Global Battery Metals Ltd. announced that Global Battery Metals Ltd. ("GBML"), has provided an update on the ongoing drilling campaign at the Knockeen prospect (PLA 1597) on North Leinster lithium project in Ireland. The project is progressing under an ongoing and successful option agreement between GBML and Technology Minerals which is being operated by GBML. Phase 1 drill holes (DDH-23-1597-01 - DDH-23-23-1597-04) completed for a total of 656m.

Visual analysis of core suggests intervals of lithium mineralisation among pegmatite intersections from all four drill holes sent to ALS Laboratories for assaying. Drilling of Hole Five (DDH-23- 1597-05) is currently underway, with GBML announcing its intent to pursue drilling at all 10 permitted drill sites for a total of approximately 2,000m. Further to the GBML's 7 June, 2023 Program Update, several drilling adjustments have been applied based on the measured pegmatite dike geometries and orientations which were intersected in the first hole.

GBML has succeeded in intersecting multiple dikes within the host granites to reveal a structurally controlled LCT pegmatite system, which importantly includes spodumene pegmatite intervals which continue to be logged, sampled and dispatched for analysis at ALS Laboratories. The drill programme has been approved under the government's detailed "appropriate assessment screening" process for up to 10 drill holes for a total of approximately 2.000m. No drilling has ever been carried out at the Knockeen Prospect previously, and intersecting potential lithium bearing pegmatites among the first four holes drilled would be considered a major technical success.

Prior surface exploration activities identified and confirmed expansive surface boulder trains of lithium pegmatite lithologies in a number of areas across the Leinster property, with recent assay results of 66 rock samples analysed by ALS Laboratories earlier this year returning Li2 O% lithium contents ranging up to 3.75 % Li2 O /17,410 ppm Li. The project is being managed on the ground by a technical team experienced in LCT pegmatite systems from exploration contracting company Aurum Global Exploration Services Limited. The total license holding covers approximately 525 km2 along and adjacent to the East Carlow Deformation Zone (ECDZ) and associated splay structures which are now recognized as the major controlling structures to pegmatite emplacement across the region.

In addition to GBML's ongoing drill programme at Knockeen, a new and focused phase of associated exploration activities is in the advanced stage of planning and due to commence soon. These programmes will take place across the Northern License Block will include detailed prospecting and mapping programmes that will initially target the five known occurrences of lithium pegmatites discovered by GBML during previous phases of exploration and will extend out along interpreted structural corridors within the granite and at granite pluton margins with the Lower Paleozoic metasediments and metavolcanics. Quality Assurance/Quality Control of drill core samples and associated assay results are monitored by GBML and Technology Minerals through a quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC " protocol which includes the insertion of blind standard reference materials, blanks, and duplicates at regular intervals.

Core is drilled in HQ core diameter and each 3 metres of core recovered is orientated by the drilling contractor on completion of each run drilled. Drill core is laid out in strong core boxes and transported by Company geologists from the drill rig to GBML's secure logging facility. ALS also performs its own internal QA/QC procedures to assure the accuracy and integrity of results.

GBML and Technology Minerals and Technology Minerals and Technology Mining is currently underway.
