Global Battery Metals Provides La Poile Lithium Project Update; Announces 2023 Field Reconnaissance in Newfoundland to Begin in July

17.07.2023  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, July 17, 2023 - Global Battery Metals Ltd. (TSXV: GBML) (OTCQB: REZZF) (FSE: REZ) (the "Company" or "GBML" or "Global Battery Metals"), an international critical mineral exploration company focused on growth-oriented lithium and battery metal projects, is pleased to provide an update on its La Poile Lithium Project in Newfoundland.

GBML announces the start of 2023 field reconnaissance at the La Poile Property is set to commence later this month. The La Poile Property consists of 320 claims encompassing approximately 80 km² in southwestern Newfoundland (see Figure 1), approximately 35 km from the Golden Hope property jointly held by Sokoman Minerals Corp. and Benton Resources Inc. Alliance which recently announced intersecting 1.22% Li 2 O over 13.37 m at their Killick Zone.

Initial exploration of the La Poile Project began in 2022 with a focus on an area of siliciclastic sediments known for its high lithium values in till samples. During a preliminary late-season prospecting survey, several pegmatite dikes were discovered and sampled, but were not found to be Li-bearing. While limited, the overall prospecting efforts within license #33417m were successful in identifying at least one occurrence of a potential pegmatite dike swarm. Another area of interest was located to the far north within license #33415m.

This summer's more comprehensive program will allow GBML's team to spend adequate time revisiting existing prospects and gathering key geological information about the mineralogy, host rocks and structure. The findings will guide the subsequent steps of the exploration program, including the identification of priority areas for further exploration.
