Linear Minerals Drills 1.09 Percent Lithium Oxide Over 5 Meters at Augustus

ECONOMY 10.04.2025

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 10, 2025 / Linear Minerals Corp. ("formerly FE Battery Metals Corp") (CSE:LINE)(OTCQB:LINMF)(WKN:A2J C89) ("Linear" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results of Drill Holes LC24-98 and LC24-99 from 2024 exploratory drill program at its Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. The drill hole LC24-98 intercepted 0.39 percent (%) lithium oxide (Li2O) over 17 m at 61.50 m depth with three other smaller intercepts. The drill hole LC24-99 intersected 1.09 % Li2O over 5 m at 1.45 m drilled depth with additional smaller intercepts. There are anomalous values of other rare metals in both drill holes such as beryllium (Be), cesium (Cs), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta) and rubidium (see Tables 1 and 2 for details).

Highlights

LC24-98

The mineralization in four lithium zones is distributed mainly into pegmatites with spodumene as main lithium mineral, including a minor portion in the basement rocks with Holmquistite being the main lithium mineral. This hole was placed about 40 m step out from drill hole LC22 and was aimed at increasing the footprint of the main Augustus mineralized zone.
Four Key Intercepts:
- 17 m at 0.39% Li2O from 61.5 m depth, with 174 ppm Be, 65 ppm Cs, 48 ppm Ga, 65 ppm Nb, 91 ppm Ta, and 703 ppm Rb. The top four meters of this zone is a higher grade intercept with 1.01% Li2O.
- 5.35 m at 0.40 % Li2O from 104.3 m depth, with 267 ppm Be, 53 ppm Cs, 43 ppm Ga, 874 ppm Rb, 49 ppm Nb, and 145 ppm Ta.
- 2.75 m at 0.46% Li2O from 125.50 m drilled depth, with 213 ppm Be, 52 ppm Cs, 55 ppm Ga, 1,317 ppm Rb, 79 ppm Nb, and 143 ppm Ta.
- 8.50 m at 0.33% Li2O from 130.25 m depth, with 172 ppm Be, 42 ppm Cs, 54 ppm Ga, 1,042 ppm Rb, 79 ppm Nb, and 169 ppm Ta.
Nickel and Chromium mineralization:
- There are anomalous values of nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), lithium (Li) and cesium (Cs) detected in the top 40 meters in the basement rocks of this drill hole.

LC24-99

The mineralization in the main lithium bearing zone is distributed dominantly in pegmatites as spodumene mineral, and subordinately in the basement rocks with Holmquistite as the main lithium mineral. This drill hole was placed on outcrop 26 located to the southeast of the main Augustus zone and was aimed at increasing the footprint of the mineralized zone.
The Main lithium intercept is 5 m wide averaging 1.09% Li2O at from 1.45 m depth with anomalous values of 213 ppm Be, 55 ppm Cs, 58 ppm Ga, 1,680 ppm Rb, 96 ppm Nb, and 87 ppm Ta. There are other thin, lower grade lithium intercepts in this drill hole (Table 2).

Drill Program Details:

Drill hole LC24-98: Located at UTM NAD 1983 Zone 18N (5367902.8297N, 286909.844E), azimuth 39.92°, dip -50°, total depth 140m.
Drill hole LC24-99: Located at UTM NAD 1983 Zone 18N (5367434.412N, 5367763.27E), azimuth 166°, dip -79°, total depth 50m.

The drill program was designed based on historical and current exploration data. Drilling was conducted by Forage Pelletier Drilling of Chapais, Quebec, and core logging and sampling took place at a core shack in St-Dominique du Rosaire, approximately 50 km from the property. The 2024 drill program included 11 drill holes, totaling 1,558 metres. To date, a total of 100 drill holes have been completed on the Property, with a cumulative diamond drilling of 18,165.64 metres.

Drill core was sampled using a rock saw. For quality control and assurance (QA/QC), field duplicates, standards, and blanks were inserted at industry-standard intervals. Samples were bagged and tagged using best practices before delivered to AGAT Laboratories in Val-d'Or, QC, for analysis. AGAT performed Sodium Peroxide Fusion with ICP-OES and ICP-MS Finish (Code 201-378). AGAT is an independent, accredited laboratory with ISO certification for certain tests.
