1 Cube Consulting Pty Ltd was commissioned by WhiteRock Lithium Corp. to prepare an independent Exploration Target for the Banana Lithium Project in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). The Exploration Target includes pegmatites at the Spodumene Mountain, Isabella and Marine prospects.
The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Bordering James Bay Lithium District, Quebec
The tenements were pegged in 2022 by the founders and the discovery was made in 2022 when pegmatite outcrops were discovered at what was quickly and appropriately named the “Spodumene Mountain” prospect.
Subsequently, further nearby pegmatite outcrops were revealed at other prospects across an area of 2.5 km by 1.5 km.
Channel sampling was conducted in 2023 and confirmed high grade spodumene mineralization in the outcrops. 3 separate channels were cut, totaling 63 metres in length.
The highest results encountered were 5.02% Li₂O over 1 m and 857 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 1 m. Full channel results are shown in the link here. View full channel results
The first drilling campaign was conducted in the summer of 2024 with 29 diamond drill holes for 8447 m in total.
LCT pegmatite was present in all 29 holes with multiple stacked pegmatites found, shallow-dipping to the east at 20-30°. The discovery is open down dip and along strike, to the east, south and west. View 2024 drilling results
Mineralogy and metallurgy test work was undertaken on core samples from the 2024 drilling campaign. 10 core samples from Spodumene Mountain and Isabella prospects, each of 10 metres in length were quarter cut and crushed and assessed using XRD and HLS techniques. Highlights of XRD testing include:
HLS metallurgy tests were conducted to produce spodumene concentrate (SC) at 2 different grades, SC 6.0 and SC 5.5. Exceptional recoveries of 60-87% for a first stage testwork program. In general, coarse grained spodumene was observed, which aligns with the HLS recoveries.
An Overview
Exploration target: 190 – 275 Mt @ 1.2 – 1.6 % Li₂O (IGR Jul-2025)
Tier-1 scale corridor: Independent Cube Consulting geology consultants estimate a 190-275 Mt @ 1.2–1.6% Li₂O exploration target across Spodumene Mountain, Isabella and Marine.
Significant potential to identify additional pegmatite clusters.
High-grade lithium-bearing pegmatites mapped across a 3.75 km² corridor — open along strike and down dip.
Multiple, wide intervals around 2% Li₂O near surface with these highlights.
64.7 m @ 2.14% Li₂O from 43 m (ZS-24-006)
79.3 m @ 2.00% Li₂O from surface/collared in pegmatite (ZS-24-003)
60.4 m @ 1.86% Li₂O from 78 m (ZI-24-017)
DMS-only flowsheet potential with high Li recovery
Heavy Liquid Separation (¼‑inch grind).
Up to 87% Li₂O recovery to 6.0% concentrate.
DMS-only flowsheet supported by current HLS tests. Low Fe₂O₃.
Coarse‑grained spodumene observed throughout Spodumene Mountain.
Estimated range of potential mineralisation in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
