Wide Zones Of Strong Lithium Mineralisation Intercepted Near Surface In First Holes At Falcon Lake

Maiden drill campaign off to a positive start with expedited assays returning multiple +20m high grade intercepts and continued visual intercepts of mineralised pegmatites.

Battery Age Minerals Ltd (ASX: BM8; “Battery Age” or “the Company”) is pleased to report initial assay results have been returned from its maiden drilling campaign at the Falcon Lake Lithium Project in Ontario, Canada. The initial batch of assays have confirmed significant shallow mineralisation across the first four holes that have been laboratory tested.


Highlights

  • Expedited assay results received from the maiden drill program at Falcon Lake, confirming significant shallow lithium mineralisation in the first four holes.
  • Significant intercepts include:
    • 27.6 metres @ 1.37% Li2O from 16.65m down-hole
      • With internal highs of 15m @ 1.65% Li2O (23FL-001)
    • 21.92 metres @ 1.44% Li2O from 5.7m down-hole
      • With internal highs of 15m @ 1.71% Li2O (23FL-004)
    • 26 metres @ 1.00% Li2O from 46.3m down-hole1
      • With internal highs of 4m @ 1.89% Li2O (23FL-005)
    • 8.7 metres @ 1.24% Li2O from 7.5m (23FL-002)
      • With internal highs of 5m @ 1.63% Li2O (23FL-002)
  • Results confirm the presence of significant pegmatite-hosted spodumene mineralisation at Falcon Lake, building on historic intercepts including:
    • 24.4 metres @ 1.43% Li2O including 10.9 metres @ 1.95% Li2O (FLDD006).
  • 26 holes for 2,693m have been completed to date in the maiden ~5,000 metre drill programme, with assays pending for 17 holes.
  • Visual mineralisation2 has been observed in 22 of the 26 holes drilled to date with mineralised estimates up to 25% spodumene content.
These holes all intersected significant widths and grades of spodumene mineralisation at Falcon Lake, validating previously reported visual observations as announced on the 4th of July.

All holes for which laboratory assays have been returned contain significant lithium mineralisation with composite highs of 1.44% Li2O over 21.92m in hole 23FL-004 and internal highs of up to 1.89% Li2O in hole 23FL-005.

The Company has also continued to have success in its drilling campaign with a further 12 holes beyond those reported in ASX Announcement “Spodumene bearing pegmatites up to 27.6m in width intersected from surface at Falcon Lake” reported on the 4th of July intersecting mineralised pegmatites with visual mineralisation estimates ranging from 5% to 25%.

Drilling continues in Falcon West as the Company continues to determine scale and geometry of ore bodies in this area.

Battery Age CEO Gerard O’Donovan commented:

“We are delighted with the results from the first batch of diamond holes at Falcon Lake. These results confirm that we have significant mineralisation across a number of holes. Coupled with these assays, our subsequent holes have continued to intersect mineralisation with visible spodumene of varying percentages. We look forward to sending these to the lab for testing to verify the level of mineralisation.”

“The maiden drilling represents the first step in a phased approach at Falcon Lake and it is fantastic to have generated some outstanding results to begin with. The second phase which will run in parallel to drilling includes our field exploration campaign. This will commence in the near term, and we are confident it will generate more high-priority targets for the drill rig as we move across the property”.

“Based on these results, we will consider an expansion of the maiden program beyond initial planned metres to ensure we progress the project at pace.”

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.

Chris Berry: The West Must Invest in Refinement Now or Fall Further Behind

China’s grip on the battery metals sector has drawn increasing scrutiny in recent years as nations confront growing concerns around supply chain risk and resource security.

Through a blend of domestic output and aggressive overseas investment, particularly in Africa and South America, Chinese companies now command a significant share of upstream supply.

The country is responsible for roughly 60 percent of global rare earths production and controls over 70 percent of cobalt supply through its stakes in mines across the Democratic Republic of Congo.
