Bradda Head Lithium Ltd

("Bradda Head", "Bradda" or the "Company")

Drill Permits Received for San Domingo Pegmatite Targets, Basin West lithium in Clays Exploration Plan Accepted

Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM:BHL), the North America-focused lithium development group focused on developing US lithium for the US market, is pleased to announce approval of bonding on Notice of Intent ("NOI") drilling permits at San Domingo as well as the acceptance of the amended Exploration Plan of Operation ("EPO") at Basin West, both in the state of Arizona and on Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") lands.

Highlights:

·   Bond approval on the Dragon NOI by the BLM to build 37 drill pads on the North and South targets;

·  Bond approval on the San Domingo North NOI by the BLM to build 35 drill pads on the Ruby Soho, Midnight Owl, and Lone Giant targets;

·   Acquired a mineral lease for 160 acres of Arizona State Lands at San Domingo; and  

·  Acceptance of the amended EPO at Basin West by the BLM to build drill pads and construct new access routes.

Ian Stalker, Executive Chair, commented:

"Bradda Head is now in a position to move quickly as our permits at San Domingo have been fully approved for drilling, with a cost-effective strategy to progress the shallow, undrilled targets that could lead us to resource development.

We have already identified multiple highly prospective targets, including Dragon where we observe a dominance of very large spodumene crystals and up to 600 meters of outcropping pegmatites with visible mineralization. At Ruby Soho, we have seen over 250 meters of strike length and continuous lithium mineralization. Having looked in detail at Midnight Owl, we believe a sub-horizontal lithium-rich pegmatite went largely untested by prior drilling. We now have the ability to quicky drill-test the concept with reverse circulation drill holes for quicker and cheaper results. This, and follow-up to the 8.40m of 1.17% Li2O in channel samples, indicate there are clear targets we can easily access and drill-test in the next phase of drilling.

At Basin West, we are entering a new phase of exploration with the pursuit of the Environmental Assessment (EA) and examining further exploration potential at the Basin Project. Obtaining the EAs will allow us the opportunity to build on the expansion of the resource to 2.81MT of LCE identified last year, on which ourselves and the BLM remain highly encouraged.

This is a fantastic development that edges us towards our objective of a potential production decision. We look forward to providing updates on progress in due course."   

San Domingo NOI's

Two key bonding permits were approved by the BLM for two NOI's at San Domingo, notably Dragon and San Domingo North, where the Company has defined high priority drill targets at Dragon, Ruby Soho and Midnight Owl. As described in PR 03 September, 2024, the undrilled Dragon targets demonstrate excellent channel sample geochemistry highlighted by 8.80m at 0.97% Li2O plus 174ppm cesium and 10.40m at 0.68% Li2O and 341ppm cesium. Dragon also contains the highest Li2O sample to date at 7.99%, highlighting the high-grade nature of lithium mineralization across the Dragon targets. The newly discovered Ruby Soho target, containing rock chip samples up to 3.57% Li2O along a 250m strike length and eight samples ranging from 0.255% to 3.57% Li2O (see PR 01 October, 2024). Proposed drill sites at both targets are designed to drill proximal and perpendicular to the strike of spodumene-bearing pegmatites.

The San Domingo North NOI includes several closely spaced holes at Midnight Owl where a sub-horizontal pegmatite target has gone mostly untested by prior drilling campaigns and was recognized during recent mapping and 3-D geologic modeling. The target can be tested with shallow holes of 30m to 50m each. Additional targets at Midnight Owl will test the upper-plate (above a low-angle fault) of an untested spodumene bearing pegmatite, again with shallow drill holes. The lower plate (below a low-angle fault with 20m offset) contains the high-grade spodumene mineralization found in drill hole SD22-024 where 31.85m at 1.60% Li2O was encountered (see PR 06 February, 2023). The upper plate contains outcropping and spodumene bearing pegmatite with channel sample results identified 8.40m of 1.17% Li2O with 625ppm cesium and is an undrilled portion of the pegmatite where prior core holes did not test this portion of the pegmatite. Detailed surface mapping combined with excellent lithium-rich channel samples and 3-D geologic modeling present a viable and shallow target to potentially grow the high-grade Midnight Owl drill hole intercepts from the 2023 drilling program.

San Domingo Land Acquisition

The Company has recently acquired an additional 160 acres of newly "freed-up" Arizona State Lands in the northeastern edge of the lode claims at San Domingo. The new land contains a portion of the Ruby Soho trend, thus, is strategic and beneficial for future drilling along strike towards the north. Within the new State mineral lease, a large outcrop of lithium bearing pegmatite was found separate from Ruby Soho, on the edge of Tertiary volcanic cover and contains rock chip samples running 1.47%, 0.80%, and 0.26% Li₂O. A total of ten samples have been collected in this new mineral lease, with values ranging from 0.01% to 1.47% Li2O, all rock chip samples collected from pegmatites.

Basin West EPO

The amended Basin West EPO was accepted by the Kingman BLM District office and now moves into the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) process for development of an EA (Environmental Assessment). Following our 2024 Basin resource expansion drilling, which reached 2.81MT of LCE (See PR 01 July, 2024), undrilled targets to the west provide unbridled potential where lithium anomalous clays are identified over much of the 11.8km² EPO area. The Company will be working closely with the BLM to address all NEPA environmental and cultural related concerns and writing of the EA. Once approved, the EA will open our ability to continue drill-testing high quality lithium in clay targets and continue expansion of the existing resource.
