Upgraded JORC Useful resource- Francisco Basin Li Venture
Drilling marketing campaign highlights:
1. Notable lithium intercepts:
· Notable intervals from the subsequent 2 widely-spaced sonic core holes proceed to be encouraging and embody:
o 88.70m @ 903ppm Li in gap BES23-11, together with 12.51m @ 1,427ppm,
o 75.12m @ 983ppm Li in gap BES23-12, together with 27.6m @ 1,339ppm. See Desk 1 for highlighted outcomes.
2. Excessive-grade unit
· The high-grade unit beforehand present in Basin East (“BE”) has comparable grades and maintains sturdy continuity throughout all of BEE and now confirmed into BN, seemingly extending into BW.
· That is optimistic for any future mining operation because the high-grade unit sits within the higher clay unit which types the shallowest a part of the deposit and cropping out at BE.
· The assay outcomes proceed to detect excessive ranges of molybdenum related to these two drill holes throughout the high-grade unit equivalent to 289ppm Mo over 8.84m in BES23-11 inside 21.04m of 167ppm and 15.56m of 148 I BES23-12. An in depth XRD evaluation of the Basin core is below building with the intent of figuring out the mineralogy related to excessive grade lithium and molybdenum.
3. Useful resource Enlargement:
· The primary gap in Basin North encountered an intercept of 86.12m of higher clay, which may be very promising for additional useful resource growth into Basin North.
· The outstanding continuity and consistency of the lithium intercepts within the higher clay recommend the presence of intensive lithium mineralisation all through the challenge space, indicating the potential for a sizeable lithium deposit.
· Bradda is focusing on a +1Mt lithium carbonate equal (LCE) Useful resource this 12 months, which might set off the subsequent royalty fee of US$2.5m from LRC.
4. Additional Exploration Potential:
· The lithium-clay mineralisation stays open to the west and north, indicating additional useful resource upside, as backed up by the beforehand reported 1Mt to 6Mt LCE JORC-compliant Exploration Goal recognized by SRK.
· The entire higher clay unit is 78.40m in width on common in BEE and the primary gap into BN intercepted 86.11m of higher clay. To place that in context, the typical thickness of the higher clay unit at BE is 34.00m in all of the earlier 34 holes that intercepted higher clay within the final 3 drill programmes (2018, 2021 and 2022). See Cross-section Figures 3 and 4.
· Useful resource estimation work is now underway to provide an up to date Mineral Useful resource Estimate, with SRK incorporating this new drill knowledge.
· The latest drill outcomes on BEE and BN solidify Bradda’s perception in a widespread and steady lithium-rich stratigraphic sequence with potential additional into BN and throughout to BW that the Firm believes will result in vital useful resource progress and alternative to change into a Tier 1 deposit.
Charles FitzRoy, CEO of Bradda Head Lithium, commented:
“We’re excited concerning the potential for vital growth of the useful resource on the Basin Venture. These newest assays solidify the useful resource growth potential at Basin and the high-grade lithium intercepts encountered within the latest drilling marketing campaign exhibit the distinctive potential of the challenge and underscore its significance as a possible strategic lithium asset.
“The 2023 drilling programme on the Basin Venture is focussed on additional increasing the useful resource base, delineating further lithium-rich zones, and is working with SRK to launch an up to date MRE. Gap 14 is the primary gap into BN and confirms the presence of the higher clay unit.
“The Firm has now kicked off its Part 3 drill programme at its 31km2 San Domingo pegmatite district in Arizona, with the principle purpose to delineate a Useful resource and likewise to construct on the promising outcomes of the maiden drill programme which completed earlier this 12 months.”

Background
The profitable 2022 drilling at BE led to BHL allowing holes on BEE, then mobilising a sonic drill rig to drill as much as 25 holes within the Firm’s BEE State Lease (see PR dated 16 March 2023).
The 2022 sonic drilling at BE examined c.1.4km2 of the general c.46km2 property, together with Wikieup.
Preliminary outcomes launched on 23 Might 2023 at Basin demonstrated the presence of a whole clay sequence throughout the Burro Creek, which is absent at BE attributable to various ranges of abrasion and basin margin thinning. The dramatically constant sedimentary sequences over BEE and into BN demonstrates the potential for vital useful resource growth throughout the 2.5km2 BEE Mineral Exploration Allow (MEP) and southern portion of the two.6km2 BN declare. Bradda’s present compliant Useful resource is positioned primarily within the 1.5km2 BE state MEP.
The Higher Clay sequence, now confirmed to thicken to the west, northwest, and north extent of the beforehand drilled space in the direction of and into Bradda’s BEE declare, may doubtlessly kind a part of a phased mining operation. This might be mined early within the mine plan as a high-grade lithium zone sits within the higher half of the present useful resource.
Holes BES-23-05 to 10 (the primary drill holes ever drilled by BHL to the north of the creek, see Determine 1), encountered a totally intact higher and decrease clay sequence preserved by a basalt layer, signifying the continuation of lithium bearing clays throughout to BEE from BE and now confirmed into BN with the completion of gap BES-23-14. See Figures 1,3 & 4 for cross-sections.
BHL launched an up to date MRE in January this 12 months (see PR dated 16 January 2023), which was the 2nd MRE that BHL has launched in 18 months since Itemizing on AIM in July 2021.
BHL obtained drill gap permits for 120 websites on the MEP from the State of Arizona at BEE in 2022 and 10 holes on its BN Claims (BLM-administered lands), which is the place sonic drilling commenced in late March of this 12 months and was accomplished on 10 August.
Bradda Head is within the strategy of allowing exploratory drilling at its BW and Basin West Extension (“BWE”) claims via an Exploration Plan of Operations, a process with the BLM.
Bradda is focusing on to develop its Useful resource at its Basin challenge this 12 months with the drill programmes at BEE and BN. Bradda has two royalty funds due via growth of its clay assets (see PR dated 22 December 2021). The following fee of US$2.5 million might be paid to Bradda by increasing its useful resource base to 1Mt LCE, after which the third fee of US$3 million is achieved when Bradda expands its useful resource base to 2.5Mt LCE.
Bradda is working with its geologists to hit these targets as quickly as is possible with the programmes talked about above and the deliberate programmes in 2024 at Basin West and Basin West Extension.

QAQC, Pattern Preparation
All core samples have been break up in half, bagged on web site, numbered in depth sequence with licensed requirements added into the pattern stream for high quality management. Luggage had been stored below lock and key previous to their direct cargo to ISO-certified laboratory, SGS, in Burnaby, BC, Canada. Samples had been weighed, dried, crushed, then break up by rotary conference and positioned into 250gram envelopes. The samples had been then pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns, then analysed by 4-acid digest, ICP-AES / ICP-MS.
