During its preparations for the field program the Company has reviewed a number of historical reportsdetailing the work conducted on the property by the Serbian state geological entities. These historicalprograms were focused on and established the presence of tantalum, tin and beryl mineralisation, whilegenerallynoextensiveworkwasconductedtoevaluatethepotentialoflithiummineralisation.
