Loyal Lithium Limited announced that field work is now underway at the Trieste Lithium Project, targeting high-priority areas in collaboration with Dahrouge Geological Consulting (DGC). Capitalising on the lifted government forest fire restrictions, the Company has launched an intensified exploration program with the involvement of up to 16 personnel and 3 helicopters. This comprehensive inaugural field program aims to collect 1,720 prioritized samples.

A pre-emptive drilling permit, based on high-priority targets, has been prepared to facilitate a swift transition to drilling upon obtaining positive field results. Positioned strategically just 14km East of Winsomes' Adina Lithium Project in the highly prospective Trieste Greenstone Belt, the Trieste Lithium Project offers significant potential, bolstered by Loyal Lithium's status as the region's largest landholder. Loyal Lithium's summer field program is a prioritised and comprehensive prospecting, outcrop rock chip and glacial till sampling initiative.

The program's prospecting focus is high value targets that were identified through the inputs collected and assessed during the Canadian winter of 2022/2023. The abundance of historical and new data collected by Loyal Lithium has directed the Company's efforts towards the highly prospective northwest zone, which encompasses a volcanic mafic "greenstone" beltand a large pegmatite-de-tilly intrusive to the south of the greenstone belt. Additionally, a smaller zone in the southeast features comparable geological occurrences.

These zones are shown categorised in the figure below as first order of priority. The extensive prospecting program aims to collect rock chip samples from the prioritised areas. The first priority is to complete systematic and closely spaced traverses in the NW zone, focusing on the high-value targets.

Soil and glacial till will also be sampled on traverses across the Tilly intrusive, situated south of the greenstone belt, and in the areas with limited historical mapping, located east of the greenstone, where extensions of the structure are interpreted to occur. Furthermore, the first priority southeast zone will also have systematic and closely spaced traverses conducted due to the historical observation of crystal structures with a pegmatite among the greenstone. The objective of the comprehensive till sampling program is to collect samples of the high priority targets, utilizing a tight sample grid due to the potential for the occurrence of Lithium-bearing pegmatites.

Wider-spaced lines will be used to detect signals across the rest of the property. A tight sample spacing will be deployed along the sampling grid lines to better locate any anomalous source(s). If any anomalies are detected across the regional (wider-spaced) sample lines, they will be considered for a subsequent sampling program.

Loyal Lithium's extensive winter program has informed the design of this comprehensive summer program. Inputs such as a regional/local geological assessment, historical data review (outcrop, geochemical, till, and lake samples), high-resolution aeromagnetic analysis, and multispectral analysis have all been essential inputs and will enable focused and efficient exploration techniques are utilized at the highly prospective Trieste Lithium Project.
