TINONE SAMPLES UP TO 4.9% TIN AT THE ABERFOYLE PROJECT, AUSTRALIA

TINONE SAMPLES UP TO 4.9% TIN AT THE ABERFOYLE PROJECT, AUSTRALIA

(TSX-V: TORC)

TinOne Resources Inc. (TSXV: TORC) (" TinOne " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that its initial results from exploration work at the Aberfoyle Project (" Aberfoyle " or the " Project ") in Tasmania, Australia has delineated multiple extensive areas of tin anomalism in surface rock sampling and the Company is progressing toward integrated drill target definition.

Highlights
  • Initial field mapping and rock sampling has been completed at the Aberfoyle project with collection of one hundred and seventy-three surface rock samples.
  • Forty-four of the samples returned tin values greater than 0.1% and twenty-one samples over 0.25% with a peak value of 4.9% tin. These anomalous samples are distributed across a large area of the Project.
  • Field mapping and interpretation of detailed public-domain LIDAR elevation data has defined extensive areas of historical tin mining activity over areas larger than previously known.
  • Field mapping has defined alteration, brecciation and veining in granite and sedimentary host rocks over extensive areas with little to no modern exploration.
  • Structural field mapping and historical data compilation have provided insights into the controls on the historic Aberfoyle , Storeys Creek and Lutwyche mines that will greatly assist in future drill targeting.

"We are extremely encouraged by the progress of our drill targeting programs at Aberfoyle.  We have unearthed widespread areas of potential marked by tin anomalism, historical workings, extensive alteration, veining and brecciation in areas that have had little to no exploration work," commented Chris Donaldson , Executive Chairman. "Our ongoing programs will deliver a level of data and understanding that has never been seen before in the Project area that we anticipate will lead to quality targets for future drilling."

Drill Target Definition Program

TinOne has been active at the Aberfoyle project since listing, undertaking surface exploration work and compilation of historic mining and exploration data in order to define drill targets for future drill programs.

The Company has:

  • Undertaken field mapping, prospecting and rock sampling, guided by interpretation of areas of historical mining activity.  These historic areas have been shown to be more extensive than previous data indicated and the use of detailed LIDAR elevation data to guide field mapping has been invaluable;
  • Completed 8km 2 of gradient array IP-resistivity surveys;
  • Used expert-driven integrated structural and stratigraphic analysis to develop a detailed understanding of the controls on thickness and grade in historically mined areas;
  • Reprocessed public domain aeromagnetic and radiometric data; and,
  • Initiated a major program to compile detailed 3D mine and exploration data from the 20 th Century mining and exploration activity at the Aberfoyle , Storeys Creek, Lutwyche and Kookaburra deposits. The majority of this data has not been previously compiled in a full 3D environment and will greatly assist drill targeting.
Results

The Company collected 173 surface rock samples across a large extent of the northern block of EL 27/2004 (Figure 2). Forty-four of the samples returned tin values greater than 0.1% and twenty-one samples greater than 0.25% with a peak value of 4.9% tin.  Twelve samples returned tungsten values greater than 0.1% WO 3 with a peak value of 0.62% WO 3 .

Elevated tin was reported from across the full geographical extent of the area sampled and from a wide range of geological associations including quartz veins, greisen-altered granite, quartz-cemented breccia, and altered Mathinna Supergroup sediments.

The majority of these areas have had extremely limited exploration and large areas of historical workings, alteration and elevated tin (and lesser tungsten) have been returned from the Company's programs in areas that have seen no modern exploration.  Drilling has been largely confined to the area in the vicinity of the Aberfoyle-Storeys Creek-Lutwyche area (Figure 2).

Future Programs

The Company is planning follow up mapping, continuation of the 3D data compilation, finalization of the structural interpretation and extensive soil sampling programs to follow up the encouraging results reported here.

It is anticipated that these programs will lead to definition of integrated drill targets that, dependent on actual results and priorities, may be drilled during Q4 2022.

About the Aberfoyle Tin Project
Geology

The Aberfoyle project area straddles the boundary between the Silurian to Devonian Mathinna Supergroup sedimentary rocks and the Devonian Ben Lomond Granite. The historic Aberfoyle (tin) and Storeys Creek (tin-tungsten) mines as well as other vein systems are hosted in the sedimentary rocks and occur as strike extensive systems of sheeted and stockwork veining.

The Lutwyche prospect occurs approximately 1 kilometre northeast of Aberfoyle and is comprised of two sets of mineralised veins which can be traced along strike for approximately 750 metres.

An additional sediment-hosted vein system, the Kookaburra, is located 200 metres southwest of the main Lutwyche vein system and is known to be approximately 40 metres wide with an along strike extent of at least several hundred metres.

Mineralisation at Storeys Creek is hosted within a 30 to 50 metre wide, north-northwest striking sheeted vein array which dips to the southwest.  The system can be traced along strike for 300 metres and extends 400 metres down dip. The Ben Lomond Granite crops out approximately 1km west of the mine and has been identified at depth at 180 metres below the surface. Additional poorly known sediment-hosted vein systems occur at Brocks, Eastern Hill and elsewhere in the tenement.

Granite-hosted occurrences are developed throughout the exposed areas of granitoid outcrop and consist of vein, disseminated and breccia style occurrences with associated greisen style alteration.  These have given rise to historic small scale hard rock and more extensive alluvial production in the Gipps Creek, Rex Hill , Ben Lomond , Royal George and other areas.

The Company interprets that both sediment- and granite-hosted systems have developed in structural corridors of multi-kilometre extent and that historic exploration has not systematically explored these corridors.  The Company further believes systematic exploration of these prospective corridors will result in the definition of high-quality drill targets.

Historic Production and Exploration

Tin mineralisation was discovered at Storeys Creek in 1872 and Aberfoyle in 1916, with the deposits seeing sporadic exploration and mining activities until closure in the early 1980s.  Additional small-scale production occurred at the Royal George deposit in the southern block of EL27/2004. Exploration work was conducted during the mining phases and sporadic exploration has been conducted since that time with an emphasis on the immediate extensions of the Aberfoyle , Lutwyche and Storeys Creek areas.  Historic exploration (early 1980s and earlier) consisted of drilling, geological mapping, rock sampling, minor soil sampling and very limited electrical geophysics using the technology available at the time. More recent exploration (1990s until present) has consisted of minor soil sampling and limited drilling at the Aberfoyle , Storeys Creek and Rifle Range (northern part of Lutwyche) prospects.

Drilling has been concentrated in the immediate vicinity of historic mines with minimal drilling conducted away from the historic mine infrastructure. TinOne considers that extensive areas of known systems have had little or no systematic exploration.

Altech Batteries Ltd  CERENERGY Battery Prototype Reaches Key Milestones

Altech Batteries Ltd CERENERGY Battery Prototype Reaches Key Milestones

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC,OTC:ALTHF) (FRA:A3Y) (OTCMKTS:ALTHF) is pleased to announce the latest performance results of the CERENERGY(R) cell and battery pack prototypes. These results confirm the technological maturity and robustness of the CERENERGY(R) technology and mark another decisive step towards industrialisation.

Highlights

- 650+ cycles with no capacity loss, proving exceptional material stability and long operational lifespan compared to conventional batteries

- Near 100% Coulombic efficiency, confirming minimal side reactions and strong intrinsic safety of sodium nickel chloride chemistry

- High energy efficiency of up to 92%, surpassing typical 70-80% levels of competing battery technologies

- Proven safety under extreme conditions - cells remained stable during overcharge, deep discharge, and thermal cycling up to 300 degC with no gassing, leakage, or rupture

- Robust and reliable chemistry - sodium nickel chloride avoids flammable electrolytes and runaway risks, confirming suitability for safe, large-scale grid and renewable energy storage

- ABS60 prototype validated under real-world conditions -tested across diverse load profiles, high-current pulses up to 50 A, and thermal variations

- Stable, efficient performance - achieved ~88% round-trip efficiency with no observable capacity fade over 110+ cycles

CELL PERFORMANCE

The CERENERGY(R) prototype cells have successfully completed over 650 charge-discharge cycles without any detectable capacity loss. Cycle life is a critical measure of battery durability, as most conventional batteries experience gradual degradation with every cycle. Achieving such performance highlights the outstanding stability of the materials and points to the potential for a long operational lifespan.

For stationary energy storage systems (ESS), this translates into fewer battery replacements, lower lifetime operating costs, and greater reliability for end users.

The cells also delivered nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency alongside an energy efficiency of up to 92% across 650 cycles. Coulombic efficiency reflects the proportion of charge recovered during discharge relative to what was supplied during charging. A value approaching 100% indicates minimal side reactions or parasitic losses, confirming the intrinsic stability and safety of sodium nickel chloride chemistry. This high efficiency demonstrates that the cells are not expending energy on unwanted processes such as electrode degradation. Such performance is vital for scalability, ensuring reliable, longterm operation in commercial energy storage applications.

Energy efficiency represents the proportion of energy delivered relative to the energy supplied. Competing technologies, including conventional high-temperature batteries and many flow batteries, typically achieve only around 70-80%. By reaching 92%, CERENERGY(R) positions itself in a highly competitive class, offering more cost-effective energy storage, stronger economics for grid operators, and seamless compatibility with the requirements of renewable energy integration.

The cells achieved a nominal capacity of 100 Ah and 250 Wh, with reliable performance even at higher discharge rates. A key feature is their ability to support multiple daily charge-discharge cycles within the 20-80% state of charge (SoC) range at 25 A. This capability positions CERENERGY(R) as a highly flexible solution for grid operators and energy storage providers, enabling cost-efficient, long-life performance in applications that demand frequent cycling such as renewable integration, peak shaving, and backup power.

CERENERGY(R) prototype cells underwent rigorous abuse testing, including overcharge to 4 V, deep discharge to 0.2 V, and thermal cycling between room temperature and 300 degC. In all cases, the cells remained stable with no gassing, leakage, or rupture -clear proof of their outstanding safety. These results highlight the intrinsic stability of sodium nickel chloride chemistry, which avoids the flammable electrolytes and runaway risks common in lithium-ion batteries. The ability to withstand extreme electrical and thermal stress demonstrates CERENERGY(R)'s robustness and confirms its suitability for safe, largescale deployment in grid, renewable, and industrial energy storage applications. This was achieved over 3 cycles with 1.8 Full Charge Equivalent (FCE) into 22 hours.

BATTERY PACK ABS60 (60 kWh) PROTOTYPE

The first ABS60 battery pack prototype has been successfully validated under real-world operating conditions, marking a major step forward in product readiness. Testing included diverse load profiles,

continuous discharges at 25 A (equivalent to C-rate of C/4 (discharges in 4 hours), or one-quarter of the pack's rated capacity per hour) at 80% depth of discharge (DoD), short-duration high-current pulses up to 50 A, and carefully controlled thermal variations.

The pack consistently demonstrated stable performance, achieving ~88% round-trip efficiency while maintaining reliable thermal management. Efficiency refers to the proportion of input energy that can be retrieved during operation-a critical measure of economic viability for large-scale storage. Over more than 110 cycles, results showed no observable capacity fading and only a slight increase in internal resistance. Capacity fading refers to the gradual decline in usable energy over repeated cycles, while internal resistance influences power delivery and heat generation.

The absence of meaningful degradation confirms the durability and electrochemical stability of the ABS60 design. These outcomes are highly significant as they demonstrate that the pack can withstand real-world duty cycles while retaining performance and efficiency, translating into longer service life, fewer replacements, and lower total cost of ownership.

For grid operators and renewable integration projects, this combination of robust cycling capability, efficiency, and thermal stability underscores the ABS60's commercial readiness and competitive advantage in the stationary energy storage market.

These results are a strong confirmation of CERENERGY(R)'s technological leadership and a clear signal of the technology's competitiveness and robustness for future applications in energy storage and industrial markets.

Group Managing Director, Iggy Tan said "These results confirm CERENERGY(R)'s robustness and readiness for market adoption. Demonstrating long cycle life, high efficiency, and unmatched safety, we are now strongly positioned to deliver a competitive and sustainable alternative for grid and industrial energy storage."
