• Drilling has intercepted interpreted spodumene in all drill holes at Bolt Cutter Central
• Metallurgical testwork is underway to assess suitability for Tabba Tabba processing
• RC drilling is planned to step out and infill the discovery for resource modelling

Wildcat Resources has completed a metallurgical drill program at its Bolt Cutter Central lithium discovery, located 10km west of its Tabba Tabba Project in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The three diamond drillholes were designed to provide lateral coverage across the stacked pegmatite system, with observations confirming the presence of coarse-grained spodumene and other lithium-bearing minerals. The primary focus of the metallurgical testwork is to assess the suitability of the pegmatite for processing through the existing Tabba Tabba flowsheet, but the applicability of a dense media separation (DMS) workflow will also be evaluated. Following the completion of the metallurgical program, diamond drilling at Bolt Cutter Central will continue to advance and expand the current discovery footprint. An RC drilling program is scheduled to commence in late Q1 2026 to accelerate exploration efforts, with the goal of progressing towards a maiden Mineral Resource estimate. Environmental studies and preparation of a Mining Lease Application have also commenced.

Wildcat will continue diamond drilling at Bolt Cutter Central to advance and expand the discovery, with an RC drilling program planned for Q1 2026 to further delineate the resource. Initial metallurgical testwork is underway, and the company is working towards a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Bolt Cutter Central project.
