HIGHLIGHTS

  • Balkan Mining and Minerals Ltd (“BMM”) exploration activities during the quarter was primarily focused on evaluation of the Gorge Lithium Project (Ontario, Canada)
  • BMM evaluated the data received from exploration completed at the Tango Lithium Project with a view to progress the project during the upcoming field season
  • Currently BMM is awaiting assays from a 1,500m diamond drill program completed at Gorge in Q2 FY24. The company is working on the delivery of the assays with the contactor responsible and will release the results as soon as possible
  • BMM continues to conserve capital with limited on-ground exploration and is evaluating opportunities outside the Ontario region to identify assets complementary to the Company’s existing portfolio and skillsets with potential to add significant shareholder value

Balkan Mining and Minerals, Managing Director, Ross Cotton commented:

“Whilst we are frustrated by delays in receiving the assays from our maiden diamond drilling activity conducted at the Gorge Lithium Project in Ontario, we have nevertheless conducted valuable analysis of the data collected to date during the quarter. We are attempting to resolve the issues preventing us access to the assays with a third party and intend to release the assay results as soon as they are received.

In the meantime, we are assessing several exciting opportunities to improve and diversify our project portfolio and will advise our shareholders of any new potentialities if and when appropriate.”

Gorge Lithium Project (Ontario, Canada)

As reported in the December 2023 Quarterly Activities Report, a maiden 2,500m diamond drill program was completed at the Gorge Lithium Project during December 2023. The drilling activity focused on known pegmatite occurrences at the Nelson and Koshman prospects with wide visual spodumene mineralisation observed in drill core at the Koshman Prospect (see ASX Announcement dated 12 December 2023).

BMM has been seeking to obtain the assays from this drill campaign from a third party. The Company is attempting to resolve the issues preventing access to this information and will advise shareholders of the assay results as soon as they are received.

Top 4 Largest Lithium Reserves by Country

Those interested in the lithium sector and investing in lithium stocks are often curious about which countries are the top producers of the battery metal, but they may not stop to consider the top lithium reserves by country.

Major lithium-producing countries are, of course, home to a large number of lithium companies. Many of the world’s top lithium producers also hold significant reserves, and their reserves can give an idea of how much room those countries have to grow. At the same time, nations with high reserves may become more significant lithium players in the future.

Looking forward, lithium demand is expected to continue increasing. That’s because, together with metals such as cobalt, lithium is a key raw material in the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles, and it is also essential for the energy storage sector.

Top 9 Lithium-producing Countries

Interest in lithium continues to grow due to its role in the lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles (EVs). As a result, more and more attention is landing on the top lithium-producing countries.

About 80 percent of the lithium produced globally goes toward battery production, but other industries also consume the metal. For example, 7 percent of lithium is used in ceramics and glass, while 4 percent goes to lubricating greases.

According to the US Geological Survey, lithium use in batteries has increased in recent years due to the use of rechargeable batteries in portable electronic devices, as well as in electric tools, EVs and grid storage applications.
