1This announcement contains references to visual results and visual estimates of mineralisation. FL1 advises there is uncertainty in reporting visual results. Visual estimates of mineral findings should not be considered a substitute for laboratory analysis where concentrations or grades are provided with scientific accuracy. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or other factors relevant to mineral result valuations. The presence of pegmatite rock does not necessarily indicate the presence of Lithium mineralisation. Laboratory chemical assays are required to determine the grade of mineralisation.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
----- End of picture text -----
First Lithium Limited (“FL1”, or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities for the December 2023 quarter.
First Lithium Managing Director, Venkatesh Padala said:
“FL1 commenced exploration in the December quarter, building momentum through channel sampling and identifying targets ahead of the 6,000m diamond drilling program at Blakala. A second drilling program of a further 2,000m also commenced at Faraba in what is becoming an accelerated exploration program.
The FL1 team are excited and motivated by the results of the drilling program to date, particularly with the very encouraging and high-grade assay results received in late December, including the exceptional assay result from intercept BDFS02 of 111m @ 1.57%.
Looking ahead, the FL1 strategy will be to complete the current exploration program in early 2024 and to plan an expanded program to further explore the permits. Assay results from the initial drilling program will highlight the potential of the project and create imagery of how the project should be developed further and will form the basis of the Company’s maiden mineral resource estimate”.
Blakala Exploration Program Commenced
On October 26 2023[3] , First Lithium announced it had commenced its maiden exploration program post listing on the ASX, which included 6,000m of planned diamond drilling to delineate the already identified spodumene bearing pegmatites highlighting substantive surface expressions. The program followed previous trenching also included channel sampling ahead of the drilling program to identify prospective drill targets as part of the program.
Faraba Exploration Program Commenced
On 20 November 2023[4] , First Lithium announced the expansion of the drilling program to include an additional 2,000m of drilling at the Company’s 2[nd] prospect Faraba. The program was intended to follow previous trenching and further examine and define the lithium-spodumene bearing pegmatites which were identified in the previous confirmatory drilling program[4] .

Drilling Results Identify Continuous Pegmatite Intercepts
On 30 October 2023[5] , the first diamond drillhole results were announced confirming one thick pegmatite of 112.8m was intercepted in BDFS02 with significant spodumene mineralisation seen throughout. Further announcements on 6 November 2023[6] , confirmed a total of 73.55m of mineralised intersection was identified including a 53.25m intercept from 39m, and 13 November 2023[7 ] confirmed five further mineralised intersections ranging from 31.87m to 67.28m for a total of over 400m of mineralised spodumene bearing pegmatite identified in the drilling program to that date. Further, the announcement on 24 November 2023[8 ] confirmed a further six diamond drillholes completed with mineralised intersect thickness ranging from 17.42m to 51.93m increasing the total mineralised strike to over 646m from the 1,560m drilled. A further five thick pegmatites were intersected as announced on 8 December 2023[9 ] identifying between 34.47m and 89.46m including an extension through the stacked West zone pegmatite which intercepted the main Blakala pegmatite demonstrating continuation of the main pegmatite which remained open at depth. The total mineralised strike grew to over 1,000m of mineralised strike at Blakala.
High Grade Outcrop samples identified
On 4 December 2023[10] , analytical results showed positive outcrop channel results of BCH02_West with 1.91% Li2O over 18.70m; BCH02_East with 1.54% Li2O over 11.00m, and BCH01 with 1.72% Li2O over 5.00m, a short outcrop channel sample line. 12 out of the 35 individual crop channel samples returned >2.00% Li2O with the highest sample of 2.56% over 1.00m in BCH02 West. Further channel sampling results were announced 28 December 2023[11] , including BCH06 from Eastern Pegmatite with 1.94% Li2O over 19.0m, BCH05 from Western Pegmatite with 1.87% Li2O over 18.0m, and BCH03 from main Pegmatite with 1.90% Li2O over 22.0m. Almost 1/3[rd] of samples assessed returned 2%+ Li2O. The high Li2O analytical results from outcrop in the Eastern and Western pegmatites identify these as additional high grade spodumene mineralised and mapped targets, with diamond drilling to follow.

Assay results confirm discovery
Assay results announced on 20 December 2023[2 ] for the first three diamond holes drilled validate the visual estimated of spodumene percentages in the core samples. Results included 111.0m intersection @ 1.56% from 33m in hole BDFS02, and including a 10m intersection @ 3.39% Li2O, as well as a 60.00m intersection @ 1.59% Li2O from 39m in hole BDFS03 including a 38.0m intersection @ 1.76% Li2O from 51m. The second diamond drilling rig was relocated from Faraba to Blakala with the aim of rapidly advancing the Blakala discovery to a JORC compliant mineral resource in 2024.
