Project resources potentials
======================
Lithium King brine lithium project, Utah
Drill assays from Lithium King's close neighbor, Surge Battery Metals, reported a total of 120.4 meters averaging 3943 ppm lithium in four zones, including strongest individual sample interval (5950 ppm lithium between 13.72 to 15.24 meters).
NW Leinster hard rock lithium project, Ireland
The NW Leinster Project is focused on the exploration for hard rock lithium mineralization (spodumene pegmatites) in the north of the Leinster Massif in south-east Ireland. The project area is covered by 16 prospecting licenses termed the North-west Leinster Block which covers a total area of 529 square kilometer. The prospecting licenses were granted to LRH Resources Limited (a subsidiary of Technology Minerals) in October 2018 and are valid for an initial period of six-years from that date. GBML has an option agreement to earn 90%.
The NW Leinster Project is located at the north-east end of the East Carlow Deformation Zone (ECDZ) with licenses also located to the north of this zone in interpreted similar structural settings. To the immediate south-east, a 55km long zone of discrete lithium-bearing pegmatites and aplites, centred on the Aclare deposit was discovered during 1960s and 1970s near the contact of the Tullow Lowlands granite pluton with the Lower Palaeozoic metasediments which are considered genetically as well as spatially related to the ECDZ. The Aclare deposit is part of International Lithium Corp – Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd JV’s Avalonia Project. It is comprises of a 20 meter wide spodumene pegmatite zone with a historical resource estimate of 570,00 tonnes grading 1.5% lithium oxide. The strike length of the primary target zone is 550 meters with 2.23% lithium oxide over 23.3 meters, including 3.43% lithium oxide over 6 meters.
In March 2023 the company discovered up to six LCT (lithium-cesium-tantalum) pegmatite dikes extending across a prospective lithium trend at Prospecting Licence Area 1597 (“PLA 1597”). Drill cores of first batch of 4 targeted holes which show visible lithium mineralization have been completed and have been sent to the labs, drilling for the fifth hole of the planned 10 holes is underway. In addition to the Company’s ongoing drill program at Knockeen, a new and focused phase of associated exploration activities is in the advanced stage of planning and due to commence soon.
If commercially viable lithium deposits will materialize in Ireland, Ireland will be an important lithium supplier to Europe amid its EV revolution. Niall McManus, a sustainability consultant with EarthRoute and critical raw materials policy expert to the European Commission, has been engaged by GBML to help steward stakeholder relations and Social License development efforts related to the Company’s advancing interests in the Leinster Lithium Project, the enagement is a precursor to EU funding and program evaluation.
The demand for lithium is growing exponentially, Lithium metal production is expected to reach 134,700 tonnes versus 58,800 tonnes in 2020. Lithium demand will be driven by a surge in EV sales, with annual production expected to surge to 12.7 million vehicles in 2024, and a corresponding surge in lithium-ion battery production, which is forecast to rise to 410.5 GWh in 2024. The global Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market is valued at USD 8.81 Billion in 2020 and expected to reach USD 14.34 Billion by 2027 with the CAGR of 7.20%.

The Leinster property comprises of 16 Prospecting Licenses Area with 130,719 acres or about 529 square kilometers, so far only 1% of the property has been explored and drilled in PLA 1597 (Knockeen and Carriglead area) and 6 LCT pegmatite dikes have been identified. More will be discovered as the company expands its surface sampling.
Lithium–caesium–tantalum (LCT) pegmatites are enriched in Li, Cs, Ta, Be, B, F, P, Mn, Ga, Rb, Nb, Sn and Hf. Examples of major LCT pegmatite deposits include the Tin Mountain pegmatite in the United States; Tanco pegmatite in Canada, Altai Number 3 pegmatite in China; the Greenbushes, Wodgina and Pilgangoora pegmatite in Western Australia; Bikita pegmatite in Zimbabwe; Kenticha pegmatite district in Ethiopia; LCT and Spodumene pegmatite in Ireland.
Another large boulder of solid spodumene from our lithium project in Ireland, a fragment broken off from a gigantic spodumene pegmatite in the depth and protruded onto the surface in a geological upheaval.
Lester Kemp MBA, Chief Operating Officer of Technology Minerals, Global Battery Metals's joint venture partner, displayed a 20 kilogram of spodumeme from Kockeen-Carriglead property in Ireland at PDAC 2023 in Toronto on March 8, 2023 (PDAC - Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada).

My comment :
As of Tuesday, August 22, drilling of Hole Five (DDH-23-1597-05) has been completed and the drill core displayed in Twitter.com. CEO Michael Murphy is building up a dramatic tension with the drill core display in the social media which serves as another means of shareholder communication. The display is a foreplay to the release of drill assays from which the value of the project can be determined from the total core length drilled and the average lithium grade, then share price will find its true level. Right now share price is in the similar incubation status of the Universe before the "Big Bang" without life yet. When the stream of drill assays are released the picture will change drastically. GBML is like one of the 200 billion ordinary stars in the Milky Way, unnoticed by the public ........ until it becomes a supernova.
With the discovery of 6 LCT in PLA 1597 (Knockeen-Carriglead area) and with the 'district scale' expanded exploration, expect more spodumene pegmatites to be discovered in Aghavannagh, Sorrel, Tonygarrow, Scurlocks and Knocknaboley. It could rival the discovery of the 70 spodumene pegmatites in Patriot Battery Metals's Corvette property in James Bay. The area of GBML's property in Ireland spans 529 square kilometers, 2.5 times as big as Corvette property's 214 square kilometers. A spodumeme pegmatite is analogous to a gold vein with long intervals of high grade lithium rather than high grade gold.
Distinctive cases in the history of lithium exploration: The spodumeme pegmatites in Patriot Battery Metals's Corvette property are found to be as long as 3.7 Km, the spodumeme crystals are found to be as long as 10 meters in the Etta Mine, Black Hills, Pennington County, South Dakota, USA. If Ireland will host spodumeme pegmatites just a fraction of those examples, it will be commerically viable. The worth of the project is proportional to the number of spodumeme pegmatites discovered. A spodumeme crystal weighing 20 kilo grams are found in the Knockeen-Carriglead area, the fragment originated from a giant spodumeme pegmatite in the depth.
