Exceptional Assay Results Returned from
Falcon Lake Lithium Project
Significant Assays Returned from New Discoveries at Falcon Lake Project,
Expanding Mineralisation and Enhancing Prospectivity
Highlights
• Exceptional Drill Results: Recent assays from the Falcon Lake Lithium Project have
delivered impressive results, with significant intercepts including 28.25m @ 1.30% Li2O
and 18.40m @ 1.88% Li2O.
• Expansion of Mineralisation: The new drilling has expanded the mineralised zones,
particularly at the Falcon Little Lake target, demonstrating the potential for scale across
the 5km prospective corridor.
• Significant intercepts include:
o 28.25 metres @ 1.30% Li2O from 53.9m down-hole, 24FL-087
Including 5.45m @ 2.03% Li2O.
o 23.30 metres @ 1.13% Li2O from 88.7m down-hole, 24FL-087
o 24.90 metres @ 1.34% Li2O from 18.95m down-hole, 24FL-098
Including 5.8m @ 1.98% Li2O.
o 18.40 metres @ 1.88% Li2O from 55.00m down-hole, 24FL-100
Including 5.0m @ 2.44% Li2O.
o 25.60 metres @ 0.93% Li2O from 57.50m down-hole, 24FL-102
Including 11.95m @ 1.32% Li2O.
• Enhanced Prospectivity: The strong assay results from the summer program validate
the company's exploration strategy and set the stage for future works.
Battery Age Minerals Ltd (ASX: BM8; “Battery Age” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce
the initial assays from the 2024 summer drilling program at its Falcon Lake Lithium Project in
Ontario, Canada. The mineralised drill intercepts confirm the potential for new discoveries, with
spodumene-bearing pegmatite up to 40m thick, intersected during the maiden drill program at
the Falcon Little Lake target and an expanded strike length at the Falcon East Extension,
adding to the mineralisation drilled in 2023 at Falcon East.
Seven holes have been completed at the Falcon Little Lake pegmatite target, with six holes
intersected significant mineralisation (Appendix 1, Table 1). The three drill holes testing the
SSE extension of this target show thickening of the mineralised body along strike and at depth.
The 2023 geophysical survey indicates a magnetic low to the south, in line with the pegmatite
bodies, and enhancing the prospectivity of this southern extension.

The Falcon Little Lake spodumene-bearing pegmatite is open in all directions. With the return
of high assay values from 6 of 7 holes drilled at the new discovery. The spodumene lobe drilled
in hole 24FL-105, is the deepest and furthest SSE mineralisation drilled on the property to date
and has been targeted at the north end of the magnetic low. Assays increased to the SSE and
at depth with 7.5m of 1.58% Li2O from 121.5m to 129.00m in hole 24FL-105.

Table 1 – 2024 Falcon Lake Drilling results. Intervals are down hole length, true width not known.
The Falcon East Extension was discovered and drilled in the winter of 2023. A further seven
holes tested the down dip extension of the mineralisation at the start of the 2024 summer
program. Results are extremely positive with a cumulative total of 59.80m of strongly
mineralised pegmatites intersected by hole 24FL-087 and a cumulative total of 30.55m in
24FL-088. Further results including spodumene mineralisation in 5 of the 6 holes confirm the
potential for this target to grow along strike and to the south, Appendix 1, Table 1.

The 2024 summer drilling program at the Falcon Lake Lithium Project is targeting several, of
the 30 high-priority pegmatite discoveries from the 2023 field program and expands on the
9,200m, of drilling conducted in 2023.
Figure 4 – Core box containing spodumene grading 1.88% Li2O in hole 24FL-100, Falcon Little Lake (refer to
Appendix 1, Table 1, significant intercept table).
Battery Age CEO, Nigel Broomham, commented:
"We are thrilled with the exceptional results from our latest drilling program at the Falcon Lake
Lithium Project. The significant intercepts, including 28.25 meters at 1.30% Li2O and 18.40
meters at 1.88% Li2O, underscore the high potential of our discoveries. The expansion of
mineralisation at both the Falcon Little Lake and Falcon East Extension targets demonstrates
the potential scale of this system across the 5km corridor.
The successful assays from our summer program validate our exploration strategy and provide
a solid foundation for our upcoming drilling activities. With mineralisation extending in all
directions and promising new targets identified, we are confident in our ability to continue
making significant progress and uncovering further value for our shareholders."

(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.

program.
• Diamond core sample
intervals are logged for
lithology, structural and
geotechnical information,
measured, photographed,
and placed into numbered
trays prior to sampling.
• Core has been sampled on
nominal ~1m intervals (0.80
– 1.20m) where possible
unless geological boundaries
dictate otherwise.
• Geological boundaries have
not been crossed by sample
intervals.
• ½ core samples have been
split by core saw, collected,
and submitted for analysis to

• The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling
is representative of the in situ material

• All holes are NQ diamond
drill holes.
• A Gyro based system has
been used for both rig
alignment and downhole
measurements on all holes.
• All core is depth marked and
oriented to check against
drillers measurements
(blocks), ensuring that all
core loss is considered.
Diamond core recovery is
recorded into the database.
• No significant core loss has
been observed to date.
• All drill cores have been
geologically logged.
• Geological logging is
completed for all holes, and it
is representative.
• The lithology, alteration,
geotechnical and structural
characteristics of drill
samples are logged following
standard procedures and
using standardised
geological codes.
• Logging is both qualitative
and quantitative depending
on field being logged.
• All drill-holes are logged in
full.
• All drill core are digitally
photographed and stored.
• All core has been cut and
sampled at the core
processing facility in
Armstrong, Ontario.
• NQ core was split by saw in
half, always using the same
half for sampling purposes.
• Duplicate sampling is carried
out routinely throughout the
drilling campaign in line with
QAQC procedure. The
laboratory will carry out
routine internal repeat
assays on crushed samples.
• Considering the grain size,
half core NQ samples are
believed to be a
representative of the sample.

Commentary
Samples have been
submitted to AGAT
laboratories.
AGAT is an internationally
certified independent
service provider. Industry
standard assay quality
control techniques will be
used for lithium related
elements.
Samples are submitted for
multi-element ICP analysis
Sodium Peroxide Fusion is
used followed by combined
ICP-OES and ICP-MS
analyses (58 elements).
No verification of sampling
and assaying have been
completed by BM8 to date.
Selected sample results
which are considered to be
significant will be subjected
to resampling by the
company in the future.
The drill hole collar positions
in Appendix. 1 have been
located by handheld GPS.
On completion of drilling
program, collar positions will
be located by digital GPS
and reports updated
accordingly.
The grid datum is NAD83
Zone 16N.
Downhole surveys have
been collected approx. every
30m utilizing gyro tool.
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 carried out
in order to sample across the
strike of the mineralisation,
based on surface mapping
