Financial Information
In accordance with the requirements of paragraph 4.1 of Appendix 6A of the listing rules, the Company provides the
following information:
a) The amount spent on exploration and administration since the date of the last audited financial statements,
being 30 June 2015, is $471,000; and
b) The Company intends to use the funds to advance exploration on its lithium project interests as listed in the
table below, costs of the issue and additional working capital.
It is proposed that the funds raised will be used to:
Undertake geochemical surveys at two of the Company’s Western Australian exploration projects;
Investigate globally the occurrence of prospective lithium mica mineralisation;
Advance the lithium potential of the Cinovec project in the Czech Republic; and
Production of lithium carbonate for commercial evaluation.
LIT announced on 25 June 2015 that it had achieved notable success in detecting buried pegmatites of the LCT
(lithium, caesium, tantalum) class at its Seabrook project near Southern Cross in WA. It is this class of pegmatites that
have the potential to host lithium micas which are the focus of the Company’s exploration in WA.
The new technique will be employed to delineate LCT pegmatites in the Cocanarup field near Ravensthorpe in WA on
tenements held 100% by LIT. An amount of $70,000 has been allocated to cover the costs of the detailed survey.
LIT has an agreement with Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX: PLS) which is developing the Pilgangoora project located
150 km, southeast of Port Hedland. Lithium at Pilgangoora is contained both in silicate (spodumene) and lithium rich
micas. LIT is proposing to spend an amount of $60,000 on detailed geochemistry of selected areas of the deposit with
the aim of delineating zones enriched in lithium mica.
The Company remains committed to the global search for LCT style pegmatites and other prospective lithium mica
hosts. LIT is currently developing geological models to guide the identification of favourable host terranes and to
apply the knowledge in the global search for deposits of a tonnage and grade that satisfies broad economic
parameters as established by the Company. An amount of $75,000 has been allotted for the task.
LIT together with partner European Metals Holdings Limited (ASX: EMH) are progressing towards formalising the joint
venture between the two companies focused on exploiting disruptive lithium processing technology to recover
lithium from the Cinovec deposit located in the northwest of the Czech Republic. Funds will used to finalise the joint
venture and to contribute to the operation of a mini-plant in Perth. The mini-plant will use bulk samples of Cinovec
mineralisation to produce lithium carbonate for market evaluation.

Geological Data
The Cocanarup pegmatite field was explored intermittently since 1900 when it was discovered along with the nearby
and more significant Catlin Creek pegmatite. In the early 1980’s the occurrence was explored by a consortium
comprising Amax Australia Limited, Chevron Exploration Corp and Noranda Australia Limited. Field mapping and rock
chip sampling identified three separate pegmatite occurrences containing the lithium micas lepidolite and
zinnwaldite. The group drilled several reverse circulation drill holes into the pegmatites targeting columbite-tantalite
mineralisation which appeared to be localised and lack continuity. More recent work in the late 1990’s has focused
on the potential for ceramic quality feldspar with no attention directed at the potential of the lithium mica
mineralisation
PLS advised that it had advanced the Pilgangoora tantalum-lithium deposit which contains JORC compliant Indicated
and Inferred Mineral Resources. PLS announced an update to this project on 24 September 2015, 1 and 13 October
2015.
Cinovec is a very large greisen (altered granite) style deposit that contains tin and other minerals as well as abundant
lithium mica in the form of zinnwaldite which typically contains about 3% LiO2. EMH is currently evaluating the deposit
using an extensive historical exploration database and new drilling in critical areas of the deposit.
EMH announced a drill program update on 06 October 2015. The current EMH drill program has been planned to
allow conversion of resources from the Inferred to Indicated category and provide material for metallurgical testing.
LIT refers to the Competent Persons statement in the EMH announcement dated 6 October 2015 and confirms
that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects that information and that all material
assumptions underpinning the resource estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The exploration programs have been reviewed and recommended to the directors of LIT by Mr Lindsay Cahill. Mr
Cahill is a consultant geologist and member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.
