Global Battery Metals Ltd. announced a structural remote sensing study of the Leinster Lithium District has been completed with 25 new exploration targets identified by local structural geology expert, Dr. Francis Murphy of Murphy Geological Services. A first-of-its-kind comprehensive study for this region, GBML believes this study ­ in association with the ongoing development of a 3D spatial model of the dike swarm and associated structures being drilled at Knockeen PL1597 ­ will help guide additional near-term pegmatite dike identification and future drilling efforts, while supporting further project-wide lithium exploration and target generation. Remote Sensing Structural Study: GBML defined a 6,000 km2 study area covering the Company's northern and southern license blocks, including the Knockeen Prospect lithium drill program area.

Structural analysis work included utilizing Sentinel-2 satellite imagery which provides a substantial resolution increase that more than doubles that of other satellites. This work was combined with other GIS datasets including the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) Tellus Aeromagnetic data; detailed GSI bedrock mapping data, historical regional GSI geochemistry as well as in-house company GBML-LRH prospecting and lithogeochemistry data. The results of the combined study have confirmed key structural features across the Leinster Massif which are interpreted to be associated with mineralizing fluid flow key to the anatectic model for the localization and emplacement of the lithium bearing pegmatites.

The primary East Carlow Deformation Zone (ECDZ) is shown to transect several of the northern block licenses and in particular the Tonygarrow and Aghavannagh targets. Interpreted splays from this structure pass across several other of the Company's licenses and in particular through the Scurlocks, Sorrell and Knocknaboley target areas. The work has also provided extensions of all of these structural corridors which can now become part of a focused ground exploration program.

On the southern block a historic, partially mapped structural feature passing along PL 1597 has now been confirmed through this study. It can now be interpreted as a significant structural splay off the primary East Carlow Deformation Zone and passes south of the Blackstairs Granite Pluton. This feature has been termed the North Wexford Deformation Zone (NWDZ) and provides a second highly prospective trend for the focus for ground exploration activities.

Several target areas have already been identified for detailed prospecting and mapping. Knockeen Drilling Program: To date, GBML has completed eight drill holes (DDH-23-1597-01 ­ DDH-23-1597-08) for a total of 1,761m, with a ninth drill hole (DDH 23-1597-09) currently in progress (estimated final depth of 250m). Multiple phases of pegmatite and importantly the lithium bearing spodumene pegmatites have been intersected in all of the holes so far.

Logging and sampling of the holes is in progress with some of the sampled intervals currently at the laboratory with others still being processed. All of the data and results of the initial eight drill holes will be synthesized and reported together, allowing for a full, proper and considered interpretation of the intersections and providing for a more holistic view of the dike swarm's geometry. Detailed structural data is being collected from the drill core by using state of the art Reflex EZ-Trac Single Shot down-hole core orientation tool on the drill rig.

Once back at the core logging facilities, the orientated core from the drill rig is then logged for its structural components with an IMDEX STRUCTURAL-IQTM Solution tool as part of the core logging process. This approach means that the pegmatites and their exact orientations can be positioned with all of the other structural components relating to the emplacement of the pegmatite dike swarm. So far, over 5,000 structural elements have been recorded to be imported into Seequents's 3D modelling software package, LeapFrog.

This will help to better visualize the detailed structural regime and kinematics of the pegmatite dikes in the area being drilled, as well as the geometry of the various phases of pegmatites. Petrographic analysis of samples of lithologies, mineralization and alteration from within the drill core is also in progress to help interpret the metallogenetic development of the mineralizing system.
