Exploration Program Commences At The Express Lithium Project

Recharge Metals Limited (ASX: REC, Recharge or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has embarked on an extensive generative exploration program at its 100% owned Express Lithium Project (the Project), located within the prolific James Bay Region of Québec, Canada.


Highlights

  • Generative exploration program commenced, designed to delineate outcropping pegmatites and potential pegmatite-bearing structures to be targeted in Recharge’s upcoming maiden field season
  • Spectral data analysis underway as well as the procurement and analysis of publicly available geophysical datasets
  • Targets to be assessed by the exploration team in the field with rock sampling program to commence in the Canadian summer
  • Highly respected consultants, Dahrouge Geological will provide boots on ground and conduct the field program
  • First time the Express Lithium Project has been explored for lithium mineralisation
  • Express Lithium Project is located in the heart of James Bay Region; 12km southeast of Allkem’s James Bay Deposit (ASX: AKE; 37.2Mt @ 1.3% Li2O)1 and 15km northeast of Cygnus Metals’ Pontax Lithium Project (ASX: CY5)
  • Recharge is well funded to support exploration activities over the next 12 months following the successful share placement raising A$3 million

Recharge’s Managing Director, Felicity Repacholi-Muir, commented:

“It is an exciting time for Recharge as we commence our generative exploration program at the Express Lithium Project, located in James Bay, an emerging world-class lithium province. Our team are focused on identifying prospective target areas for pegmatite hosted lithium mineralisation, ahead of getting boots on ground in the Canadian summer, followed by an anticipated drilling campaign later in the year.”

The Express Lithium Project covers a significant project area of 73.5km2 in the heart of the James Bay Region and is host to several known pegmatite outcrops2. The Express Lithium Project is located approximately 12km southeast of Allkem’s James Bay Deposit (ASX: AKE; 37.2Mt @ 1.3% Li2O), 15km northeast of Cygnus Metals’ Pontax Lithium Project (ASX: CY5) and is proximate to several other significant lithium deposits.3

Exploration Program

There has been no material lithium focused exploration work conducted to date on the Express Lithium Project. Recharge’s initial exploration program includes the review of all historical data, the commissioning of multispectral analysis, analysis of publicly available geophysical data and the probable acquisition of LiDAR and high resolution aerial imagery to assist with defining target areas ahead of the summer field campaign.

Analysis of multispectral data has commenced with the acquisition of ASTER and Sentinel-2 imagery to be interpreted by respected consultants Terra Resources. Certain bands in these images have been shown to correlate well with outcropping pegmatites, and it is anticipated that the interpretation will highlight areas for inspection and sampling.

Inside Billionaire Gina Rinehart's Key Mining Investments

Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart has become a formidable force in the global mining industry.

After taking the helm of her father’s iron ore firm Hancock Prospecting in 1993, she embarked upon a diversification strategy that has vastly expanded her resource empire. Now Australia’s richest person, Rinehart has investments in many of the world’s most strategic commodities such as lithium, rare earths, copper, potash and natural gas.

One of those investments is Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU,OTC Pink:ARAFF), which even in a low price environment for rare earths managed to secure nearly AU$1.5 billion in debt financing in mid-2024 to advance its Nolans project in the Northern Territory.

Lithium Africa CEO Makes Case for Lithium Investing Amid Bear Market

The CEO of Lithium Africa is making a case for investing in lithium during the current bear market, saying recent moves by major players such as Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) indicate confidence in the market's longer-term potential.

“(Rio Tinto) is the second biggest miner of commodities on the planet. And late last year, they did the Arcadium Lithium transaction, which is the second largest transaction in corporate history, and they've picked lithium," Tyron Breytenbach said during an interview with the Investing News Network.

"Shortly after that, they followed on with a big, multibillion-dollar investment in Chile. Again, the commodity they picked was lithium."

Rock Bottom: Strategic Window for Ground-level Lithium Investment in 2025

When lithium prices hit bottom, savvy investors know that’s exactly where the next big discovery begins — literally. Beneath the surface of global markets and remote exploration grounds, new opportunities are forming in the wake of a sharp price reset and renewed geopolitical urgency.

Macroeconomic and policy shifts in 2025 are creating ideal conditions for those willing to look past the headlines. While volatility in lithium prices has tempered short-term sentiment, the underlying demand trajectory remains strong. With governments reshaping supply chains to reduce reliance on China and accelerate the energy transition, lithium is emerging not only as a critical resource, but as a strategic investment theme with long-term upside.

For investors, this reset isn’t a retreat; it’s a rare chance to get in early, at ground level.
