"The first quarter of the financial year has been very busy for the Company. Drilling finished at our San Domingo pegmatite asset, with promising assay results received which have been used to design a second drill programme in the district, which commenced during Q2 2023. We also commenced our fourth drill programme at our Basin lithium in clay project during March 2023, with very promising assay results received to date, which include our highest-grade assay received to date. Post quarter end, drilling at Basin finished with the results being fed into an upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate which is anticipated in mid-September 2023.

The pace of development will continue through the the second half of the year, and we look forward to updating our shareholders as we receive the exploration results."

Corporate and Exploration Highlights

Exploration Highlights

Set forth in this section is a description of the Company's material mineral projects. All scientific and technical data contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Joey Wilkins, B.Sc., P.Geo., who is Chief Operating Officer at Bradda Head and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").

Arizona Sedimentary Hosted Lithium Projects

Basin Project

On 16 March 2023, the Company commenced sonic drilling at the Basin project. As part of the 2023 Basin drill programme, the Company expects to drill up to 25 holes in the coming months at Basin East Extension ("BEE"), Basin East ("BE") and Basin North ("BN"). The goal of the 2023 Basin drill programme is to increase coverage over as much of the Project's 17km2 area as possible. To date, approximately 1.4km2 of the area has been drilled, leading to a Mineral Resource of 371kt of LCE, as noted below.

During the drilling programme the Company will continue to guarantee that all efforts are focused on ensuring that work is carried out in these areas with as little disturbance as possible. Bradda Head is using sonic drilling, which is more environmentally sensitive as it uses very little water compared to diamond core or reverse circulation drilling.

During May 2023, the assay results from the first five drill holes were received. This set of results delivered the highest grade assays from all four drill programmes to date, and confirms that lithium bearing clay continues and thickens to the west, northwest and north into its BEE lease.

Highlights from the first set of assay results includes:

  • 63.12m @ 954ppm Li in BES-23-03 with 24.32m @ 1,327ppm
  • 66.92m @ 1,077ppm Li in BES-23-04, with 18.30m @ 1,602 ppm
  • 63.71m @ 944ppm Li in BES-23-05, with 32.93m @ 1,029ppm

The highest-grade assay received to date of 2,676ppm Li over 1.8m was recorded in hole BES-23-05 at a depth of 109.32m.

The first four drill holes (south of the creek) located in BEE and BE have continued to demonstrate that the upper clay unit is significantly higher grade than the lower clay unit, and thickens to the North and North-west direction into BEE. Drill holes 05, 06 and 07 (the first on the north side of the Creek) confirm this, have a similar upper clay thickness to drill holes 03 and 04, and also demonstrate the upper clay thickens to the north, northwest, and west as well towards Basin West ("BW"). Drill hole 07, on the western border of BEE and BW, confirms the upper clay unit continues to thicken to the west, which is very positive for resource expansion potential into BW. The total upper clay unit is 78m, 67m, 69m, and 79m, thick for an average of 73m, in drill holes 03, 04, 05, and 06 respectively. To put that in context, the average thickness of the upper clay unit is 34m in all the previous 34 holes that intercepted upper clay in the last 3 drill programmes (2018, 2021 and 2022).

The Company expects to provide the geological results of the remaining drill holes and assays when received, and a revised resource estimate will follow once the drill programme is completed.

Positive progress is also being made on the metallurgical testing side of our lithium-bearing clays at Basin. New and existing technologies are being trialled, which may qualify for funding grants under the Biden administration's recent clean energy initiatives.

  • Tonnages are reported in metric units.
  • Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.
  • Conversion factor of Li metal to lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) = 5.323

Wikieup Project

On March 1, 2023, the Company announced the conclusion of a claims dispute mediation with Arizona Lithium Limited ("AZL"). The mediation process was initiated by Bradda Head during 2021 (as disclosed in the AIM Admission document and the Company's Listing Application for purposes of its listing on the TSX Venture Exchange). A final binding confidential settlement agreement and mutual release has been executed. Bradda Head and AZL reached a mutually agreeable claim exchange, allowing both parties to proceed with the development of each of their respective lithium projects in the area.

Following the settlement, AZL will transfer 66 federal lode unpatented mining claims to Bradda Head, and Bradda Head will transfer 55 federal lode unpatented mining claims to AZL. The transfer of the 55 claims to AZL will not have any material effect on the development of the Company's Wikieup lithium project, with the Company holding a total land package in Wikieup area of approximately 46km2. As of May 31, 2023, the process of transfering the claim ownership is still in progress.

Arizona Pegmatite District

San Domingo Project

The second and third (being the final) assay results were received during March and May 2023 from the maiden drill programme, which was completed on March 10, 2023, at the Company's San Domingo pegmatite project. Further significant intercepts of high grade lithium bearing minerals have been identified at multiple locations from the second set of assay results. Lithium bearing minerals (spodumene and some lepidolite) have been identified in c.60% of the total holes completed, and importantly the programme has only tested just over 1% of the 23km2 that Bradda Head holds at the San Domingo project.

Out of the planned 7,000m, 7,300m (47 holes completed) have been drilled with positive results demonstrating high-grade intersections.

Highlights from second and third/final set of assays include:

Central Claims

  • 9.54m @ 1.85% Li2O, 3.02m @1.49% Li2O, and 2.90m @ 3.03% Li2O in SD-DH23-037
  • 7.35m @ 0.68% Li2O, 4.79m @ 0.87% Li2O, 3.20m @ 1.22% Li2O, and 3.21m @ 0.75% Li2O in SD-DH23-036
  • 9.85m @ 0.86% Li2O in SD-DH23-034
  • 4.02m @ 1.27% Li2O in SD-DH23-035
  • 5.94m @ 1.22% Li2O in SD-DH23-046
  • 4.72m @ 0.67% Li2O in SD-DH23-038a

Northern Claims

  • 3.75m @ 2.37% Li2O, 0.85m @ 2.44% Li2O, 1.10m @ 0.82% Li2O, and 0.67m @ 1.77% Li2O in SD-DH22-025
  • 6.52m @ 1.24% Li2O in SD-DH23-041
  • 2.74m @ 2.12% Li2O in SD-DH23-042
  • 1.77m @ 1.10% Li2O in SD-DH23-040

Large spodumene crystals with scattered lepidolite are observed in all six holes drilled on the Jumbo target. Results from Jumbo include 9.54m @ 1.85% Li2O in SD-DH23-037 and 4.02m @ 1.27% Li2O in SD-DH23-035, both at shallow depths.

Based on the success of Phase 1 at the Northern Claim block, as detailed above, Phase 2 commenced at the Central Claim block, which included a detailed soil survey over the 23km2 San Domingo land package. The wider soil survey programme was completed in late February 2023. The soil sampling assay results received during May 2023 are very promising, showing priority targets along the complete 9km mineralised trend. Bradda Head's geologists have begun ground-truthing the identified soil anomalies, finding new spodumene bearing outcrops not previously recorded, and further strengthening the district scale potential at San Domingo.

In order to further strengthen the land package held at the San Domingo project, the Company acquired 100% of three inlier lode claims in the middle of its Central San Domingo claim block, for a total increase in land area owned by 60 acres. No royalties are associated with the lode claims or any of Bradda's San Domingo claims and leases.

The lode claim owners granted written permission for Bradda Head to drill on their claims prior to acquisition, upon which the final hole, SD-DH23-046, was drilled into a pegmatite (Lower Jumbo Target) and encountered abundant visible spodumene, with assays pending.

The Lower Jumbo mine (which is located on the border of one of the inlier lode claims) has a 1.5m long spodumene cast in outcrop and historic mining that reportedly produced c.155 tonnes at a grade of 5.3% Li2O in the 1950's. The acquisition of the inlier claims allows Bradda Head to fully explore the whole 9km trend without encumbrance.

Nevada Lithium Brine Projects

Wilson Project

A gravity survey was undertaken over the project with lines run East-West. The data and depth of basin is consistent with the MT (magnetotellurics). A decision to drill for brine mineralization is pending.

Eureka Project

No significant work has been undertaken on this project during the 3-month period.

Corporate Highlights

On April 26, 2023, the Company announced the appointment of Panmure Gordon (UK) as joint broker. Panmure have a wealth of expertise in mining and the lithium space, and the Company looks forward to working with them as we progress our work programmes across our portfolio of assets.

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The capital structure of the Company includes cash and cash equivalents, equity attributable to equity holders comprised of contributed equity, reserves and accumulated losses. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, sell assets or adjust the level of activities undertaken by the Company.

The Company monitors capital based on cash flow requirements for operational, exploration and evaluation expenditures. The Company has no debt or other borrowings as at the date of this Application. The Company will continue to use capital market issuances to satisfy anticipated funding requirements.

The availability of equity capital, and the price at which additional equity could be issued, is dependent upon the success of the Company's exploration activities, and upon the state of the capital markets generally. Additional financing may not be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company does not receive future financing, it may not be possible for the Company to advance the exploration and development of its mineral exploration properties. If the Company is not able to fund these minimum expenditures, it may not be able to maintain part or all of its mineral exploration property interests. See "Risk Factors".

(i) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

(j) Transactions with Related Parties

The Company has conducted transactions with officers, directors and persons or companies related to directors or officers and paid or accrued amounts as follows:

Edgewater Associates Limited ("Edgewater")

During the three-month period ended May 31, 2023, Directors' and Officers' insurance was obtained on an arms-length basis through Edgewater, which is a 100% subsidiary of Manx Financial Group ("MFG"). James Mellon and Denham Eke are Directors of both the Company and MFG.

During the period, the premium payable on the policy was US$ Nil (year ended February 28, 2023: US$ 49,318). A total of US$ 1,699 was prepaid as at the period end (February 28, 2023: US$ 14,497).

(k) Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions affect the carrying value of assets, and impact decisions as to when exploration and development costs should be capitalized or expensed.

As at May 31, 2023, the Company had incurred capitalised exploration expenditures, including capitalised licence and permit costs, of US$ 10,803,005. Changes in management's judgment as to the prospective nature, assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, technical feasibility and/or commercial viability of the relevant tenements and the Company's intentions with respect to the relevant tenements, could affect the assessment of the recoverable amount.

The Company regularly reviews its estimates and assumptions: however, actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences could be material.

As part of the fundraise completed during April 2022, all participating shareholders received a warrant on 1:1 basis for shares acquired. As a result, 73,195,560 warrants have been issued. All un-exercised warrants expire after a period of 2 years from grant date. It is assumed that warrants are exercised within 2 years from date of grant. The applied volatility is based on historical volatility.

12 Basic and diluted loss per share

The calculation of the basic loss per share is based on the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the basic earnings per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares, on the assumed conversion of all dilutive share options.

An adjustment for the dilutive effect of share options in the current year has not been reflected in the calculation of the diluted loss per share, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive, due the Company recognising a loss for the year.

Altech Batteries Ltd  CERENERGY Battery Project Funding Update

Altech Batteries Ltd CERENERGY Battery Project Funding Update

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC) (FRA:A3Y) (OTCMKTS:ALTHF) is pleased to announce an update on funding of the CERENERGY(R) sodium-chloride solid-state battery project in Saxony, Germany.

Highlights

- Financing plan and target structure in place

- Funding investment teaser documents and data room established

- Reach out to 10 commercial banks and 2 venture debt funds - all positive interests

- Shortlisting potential lead bank

- Equity Funding - potential sale of minority interest of the project to realise capital and strategic value

- Discussions and draft term sheets shared with investors

- Offtake agreement LOI signed with ZISP

On 14 June 2024, the Company, through its Germany subsidiary Altech Batteries GmbH ("ABG"), announced the appointment of global big four professional services firm ("funding adviser") to assist in securing finance for the construction of Altech's 120MWh CERENERGY(R) battery manufacturing plant in Germany. The project's financing strategy is structured across three key areas: debt, equity, and grants.

These sources will cover not only the capital expenditures but also financing costs, working capital, debt service coverage, and an additional contingency for potential business interruptions, See Figure 1*.

DEBT PROCESS

A funding invitation document (investment teaser) has been finalised and distributed to various financial institutions for debt funding in the project. The Group has engaged ten commercial banks and two venture debt funds in a first market round, receiving predominantly positive initial feedback. Several of these institutions have expressed strong interest in participating in the financing. The Group is now in the process of shortlisting potential lenders to identify the most suitable financial partners for the project. To support a thorough due diligence process, a secure data room has been set up, providing detailed project information to interested financiers and ensuring full transparency. The DFS financial model has been adjusted to stress-test various funding scenarios tailored to the lending institutions ABG has engaged with. Further steps involve determining the most suitable banks to form a syndicate and appointing a lead bank to guide the lending process. This syndicate will play a crucial role in structuring the financing arrangement to meet the project's requirements.

EQUITY FUNDING

In addition to ongoing debt financing efforts, the Group has engaged several equity advisers to support the equity component of the project's funding package. As part of this strategy, the Altech Group plans to divest a minority interest in the project to one or two strategic investors. This partial divestment aims to attract investors who can bring not only capital, but also strategic value to the project, aligning with the CERENERGY(R) project's long-term growth and sustainability objectives.

The Group is specifically targeting large utility groups, data centre operators, investment funds and corporations that are heavily involved in the green energy transition. These entities are seen as ideal partners due to their strong alignment with the project's focus on sustainable energy solutions, as well as their capacity to provide substantial financial backing.

To date, significant progress has been made in these equity discussions. Several Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) have been signed, allowing for deeper engagement with prospective investors. Altech has also circulated draft term sheets to a number of interested parties, outlining the proposed terms and conditions for investment. These documents serve as a starting point for negotiations, paving the way for more detailed discussions regarding the potential equity stake and partnership structure.

The strategic decision to divest a portion of the project is aimed at reducing the overall financial burden on the Company while bringing in experienced partners who can contribute to the project's success. By securing both the equity and debt components, the Company aims to finalise the full financing package, ensuring the timely construction and commissioning of the CERENERGY(R) battery plant. The next steps will focus on advancing these discussions and converting interest into formal commitments, which are crucial for moving forward with the project.

OFFTAKE ARRANGEMENTS

On 13 September 24, Altech announced the execution of an Offtake Letter of Intent between Zweckverband Industriepark Schwarze Pumpe (ZISP) and Altech Batteries GmbH. Under this Offtake Letter of Intent (LOI), ZISP will purchase 30 MWh of energy storage capacity annually, consisting of 1MWh GridPacks, for the first five years of production. The price of these batteries has been agreed and aligns with the sales price contained within Altech's Definitive Feasibility Study. The purchase of these batteries is subject to performance tests, battery specifications and the batteries meeting customer requirements. This offtake LOI constitutes an important aspect of the financing process. This lays the foundation for additional offtake arrangements, which are currently in progress. These agreements are vital for advancing our financing and construction timelines for the CERENERGY(R) project.

CEO and MD Mr Iggy Tan stated "The funding stage of any project is the most complex and challenging process of any project. Securing a big four funding adviser with expertise and a global network is a major step in our financing efforts. Altech is advancing both debt and equity discussions, along with offtake agreements, to fully fund the CERENERGY(R) project. We are seeing strong interest, especially from European banks and potential equity partners".
