("Bradda Head", "Bradda", or the "Company")
Unaudited Interim Results for the six-month period ended 31 August 2026
Bradda Head Lithium Ltd (AIM: BHL), the North America-focused lithium development group, is pleased to announce that it has today published its unaudited financial results for the six-months ended 31 August 2026.
The interim results have been posted on the Company’s website www.braddaheadltd.com.
Operational Summary:
- Entered into a definitive Option to Joint Venture agreement with Kennecott Exploration Company (“KEX”), a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, over the Whistlejacket lithium project;
- Completed a three-phase rock-chip sampling program, with 303 surface samples returning grades of up to 4.24% Li₂O at the Whistlejacket project;
- Commenced the Phase 3 drilling program, the first under Bradda Head, at the Whistlejacket project;
- Completed a PEG technical study, with the workflow identifying Dragon, Midnight Owl and Ruby Soho as high-priority lithium targets;
- Post period end, entered into a conditional agreement to acquire Uranium licences in Tanzania, complementing our core US lithium assets and diversifying Bradda Head into a critical mineral company.
The Company also completed a fundraise, raising total gross funds of £2.4 million, with certain Directors of the Company participating, through a direct subscription and exercise of share options, for total proceeds of US$ 1.1 million. This has strengthened our balance sheet and provided the Company with funding to complete its Phase 1 commitment at the Whistlejacket project.
Ian Stalker, Chair of Bradda Head, commented:
“As the summer ends, we look back on the significant operational progress we have made over the last six months. We entered a definitive Option to Joint Venture with KEX at the Whistlejacket project, secured exploration permits, completed extensive rock-chip sampling that returned grades up to 4.24% Li₂O, and commenced our first Phase 3 drilling programme. Early assay results have confirmed continuity of high-grade spodumene mineralisation. Parallel technical work by SRK at San Domingo has reinforced the quality of our priority targets, while we advanced lease renewal at Basin East and strengthened our U.S. battery-supply-chain partnerships.
In July 2026 we successfully completed a fundraise that raised total gross cash of £2.4 million, strengthening the Company’s balance sheet and providing the Company with funding to complete its Phase 1 Whistlejacket commitment.
Post period end, the Company entered into a conditional agreement to acquire six uranium prospecting licences in Tanzania, marking our diversification into a broader critical minerals company and complementing our core U.S. lithium assets.
Looking ahead, our focus remains clear: complete the Whistlejacket drilling programme with the objective of delivering an initial NI 43-101 technical report and, subject to results, a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate by the end of 2027; advance the high-priority targets at San Domingo; secure the Basin East lease renewal; and continue building strategic relationships across the domestic battery value chain. We will also look to complete the acquisition of the Uranium project in Tanzania, with the objective being to develop an exploration plan in the comings months.
With a strengthened balance sheet following the July 2026 fundraise, Bradda Head is well positioned to create value as the next phase of the lithium cycle unfolds.”

About Bradda Head Lithium Ltd.
Bradda Head Lithium Ltd is a North America-focused lithium development group. The Company's principal interests include the Basin Project, comprising Basin East and Basin West, and the San Domingo Project in Arizona.
The Basin East Project has a Measured Mineral Resource of 20 Mt at an average grade of 929 ppm Li, containing 99 kt LCE; an Indicated Mineral Resource of 122 Mt at an average grade of 860 ppm Li; and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 499 Mt at an average grade of 810 ppm Li. Together, these categories contain 2.81 Mt LCE. A plan of operations for the Basin West area was approved by the Bureau of Land Management in 2025, and the Company is progressing the associated Environmental Assessment.
The San Domingo Project comprises 248 claims covering approximately 1,850 acres, located primarily on Bureau of Land Management land, together with two Arizona State Land Department claims. To date, 108 drill holes totalling 13,089 m have been completed across three drilling campaigns. More than 1,000 pegmatites have been mapped across the project area; 18 have been identified as priority targets and six have been drill-tested. Two Notices of Intent are active, and updated drilling plans may be implemented once the required permits have been secured. The next exploration phase is intended to further delineate prospective areas and assess their potential to support a Mineral Resource Estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.
The Whistlejacket Project comprises nine Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits covering 2,010.7 hectares. The project is subject to a definitive option-to-joint-venture agreement with Kennecott Exploration Company and targets spodumene-bearing pegmatites. Kennecott's previous exploration included 19 diamond drill holes totalling 4,188 m, all of which intersected lithium mineralisation. Reported results include 51.0 m at 1.11% Li₂O in hole WSTL0009 and 19.47 m at 1.66% Li₂O in hole WSTL0008. Surface mapping, sampling, airborne geophysics and high-resolution aerial imagery have also contributed to the geological dataset for the project.
The Group intends to continue advancing its three principal projects in Arizona while seeking to realise value from its other prospective pegmatite and brine assets in Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania.

Unaudited Interim Report and Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the six-month period ended 31 August 2026
Chair's statement
Introduction
I am pleased to present the unaudited Interim Results for Bradda Head Lithium Limited (the “Company” or “Bradda Head”) for the six-month period ended 31 August 2026.
Operational review
The six-month period to 31 August 2026 has been one of meaningful progress for Bradda Head. Against a lithium market that has recovered from its 2025 lows but remains volatile, the Company has kept its focus on its highest-quality assets, secured the funding needed to move them forward and, for the first time, put a drill rig to work under Bradda Head’s own management at the Whistlejacket Project. At the same time, we continue to screen new opportunities, assessing each against the Company’s thresholds for potential economic feasibility before committing capital.
Whistlejacket Project
In early 2026, the Company entered into a definitive Option to Joint Venture agreement with Kennecott Exploration Company (“KEX”), a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, over the Whistlejacket Lithium Project. The project lies on Arizona State Land, approximately 80 km from San Domingo and 11 km from the Basin Project. Under the agreement, Bradda Head can earn a 51% interest by spending a minimum of US$5.5 million in Phase 1, with the option to earn a further 9% by spending an additional US$12 million in Phase 2.
Whistlejacket comes with a strong technical foundation. KEX’s previous exploration comprised 19 diamond drill holes totalling 4,188 meters, every one of which intersected lithium mineralization, including 51.0 meters at 1.11% Li₂O in WSTL0009 and 19.47 meters at 1.66% Li₂O in WSTL0008. Independent mineralogical work confirmed that the lithium is hosted predominantly in low-iron spodumene with encouraging Dense Media Separation (“DMS”) potential.
Following the Arizona State Land Department’s approval of exploration and drilling permits in May 2026, the Company and KEX formally established a Technical Committee to oversee exploration, and the first-year budget was approved. Bradda Head then completed a three-phase rock-chip sampling program, with 303 surface samples returning grades of up to 4.24% Li₂O. All samples showed low iron contents (below 1.0% Fe), and elevated tantalum, niobium, cesium and rubidium values confirm a well-fractionated LCT pegmatite system. This work refined the 2026 drill targets and identified several new prospective areas outside the current permitted footprint, including targets generated by the Company’s own exploration team.
The Company’s successful fundraise in July 2026 allowed us to secure an Arizona-licensed drilling contractor, and the Phase 3 drilling program, the first under Bradda Head, commenced in August 2026. The program is designed to infill and expand the mineralization defined by KEX and to support an initial NI 43-101 technical report and, subject to continued exploration success, a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) by the end of 2027. The first three holes all intersected broad zones of visible fresh spodumene, and in October 2026 the Company reported assay results from the first hole, WSTL0020. Highlights include:
- 31.8 meters at 1.07% Li₂O from 161.85 meters downhole, including a higher-grade interval of 20.47 meters at 1.33% Li₂O;
- two narrower pegmatites higher in the hole returning 2.49 meters at 1.07% Li₂O and 2.96 meters at 1.22% Li₂O; and
- a strong LCT pathfinder suite (Ta, Nb, Be, Cs, Rb) and low iron, consistent with the fresh, unweathered spodumene logged in the field.
These results confirm the continuity of the mineralized body previously drilled by KEX. The hangingwall and footwall mafic schists also host holmquistite, a lithium-bearing amphibole, with intervals of up to 2.62 meters at 0.83% Li₂O, which will be evaluated further as drilling continues. Assays for WSTL0021 and WSTL0022 and WSTL0023 are pending, and drilling continues to define the three-dimensional shape of the main mineralized body.
San Domingo Project
In May 2026, the Company announced the results of technical studies completed at San Domingo by SRK Consulting (UK) Limited (“SRK”), which applied SRK’s proprietary Pegmatite Evaluation from Geochemistry (“PEG”) workflow to whole-rock assay data from the Company’s historic rock-chip sampling and drill core. The study confirms San Domingo as a highly evolved and fertile LCT pegmatite system, with additional upside from cesium, tantalum and tin enrichment, and supports the presence of preserved primary spodumene mineralization, a key indicator of future resource potential and metallurgical performance.
The PEG workflow identified Dragon, Midnight Owl and Ruby Soho as high-priority lithium targets, consistent with the Company’s own prior analysis. Dragon and Midnight Owl stand out for their strong fractionation signatures and well-preserved spodumene, with drill hole SD-DH22-024 at Midnight Owl highlighted as one of the best-mineralized locations evaluated. Ruby Soho is considered sufficiently prospective to justify a maiden drilling program. All three targets hold BLM-approved Notice of Intent (“NOI”) drilling permits and are incorporated into the Company’s planned drilling programs. The Company intends to apply the PEG methodology across its wider Arizona pegmatite portfolio, including Whistlejacket.
Basin Project
The 20-year Arizona State Land Department (“ASLD”) mineral lease at Basin East is due to expire in 2026, and the Company has initiated the renewal process. As part of this, the Company has submitted a Mineral Development Report to the ASLD and is working with the department to confirm the next steps towards renewing the lease for a further 20 years.
Wikieup Project
The Company continues to maintain its position at Wikieup, an area that is attracting renewed attention, particularly with NTEC actively advancing the nearby Big Sandy Lithium Project.
Texas and Pennsylvania Brines
The Company continues to maintain its positions across the Texas brine space and has held discussions with a lithium-brine development company on options and potential collaboration for future work. These discussions remain high level and have not resulted in any agreement or memorandum of understanding. In Pennsylvania, the Company retains its position in the oil-brine asset and is evaluating opportunities to realize value from it.
Strengthening the U.S. Battery Supply Chain
In Pennsylvania, we signed an Accommodation Agreement with SunShare that allows a solar facility to be developed on approximately 140 acres in Lawrence County, while Bradda Head keeps its brine mineral rights. The agreement gives the Company near-term payments and moves our lease costs to the developer once construction begins. It shows that renewable energy and critical mineral development can share the same land, while keeping a potential future source of domestic lithium in our portfolio.
This long-term focus on U.S. lithium supply sits alongside our membership in the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (“DIBC”) and our partnerships across the U.S. battery value chain. These include our Memorandum of Understanding with Tyfast, a U.S. battery-technology developer. Our ambition is not only to supply domestically produced critical minerals, but also to support their integration into next-generation battery technologies, helping to build a more secure, vertically integrated U.S. supply chain from mine to cell.
Diversification into Uranium
Post period end, the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional, definitive and binding asset purchase agreement with US1 Critical Minerals Ltd (ASX:USC) (“US1”), to acquire six prospecting Uranium licences in Tanzania. This acquisition naturally extends Bradda Head’s strategy as it becomes a diversified critical minerals company. Uranium, like lithium, is vital to the energy transition and Western supply-chain security. The Tanzania licences deliver an established, exploration-ready resource at low upfront cost, with most consideration tied to milestones. The deal complements the Company’s core U.S. lithium assets, broadening exposure and diversifying risk, while the Arizona Whistlejacket project remains the primary near-term value driver.
Financial Review
During the six-month period ended 31 August 2026, the Company recorded a loss for the period of US$ 1,185,583 (period ended 31 August 2025: loss of US$ 727,268). As at period end, cash and cash deposit balances stood at US$ 2,565,085 (28 February 2026: US$ 870,221), capitalised deferred mining, exploration, licence and permit costs stood at US$ 15,103,339 (28 February 2026: US$ 14,591,479), and total assets were US$ 17,931,472 as at 31 August 2026 (28 February 2026: US$ 15,735,993).
During the period, the Company completed a fundraise, issuing a total of 101,477,529 new ordinary shares of no-par value for total gross proceeds of £2.28 million. Certain Directors of the Company participated in the fundraise, through a direct subscription and exercise of share options, for total proceeds of US$ 1.1 million, with 40,138,889 new ordinary shares being issued.
The outstanding convertible loan agreements were also converted into ordinary shares, with the carrying amount plus accrued interest of US$ 1,873,547.05 converting into 68,488,299 shares.
Approach to Risk and Corporate Governance
The Company’s general risk appetite is a moderate, balanced one that allows it to maintain appropriate growth, profitability and scalability, whilst ensuring full corporate compliance. Bradda Head’s risk appetite has been classified as high under an “impact” matrix defined as Zero, Low, Medium and High. Appropriate steps have been taken and adequate controls implemented to monitor the risks of the Company, and the appropriate committees and reporting structures have been established, which under the leadership of the Chair, will monitor risks facing the Company.
The Board of Bradda Head is committed to best practice in corporate governance throughout the Company. The Directors have agreed to comply with the provisions of the Quoted Companies Alliance (“QCA”) Corporate Governance Code to the extent which is appropriate to its nature and scale of operations, and we are reporting against the 2023 version of the Code for the first time this year. Details of the Company’s compliance with the QCA code can be found in the audited financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2026.
Strategy and Outlook
The past twelve months have been a reminder of how quickly sentiment in the lithium market can turn. After bottoming in mid-2025, prices recovered strongly through the first half of 2026, with battery-grade lithium carbonate in China reaching a two-year high of around CNY 200,000 per tonne in May 2026. The rally was driven by a combination of supply disruptions, most notably the suspension of CATL’s Jianxiawo lepidolite mine in China and Zimbabwe’s suspension of lithium concentrate exports in February 2026, and by demand from stationary energy storage that continued to outperform expectations.
Since then, the market has given back much of those gains. Higher prices brought idled capacity back online, including restarts at Bald Hill and Finniss in Australia, and Chinese carbonate and spodumene prices each fell by more than 20% over the third quarter. In mid-October 2026, Chinese lithium carbonate futures fell below CNY 110,000 per tonne for the first time since late 2025, as traders began to price in a potential supply surplus in 2027. Physical fundamentals, however, remain firmer than the futures market suggests: Chinese inventories fell by more than 40% between June and September, and several analysts expect prices to form a broad bottom over the coming quarter rather than revisit the lows of 2025.
The underlying demand story remains intact. Battery energy storage is now one of the most important drivers of lithium consumption, supported by grid investment, the growth of AI and data-centre power requirements, and the need for resilient electricity networks. The United States installed a record level of energy storage in 2025, and storage demand has helped carry the market through a period of slower electric vehicle growth in China and a more price-sensitive consumer in Europe, where the EU has moved to limit imports of lower-cost Chinese hybrid vehicles. Electrification across transport, industry and the grid continues to advance, and we expect demand growth to remain robust over the long term.
For U.S. projects, the policy backdrop has strengthened considerably. Lithium has been identified as a national-security priority, with the January 2026 Section 232 action on processed critical minerals, the U.S. Government’s equity-linked participation in Thacker Pass, the planned Project Vault strategic stockpile and expanded Export-Import Bank financing all signalling a clear intent to build a secure domestic supply chain. Arizona pegmatite projects on State and Federal land, close to infrastructure and to the growing battery manufacturing base in the U.S. Southwest, are well placed to benefit from this shift.
Investor appetite for junior lithium explorers remains cautious, with much capital attracted to precious metals and many explorers pivoting to other commodities. At the same time, consolidation is continuing, and strategic players are committing capital to long-term supply, as shown by recent acquisitions in Australia, Ganfeng’s investment in Lithium Argentina and long-term offtake agreements with major traders. We believe this environment will continue to separate well-funded companies with quality assets from the rest.
Bradda Head intends to stay the course and remain lithium focused. Following the July 2026 fundraise, the Company is funded to deliver its Whistlejacket drilling program alongside a world-class partner, with the clear objective of an initial NI 43-101 technical report and, subject to results, a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate by the end of 2027. In parallel, we will advance the priority targets at San Domingo, secure the renewal of the Basin East lease, and continue to build partnerships across the U.S. battery value chain. We will also look to complete the acquisition of the Uranium project in Tanzania, with the objective being to develop an exploration plan in the comings months.
We expect lithium prices to remain volatile in the near term, but we remain confident in the market’s long-term fundamentals and in the Company’s position to create value as the next phase of the cycle unfolds.

Going concern
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, taking into consideration the level of cash held by the Company.

The recoverability of the carrying amounts of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective area of interest, as well as maintaining the assets in good standing. The Group assessed the DMEC relating to areas for which licenses and permits are held, for impairment as at 31 August 2025. The Board concluded that no facts and circumstances have been identified which suggest the recoverable amount of these assets would not exceed the carrying amount and, as such, no impairment was recognised during the period.
During the year ended 28 February 2026, an impairment charge of US$ Nil was recognised.

4 Exploration permits and licences (continued)
The Group assessed the carrying amount of the licences and permits held for impairment as at 31 August 2026. The Board concluded that no facts and circumstances have been identified which suggest the recoverable amount of these assets would not exceed the carrying amount and, as such, no impairment was recognised during the period.
The Group assessed the carrying amount of the licences and permits held for impairment as at 28 February 2026. During the year, upon a detailed review certain project licences and permits that were no longer considered core, were not renewed, and thus an impairment charge of US$ 1,029,875 was recognised during the year ended 28 February 2026 (28 February 2025: US$ Nil). This doesn’t impact on the MRE defined over the Basin project, dated August 2024, and the Company remains positive about the prospects of the remaining licence and permit areas.

11 Borrowings and derivative financial instruments
On 23 January 2026, the Company entered into convertible loan agreements (“CLA”) with Galloway Limited (“Galloway”) and Promaco Limited (“Promaco”). Galloway is wholly beneficially owned by Jim Mellon, and Promaco is wholly beneficially owned by John Ian Stalker, both being directors of the Company. Each of these have been accounted for as a financial liability. The loan element has been carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, and the conversion feature has been classified as an embedded derivative liability, being the fair value of the conversion feature.
The table below presents the original principal amount of the CLAs issued during the year. These amounts represent the initial recognition of each instrument at the issue date, and have been subsequently allocated into their respective components in the financial statements, in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

══════
On 23 January 2026, the Company raised a total of US$ 1,775,000 from the issue of CLAs.
The terms of the CLAs are set out below:
- Unsecured 24-month facility (expiry being the "Maturity Date");
- Repaid amounts may not be redrawn;
- The outstanding balance of the CLAs (including interest) may be converted into new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at any time at the option of the lender;
- The amounts outstanding pursuant to the CLAs (including interest) will automatically convert into new Ordinary Shares concurrent with an equity financing by the Company to raise not less than £2 million (gross) prior to the Maturity Date (a “Qualifying Fundraise");
- Conversion Price equal to 90% of the 30-day volume weighted average price at close of trading on the last trading day prior to the date notice to convert the CLAs is proposed, if converted at the election of the lender, or a price equal to 90% of the price paid by investors participating in the Qualifying Fundraise;
- Amounts outstanding under the CLAs carry a 10% annual coupon, accruing monthly.
Term loan facility
On 25 September 2025, the Company entered into a short-term loan (“STL”) facility agreement with Galloway Limited, a related party. A summary of the terms of the are set out below:
- US$ 500,000 facility made available (no fees or set-off or contribution to costs);
- Drawn down at the request of the Company (subject to agreed use of proceeds with Galloway Limited);
- One year availability and repayment term;
- Unsecured;
- Interest at 12% per annum;
- Accelerated repayment if Company completes an equity fundraising during the term of the loan; and
- Standard events of default and warranties from both parties.
The total amount advanced under the STL plus accrued interest to 23 January 2026, was rolled into the CLA noted above.
11 Borrowings and derivative financial instruments (continued)
Embedded derivative liability
The CLAs issued during the year contain an embedded derivative financial liability (“DFL”). The DFLs arise from the conversion feature that allows the holder to convert the loan into a variable number of the Company’s equity instruments based on the Conversion Price, noted above. Due to the variability in the number of shares issued on conversion, the embedded derivative is classified as a financial liability, with the DFL initially measured at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value on the date if issue was determined using the Black Scholes valuation model, which considered the following variables:
- Expected share price volatility
- Risk-free interest rate
- Expected life of the instrument
- Potential share price on conversion
As at 31 August 2026, the carrying amount of the CLAs is as follows:
