Further Drilling Indicates Potential To Grow Bitterwasser Lithium Resource

Arcadia Minerals Ltd (ASX:AM7, FRA:8OH) (Arcadia or the Company), the diversified exploration company targeting a suite of projects aimed at Tantalum, Lithium, Nickel, Copper and Gold in Namibia, is pleased to announce the commencement of further drilling at its Bitterwasser Lithium-in-Clay Project and to report that similar lithology to that of the Eden Pan, where a Lithium JORC resource has previously been defined2, has been intersected in the first drill hole at the Madube Pan.

HIGHLIGHTS

 
  • Drilling commenced over additional exposed clay pans at Bitterwasser, with the first hole at the Madube Pan (one of fourteen pans) intersecting similar lithology to the drilled Eden Lithium Pan
  • Current JORC Mineral Resource defined over the Eden Lithium Pan of 286,909t Li2CO3 (LCE)1
  • First auger hole at Madube Pan intersected lithological units similar to Eden Lithium Pan
  • Initial observations confirm that green clay units (which contained high lithium grades at Eden Lithium Pan) were intersected at Madube
  • From the first auger hole at the Madube Pan green clay units were observed to be 44% thicker than the widest intercept of similar lithology at the Eden Lithium Pan
  • Drilling to continue over the Madube Pan, as well as other pans until the end of November
Philip le Roux, the CEO of Arcadia stated: “It is very encouraging that, from observations of the core of our first auger hole at the Madube Pan, the lithology and thicknesses are comparable to those intersected at the Lithium enriched Eden Pan, where Arcadia has recently increased the Lithium-in-Clay resource over the Bitterwasser Pans district. Should analyses confirm Lithium mineralisation to a similar tenor than what we saw at the Eden Lithium Pan, we’d expect to see an increase of the current JORC resource over the Bitterwasser Lithium-in-Clay Project. Drilling at the Madube Pan will be followed up by further drilling at other known exposed, progress of which will be communicated regularly.”

Similar Lithology Intersected at Madube Pan to that of Eden Pan

The Company has continued its exploration activities on the clay deposits at the Bitterwasser Lithium Clay Project. Previously, drilling only took place over the Eden pan, which resulted in a JORC1 Mineral Resource being defined of 286,909-ton Lithium Carbonate wholly classified in the Inferred Category.

Top 5 Canadian Lithium Stocks of 2025

As the global push toward electrification accelerates, lithium remains a critical piece of the energy transition.

Continued oversupply remained a persistent headwind for lithium prices through the first half of 2025. Demand for the battery metal jumped 29 percent year-over-year in 2024, fueled by surging electric vehicle sales and rising power needs from sectors like data centers and heavy industry.

Fastmarket’s analysts expect lithium demand to grow 12 percent annually through 2030, supported by structural trends such as renewable energy integration and battery energy storage.

Top 3 US Lithium Stocks of 2025

As the global economy shifts toward electrification and clean energy, lithium has emerged as a cornerstone of the energy transition, and the US is racing to secure its place in the supply chain.

Lithium-ion batteries are no longer just critical to electric vehicles (EVs); they're becoming vital across sectors to stabilize power systems, particularly amid growing reliance on intermittent renewables.

According to Fastmarkets, demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) is accelerating, driven by data centers, which have seen electricity consumption grow 12 percent annually since 2017.

Lithium Market Update: Q2 2025 in Review

The second quarter of 2025 brought more downward pressure for lithium prices, as values for lithium carbonate continued to contract, slipping to their lowest level since January 2021.

After starting the year at US$10,484.37 per metric ton, battery-grade lithium carbonate rose to a year-to-date high of US$10,853.85 on January 27. Prices sank through Q1 and most of Q2, bottoming at US$8,329.08 on June 24.

Ekin Ober on Why AI Could Be Mining’s Most Valuable Tool Yet

For Ekin Ober, bringing generative artificial intelligence (AI) to the critical metals sector through her work at Aethos Labs wasn’t just about technological innovation — it reshaped how she thinks about strategy and sustainability in mining.

Now a principal at Kinterra Capital, Ober applies that broad, cross-disciplinary lens to investment decisions, emphasizing the importance of digital fluency, stakeholder alignment and long-term viability.

Her experience helps her identify operational bottlenecks and social license challenges early — essential in guiding assets like nickel and copper projects from concept to production.
