicate potential subsurface lithium mineralisation. The interpreted results from the field program suggest that there are several prospective targets for lithium-bearing pegmatites within the Project area. Several of the pegmatites were mapped as being narrow and discontinuous, but some were mapped as having a substantial apparent thickness and continuity that may evolve into a commercially viable mining opportunity, subject to adequate mineral endowment. The mapped and sampled pegmatites displayed significant weathering which may explain the depleted surface lithium grades. Morella is reviewing geophysical techniques to support developing a better understanding of the subsurface potential of the Project area to quantify potential drilling targets. It is noted that future drilling below the weathered zone would assist in the determination of the subsurface lithium-bearing potential of the Project area. Annuncio • Jun 14
Morella Corporation Limited Announces Direct Lithium Extraction Test Work Begins Morella Corporation Limited announce that direct lithium extraction ("DLE") process development work has commenced on brine material from the Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project, located in Nevada, USA. The DLE study ("Study") is being completed by Recion Technologies ("Recion") at Recion's laboratory in Edmonton, Canada. The Study is aimed at providing a preliminary economic assessment of lithium extraction using Recion's technology solution and Fish Lake Valley brine. The Study will be completed at benchtop scale and is expected to be completed in 10-12 weeks. To fully assess the amenability of Fish Lake Valley brine, Recion has presented a staged approach to development of the technologies to be used to successfully extract, concentrate and ultimately produce a lithium chemical product. The first stage (benchtop scale) has commenced and is expected to take 10-12 weeks to complete. Following completion of this stage of the Study, Recion will report on operating economic factors based on feed grade of the brine sample. The economic factors will include reagent consumption, sorbent costs, recovery rates, power consumption, water consumption and tailings composition. The Study commenced this week with sieving and filtering brine material in preparation for process testwork. 5 micron filter was used first, followed by a 1 micron filter. Recion will analyse all captured deleterious elements as part of the Study to understand tailings composition and shape future management plans. Annuncio • Jun 06
Morella Corporation Limited Completes Exploration Drilling at the Mallina Lithium Project Morella Corporation Limited announced that it has completed exploration drilling at the Mallina Lithium Project (tenement E47/2983). The drilling program commenced in late March 2022, with the clearing of drill pads and establishment of a field camp. The reverse circulation (RC) drill contractor mobilised to the Mallina Project in the second week of April, after completing site and safety management protocols and inductions with RC drilling commencing on 18 April 2022. Subsequently, the Diamond Core drill contractor arrived at the Project, completed relevant safety and site management protocols, and commenced core drilling on 22 April 2022. The planned program was designed with the dual objectives of intersecting hybrid dykes at Pegmatite 2 and Area C prospects at depth and testing for blind primary pegmatite sheets at depth. RC drilling concluded on 26 April 2022 and the core drilling concluded on 27 May 2022. All drilling was completed safely and without incident. Three RC holes (430m) and four diamond core holes (831.4 m), including two core tail extensions were completed. Five drill sites were used for this program, including three RC drill sites (with two diamond core tails) and two diamond core sites from surface. Fine grained spodumene quartz intergrowths within aplite intrusive intervals were observed in the drill core. The RC chips and drill core were logged on site by a geological team and samples have been prepared for mineralogical studies and geochemical assay work to be completed at an independent laboratory in Perth. All RC chips and core samples are currently being consolidated at Port Hedland ready for transportation to Perth. Mineralised intervals will be reported as and when the results are made available to the Company. Future Works: While the Company commences the logistics efforts to transfer RC chips and core samples from Mallina to Perth in readiness for mineralogy and assay testing (the results of which are expected to take two- three months from commencement of work in Perth), the Mallina Lithium Project will be subject to further exploration efforts as part of Morella's program of work for selected tenements within the Sayona earn-in portfolio. Airborne geophysics is being scheduled as well as ground-based methods. A successful geophysics campaign will be followed by further field work to identify and develop the next round of drilling targets at Mallina and other prospective tenements. The priority for Mallina specific geophysics will be the areas subject to historical drilling, areas of know lithium mineralisation. The results from this March-May 2022 campaign may determine the exploration pathway. Co-funded Drilling: As previously advised Morella was awarded a co-funded grant for drill program completed at Mallina. The Company is entitled to claim up to a maximum amount of $150,000 against the direct drilling costs for the completed drilling program. The Co-funded Exploration Drilling Program is the program of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).

Morella Corporation Limited Provides an Update on Exploration Activities Being Undertaken At Both the Mallina Lithium Project and Mt Edon Lithium Project Morella Corporation Limited provided an update on exploration activities being undertaken at both the Mallina Lithium Project (E47/2983) and Mt Edon Lithium Project (E59/2092 /E59/2055). Following the establishment of a field camp in late March, the reverse circulation (RC) drill contractor mobilised to the Mallina Project in the second week of April. After completing site and safety management protocols and inductions, drilling work commenced on 18 April 2022. The RC program consists of three collars, each of approximately 150m, in preparation for diamond core tails to 470m. The RC program is expected to be completed within the next week. On 20 April 2022, a second drilling contractor arrived at the Mallina Project and commenced working through site safety management protocols and inductions in preparation for the commencement of diamond core drilling. The core program consists of 1,020m of drilling, will commence 22 April 2022 and is expected to be completed in four to five weeks. As advised in ASX Announcement Heritage and approvals progress sets Mallina Lithium Project ready for drilling released 14 March 2022, Morella has commenced early-stage exploration and field work at the Mt Edon Lithium Project. Mt Edon is located approximately 2km from Paynes Find and approximately 420km north of Perth via the Great Northern Highway. The Project overlies the southern greenstone sequences of the Paynes Find Belt, a 5km wide package of mafic, ultramafic and felsic volcanic rocks. A significant volume of pegmatite dykes/sills cut the greenstone stratigraphy and are the targets for Morella's lithium-focussed exploration activities. Field investigations took place over a five-day period in late March 2022. A small field camp was established on the Project area, with support and logistics readily available from Paynes Find. The Project was traversed by foot and quadbike and the area covered can be seen in figure 3. The focus of the fieldwork was to map and sample pegmatite outcrops within the Project area. Morella is currently awaiting the final report and results from the field work program however it was noted that all the pegmatites observed were deeply weathered with decomposed feldspar leading to friable surface outcrop in almost all instances. Given its physical properties and high-mobility, it is assessed that the heavy weathering may result in depleted grades for lithium at surface. Result and future work programs will be advised to the market in due course. Reported Earnings • Mar 13

Morella Corporation Limited Announces Geophysical Update for Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project Morella Corporation Limited announced that it has completed Phase 1 of a Passive Seismic Survey (PSS) on the Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA ("the Project"). Additional geophysical survey work has been planned and will commence in the coming week. Morella has engaged US based geology and mining services group Rangefront Mining Services ("Rangefront") to undertake field activities and data collection, the collected data then processed and interpreted by Perth based geophysical consulting group Resource Potentials Pty Ltd. ("Resource Potentials"). Fish Lake Valley is 60km to the west, southwest of the town of Tonopah and equidistant (approximately 280km) to the major Nevada cities of Las Vegas and Reno, with Tesla's Nevada Gigafactory located 37km from Reno. Morella's project area covers the entire Fish Lake Valley salt playa and is located in a well-known, highly prospective lithium region of the USA. The Phase 1 PSS has provided indications of rift basin sediment thickness, layering and possible fault-bounded sub-basin structures. The completion of a Phase 2 PSS and integration of the two data sets will allow for a greater understanding of the entire Project area basin, sub-basins, fault structures, depth and volume potential. This geophysical understanding of the sub-surface structure of the Project will form the development of a future drilling program that will target potential lithium-bearing brine reservoirs. Over the coming weeks, Morella intends to: Deploy field personnel to Fish Lake Valley to complete the Phase 2 PSS data collection. Whilst in the field, conduct calibration and possible extension-line data collection. After data collection/exchange to Resource Potentials, analyse, interpret and 3D model the entire project area. Further, the Phase 1 PSS has supported the planning of additional geophysical exploration in the form of a magnetotelluric ("MT") survey. A MT survey will help determine layering of electrically conductive and resistive features at depth, and whether any interpreted conductive zones in sub-basins may contain lithium bearing brine. US-based MT survey contractors are being engaged at present, with a target survey timeline of March-April 2022. Resource Potentials will be engaged to analyse the MT data and integrate results into the Project's sub-surface model. Annuncio • Dec 15
Altura Mining Limited Announces Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project Update Altura Mining Limited announced that it has completed a technical review of the previous exploration work completed on the Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project "the Project". The Project location can be seen in figure 1 and is equidistant (approximately 280km) to the major Nevada cities of Las Vegas and Reno (Reno is 37km from Tesla's Nevada Gigafactory) The Project area is 30km from Albemarle's Silver Peak Mine and 20km from Argosy's Tonopah Lithium project, the Project area covers the entire Fish Lake Valley salt playa. The Project is located in a known lithium producing region of the USA and presents as an excellent exploration opportunity for the Company. Fish Lake Valley Lithium Project Fish Lake Valley is located on the western margin of the Basin and Range province, within "Walker Lane" which is a zone of Miocene structural deformation that trends northwest to southeast, paralleling the trend of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Eastern California. Basin and Range faulting began during the Miocene, it is this tectonism that is responsible for the formation of the Fish Lake Valley Basin. The most prominent structure is the Furnace Creek Fault Zone (FCFZ), which is a north westerly trending right lateral or dextral fault. The Fish Lake Valley Fault Zone lies at the northern terminus of the FCFZ where a classic "pull-apart" basin was created which is responsible for the locally thick deposition of Quaternary sediments, and most likely gave rise to the deep fracture permeability that was critical in the formation of the geothermal systems associated with mineralisation.There has been considerable sedimentation in Fish Lake Valley with abundant clays, silts, sands andgravels transported from the hills surrounding the basin. The valley fill sediments can be quite thick insome basins, although it is thought that they are only moderately developed (300-600m thick) at thenorthern end of Fish Lake Valley given the historic borehole and gravity data available.From multiple company presentations and disclosures, it is clear that the region is highly prospectivefor lithium, Nevada has seen rapid growth in lithium exploration and development projects seeking torecover lithium from both lithium brine and clay-based deposits. Work by Lithium Corporation in 2011 identified an area at the north end of the northernmost playa, approximately 2.0km wide by 3.2km long, where lithium values in brines are more than 50 mg/L, along with elevated boron and potassium levels. This anomalous area encapsulates a more enriched zone which measures approximately 1.40km by 1.62km. Within this enriched zone lithium-in-brine values range from 100 to 150 mg/L, with boron ranging from 1,500 to 2,670 mg/L and potassium from 5,400 to 8,400 mg/L. Previous exploration work completed by Lithium Corporation from 2010 to 2013 includes shallow brine sampling and direct push drilling, it should be noted that the claim boundaries have changed over the years but the most prospective/enriched zone has always been retained and is the primary focus of the Earn in Option Agreement. Lithium Corporation performed two direct-push probing programs on the periphery of the playa, the first in 2010, and the second in 2013. Both programs were planned to be carried out on the playa, but wet conditions forced the drill pads to be located well away from the area of interest, and the holes were drilled mainly on the fringes of the playa, directly adjacent to the gravel roads that ring the playa. In late November 2012 Lithium Corporation completed a 17-hole probing program on the playa, which detected anomalous lithium brine mineralisation at depths down to 24.4m. Board Change • Dec 15
