Disclaimer: We are NOT geologists - this document is used by our team to internally to try and track TYX’s progress with its drilling program, it should not be relied upon by anyone to make any decisions. This document will change over time as the project evolves. For all disclaimers and disclosures please visit our website.
Our Big Bet:
“TYX discovers and defines a large, simple to process lithium resource, that is on par with world class multi-billion dollar ASX peers such as Pilbara Minerals, Core Exploration, and Liontown Resources, AVZ Minerals and Sayona Mining.”
NOTE: our “Big Bet” is what we HOPE the ultimate success scenario looks like for this particular Investment over the long term (3+ years). There is a lot of work to be done, many risks involved - just some of which we list in our TYX Investment Memo. Success will require a significant amount of luck. There is no guarantee that our Big Bet will ever come true.

More on the project:
Known areas of lithium mineralisation, never been drill tested before.
Spodumene crystals exposed at surface.
30 May 2022 - Historic rock chip sampling results
Key takeaways:
01 August 2022 - Phase 1 exploration (fieldwork) completed.
Key Takeaways:
20 August 2022 - Historic rock chip sampling results
Key Takeaways:
What do we want to see next?
TYX has proven the presence of spodumene bearing pegmatites at its project as well as lithium mineralisation.
We now want to see the drilling prove that these outcropping pegmatites extend undercover enough to confirm a new discovery.
12 September 2022 - First ever lithium drilling program detailed
Key takeaways:
18 October 2022 - 6 hole diamond drilling program started
7 November 2022 - Spodumene hits early into the drilling program
Spodumene hits in drillholes 004 and 005.
06 December 2022 - Maiden drilling program completed
What we want to see from the drill results
22 February 2023 - Maiden drill program intersects 2.02% lithium over 22.75m
NDDH004; 22.75m @ 2.02% Li2O from 20.25m
− Includes 7m @ 3.06% Li2O from 24m
− Containing 1m @ 5.26% Li2O from 29m
Here are our key takeaways from TYX lithium results:
Big positive development.
The $8.3BN capped Chinese mining giant Sinomine is investing up to $31M in TYX, and will have a first right of refusal on an offtake deal for 50% of TYX’s lithium production.
The $31M funding deal is split over two phases:
Phase 1:
Phase 2 (Sinomine will have the option to exercise this phase):
What’s next for TYX?
🔄 Fieldwork
TYX intends to get back on the ground in Angola and test “some remote targets” within the larger Namibe Lithium Project.
They will also be prepping sites for drilling and establishing access to the sites.
🔄 Metallurgical testwork
Metwork is currently in-progress and TYX says results are expected in late March or early April.
Metwork is when samples are taken from drill programs and then run through industry standard processing methods to see how much of the valuable materials can be recovered (in TYX’s case its the lithium).
Metwork can make or break projects so we’ll be eying the recovery grades closely.
🔄 2nd drill program
Deeper drilling at the Muvero Prospect in addition to the drilling of at least 2 additional prospects.
TYX is fast tracking the planning process for its next round of drilling so we are hoping to see the company drill very soon.
