·    Uncased auger drilling was used to collect soil samples. All holes were drilled to refusal.

·    Each site was cleared of debris and plant material prior to drilling and levelled.

·    Holes that failed to progress beyond 2m were redrilled to mitigate the eventuality a hole encountered a boulder and to ensure that the maximum depth could be reached to collect a suitable sample from as close to the bedrock as possible. A total of 296 holes comprising 268 unique positions and 28 redrills due to refusal at <2m.

·    Holes varied between 1m and 12m in depth. The samples were collected at 1m intervals, weighing approximately 10kg.

·    The samples were then riffle split to produce a nominal 5kg subsample. Any oversize material was coned and quartered and added to the primary sample and reject sample bags. Additional splitting was conducted on samples >5kg.

·    The primary focus of this sampling was to determine possible northeast and southwest extension of the pegmatite(s) exposed at Spodumene Hill.

·    Uncased auger drilling was used to collect samples at 1m intervals.

·    The drilling was conducted by Royal Mining LTD, a company based in Abidjan using 2x Drilling Equipment Plant  manufactured rigs and towed by a Jiang Fa 2500 tractor. The rigs total depth capability was 16.5m.

·    All holes were drilled vertically.

·    1723 auger soil samples were collected weighing between 1.6kg and 5kg, averaging 4.8kg.

·    Sample recoveries are considered suitably representative for the purposes of target generation.

·    All the auger holes were geologically logged at 1m sample intervals.

·    All samples were photographed.

·    The 1m samples were riffle split on site to obtain a nominal 5kg subsample. A 5kg duplicate sample was also prepared for each sample from the reject material and has been retained on site. If necessary, the samples were laid out on bags and sun dried and de-clumped prior to riffle splitting.

·    At the end of the first riffle, samples in both pans of the splitter are poured into a large, labelled, plastic bag and mixed in the bag by shaking. After mixing, the sample is again riffle split by pouring from the bag into the riffle. This procedure is repeated a second time to thoroughly mix the sample and minimise possible bias in the splitting process.

·    The primary samples were submitted to Intertek in Yamoussoukro for sample preparation.

·    At Intertek the samples were dried in trays, crushed entirely to a nominal 2 mm using a Jaw Crusher. The entire sample was then pulverized in a LM2 mill to a nominal 85% passing 75μm. Approximately 100g sub-sample was taken for assay with the remaining sample returned to a plastic bag if the original is not suitable. All preparation equipment was flushed with barren material prior to the commencement of the batches and between every 10 samples.

·    The auger soil samples are considered suitable for identifying exploration targets.

·    The sample pulps were couriered to Intertek in Perth for assay using a 4 acid digest followed by an ICP-MS assay. Method code 4A/MS48. The samples were assayed for 48 elements including Cs, K, Li, Ta, Nb, Rb and Sn.

·    4 acid digest results in the near complete digestion of the sample and is suitable for many refractory, difficult-to-dissolve minerals. 4-acid digest also provides for a more-complete digestion of some silicate mineral species and is considered to provide reliable determinations of elements associated with LCT pegmatites and associated mineralisation.

·    QAQC samples comprising blanks (glass bottles) and certified reference materials sourced from OREAS and Geostats in Australia were inserted into the sample batches. In addition, the laboratory (Intertek) incorporated its own internal QAQC procedures to monitor its assay results prior to release of results to Firering.

·    The Competent Person is satisfied that the results of the QAQC are acceptable and that the assay data from Intertek are suitable for the reporting of exploration results.

·    Geophysical instruments were not used in assessing the mineralisation.

·    No verification sampling was done.

·    The auger logging and sampling data were captured onto paper logs and transferred into an Excel spreadsheets that were imported into a SQL database managed by CSA Global.

·    The field programme was managed by SEMS-Exploration (Cote d'Ivoire).

·    All hole locations were recorded on a handheld GPS. The information was then transferred to the logging Excel spreadsheets.

·    All data is stored locally on a laptop computer and also backed-up onto the cloud.

·    The assay data has not been adjusted.

·    The auger hole locations were recorded using a handheld GPS device.

·    Coordinates are relative to WGS84 UTM zone 29P.

·    The locations are considered suitably accurate for the purpose of reporting exploration results.

·    The results will not be used in any Mineral Resource estimation.

·    Individual auger lines were orientated northwest-southeast (perpendicular to the inferred orientation of the pegmatite at Spodumene Hill) and lines spaced at 100m along a northeast-southwest orientation.

·    The grid was designed to determine potential strike extents to the northeast-southwest striking Spodumene Hill pegmatite.

·    The results will not be used in any Mineral Resource estimation.

·    All samples were collected, labelled and bagged on site by the SEMS-Exploration team. At the end of each day the samples were placed in large plastic bags and large plastic labelled bags. Each bag usually contained samples from one hole.

·    Samples were then secured and stored at Firering's office in Touvre.

·    The sample batches were collected from Touvre by Intertek Yamoussoukro.

·    The sample lists were submitted to Intertek electronically and checked by Intertek against what was received.

·    Once the samples had been prepared Intertek Yamoussoukro couriered the sample pulps to Intertek Perth for assay.

·    The auger sampling technique was reviewed by the Mr John Coates of SEMS-Exploration and the Competent Person during the site visit in January 2022.

·    Discussions were also held with key technical staff from SEMS-Exploration regarding the geology, sampling and data capture they conducted.

·    The Competent Person considers that the exploration work conducted to date is using appropriate techniques for the style of mineralisation and is suitable for the reporting of the exploration results.
