Drill Contractor Appointed for Esperança Project to Test Spodumene Bearing Pegmatites – Mobilisation Underway

ASX Announcement 6 February 2025

Lightning Minerals (L1M or the Company) is pleased to report that Energold Drilling S.A. has been selected as the preferred contractor for drilling at the Esperança project in the Lithium Valley region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Drilling will be targeting spodumene pegmatites discovered at Esperança project in November 2024 (ASX Announcement 18 November 2024 and ASX Announcement 17 January 2025).

HIGHLIGHTS

• Up to 2,000m of drilling to test spodumene within pegmatites at the Esperança lithium project to begin the week of 15[th] February 2025

• elevated lithium in soil anomalies

• Energold Drilling S.A. has been selected as preferred drill contractor after the completion of a drill tender process and contractor evaluation

Lightning Minerals Managing Director Alex Biggs said, “It’s always exciting to begin a new drill program and with the targets we have generated the next logical step is to begin drill testing at the Esperança project. Our team has worked hard over the past 6-months to define strong lithium targets in a very prospective region. Our inaugural drill program in the Lithium Valley is only the first target of multiple areas that have been identified that demonstrate significant lithium potential across all three project areas: Esperança, Caraíbas and Canabrava. We welcome Energold Drilling S.A. as our Brazilian drilling contractors and wish our team a safe and productive drilling campaign. We look forward to keeping the market updated on our progress”.

Drilling to Begin at Esperança Project

A diamond drill program for up to 2,000m will begin at the Company’s Esperança lithium project the week starting 15[th] February. Mobilisation is currently underway. The program is designed to follow recent priority drill targets identified through regional geochemical sampling and geological mapping campaigns.

The program is designed to test for the potential of fresh pegmatites beneath the currently identified pegmatites at and near surface, which are highly weathered.

The drill program will be conducted utilising Energold’s specialist modular drill rigs which minimise clearing requirements, environmental impacts and allow for flexibility in drilling. This is important as drill plans may change as further information on the target area is understood as the drill program advances.

Esperança Spodumene Discovery

During the Company’s extensive ground reconnaissance and soil sampling works across its three project areas in the Lithium Valley of Minas Gerais, Brazil: Esperança, Caraíbas and Canabrava artisanal workings were discovered at the Esperanca project (ASX Announcement 18 November 2024).

Mineral sample VLM207 yielded initial LIBS results of 4.04%Li20 with whole rock assays yielding 0.38% Level 6 505 Little Collins St Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia | admin@lightningminerals.com.au | (08) Li20. This is to be expected as samples taken from the discovery site were taken from a highly weathered profile. The upcoming drill program will target areas greater than 30m in depth where subcropping, fresh spodumene pegmatites may be present (ASX Announcement 17 January 2025).

Raman analysis has also been completed using a Bruker BRAVO Raman spectrometer which confirmed the presence of spodumene plus the highly weathered nature of the samples (ASX Announcement 17 January 2025).

A summary of lithium is soil results >150ppm Lithium is presented in Appendix 1, Table 1. A summary of rock chip samples is presented in Appendix 1, Table 2. A summary of visual estimates of sample VLM207 is presented in Appendix 2, Table 1. A summary of pegmatite field descriptions is presented in Appendix 2, Table 2.

Appendix 1: Brazilian Projects – JORC Code 2012 Table 1 Criteria

The Table below summarises the assessment and reporting criteria used for exploration results for the Exploration Projects and reflects the guidelines in Table 1 of The Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC 2012 Code).

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria	JORC Code 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 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g 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.	• Data in this document relates to Raman Spectroscopy, geochemical soil and rock chip sampling, field visual identification of minerals, and SciAps Z-903 Handheld LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) • Mineral samples for VLM207 were collected at the discretion of field geologists targeting spodumene minerals to confirm the mineral species. The LIB’s test work on these samples relates only to a fraction of the mineral and does not represent the whole rock lithium content, which is now available and contained within Appendix 1, Table 2 below. • Raman Spectroscopy is a chemical analysis technique which involves illuminating a substance with a laser and analysing the light that is scattered off the surface of the substance. The scattered light can provide a lot of information about the substance and its structure, and can be used to identify, characterize, and quantify many chemical components. • Soil sampling is a reconnaissance stage exploration technique which may indicates the geochemical parameters of the underlying or nearby bedrock geology. Mineralised lithologies of the target commodity may elevate elemental proportions in the soil and provide vectors toward location the mineralised body. • Soil samples were collected using pick and shovel from depths of approximately 30cm below the surface. • Rockchip samples were collected at the discretion of the field geologist, this method is appropriate given the early stage of exploration at the Caraíbas Project • Approximately 200g of material from the deepest sample horizon is passed through a 2mm sieve, with the -2mm retained for assay. • All samples were submitted to SGS Geosol Laboratórios Ltd’ of Belo Horizonte. • Sampling was carried out using Lightning Minerals procedures and QAQC processes as per current industry standard practice. • Sample site locations are recorded using a Garmin Map 62s handheld device and are reported in projection SIRGAS 2000 / UTM 23S
Drilling techniques	Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).	• No drilling results are reported
Drill sample recovery	Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.	• No drilling results are reported
Logging	Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.	• No drilling results are reported

==> picture [842 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

	Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length andpercentage of the relevant intersections logged.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.	• Soil Samples are collected in the field into small kraft cardboard bags and are 200gm per unit. • Rock chip samples are approximately 1-3kg and are collected into pre numbered calico bags. • Industry standard QAQC practices of field duplicates and the appropriate use of laboratory provided Certified Reference Material for low level lithium are used for all laboratory sample submissions. Field Duplicates are utilised by the company at a rate of 1:50 samples.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests	The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.	• All samples were submitted to SGS Geosol Laboratórios Ltd’ of Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais Brazil. • Analysis procedures are considered appropriate for Lithium and Multi element analysis. • Samples are prepared and analysed using SGS technique PRS80J and are analysed via optical emission spectroscopy analysis using code ICP90A. Determination by Fusion with Sodium Peroxide - ICP OES. • Soil samples - Elements analysed at ppm limits for include Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, La, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Sb, Sc, Sn, Sr, Ta, Ti, V, W, Y, Zn • Rock Chip - Elements analysed at ppm limits include Ag, Al,As, B,Ba, Be,Bi, Ca,Cd, Ce,Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Fe, Ga, Gd, Ge, Hf, Ho, In, K, La, Li, Lu, Mg, Mn, Mo, Nb, Nd, Ni, P, Pb, Pr, Rb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Sn, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, Ti, Tl, Tm, U, V, W, Y, Yb, Zn, Zr • Laboratory CRM material has been utilised at this early stage of exploration works. • A SciAps Z-903 LIBS device was been used for spot sample readings of minerals of interest within sample VLM207. The device is calibrated each day, and before analysis is begun. QAQC standards are used every 10-15 readings as consistency checks. Readings times are approximately 3 to 5 seconds and are standard for the device. The device is calibrated to a lithium profile supplied by SciAps prior to use. • Handheld LIBS is expected to differ from laboratory assay results and can read above theoretical maximum values. They should not be used to replace assays or indicate whole rock grade which are now available in Appendix 1, Table 2 below.
Verification of sampling and assaying	The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data.	• No verification will be undertaken for these initial samples as they will not be used in any resource estimate. • The samples are to determine the levels of Li and other valuable elements in soil samples.
Location of data points	Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used.	• Handheld Garmin GPS instruments were used to geo locate each sample location, these instruments are understood to be accurate within a ±5m in the horizontal and vertical planes. • The level of topographic control offered by a handheld GPS is considered sufficient for early exploration activities. • All samples were collected in the SIRGAS 2000/UTM zone 23S

==> picture [842 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing, and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied.	• The soil and rock chip sample spacing is considered appropriate for the reporting of the exploration results. • No Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve Estimates have been completed.
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.	• The collection of soil and rock chip sampling data was targeted as best possible at this early stage of exploration activities.
The measures taken to ensure sample security.	• The chain of custody for sampling procedures and sample analysis was managed by the contract geological consultants duringcollection
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.	• No audits or reviews of sampling techniques have been conducted to date.

Section 2 - Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Mineral tenement and and tenure status	Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.	• The Esperança, Canabrava, and Caraíbas Projects are located approximately 18km south-south east of the town of Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. • The Esperança Project area totals ~11.1km2and comprises one exploration licence 301033/2013 • The Caraíbas Project area totals ~17.3km2 and comprises 5 granted exploration licences 831.514/2018, 832.041/2011, 831.424/2013, 832.763/2014, and 830.313/2014 • The Canabrava Project area totals ~16.7km2and comprises two granted exploration licences 830440/2015 and 830439/2015 • The Tenements are considered ingood standingat the time of this report.
Exploration done by other parties	Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	• The Projects are at a very early stage of exploration and little to no recorded work has been completed by prior explorers. • Recent exploration has included a small reconnaissance explorationprogram by project vendor Bengal Mining.
Geology	Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	• No known mineral deposits occur within project tenure. • Project geology comprises Neoproterozoic age sedimentary rocks of Araçuaí Orogen intruded by pegmatites interpreted to originate from the fractionation of magmatic fluids from the peraluminous S-type post tectonic granitoids of Araçuaí Orogen. • The target commodityis hardrock lithium within lithium-caesium-tantalumpegmatites.
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: o easting and northing of the drill hole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o down hole length and interception depth, o hole length.	• No drillhole information is reported. • No material information has been excluded from this report, laboratory analytical results have been adequately communicated and described within the body of this report.

==> picture [842 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

	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 clearly explain why this is the case.
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.	• No levelling of the raw geochemical data was undertaken. • Plan images have been generated using QGIS software. • No metal equivalent values are reported.
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’).	• No drillhole information is reported. • There is insufficient data provided by the mapping and geochemical results contained within this report for a relationship between pegmatite and mineral resources to be reported.
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.	• Appropriate reporting of results has been included in the body of this announcement; the plans, or lack thereof suitably represent the nature of the results.
Balanced reporting	Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.	• Comprehensive reporting of soil and rock chip geochemical results within the Projects has been included in Appendix 1.
Other substantive exploration data	Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.	• All meaningful data and relevant information have been included in the body of the report.
Further work	The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g., tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.	• Up to 2,000m of Diamond drilling of the target described in the report above is expected to commence shortly. • Follow up infill soil sampling is currently being planned and is expected to begin imminently, however at the time of reporting the program has not yet begun.
