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.”

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.
