Highlights
• Significant assay results returned from drilling program at Falcon Lake Lithium
Project in Canada, with drilling continuing to delineate shallow, high-grade
mineralisation.
• Significant intercepts include:
o 31.75 metres @ 1.45% Li2O from 14.46m down-hole, including:
▪ 14m @ 1.70% Li2O (23FL-031)
o 14.7 metres @ 1.50% Li2O from 3.7m down-hole, including:
▪ 10m @ 1.81% Li2O (23FL-030)
o 13.35 metres @ 1.50% Li2O from 5.4m down-hole, including:
▪ 5m @ 1.83% Li2O (23FL-024)
o 11.45 metres @ 1.33% Li2O from 22.05m down-hole, including:
▪ 4m @ 1.93% Li2O (23FL-020)
o 8.65 metres @ 2.04% Li2O from 3.6m down-hole: (23FL-018)
• Previously reported intercept from 23FL-005 extended:
o 29.75 metres @ 0.81% Li2O from 29.75m down-hole, including:
▪ 23m @ 1.00% Li2O (23FL-005)
• Results continue to demonstrate the presence of significant pegmatite-hosted
spodumene mineralisation at Falcon Lake, building on recently released maiden
assay results including:
o 27.6 metres @ 1.37% Li2O from 16.65m down-hole in 23FL-001
• Additional drilling is now being planned across the 5km of prospective
mineralisation based on the highly successful summer fieldwork programme
which is still ongoing at site.
Battery Age Minerals Ltd (ASX: BM8; “Battery Age” or “the Company”) is pleased to report
highly encouraging assay results from its drilling campaign at the Falcon Lake Lithium
Project in Ontario, Canada. The latest batch of assays continues to confirm the presence of
significant shallow mineralisation in a further 15 holes that have now been laboratory tested.
These holes all intersected significant grades of spodumene mineralisation, building on the
previously reported initial assay results as announced on the 26th of July.

Figure 3 – Drill Collar Location Map – Falcon West
To date 57 holes for 6462m has been drilled with assays received for 38 holes. A further 19
holes are currently awaiting assay.
It is expected that assays for subsequent holes will be available within 6-8 weeks, in
accordance with expected turnaround timeframes from the laboratory.
Battery Age Managing Director Gerard O’Donovan commented:
“We are very pleased with the follow-up assay results from our second batch of diamond holes
at Falcon Lake. These results continue to confirm that we have significant mineralisation
across many holes and in multiple locations across the property.
“We are also excited about the high-priority targets that have been generated for the drill rig
as part of the summer fieldwork programme which is ongoing at site”.
“This fieldwork has given us a fantastic platform to continue drilling during the winter months
across the 5km of mineralised corridor, building further on these recent discoveries.
“This will enable us to continue defining the scale of mineralisation at Falcon Main.”

Drilling Continuation
Following on from the recent successful capital raising and outstanding results generated by
the ongoing summer fieldwork prospecting campaign, the Company will continue drilling
through the winter months to test the significant pipeline of high priority targets it has
identified across the 5km of mineralisation.
Further field exploration work is ongoing including geochemical sampling and ground
magnetic surveys. Following the completion and collation of this data set the Company will
be able to further refine priority targets and will update the market accordingly as the drilling
strategy is developed.
Drilling to date has been mainly focussed in and around the historical lithium occurrences
Falcon West, Discovery & East but with collated summer fieldwork data and ongoing
geological interpretation work which is currently underway new areas will be tested across
the 5km of Falcon Main. The Company will continue to keep the market updated as further
assay results become available.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria
Sampling
techniques
JORC Code explanation
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple
(eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more explanation
may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, openhole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).
• Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and

This is a preliminary drilling
campaign and therefore
suitable spacing and
distribution to establish the
degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate
for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation is
yet to be determined.
• Drilling has been in order to
sample across the strike of
the mineralisation, based on
surface mapping and limited
historical drilling. However,
as this drilling is preliminary,
further drilling is required to
determine the orientation of
mineralisation in this area.
• At all times samples were in
the custody and control of
the Company’s
representatives until delivery
to the laboratory where
samples are held in a secure
enclosure pending
processing.

o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain
why this is the case.
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole
length, true width not known’).
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
