ASX Announcement

Successful $5.5 Million Capital Raising to Accelerate Global Critical Metals Exploration

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Firm commitments received to raise A$5.5 million

  • Strong support from new and existing sophisticated and professional investors

  • Funds to accelerate drilling at the El Aguila Gold-Silver (Argentina) and on-going drilling at Bleiberg Zinc-Lead-Germanium (Austria) projects, as well as initial exploration activities at the newly secured Apex Germanium–Gallium Project (USA)

  • Ongoing University of Sydney collaboration advancing next-generation germanium recovery technologies

Battery Age Minerals Ltd (ASX: BM8; “Battery Age” or “the Company” ) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to raise A$5.5 million (before costs) via a twotranche placement of fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.14 per share to new and existing sophisticated and professional investors (“ Placemen t”).

Funds raised will be directed towards the Company’s active exploration programs across its diversified exploration portfolio, including ongoing maiden drilling at the Bleiberg Zinc–Lead– Germanium Project in Austria, maiden drilling of priority targets at the El Aguila Gold–Silver Project in Argentina, and the commencement of exploration at the newly secured Apex Germanium–Gallium Project in Utah, USA (see ASX Announcement dated 31 October 2025), a region of growing strategic importance for semiconductor-critical metals.

Battery Age will also continue advancing its collaborative research program with the University of Sydney, focused on developing scalable, low-energy recovery pathways for germanium.

Battery Age CEO, Nigel Broomham, commented :

“This capital raise provides the financial flexibility to accelerate our global exploration programs and unlock the full potential of our strategic portfolio.

With drilling now advancing at Bleiberg and El Aguila, and exploration underway at our newly secured Apex Project in the United States, Battery Age is uniquely positioned across three key jurisdictions to deliver meaningful discoveries in germanium, gallium, and precious metals.

In parallel, our collaboration with the University of Sydney on innovative germanium recovery technologies reinforces our commitment to building a western-aligned, sustainable supply chain for these strategic materials.”
