Additional near-Surface High Grade Drill Results from Piedmont’s Core Property

  • Piedmont has received assay results from 41 additional drill holes
    from the Phase 4 drilling campaign, with 40 of the 41 holes reporting
    significant mineralization, including:

    • 17.0m @ 1.60% Li2O from 75mand
      6.6m @ 1.44% Li
      2O from 64m in Hole
      19-BD-295
    • 14.9m @ 1.76% Li2O from 27m and 4.3m @
      0.95% Li
      2O from 52m in Hole 19-BD-298
  • Occurrence of shallow intercepts is consistent with prior results
    on Piedmont’s Core property
  • An additional 18 Phase 4 holes have been drilled with assays pending
  • Piedmont is on track to report a significant increase in Mineral
    Resource estimates in June 2019
  • Scoping Study update with materially extended life of mine targeted
    for July 2019

NEW YORK – Piedmont Lithium Limited (“Piedmont” or “Company”) is
pleased to announce Phase 4 drill results for 41 drill holes (refer to
Appendix 1) completed on the Piedmont Lithium Project (“Project”)
located within the world-class Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt (“TSB”)
in North Carolina, USA. The results are from Exploration Target areas
and new properties within the Project’s Core property (“Core”)
(Figure 1). Significant mineralization was encountered in 40 of the 41
holes reported.

Phase 4 drilling continues to expand the extent and continuity of the
pegmatite system on Core, thus giving confidence in a significant
Mineral Resource estimate update in June. In 2018, the Company announced
a Mineral Resource estimate at Core of 16.2Mt @ 1.12% Li2O
which supported a 13-year project life as reported in the Company’s
Scoping Study announced in September 2018. In April 2019 the Company
announced an increased Mineral Resource estimate of 19.0Mt @ 1.15% Li2O
inclusive of a Mineral Resource estimate at the Company’s Central
property.

Keith D. Phillips, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We
are very pleased with these interim results from Phase 4 drilling, which
continue to highlight high-grade mineralization near-surface.
The
shallow nature of the ore body, combined with pure spodumene mineralogy,
local by-product markets and exceptional infrastructure, are important
factors which should position the Piedmont Lithium Project in the first
quartile of the cost curve. We look forward to reporting a significant
increase to our property-wide resource in June, and to reflecting that
enlarged resource in an updated scoping study in July.

About Piedmont Lithium

Piedmont Lithium Limited (ASX:PLL; Nasdaq:PLL) holds a 100% interest in
the Piedmont Lithium Project located within the Carolina Tin-Spodumene
Belt (“TSB”) and along trend to the Hallman Beam and Kings Mountain
mines, which historically provided most of the western world’s lithium
between the 1950s and the 1980s. The TSB has been described as one of
the largest lithium regions in the world and is located approximately 25
miles west of Charlotte, North Carolina.

In September 2018 the Company published a Scoping Study for an
integrated lithium hydroxide business based on a maiden Mineral Resource
estimate of 16.2 million tonnes (“Mt”) grading at 1.12% Li2O which
featured a 13-year project life, NPV8 of US$888 million, a US$3,112 per
tonne lithium hydroxide operating cost, and a US$193 per tonne spodumene
concentrate operating cost.
