Review of Operations
During the half year, FBM accelerated exploration at the Coolgardie Lithium Projects and divested the Nevada Lithium
Project.
The Group’s operating profit for the period ended 31 December 2024 was $183,735 (2023: loss of $3,494,423).
FUTURE BATTERY MINERALS LIMITED: INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT − 31 DECEMBER 2024

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FBM’s focus during the period was on the exploration and advancement of its Coolgardie Lithium Projects,
strategically located in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia. The projects continue to hold significant upside
potential for new discoveries and resource growth, located in one of the world’s premier mining regions and proximal
to existing road, utilities and processing infrastructure.
In addition, the Company continued to advance its proactive business development approach, assessing new gold
and lithium opportunities in the W.A. Goldfields. This included the application for additional tenements in both
August 2024 and subsequent to end of the reporting period in January 2025. Preliminary evaluation of select new
tenements has highlighted robust gold and lithium prospectivity, which warrants follow-up exploration.
The Company also successfully divested the Nevada Lithium Project in Nevada, USA for a cash consideration of A$4
million. The sale of Nevada aligned with the Company’s sharpened focus on its W.A. Goldfields portfolio, allowing for
FBM to deliver maximal leverage to the belt-scale prospectivity in these assets.
FBM remains well-funded to undertake all planned exploration activities through 2025 and beyond, while continuing
to assess potential new project opportunities in Western Australia.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Coolgardie Lithium Projects, Western Australia
Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project (KHLP) – 100% FBM
The Kangaroo Hills Lithium Project (KHLP) is a recent and exciting hard rock lithium discovery located in the
Goldfields region of Western Australia, approximately 17 km south of the township of Coolgardie. Spodumene
mineralisation within lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites was discovered during regional exploration
drilling in late 2022.

Phase 4B results
Building on previous exploration success achieved with step-out drilling of the flagship Big Red pegmatite during the
Phase 4A programme, FBM commenced its Phase 4B drill programme in May 2024. The key objective of the Phase 4B
program was to test for further northern extensions of the Big Red pegmatite, particularly the updated interpretation
of a north-north-easterly dip/plunge direction. Drilling was completed by mid-June, comprising 19 holes for 3,109m.
On 9 July 2024 all Phase 4B results were announced (see key results in Figures 3-5).
FUTURE BATTERY MINERALS LIMITED: INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT − 31 DECEMBER 2024

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Further extensions to the Big Red and Potoroo pegmatites
The drilling successfully extended the shallow, thick, high-grade Big Red pegmatite by a further 200m to the northeast, taking Big Red’s footprint to over 600m (from pegmatite outcrop to northern most drill hole intercept KHRC194).
Importantly, the overall dip of the Big Red pegmatite appears to be shallowing to the north, averaging closer to -20°
around KHRC194. This results in the intercept in KHRC194 being at a vertical depth of around only 100m, i.e. still
relatively shallow, and with the pegmatite remaining thick, well-mineralised and still open to the north (with a
dip/plunge observed at approx. 015°).
While not specifically targeted as part of the Phase 4B program, the Potoroo pegmatite was intercepted within
KHRC193, returning 10m @ 0.93% Li2O from 91m, including 5m @ 1.19% Li2O, piercing the pegmatite approximately
80m south of KHRC178.
This result suggests potential thickening, and increasing of grade, to the north where the Potoroo pegmatite remains
open. The combination of the Phase 4A and 4B drill programs delineates the known footprint of Potoroo to over
250m.
Additional scissor drilling directed to the east in Phase 4B (drill holes KHRC180 and KHRC196) intercepted a thick
pegmatite unit up to 36m (KHRC196) down hole thickness, named Big Red East. This pegmatite is discontinuous to
Big Red, however the presence of this thick pegmatite near known mineralised pegmatites means it remains highly
prospective, delivering the potential for additional discovery. KHRC196 hosts a low-level Li anomalism with a peak
assay of 0.27% Li2O from 102m (down hole). While low grade and below the 0.3% cut off for reportable significant
intercepts, this result suggests that economic levels of lithium mineralisation may potentially further develop at
untested locations within this pegmatite.
Next steps at KHLP
Prior to testing for further extensions of Big Red to the north, and in refinement of prospective regional targets at the
KHLP, the geological team is conducting detailed modelling of the various mineralised and unmineralized pegmatite
systems discovered to date at the KHLP. This work takes into consideration all drilling and mapping completed to
date, building out detailed geochemical and geophysical signatures of the various pegmatites, including regional
targets. It is designed to further refine and derisk the planned future drilling of regional prospects at the KHLP.
A Program of Works (PoW) is in place at KHLP for future extensional drilling programs targeting the near-surface,
shallow dipping, thick and high-grade Big Red and Potoroo discoveries, where mineralisation remains open at
relatively shallow depths.
Kangaroo Hills Mining Lease Application
FBM continues to advance the Mining Lease (ML) application at KHLP. The ML application overlies both the Big Red
and stacked Rocky pegmatites, along with regional targets, Eastern Grey, Wallaroo and Pademelon. The application
also allows area for future infrastructure and advancement of the KHLP as a regionally significant lithium
development.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Miriam Lithium Project – 85% FBM
The Miriam Lithium Project (Miriam) covers an area of approximately 6.0 km by 1.5 km and comprises four granted
Prospecting Licences (PL) (P15/6136 to P15/6139 inclusive) and one PL application (P15/6135). It is located
approximately 10 kilometres south-southwest of Coolgardie and immediately north and contiguous to KHLP.
FBM’s strategic acquisition of an 85% interest in Miriam was completed in May 2024, expanding its regional position
to the north of the KHLP. Historic rock chip sampling on the tenement had returned up to 1.85% Li2O, with further
rock-chip sampling of the original reported spodumene-bearing outcrop returning 2.0% Li2O.
A subsequent detailed geochemical soil sampling programme revealed a primary lithium target of approximately 1.6
kilometres in strike length, along with a second trend spanning approximately 600 metres, linking the main
pegmatite trend. This large lithium soil anomaly, extending from the weathered (depleted) outcrop of spodumenerich pegmatite, indicates the potential for additional spodumene-bearing pegmatites under the surface cover.
Pegmatite targets identified
Southern Geoscience was engaged to undertake a detailed review and reinterpretation of the existing airborne
magnetic and radiometric data over Miriam. The review has facilitated the development of a new litho-magnetic
interpretation of bedrock geology at a detailed 1:10,000 scale.
The review identified 13 discrete targets characterised by significant east-west structures that intersect the
underlying greenstone lithologies. These structures are analogous to the Big Red pegmatite at KHLP, located
approximately 2 kilometres south, and are associated with coincident resistivity and gravity low anomalies. Notably,
five of these structures aligned with the previously defined 1.6 kilometre north-south strike soil anomaly and
outcropping spodumene-bearing pegmatite.
The geophysical review involved reprocessing existing public-domain airborne magnetic and radiometric data (with
a 50-metre spacing), identifying demagnetisation or breaks in the serpentinised basalt and ultra-mafic lithologies
where pegmatites characterised by a lower magnetic response may have intruded. This approach has previously
proven successful at KHLP and has the potential to yield similar results at Miriam.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Figure 6: Miriam reinterpreted geology and target areas
Extensional soil sampling program delivers suite of new high-potential targets
In September and October 2024, FBM conducted a wide-spaced extensional soil sampling programme at Miriam,
designed to test for potential blind, subsurface pegmatites, extending further north into the tenure (refer Figure 6).
Where previous soil sampling activities at Miriam were limited to just 2.6 km of the tenure’s approximately 6 km northsouth extent, this program expanded the soil sampling grid at Miriam by a minimum of approximately 700m further
north and up to 2.3 km further north in the northwestern area, all within areas now covered by heritage surveys.
FUTURE BATTERY MINERALS LIMITED: INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT − 31 DECEMBER 2024
10
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The extensional soils program was completed on a 40m sample spacing by 100m line spacing grid, resulting in the
retrieval of over 400 samples. The program followed on from the previous soil program conducted by Corazon Mining
Ltd in 2023, which only tested the southern portion of Miriam, where outcropping spodumene pegmatites were
present. While sampling had only tested the southern end of the tenure, it was identified that a building lithium
anomaly was present on the final northernmost lines of the survey.
Assay results identified a 750m north-south anomaly (an approximate 450m extension of this previously identified
anomaly) that coincided with geophysical structural targets while also revealing four other areas of robust Li
anomalism across the sampled area (refer Figure 6). Pleasingly, these areas overlapped with established geophysical
targets.
Analysis of the soil assay results highlighted that the typical regolith at Miriam contained levels of lithium in the
<10ppm range. Utilising this value range as a baseline, anomalous areas have been defined by increased lithium
concentrations. The sampling discovered five zones with continuous results ranging from 25 to 40ppm Li within the
survey area. This anomalous range correlates with previous sampling conducted in the south, which covered known
LCT pegmatite outcropping and spodumene occurrences, and is considered a reliable Li dispersion indicator
proximal to a primary source.
The five new anomalous zones potentially indicate the presence of additional sub-surface LCT pegmatites, which
may be further tested and validated through drilling.
Option agreement executed to acquire existing Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) over Miriam
FBM executed an option agreement to acquire the existing 2% NSR royalty over Miriam (which covers all mineral
rights/products). In exchange for the payment of an option fee of A$60,000, the agreement grants FBM a 12-month
period in which it can exercise the option to acquire the NSR royalty via the payment of a further A$65,000.
Initial RC drilling programme at Miriam
Preparations are well advanced for FBM’s initial RC drilling program at Miriam, with the PoW submitted for approval.
Ground gravity results expected during Q1 calendar 2025 are expected to assist with refining initial drill hole
locations. Drilling is scheduled to commence later in H1 calendar 2025.
A key focus of the programme will be the +1.5 km soil anomaly that correlates with both spodumene outcrops and
recent geophysical targets at the southern end of the Miriam tenure. This initial drilling will deliver critical data on
the thickness and orientation of the mineralised system, forming the foundation for subsequent drilling programmes
to delineate the expanding system.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Expanded Regional Footprint – New Lithium and Gold Opportunities
In August 2024, FBM staked and submitted applications to the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and
Safety (DEMIRS) for two (2) Exploration Leases and five (5) Prospecting Leases totalling approximately 65km2.
These new applications are part of FBM’s broader exploration strategy, targeting provincial-scale opportunities in
gold mineralisation as well as additional Lithium Caesium Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite discoveries surrounding the
Company’s Coolgardie Lithium Projects (refer Figure 7).
Three separate project-scale land parcels were staked being Kal North, KHLP West and KHLP North. FBM conducted
an initial evaluation of the three land parcels, utilising both public domain data for historical exploration works and
field-based ground truthing, which included mapping and rock chip sampling. An initial evaluation was completed
post end of the reporting period, with summary results released to the ASX on 22 January 2025.
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, FBM announced it had applied for further tenure including one (1)
Exploration Lease and two (2) Prospecting Leases for an additional 45km2 of strategic landholdings in the W.A.
Goldfields.
These initiatives have resulted in two land parcels being staked at the newly coined Burbanks East and Nepean South.
These tenements are strategically located in close proximity to FBM’s Coolgardie Lithium Projects (Kangaroo Hills
and Miriam).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Kal North (100%)
The Kal North project consists of one exploration lease application totalling an area of 27.9km2 located 45km
northeast of Kalgoorlie.
Following a preliminary evaluation of existing exploration data which included a historic vacuum sampling
programme, FBM identified numerous +10ppb Au surface anomalies in areas of residual soil and thin transported
cover within the lease area. These anomalies warrant further follow-up work. In late 2024, FBM’s geology team
conducted a field reconnaissance mapping and sampling exercise of Kal North, investigating these anomalous zones.
Numerous rock chip samples were collected from the tenement, with lithologies including surficial quartz veining
and calcrete. Importantly, FBM found no evidence of historic drilling or “testing” of the identified gold soil anomalies.
Subsequent rock chip assays from the field trip returned numerous low order anomalous results, with a peak result
of 41ppb Au from a quartz sub crop sample. Further work will be required to establish drill targets.
FBM will look to advance the tenement grant and will commence negotiations with the relevant native title parties
regarding a Heritage Protection Agreement (HPA). FBM will also collate available geophysical data to improve drill
hole targeting. Granting of the tenure is expected following completion of the relevant HPA’s.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Burbanks East (100%)
FBM has submitted two prospecting applications (P15/6924 and P15/6925), over a 2 km2 area directly east (~2km) of
the Burbanks Mine (current resource 466koz @ 2.4g/t Au) owned by Horizon Minerals (ASX: HRZ), located
approximately 2.5 km from Miriam and 7 km from Kangaroo Hills.
The applications over Burbanks East cover an area of surficial elevated gold anomalism, based on historical data
(2007) collected by Barra Resources Ltd. Sampling was designed on an 80m x 200m grid. Aside from a wide-spaced,
non-targeted aircore (AC) drilling program conducted in 1996, the tenement area has not seen any recent exploration
activity since the mid-2000’s. The AC results were limited, with most of the area remaining untested. However, the
drilling did intersect numerous low-order mineralised zones, including an intersection of 4m @ 0.31g/t Au from 56m.
Initial ground investigations did not locate any significant sub-cropping or outcropping mineralisation for sampling.
Further investigation will focus on areas of highly elevated surficial gold soil anomalism to better determine the
source and potential of the tenement. Burbanks East is strategically located along strike from both Miriam and
Kangaroo Hills, with significant potential for the ground to host sub-surface LCT pegmatites.
In December 2024, it was announced that the Burbanks gold processing plant had been conditionally acquired by
Auric Mining Limited (ASX:AWJ), highlighting the Coolgardie belt’s strategic interest and value for both lithium and
gold. FBM has commenced an initial investigation of gold potential in the area through a comprehensive review of
available magnetic geophysics scheduled in Q1 2025.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Nepean South (100%)
An exploration lease application, E15/2109, was submitted for a large 43km2 area located approximately 6 km south
of Kangaroo Hills. The lease area covers a 3.5 km southern displacement of the Nepean greenstone unit, with limited
gold exploration completed to date. Historic soil sampling and AC drilling data was collated, confirming limited gold
exploration completed to date. Modern surface geochemical methods or drilling have not been utilised in the area.
FBM plans to commence preliminary ground investigations targeting gold mineralisation across the tenement in Q1
2025.

KHLP North and West
Following preliminary ground investigations and historical data review, FBM elected to relinquish its tenement
applications for KHLP North and KHLP West subsequent to the end of the half. This efficient, data-driven approach
aligns with FBM’s dynamic strategy to focus on a high potential exploration and business opportunities in the
Goldfields region.
