Further Step-Out Success at Seymour

Green Technology Metals Limited (ASX: GT1) (GT1 or the Company) is pleased to provide an update from the recommenced diamond drilling activity at its Seymour Lithium Project in Ontario, Canada.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Diamond drilling recommenced at the North Aubry deposit (Seymour Lithium Project) in June.
  • First completed hole (GTDD-22-0323) returned 17.9m spodumene bearing pegmatite from 218m; assays pending.
  • Intersection considerably thicker than modelled and potentially significantly increases the mineralised volumes in this targeted strike extension of North Aubry.
  • Second completed hole (GTDD-22-0128), down-dip of GTDD-22-0323; returned 18.6m spodumene bearing pegmatite from 312m, plus a further 6.41m pegmatite interval 60m above main zone.
  • Additional step-out drilling at North Aubry set to target further northerly strike extension, along with accompanying down-dip extensional opportunities.
  • Next planned drillhole at North Aubry sited approximately 100m north-west of GTDD-22-0323.
  • Diamond drilling of key targets at Pye prospect (Seymour) is expected to recommence next week.

“We are off to a great start with the resumption of drilling at Seymour following the winter thaw period. The first step-out hole at North Aubry has intersected a significant spodumene bearing pegmatite interval, which was considerably thicker than we had modelled. This is expected to significantly increase the mineralised volumes in this targeted strike extension and deliver growth in our recently released interim Mineral Resource estimate at Seymour.

“We are set to continue stepping out to the north at North Aubry, targeting further strike extension of the North Aubry deposit in this direction. The potential of the deposit in this area, both along strike and down-dip, remains a big opportunity in terms of significant further high-grade resource growth.

"We are also on track to recommence drilling at the Pye prospect in the coming days. The geology at Pye remains a huge prospect for us and we are looking forward to advancing our systematic target drilling of this zone.

Further significant step-out intercepts at North Aubry

Diamond drilling recommenced at the North Aubry deposit of GT1’s flagship Seymour Project in early June. The focus of current drilling at North Aubry is further growing the recently updated Mineral Resource estimate along strike to the north along with further depth extensions.

Since drilling recommencement at North Aubry, two holes have been completed, GTDD-22-0323 and GTDD-22-0128.

Hole GTDD-22-0323, which steps out 60 metres northwest of the nearest previous hole, intersected 17.9m of spodumene-bearing pegmatite from 218.0m downhole.

This intersection was considerably thicker than modelled and significantly increases the projected mineralised volumes in this targeted strike extension of the North Aubry deposit.

The information in this announcement in respect of holes GTDD-22-0323 and GTDD-22-0128 is based solely on a visual inspection of the core samples. The assay and analysis of the core samples are pending. In relation to the disclosure of visual intersections of pegmatite, the Company cautions that visual intersections of pegmatite should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to confirm the widths and grade of visual intersections of pegmatite reported in the preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available, which is currently expected to be around the end of August 2022 in respect of GTDD-22-0323 and GTDD-22-0128.

Expert: African Lithium Key to China's Battery Supply Chain Dominance

With the global shift to electric vehicles (EVs) accelerating, China is cementing its dominance over the lithium supply chain by pouring investment into African mines, creating a new center of gravity for the battery metal.

Speaking at a recent industry conference, Claudia Cook of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence offered a sweeping assessment of how China is reshaping global lithium flows and why Africa will be crucial in the next decade.

Cook laid out in detail how China’s lithium strategy is evolving. As the world’s largest EV market, China needs a consistent, low-cost supply of lithium — but its domestic production is increasingly insufficient.

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. With a 10 percent equity stake, Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting is Arafura's largest shareholder.

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.
