RNS Number : 0591I Bradda Head Lithium Ltd 19 November 2025
19 November 2025
Bradda Head Lithium Ltd
("Bradda Head", "Bradda", or the "Company")
Unaudited Interim Results for the six-month period ended 31 August 2025
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 2025.
The interim results have been posted on the Company's
website www.braddaheadltd.com (http://www.braddaheadltd.com) .
Operational Summary:
· Received notice of acceptance for the amended Exploration Plan of
Operation at Basin West, covering both Arizona state and Bureau of Land
Management ("BLM") lands;
· Commenced writing of the Environmental Assessment for the Basin West
project, which is required for the BLM to review and approve;
· Completed surface reconnaissance over clay exposures on newly
acquired land at the Wickieup project, following a claim exchange with Arizona
Lithium;
· Released results of a mineral particle ore-sorting study on a
spodumene composite ore sample from San Domingo's 2023 core drilling.
Preliminary bench-scale results indicate the ore is suitable to ore sorting
enhancement, offering significant potential cost savings during mining
construction and operation.
Ian Stalker, Chair of Bradda Head, commented:
"As summer ends, the Company is optimistic about the future of lithium and is
positioned to ride the upcoming wave of momentum through its quality and
diverse portfolio. Lithium prices have stabilized and are witnessing a steady
increase as supply lines have tightened and mine permitting in China
temporarily postponed operations at some key producers. Advances continue in
the lithium oil-brine space in Arkansas and Texas with large acquisitions and
mergers, highlighting long term commitments to developing lithium in the USA.
Our strategy is to maintain a lean and nimble experienced team with focused
exploration efforts on the identification of opportunities within our own
portfolio whilst also examining the potential acquisition of new projects;
whether they're open for staking or joint venture. All permits are in hand for
San Domingo to advance this project, whilst further permitting continues on
Basin West where the final stages of the Environmental Assessment permit are
being fine tuned for delivery to the BLM, once our internal consultants
finalize important reviews.
The Company continued discussions with a lithium oil brine development
company, ongoing through the summer, to potentially acquire or lease our
properties in Texas and Pennsylvania and,while these discussions remain at a
high level, we are encouraged by the direction of the discussions.
Lastly, the Company continues looking for high quality lithium projects to
complement San Domingo and has been conducting regional prospecting on
pegmatites not previously described on geologic maps or in historic
literature. There is optimism a new, unknown lithium bearing pegmatite could
be hiding in plain sight, only to be discovered with diligent field
examination. The team maintains its commitment to discovering a new pegmatite
swarm in Arizona which is proximal to our existing projects."

Unaudited Interim Report and Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements
For the six-month period ended 31 August 2025
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 2025.
Operational review
The six-month period to 31 August 2025 has been challenging but we remain
positive. The Company sees gradual and steady improvements in the lithium
markets and continues to focus our efforts on key projects and to ensure the
Company is ready to advance quickly when the market changes. The Company is
also seeking new opportunities, constantly assessing if they merit acquisition
and meet Company thresholds of potentially becoming economically feasible.
Basin Project
During April 2025, the Company received notice of acceptance of the amended
Exploration Plan of Operation ("EPO") at Basin West, both in the state of
Arizona and on Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") lands. The amended EPO at
Basin West includes changes to build drill pads and construct new access
routes to the area. The Company has initiated the writing of the EA
(Environmental Assessment) which is required for the BLM to review and approve
but also will be open for public comment and further scrutiny. While we could
have pursued the Fast-41 permitting route (a 15-day process) as a means of
pushing through the EA, dialog with the Kingman BLM settled upon the
finalization of the EA process directly with them to avoid potential lawsuits
and receive priority status. Prior to sending the draft EA to the BLM, we will
have our internal environmental consultants review for accuracy but feel
confident this is the correct course.
Bradda Head's Chief Operations Officer, Joey Wilkins, and Bradda Head's
geologist, Brendan Fenerty, spearheaded the Company's contribution to a
publication released in the Society of Economic Geologists by members of the
Arizona Geological Survey, in collaboration with Bradda Head, on the article
titled: Geology, Geochemistry, and Potential Origins of
the Basin Volcano-Sedimentary Lithium Deposit, Kaiser Spring Volcanic Field,
Northwestern Arizona, U.S.A.
Wikieup Project
The Company completed surface reconnaissance over clay exposures on the new
land acquired in the claim exchange with Arizona Lithium. The work confirms
the widespread presence of green to tan clays that resemble those surrounding
the Big Sandy resource, thus proving the land swap enhanced the Company's
opportunity to expand exploration drill targets in the clay environment.
Arizona Lithium Corp, prior owners of the Big Sandy clay resource, have sold
their interest to NTEC, the Navajo Transitional Energy Company, and New Mexico
based tribal group that develops energy through the mining of coal, but have
limited experience in lithium.
San Domingo Project
During April 2025, the Company released the results of a mineral particle
ore-sorting study announced in October 2024. The program was conducted on a
spodumene composite ore sample from San Domingo's core drilling in 2023, and
was supervised by ABH Engineering Inc.
The interpretive and preliminary bench-scale results indicate the spodumene
ore is amenable to ore sorting enhancement, which can provide significant
potential cost savings during mining construction and operation, as well as
identifying a low water usage quick and efficient route to sustainable
operation
Highlights from the study include:
· Results are indicative of potentially producing an in-country direct
shipping spodumene ore after particle mineral sorting and separation of wall
rock and waste material;
· Waste product containing virtually 0% Lithium, a sellable aggregate
product for the local Arizona infrastructure demand;
· Intermediate product containing low grade lithium would be
stockpiled for further treatment;
· Recommendations to implement a Phase 2 test with a representative
bulk sample (300-500kg);
· Examine economic optimization including potential stockpiling;
and
· Lowering resource cut-off grade.
Following this, the Company received approval of bonding on Notice of Intent
("NOI") drilling permits at San Domingo, in the state of Arizona and on Bureau
of Land Management ("BLM") lands.
Highlights include:
· Bond approval on the Dragon NOI by the BLM to build 37 drill pads
on the North and South targets;
· Bond approval on the San Domingo North NOI by the BLM to build 35
drill pads on the Ruby Soho, Midnight Owl, and Lone Giant targets; and
· Acquired a mineral lease for 160 acres of Arizona State Lands at San
Domingo where new outcrops of spodumene bearing pegmatites were discovered.
Exploration Opportunities
Regional reconnaissance has been extended beyond the property boundaries at
both San Domingo and Basin with a program looking for new opportunities in
pegmatites and clays throughout Arizona. New target areas were identified
through detailed review of governmental datasets that include geochemical
surveys and mineral/mine localities. The work has led to the identification
and detection of large belts of pegmatites and sedimentary basins containing
clays worthy of field examination. The reconnaissance style field work
encountered lithium-anomalous clays and pegmatites with beryl and muscovite,
but none containing significant spodumene. Additional areas of pegmatites have
been identified further to the northern part of Arizona, but yet to be
examined pending a more robust budget. These new areas are of interest as
competitors are active in the area searching for REE's, revealing the
potential for a mineral-rich belt.
The Company examined a spodumene-bearing property in North Carolina within the
well known Spodumene-Tin belt and in proximity to Kings Mountain (Albemarle),
but decided it was too small for acquisition, and commercial terms couldn't be
reached with the owners.
The Company has reviewed lithium brine properties in Nevada that offer unique
characteristics with potential synergies to the Wilson and Eureka brine
projects, with evaluations ongoing at a high level.
Texas Brines
The Company continues to maintain positions throughout the Texas brine space
and has been engaged with a lithium-brine development company discussing
options and potential collaboration for future work. Discussions are purely
high level and have not resulted in any agreements or MOUs.
Pennsylvania Brines
The Company continues to maintain our position with the Pennsylvania oil brine
asset and is evaluating various opportunities to realise value.
Financial Review
During the six-month period ended 31 August 2025, the Company recorded a loss
for the period of US$ 727,268 (period ended 31 August 2024: profit of US$
2,176,472). As at period end, cash and cash deposit balances stood at US$
87,197 (28 February 2025: US$ 1,086,596), capitalised deferred mining,
exploration, licence and permit costs stood at US$ 15,609,912 (28 February
2025: US$ 15,421,152), and total assets were US$ 16,004,701 as at 31 August
2025 (28 February 2025: US$ 16,779,135).
Post period end, the Company entered into a short-term loan facility agreement
for US$ 500,000 with Galloway Limited, a related party and significant
shareholder. The funding was provided in connection with the undertaking made
by Galloway Limited as noted in the audited statutory accounts for the year
ending 28 February 2025 to provide support for the Company to maintain its
good standing and will be used for general working capital purposes.
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
for Small and Mid-Size Quoted Companies (2018) to the extent which is
appropriate to its nature and scale of operations. Details of the Company's
compliance with the QCA code can be found in the audited financial statements
for the year ended 28 February 2025.
Strategy and Outlook
The lithium market appears to have levelled off and stabilized while numerous
mines in China ran into permitting issues that temporarily "bumped" prices of
lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. The global markets remain relatively
stable with European countries continuing their "buying-in" mentality to
reduction of carbon footprint through the purchasing of EV's but appear to be
looking for cheaper models, some originating from China. USA-eligible EV's
have seen an uptick in sales as tax credits and incentives came to an end on
September 30. Battery storage maintains a steady pace throughout the minor
fluctuations in EV sales, essentially carrying the lithium market through the
dip. Battery storage is highly underrated and could carry the depressed EV
sales through the next few years as it provides some states and regions of the
world with intelligent energy storage to deal with climate fluctuations and
occasional "brown-outs" from power facilities.
Retail buyers and institutional investors remain on the lithium sidelines
while heavily distracted by surging precious metal prices. Natural and logical
M&A continues as does the transition of lithium explores to other
commodities, whereas Bradda maintains the course and remains lithium centric.
While the lithium prices have bottomed and incurred pressure on both explorers
and suppliers, the demand for electrification across all industries has not
diminished and steady growth will resume. This is also a time for M&A,
which should filter-out lower quality projects and companies without capital,
which places Bradda Head in a key position as we have conserved our treasury
by trimming back expenditures while maintaining a strong and experienced team.

future sales from its lithium clay assets. The Company has effectively sold 2%
of its capitalised deferred mine exploration costs to date, with this
adjustment being recorded to reflect this.
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 2025, an impairment charge of US$ Nil was
recognised.
