ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

KEY TARGET GENERATION ADVANCING AT MIRIAM LITHIUM PROJECT

Highlights

  • The Miriam Project hosts high-grade spodumene bearing pegmatites with rock chip samples up to 1.85% Li2O[1] , located immediately north of FBM’s Big Red discovery.

  • Geochemical soil sampling previously undertaken by Corazon Mining Limited (ASX:CZN) (Corazon) revealed a primary target of approximately 1.6km in strike, with a second trend spanning approximately 600m.

  • Field mapping undertaken by FBM in recent weeks has successfully identified 11 discrete outcropping pegmatite units across the southern area of the Miriam Project tenure.

  • Additional sampling of the known spodumene-bearing outcrop previously identified by Corazon has generated a further 2.0% Li2O rock chip assay.

  • -

  • Significantly, FBM identified an additional spodumene bearing outcrop, approx. 250m west of the known spodumene-bearing outcrop, which returned a rock chip assay of 1.23% Li2O.

  • The rock chip and soil sampling geochemical data, plus recent mapping results, have identified four (4) distinct target zones, varying from 350m to 1.6km in strike length.

  • Wide-spaced extensional soil sampling is now planned to test the potential for blind, subsurface pegmatites, including across the northern part of the tenure.

  • Target-generative geophysical review has also commenced, including litho-magnetic structural interpretation and low-cost ground gravity and passive seismic surveys.

  • Acquisition of the Miriam Project remains subject to conditions precedent and is anticipated to complete in late May 2024, with FBM’s shareholder meeting scheduled for 20 May 2024.

  • Following transaction completion, FBM expects to commence a maiden drilling program at the Miriam Project during Q3 2024.

  • Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project (KHLP) initial Phase 4 drill program complete, with assays expected mid-May.

Future Battery Minerals Limited ( ASX: FBM ) ( FBM or the Company ) refers to its ASX announcement dated 25 March 2024 in respect to the acquisition of 85% of the issued capital of Coolgardie Nickel Pty Ltd, which holds the tenements that comprise the Miriam Lithium Project ( Miriam Project or Project ) in Western Australia and provides an update on the on-going exploration activities at the Miriam Project.

FBM Managing Director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, commented:

“These field work results demonstrate why we were attracted to the Miriam tenure in the first place. The powerful combination of multiple pegmatite outcrops with proven spodumene mineralisation and surface soil anomalies suggesting potential for extended blind, sub-surface spodumene-bearing pegmatites, is an exciting

one. Our experience and knowledge of the Kangaroo Hills region informs our proposed work program, which is set to rapidly undertake smart, high-value lithium exploration at Miriam. Moreover, the absence of historic drilling for lithium at the Miriam Project provides a significant opportunity for future exploration success.”

“We look forward to progressing the Miriam acquisition to completion, targeted for next month, and advancing the tenure towards a maiden target-testing drill program during the September quarter.”

On-ground activities at Miriam deliver strong target-generative results

Strategic acquisition advancing towards completion

In late March 2024, FBM executed a binding purchase agreement to acquire 85% of the issued capital of Coolgardie Nickel Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Corazon , which holds tenements that comprise the Miriam Project (refer FBM ASX release dated 25 March 2024, FBM consolidates strategic position with acquisition of an 85% interest in the Miriam Lithium Project ). The transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the Company obtaining shareholder approval (scheduled to occur on 20 May 2024), and is anticipated to complete in late May 2024.

The Miriam Project is located approximately 10 kilometres south-southwest of Coolgardie and immediately north and contiguous to the Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project ( KHLP ).

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[2] . 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[3] . The large lithium soil anomaly, extending from the weathered (depleted) outcrop of spodumene-rich pegmatite, highlights a potential trend of further lithium bearing pegmatites being present undercover on the Miriam Project.

The absence of historic drilling for lithium at the Miriam Project provides a significant opportunity for future discovery. Following transaction completion, FBM expects to commence a maiden lithium drill program at the Miriam Project during Q3 CY24.

Mapping work identifies numerous pegmatites and further strong rock chip results

Field mapping work undertaken by FBM in recent weeks has successfully identified 11 discrete pegmatite units across the southern area of Miriam Project tenure. Most of these outcropping pegmatites are located proximate to the known existing spodumene outcrop noted earlier.

The identified pegmatite occurrences are associated with historic gold exploration, namely shafts and trenches, which have limited surface expression. Samples have been collected where safely accessible from the in-situ edges and mullock heaps of the historic workings. However, due to the discrete and disturbed surface expression of the pegmatites, the scale is not readily capable of presentation on geological maps.

Significantly, a pegmatite outcrop discovered approximately 250m to the west of the previously reported spodumene outcrop at Miriam has returned a rock chip assay grading 1.23% Li2O.

Additionally, further sampling of the original reported spodumene-bearing outcrop noted above has generated a 2.0% Li2O rock chip assay.

Rock chips collected from outcrops in the southern area of the tenure commonly host elevated LCT elements, such as the less mobile pathfinders, tantalum and tin. They also show a highly fractionated trend, with a low K:Rb ratio of less than 20. The fractionation values are similar to LCT mineralisation at the KHLP’s Big Red spodumene pegmatite. This highlights the potential for further mineralisation to exist in undercover, unweathered pegmatites at the Project.

Importantly, the returned rock chip assays correlate with the soil sampling previously undertaken by Corazon. Utilising both the rock chip and soil sampling geochemical data, plus the mapping outcomes, four (4) distinct target zones become apparent.

These target zones vary from 350m to 1.6km in strike length, and are characterised by elevated lithium, tantalum and tin values. Including a lower-level lithium anomaly observed developing at the north-eastern boundary of the tenement and which remains open due to the limited footprint of the current soil sample area.

Additional target generation work commenced

To complement the existing targets defined at the Project to date. FBM has commenced a target-generative geophysical review of the Miriam tenure. This comprises litho-magnetic structural interpretation of the entire tenement package and low-cost non-ground disturbing geophysical surveys including ground gravity and passive seismic.

These low-cost geophysical review and survey methods were previously successfully implemented at the KHLP. Significantly, the litho-magnetic structural interpretation successfully identified thick blind pegmatites up to 56m and 43m downhole at the Wallaroo and Pademelon targets, respectively.

Soil sampling activities undertaken to date at Miriam have been limited to only 2.6km (north-south) of the Mirian Project’s approximate 6km extent. A wide-spaced extensional soil sampling programme is planned to test for potential blind, subsurface pegmatites, including in the northern area of the tenure.

Soil sampling is considered a low cost and fast method of defining broad geochemical anomalies for immediate drill testing or further target refinement. Soil sampling is particularly effective in terrains such as the KHLP and Miriam Project where there is substantial in-situ regolith and little-to-no transported alluvium, producing a more dependable surface geochemical data set. The results of the soil sampling will be used to guide the geophysical surveys allowing for better allocation of survey costs and target refinement.

Mapping work is also planned to be undertaken to evaluate for further potential pegmatites in the northern region of the Project.

Kangaroo Hills Phase 4A drill program

On 11 March 2024, FBM announced that it had commenced the Phase 4A Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling program in the northern area of KHLP. The program was initially focused on testing the interpreted northern continuity (Big Red Extension) of the shallow, thick, gently dipping, and high-grade lithium mineralisation intersected at Big Red. Drilling then shifted to testing of resistivity anomaly targets at Quokka, Big Red West and Western Grey.

This program has now been completed, with assays expected to be returned around mid-May.

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Directors of the Company.

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.

CRITERIA EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.
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
contaminatingsubstances.

No other substantive data exists.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg 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 commerciallysensitive.

FBM plans to conduct further target
generative exploration at completion of
transaction, this will include, mapping,
sampling, geophysical surveys. Drilling
will be conducted on a campaign basis
testing identified targets.

Refer to figures/diagrams in the main
body of text.
