o 12.3m (at) 1.55% Li2O from 69m, including 5.1m (at) 2.13% Li2O from 76m in Hole 19-BD-333
- Soil and rock chip sampling have led to the discovery of five new spodumene-bearing pegmatites
- Recent x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis continues to confirm spodumene-only lithium mineralogy

Piedmont Lithium Limited (Piedmont or Company) is pleased to announce drill results for the final 19 drill holes of the Phase 4 drill campaign completed on the Piedmont Lithium Project (Project) located within the world-class Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt (TSB) in North Carolina, USA (Figure 2). The drill results are from the Central and Core properties. Significant mineralization was encountered in 17 of the 19 holes reported.

The Phase 4 program comprised a total of 113 drill holes for 18,393 meters on both the Core and Central properties. 12 holes for 1,834 meters have been completed on the Central property (Figure 3) since an initial Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) was announced in April 2019. 7 holes totaling 820 meters have been completed at Core property (Figure 4) since announcing an updated MRE in June 2019. At both properties, the drilling was predominantly focused on Exploration Target areas.

These drill results continue to expand the extent of mineralization on both properties. At Central, mineralization has been extended laterally, to the southwest, and down dip. At the Core property, 5 of the 7 holes confirmed a significant new flat lying pegmatite in the southwest portion of the property.

Additionally, Piedmont has undertaken soil sampling over the past year which has proved to be a valuable exploration tool within the TSB. This years soil sampling program followed by rock chip sampling has led to the discovery of five new spodumene-bearing pegmatites on Piedmont exploration properties.

The regional data continues to highlight the overall size and continuity of the Carolina TSB and its importance as a domestic source for the critical element, lithium. Figure 1 shows a 25-mile portion of the Carolina TSB which hosts two historic mines, Piedmonts Lithiums MRE, USGS Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) spodumene/lithium occurrences and other areas of confirmed spodumene mineralization documented by Piedmont Lithiums activities and regional mapping. After 70 years of history, the belt still has enormous exploration potential to add additional lithium resources.

Finally, recent XRD analysis from two composite samples, one from Core and one from Central, continue to identify spodumene as the only lithium bearing mineral identified.

Keith D. Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: We are excited by the continued positive news on the exploration front. In 2019 we increased our Mineral Resource Estimate from 16.2Mt (at) 1.12% to 27.9Mt (at) 1.11%, and we believe there is significant potential for further increases. The Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt is one of the worlds largest spodumene occurrences, and as we continue to build our land package and have exploration success, the potential for mine life extension or throughput expansion will be an important area of focus.

Central Property Drilling Discussion
Eastern Dike
The most interesting drill results reported are from 19-CT-019, where two wide intercepts of spodumene bearing pegmatite were encountered along the eastern dike trend: 36.0m (at) 1.11 Li2O% beginning at 14.6m downhole and 44.9 m (at) 1.30% Li2O beginning at 72.4m downhole (Figure 3). This hole was a 54-meter step out to the southwest of hole 19-CT-018, which was the last hole included in the initial Central MRE. A follow-up hole 19-CT-020 was drilled in the opposite direction to scissor hole 19-CT-019, and a cross section (A-A) interpretation is provided in Figure 4. The intercepts reported are drill thickness and not true thickness as interpretations suggest the pegmatite has a slight westerly dip.

Hole 19-CT-021 was drilled approximately 30 meters southwest of 19-CT-020; it encountered two thin spodumene bearing dikes suggesting that the thickest portion of the eastern dike plunges to the southwest beneath holes 19-CT-020 and 19-CT-021.

Hole 19-CT-022 was drilled 92 meters north of 19-CT-020 and was designed to reconfirm the dip and to upgrade the resource classification of the eastern dike. The results confirm the near vertical orientation of the eastern spodumene bearing dike.

Holes 19-CT-024 and 19-CT-028 both targeted sub-crop of spodumene bearing pegmatite. These holes encountered mineralization at shallow depths downhole, 2.0 m and 0.8m, respectively. Hole 19-CT-025 was drilled to the southeast under 19-CT-024 and 19-CT-028 with no significant results suggesting the mineralization encountered in 19-CT-024 and 19-CT-028 is a portion of the eastern dike system and dips south-easterly.

Western Dike
Holes 19-CT-026, 19-CT-027 and 19-CT-029 targeted the southeast dipping western dike. All the holes intercepted significant mineralization and continue to confirm the 60-75-degree southeast dip of the western dike. The deeper intercepts in holes 19-CT-026 and 19-CT-027 targeted the lower edge of the resource block. These results will expand the resource 40 - 80 meters down dip.

Hole 19-CT-029 was drilled, in the Exploration Target area, 80m southwest of hole 19-CT-012. These results significantly expand the potential resource to the southwest. In addition, this hole encountered four individual mineralized dikes suggesting more complex diking and the possibility of sub horizontal dike orientations.

Other
Hole 19-CT-030 was targeting a small spodumene bearing outcrop in a previously unexplored area. Several zones of barren pegmatite were encountered within the drill hole with no significant mineralization reported.

Core Property Drilling Discussion
Of the seven holes completed, four targeted a zone in the southwest portion of the property where little to no drilling had been previously completed (Figure 5). In Piedmont Lithiums press release dated May 29, 2019 a cross section was included where two relatively steep dipping dikes were interpreted with a potential flat lying dike connecting two steep dipping dikes. This area was described as having significant or high potential. Five holes targeted this potential flat lying dike with all five successfully intersecting the dike. Holes 19-BD-332 and 19BD-333 successfully intersected spodumene bearing pegmatite at expected depths (Figure 6). Hole 19-BD-332 was most significant as it targeted the up-dip of the eastern steep dipping dike (12.4m (at) 1.02% Li2O) and the new flat lying dike (14.8m (at) 1.55% Li2O%) whereas hole 19-BD-333 targeted the flat lying pegmatite (12.3m (at) 1.55% Li2O ) approximately 60 meters northwest.

Holes 19-BD-333, 334, 337 and 338 have now traced the extent of the flat lying pegmatite for over 200 meters to the south. Oriented core and cross section interpretations confirm the dike has an east-west strike with a shallow south dip. Mineralization, both up dip and downdip, remains open.

Soil Sampling and Rock Chip Sampling
Soil sampling has proven to be an excellent prospecting tool for spodumene bearing pegmatite within the Carolina Tin- Spodumene Belt. To date, piedmont has collected 2,390 soil samples from its properties. The samples have been assayed by ICP analysis for 49 elements. By evaluating abundances and ratios of elements in the soils, bedrock lithologies can be interpreted. A specific suit of elements highlights pegmatite bedrock. Prospecting these areas indicative of pegmatite bedrock along with areas of elevated lithium has led to the discovery of pegmatites and spodumene bearing pegmatites.

For example, the eastern pegmatite at the Central property was highlighted by soil geochemistry, a pegmatite bedrock signature with a weak to moderate lithium anomaly. Subsequent prospecting identified a few small float blocks of spodumene pegmatite, drilling then confirmed the discovery of a significant high grade spodumene pegmatite.

Figure 7 shows five additional areas in which spodumene bearing pegmatite have been discovered using the soil data followed by prospecting and rock chip sampling. The maximum lithium assays from the rock chip samples are shown on the figure, and a complete table of rock samples from each area are shown in Appendix 2. Rock chip samples were collected from float blocks to outcrop. Spodumene has been confirmed visually from all the areas highlighted.

X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Analysis
Recent XRD analysis continue to confirm the unique spodumene only lithium mineralogy for Piedmont Lithiums resources and the Carolina TSB. Piedmont selected two drill holes, one from Central (19-CT-014) and one from Core (19-BD-265), where SGS Laboratories composited drill core sample pulps from mineralized pegmatite within the mineral resource. Subsequently a sub-sample was collected from each of the two composites and analyzed at SGS Lakefield using Semi-Quantitative Mineral Identification by XRD (ME-LR-MIN-MET-MN-D03) method. The composites were reconciled with a bulk chemistry whole rock analysis and/or other chemical data. The details for each sample are summarized below in Table 1.

The XRD results, along with the data presented in the Press Release of June 18, 2019, continue to demonstrate that lithium occurs almost exclusively within spodumene in Piedmonts mineral resource. Percentages of spodumene from the XRD analysis correlate well with the Li2O% calculated from the drill core pulps. Additionally, the results show the pegmatite has very similar mineralogy and mineral percentages from one property to another. The primary mineralogy of the mineralized pegmatite consists of quartz, albite, spodumene, microcline and muscovite.

Sampling precision was monitored by
selecting a sample interval likely
to be mineralized and splitting
the sample into two ¼ core
duplicate samples over the same
sample interval. These samples
were consecutively numbered after
the primary sample and recorded in
the sample database as field
duplicates and the primary sample
number recorded. Field duplicates
were collected at the rate of 1 in
20 samples when sampling
mineralized drill core intervals.
Random sampling precision was
monitored by splitting samples at
the sample crushing stage (coarse
crush duplicate) and at the final
sub-sampling stage for analysis
(pulp duplicates). The coarse,
jaw-crushed, reject material was
split into two preparation
duplicates, sometimes referred to
as second cuts, crusher or
preparation duplicates, which were
then pulverized and

analyzed separately. These
duplicate samples were selected
randomly by the laboratory.
Analytical precision was also
monitored using pulp duplicates,
sometimes referred to as
replicates or repeats. Data from
all three types of duplicate
analyses was used to constrain
sampling variance at different
stages of the sampling and
preparation
process.
