Savannah Resources PLC: Metallurgical test work Confirms that High Quality Saleable Quartz

And Feldspar Products can be Generated as a Co-product with Spodumene Lithium

Mina do Barroso Lithium Project


Savannah Resources plc (AIM: SAV, FWB: SAV and SWB: SAV) ('Savannah' or the 'Company'), the AIM quoted resource development company, which is focused on becoming Europe's most significant producer of lithium spodumene concentrates from its Portuguese Mina do Barroso Project ('Mina do Barroso', 'MdB' or 'the Project'), is pleased to announce that its ongoing metallurgical test work has successfully produced saleable quartz and feldspar products.


Highlights

- High quality, saleable quartz and feldspar co-products producedfrom ongoing metallurgical test work programme

-- Co-products will be produced from further processing of the tail material from the spodumene concentration process

- Initial indications are that the following products can be produced and market studies by First Test Minerals have been completed to provide some indicative pricings for the products:

-- Feldspar(Na2O+K2O+Li2O grades >12%) potential price range of US$65-100/tonne

-- Quartz(99.6% pure) potential price range US$60-100/tonne

-- Bulk Tail(Na2O+K2O+Li2O grades >7%) potential price range of US$40-45/tonne

-- All products have low levels of potential impurities, below maximum limits specified by customers

- Importantly, the potential pricing of the productswhich can be produced have been identified as being significantly higher, by First Test Minerals, than those conservative values used in the recent Scoping Studyof US$39/tonne for feldspar and US$33/tonne for quartz

- Test work for co-product and specifications independently evaluated and confirmedby ceramics industry expert, First Test Minerals Ltd

- Bulk co-products currently being generated for further evaluation by potential customers and preliminary offtake discussions are underwaywith a number of potential parties

- Significant environmental benefitfrom the sale of co-products, reducing the potential size of the footprint of any potential operation

- Sale of co-products to prove economically beneficial for the Company, through the diversification of asset products


Savannah's CEO, David Archer said:"The area in which we operate is a major quarrying region for ceramic materials which supply the vibrant ceramics industries in both Portugal and Spain. Importantly, having multiple product streams means we are maximising the value adding potential of the Project while also reducing the volume of non-saleable material that will need to be emplaced on site in contoured and vegetated landforms. I look forward to providing further updates as we progress our Feasibility Study towards delivery in 2019."
