Future Battery Minerals Ltd ( ASX: FBM ) ( FBM or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it has entered into a purchase agreement ( Agreement ) with Corazon Mining Limited ( Corazon ) pursuant to which FBM will acquire 85% of Coolgardie Nickel Pty Ltd ( Coolgardie Nickel ) ( Acquisition ). Coolgardie Nickel is a wholly owned subsidiary of Corazon, which holds various prospecting licences which comprise the Miriam Project.

FBM Managing Director, Nicholas Rathjen, commented:

“Given our strong belief in the Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project, this acquisition represents an opportunistic and logical move to further consolidate our landholding in the region. The Miriam Project offers a highly prospective, drill-ready opportunity. This strategic addition is on ground endowed with confirmed outcropping spodumene lithium-bearing pegmatites and we look forward to commencing work at Miriam immediately, conducting detailed target generation with first drilling to commence during Q3 CY24.”

Incoming FBM Non-Executive Chairman, Neville Power, commented:

“I am delighted to assume the Chair role moving forward. I look forward to playing my part in successfully guiding FBM’s excellent team in navigating the advancement of our lithium assets in Western Australia and Nevada. With our strategic positioning in these regions, we are well placed to capitalise on lithium’s critical global role."

“On behalf of the Board and wider FBM team, I would like to express sincere gratitude to Mike for his immense contributions to FBM’s evolution, and his integral role in the significant, value-adding discoveries we have made to date. This Company has achieved a huge amount in a relatively short period of time, which is a testament to the quality of its assets and the energy of its team.”

Miriam Project Overview

The Miriam Project is located approximately 10 kilometres south-southwest of Coolgardie and immediately north and contiguous to FBM’s Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project.

The Miriam Project covers an area of approximately 6 kilometres by 1.5 kilometres and comprises four Prospecting Licences (P15/61356 to P15/6139 inclusive) and one Prospecting Licence application (P15/6135).

In December 2022, Corazon announced the discovery of spodumene bearing outcrop on the Miriam Project with high grade rock chip samples returning up to 1.85% Li2O[1] . During 2023, detailed geochemical soil sampling revealed a primary lithium target of approximately 1.6 kilometres in strike, and a second trend spanning approximately 600 metres, that links into the main pegmatite trend[2] . The large lithium soil anomaly, extended from the weathered (depleted) outcrop of spodumene-rich pegmatite, highlighting a potential trend of further lithium bearing pegmatites to be present on undercover on the Miriam Project. The absence of historic drilling for lithium at the Miriam Project provides a significant opportunity for future discovery. FBM expects to be able to commence drilling at the Miriam Project during Q3 CY24, pending completion of the Acquisition.

Figure 1: Location of Miriam Project

A site visit to the Miriam Project was conducted by FBM technical personnel during the project due diligence phase. The site visit included an inspection of the spodumene occurrences at Miriam and rock chips were collected for investigation and determination of grade and mineralogy. The pegmatite outcrop containing the spodumene mineralisation is located in situ within a historic gold working consisting of a small shaft and a later/younger trench. The pegmatite appears flat lying with the dip direction not yet apparent. Within five metres of the shaft and trench is a mullock heap of pegmatite with abundant visible spodumene, insitu pegmatite within the trench also contains visible spodumene. Due to the near surface nature of the pegmatite, weathering

is considered moderate. Four rock chip samples were collected from the insitu outcrop and mullock heap with two rock chip samples selected containing visible spodumene[3] and two rock chip samples selected not containing visible spodumene.

The weathered rock chips containing visible spodumene were placed under a 365nm wavelength UV light. Shown below in Figure 2 the spodumene minerals produce an orange to salmon coloured response from the UV light. The spodumene minerals observed ranged from fine grained millimetre scale up to coarse <5cm scale. The four rock chip samples were then submitted for assay. No further mineralogical investigations have been conducted by FBM.

The assay results confirmed the presence of anomalous lithium in all four samples. A peak assay of 0.9% Li2O (Table 1) was achieved and this is considered correlative to the rock chip results announced by Corazon from the same outcrop (Table 2). Importantly all four rock chips also exhibited highly anomalous tin (Sn) and tantalum (Ta) with a peak result of 107ppm Sn and 121ppm Ta, which is indicative of LCT pegmatites. Additionally, all four results highlight a highly fractionated pegmatite system as defined by a low K:Rb ratio ranging from 6-9. This low ratio has also been observed within the mineralised pegmatite’s at FBM’s Big Red prospect where spodumene is the dominant lithium bearing mineral. These features suggest a common source/system of the mineralised pegmatites and highlights the potential scale for mineralisation given the occurrences are approximately 3.5km apart.

Corazon sampling and mapping has only focused on the visible spodumene occurrence to date. During the field visit it was observed that pegmatites were common within numerous historic gold workings located on the tenure and are yet to be thoroughly sampled. As such FBM will be conducting a detailed mapping and rock chip sampling programme of the entire Miriam project on completion of the Acquisition.

Board Changes

Existing Non-Executive Director, Mr Neville (Nev) Power has been appointed to the role of Non-Executive Chairman effective today. Nev’s elevation to the Chair role follows the decision of incumbent FBM Chairman, Mr Mike Edwards, to step back to a Non-Executive Director role (also effective from today).

Nev was appointed to the FBM Board in November 2023 and brings more than four decades of experience across mining, minerals processing, construction and steel making. He has accumulated a wide range of expertise across multiple sectors of the global business landscape. From 2011 to 2018, Nev was Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Fortescue Metals Group (ASX:FMG), one of the world’s largest and lowest cost producers of iron ore. During his tenure, Fortescue more than quadrupled its production to over 170 million tonnes per annum and positioned itself as the lowest cost supplier of seaborne iron ore to China.

Mr Edwards has been a member of the FBM board since 2021 and incumbent Chairman since 2022 including the role of Executive Chairman from March - October 2023. Mike’s leadership spanned the period of FBM’s progression of the Nickel sulphide assets, the discovery of lithium at Kangaroo Hills and the acquisition and discovery of our lithium clay project in Nevada. He played a pivotal role in the subsequent transformation of the company into a lithium focused explorer including corporate recruitment, rebranding and development of the forward strategy. In the role of non-executive director, Mike will remain a critical member of the FBM team continuing to provide his depth corporate and resources experience as the company progresses its key lithium projects.

About Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project (KHLP) – 100%

The KHLP is a recent and exciting hard rock lithium discovery located in the Goldfields of Western Australia, approximately 17km south of the major township of Coolgardie. Spodumene mineralisation within LithiumCaesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites was discovered during regional exploration drilling of the Nepean Nickel Project in late 2022. Exploration efforts to date have significantly expanded on these initial results, with subsequent drilling discovering the Big Red Prospect, an outcropping, north-dipping pegmatite returning an intercept of 29m @ 1.36% Li2O from 38m[4] , and with spodumene identified as the dominant lithium mineral. Through the implementation of regional target generative work involving mapping, geophysics and geochemistry, five additional high priority prospects have been identified being Western Grey, Quokka, Whiptail, Big Red West and Big Red North. These high priority prospects have the potential to host further LCT pegmatites.

The location of the KHLP provides significant advantages to FBM. Located on the doorstep of a premier mining district, the Goldfields of Western Australia, and specifically Kalgoorlie (50km east of the KHLP), host a professional mining and exploration workforce. This provides FBM with ready access to skilled labour and regional infrastructure critical to the development of any future mining project. The Goldfields region is also a notably lithium endowed province of Western Australia, with numerous operating and developing lithium projects. Notably, the KHLP is only 30km west of the Mt Marion Lithium Mine operated by Mineral Resources (ASX: MIN). The KHLP site is accessible via a sealed road leading south from Coolgardie, ensuring FBM has continuous access all year-round.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition, Table 1 (Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project) Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

CRITERIA	EXPLANATION	COMMENTARY
Sampling techniques	● 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 1m samples from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30g 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.	● FBM - Rock Chip samples are collected from out crop, sub crop and mullock piles in the field. ● Spodumene observations were determined by competent geologists and examined with ultraviolet light for mineral fluorescence and identification ● Only geochemical assay results are considered a definitive indication of grade Corazon Rock and Soil Sampling – • A total of 636 soil samples were collected ● Soil sampling was conducted on a 100mx40m grid ● Results of the Corazon soil programme were announced by Corazon Mining on 29thof March 2023 ● Results of the Corazon rock chips were announced on the 17thof January 2023

CRITERIA	EXPLANATION	COMMENTARY
		lithologies.
Drill hole Information	● A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: ● easting and northing of the drill hole collar ● elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar ● dip and azimuth of the hole ● down hole length and interception depth ● 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 clearlyexplain whythis is the case.	● No drill holes are reported.
Data aggregation methods	● 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 clearlystated.	● Results are point samples only ● Grades >0.3% Li2O are considered significant for mineralisation purposes. ● Metal equivalent values have not been used.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths	● 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’).	● The widths and geometry of lithium mineralised pegmatite is not currently known. Exploration drilling is required to quantify this.
Diagrams	● 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.	● Relevant diagrams have been included within the announcement.
Balanced reporting	● 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.	● All relevant results have been previously reported in cross referenced announcements. ● All rock chip assays from FBM sampling has been included. Corazon sampling has been included and referenced.
