| ABSTRACT: | Savannah Resources plc (AIM: SAV) ('Savannah' or 'the Company'), the AIM quoted resource development company, is pleased to announce new and outstanding results from the ongoing reverse circulation ('RC') drill programme at the Mina do Barroso Lithium Project ('Mina do Barroso' or the 'Project') located in Portugal (Figure 1). The drill programme, which is aiming to generate a JORC - 2012 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate, has returned significant intersections of lithium mineralisation. Savannah's CEO, David Archer said: "We believe these are outstanding results that represent some of the best lithium spodumene intersections ever reported for a European deposit. Additionally, they highlight the potential of the extensive pegmatite systems in the northern part of Portugal to host major deposits of lithium."The results from Grandao are particularly exciting as there are some exceptional widths and high-grades reported and the geometry of what we are seeing suggests that there is potential for a low stripping ratio, open-cut mine development. It is important to remember that all of the results are from deposit areas for which we have a granted mining lease."These results continue to underscore the potential of the Mina do Barroso Project to be a strategic upstream feature in the European lithium value chain. From an investment perspective, we see the Project as the closest European analogue to the very successful Australian hard-rock, open cut mine developments which produce highly sought-after lithium spodumene concentrates for international markets."Ongoing drilling and metallurgical test work will be used to support an early scoping study around a potential mine development."
