Sayona Mining Ltd (ASX:SYA) Authier Phase 3 Drilling Commences

Brisbane, Nov 13, 2017 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Sayona Mining Limited (ASX:SYA) (DMNXF:OTCMKTS) ("Sayona" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of the Phase 3 drilling program at the Authier lithium project, Quebec.

The objective of the diamond drilling program of up to 3,000 metres, includes:

- Collecting up to 5 tonnes of drill core for a pilot metallurgical testing program. The pilot program data will be used for inputs into the process plant design in the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS");

- Infill definition drilling within the main resource zone where the mineralisation is not well defined and is currently treated as waste. This has the potential to reduce the waste to ore ratio;

- Potential expansion of the northern pegmatite zone which intersected 7m @ 1.36% Li20 from 15 metres in the last drilling program; and

- Completion of geotechnical drilling. This will enable finalisation of the pit wall slopes for the DFS.

The drilling and pilot metallurgy programs will be the last major work programs before completion of the DFS in early 2018.
