Battery Age Minerals Ltd. advise that it has received approval from the Ontario Ministry of Mines for the drilling permit application for its maiden drilling programme at its Falcon Lake Lithium Project in Canada. The receipt of this key statutory approval will allow Battery Age to fast-track the start of its maiden drilling programme on the highly prospective Falcon Lake lithium asset, which is located in the Tier-1 Thunder Bay mining jurisdiction in north-western Ontario. It is anticipated the initial drilling programme will comprise approximately 4,000-5,000m of diamond drilling, with site operations to be overseen by Battery Age's in-country Exploration Lead, Taylor Smith, supported by Coast Mountain Geological Services.

The program will be supported from the town of Armstrong, where Battery Age is building strong relationships with the local White Sands First Nation and Armstrong communities. Final planning and mobilisation activities for the maiden drilling programme are now well underway, with drilling operations expected to commence in 4-6 weeks. The Falcon Lake Lithium Project is located in the Tier-1 Thunder Bay mining jurisdiction in north-western Ontario, Canada.

Comprising 214 mining claims covering an area of 4,280 hectares (42.8km2), Falcon Lake is located in a highly fertile region for spodumene-bearing pegmatites within a prospective 5km corridor with notable historic intercepts of 24.4m at 1.43% Li2O from 10.9m, including 9.0m at 1.95% Li2O. The Project lies just 10km along strike from the Seymour Lake Lithium Project, owned by Green Technology Metals, which has defined a JORC reported Global Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resource of 9.9Mt grading 1.04% Li2O 2. The area has excellent all-weather infrastructure including road and rail connecting it with the regional centre of Thunder Bay.
