Battery Age Minerals (ASX:BM8) has staked 46 additional mineral claims at its Falcon Lake Lithium Project in Ontario, Canada, extending the landholding by approximately 7km to the east.
The new claims increase the project’s total area to 60km2 within the Caribou Lake-O’Sullivan Greenstone Belt. The expansion consolidates the company’s district-scale position across the prospective lithium corridor.
The expanded landholding builds on ‘high-grade’ drilling results from the company’s 2024 winter program.
Drilling delivered intercepts including 54.1m @ 1.74% lithium oxide (Li2O) from 100.85m down-hole and 55.95m @ 1.47% Li2O from 222.2m down-hole.
“The new claims extend the Company’s land coverage by approximately 7km to the east, directly over prospective metavolcanic stratigraphy along trend from our existing high-grade intercepts,” CEO Sebastian Kneer says.
“Consolidating a contiguous 60km2 package gives us a genuine district-scale platform at Falcon Lake, and positions us to systematically test a much larger footprint of this fertile pegmatite corridor.”
Beyond lithium, multi-element assays have returned significant concentrations of rubidium up to 11,400 parts per million (ppm), caesium up to 2,600ppm, tantalum up to 2,300ppm, and gallium up to 95.6ppm. These assays indicate broader critical minerals potential.
Since early 2023, BM8 has focused on three historically known spodumene occurrences: Falcon West, Falcon Discovery, and Falcon East.
The newly consolidated ground will be incorporated into the company’s prospecting and geochemical sampling program planned for late summer and early autumn 2026.
