Serbian Lithium-Borate Assets
Rekovac Lithium-Borate Project (100%)
The field season at Rekovac commenced in August consisting of detailed LithoFacies mapping of the Rekovac license area, measuring magnetic susceptibility and bulk density over the length of the Rekovac diamond drill core (1,238m[6] ) as well as geophysics including gravity and magnetic surveying.[ 7]
The mapping program was important in order to understand the lateral extensions that were previously identified, the permissive lacustrine boratiferous sequences and the closely demarcate areas with evaporate occurrences at surface. The program resulted in the identification of five dominating sedimentary formations.
In conjunction with the mapping program, the Company undertook the measurement of magnetic susceptibility and bulk density over the existing drill core.
The surface program was completed in late August[8] with the site selected for drill hole REK_003 located approximately 2.5km ESE from REK_002 where analcime components had been found at surface. Presences of analcime within the lake sediments which indicate permissive depositional environments associated with active volcanism, create conditions for entrapment of volatile elements in concentrated waters.[9] Site works and access for heavy vehicles and equipment to the drill location at REK_003 has been completed. The Company continues to fully engage with the local community regarding the Company’s exploration programs with our Managing Director and senior management team currently in country.

The Mapping program also identified prospective, intercalated, lacustrine sediments comprised chiefly of marlstone, claystone, and siltstone. The Company appointed a drilling contractor in August in preparation for drilling which is now set to commence.[10]

Dobrinja and Pranjani Lithium-Borate Projects (100%)
Surface sampling programs begun at BMM’s other Serbian assets in September 2021 with the initial program at Dobrinja finishing in October. Due to the increased activity at the Company’s Rekovac project, it was decided to defer the Pranjani sampling program and to rather focus on the Company’s flagship Rekovac project currently.[ 11]
Due to the extensive amount of outcrops, surface sampling is a useful guide in identifying the presence of Neogene strata and will allow the inference of prospective sections.
The Company conducted an extensive surface prospecting and a permit wide sampling program at Dobrinja, consisting of 97 outcrops being observed and the required information being obtained and recorded into the company database. Additionally, 61 samples of lacustrine-appearing sediments were taken for geochemical analysis.
The sampling program was conducted in order to identify prospective stratigraphy with elevated lithium and boron and to allow the inference of prospective sections.
The samples have been submitted to ALS Bor for sample preparation to be conducted and once completed, the samples will be dispatched to ALS Ireland and Vancouver for multi-element ICP analysis. The Company will release the results once received.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 29 October 2021
A gravity survey will follow on completion of the initial programs with the aim of defining basin geometry, relative thickness of the sedimentary sections and steep basement margins, which may suggest faults that serve as zones of migration for lithium boron mineral-bearing fluids.
The surface sampling results will be assessed with mapping information and the geophysical survey interpretation in order to prioritise drill targets.
The Company continues to actively review potential value accretive opportunities in the Balkans.
Corporate
Initial Public Offering
The Company completed its Initial Public Offering ( IPO ) in July 2021, successfully raising A$6,500,000 via the issue of 32,500,000 shares.[ 12]
Puro.earth Agreement
A Marketplace Platform Agreement was executed with Puro.earth in September for the identification of CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) for its projects in Serbia.
Puro.earth is the world’s first B2B marketplace, standard and registry focused solely on carbon removal. Its mission is to mobilize the world’s economy to reward carbon net-negative emissions. It does this by helping voluntary corporate buyers accelerate carbon dioxide removal at an industrial global scale.
Puro.earth identifies processes that remove CO2 from the atmosphere, co-creates carbon removal methodologies with stringent requirements and verifies the operations. The online marketplace and registry focuses solely on carbon removal, aggregating verified carbon dioxide removal suppliers and bringing them together with buyers who purchase their verified carbon removal credits, CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs), which represent one tonne of carbon removed.
Aiming at climate and economic impact, Puro.earth is driving forward a market of carbon negative industries, enabling a new revenue stream to accelerate their growth. In July 2021, Nasdaq acquired a majority interest in Puro.earth.
Under the agreement, Puro.earth will seek to identify CORCs for the Company to purchase from 2024 onwards. In support of our joint goals, Puro.earth has undertaken to refrain from entering into a Marketplace Agreement with any other Lithium/Borate Company for the first year from signing of this Marketplace Agreement. Whilst the Company will initially look to purchase sufficient CORCs to offset its project and corporate emissions, the marketing agreement allows for BMM to acquire additional CORCs that it can then on-sell to other parties.
Appendix 5B
The Appendix 5B quarterly cashflow report for the quarter ended 30 September 2021 is submitted with this report.
The Group had a cash balance of $5,065k as at 30 September 2021. Exploration expenditure during the quarter totalled $41k.

Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements included in this release constitute forward-looking information. Statements regarding BMM’s plans with respect to its mineral properties and programs are forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that BMM’s plans for development of its mineral properties will proceed as currently expected. There can also be no assurance that BMM will be able to confirm the presence of additional mineral resources, that any mineralisation will prove to be economic or that a mine will successfully be developed on any of BMM’s mineral properties. The performance of BMM may be influenced by a number of factors which are outside the control of the Company and its Directors, staff, and contractors.
These statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding future production, resources or reserves and exploration results. All such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of the Company, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) those relating to the interpretation of exploration sample, mapping and drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits and conclusions of economic evaluations, (ii) risks relating to possible variations in reserves and resources, grade, planned mining dilution and ore loss, or recovery rates and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, (iii) the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies, (iv) risks related to commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, (v) risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or delays in obtaining governmental approvals or in the completion of development or construction activities, and (vi) other risks and uncertainties related to the company’s prospects, properties and business strategy.
There is continuing uncertainty as to the full impact of COVID-19 on BMM’s business, the Australian economy, share markets and the economies in which BMM conducts business. Given the high degree of uncertainty surrounding the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not currently possible to assess the full impact of COVID-19 on BMM’s business or the price of BMM securities.
