Linear Minerals Drills 1.00 Percent Lithium Oxide over 8.90 meters at Augustus
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 8, 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 LC24-97 of its 2024 exploratory drill program at its Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. The drill hole LC24-97 intercepted four lithium bearing zones of various grades and thicknesses, including an intercept of 1.00 percent (%) lithium oxide (Li2O) over 8.90 m at a drilled depth of 139 meters. Additionally, the hole returned anomalous values of other rare metals such as beryllium (Be), cesium (Cs), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta) and rubidium (Rb), along with anomalous nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) at various depths (see Tables 1 and 2 for details). LC24-97 Highlights The mineralization in four lithium zones is distributed in mixed lithologies of pegmatites with spodumene as main lithium mineral, as well as in the basement rocks with Holmquistite being the main lithium minerals. This hole was placed about 40 m step out from drill hole LC21-20 and was aimed at increasing the footprint of the main Augustus mineralized zone. Four Lithium Intercepts: 3.35 m at 0.82% Li2O from 10.15 m depth, with 714 ppm Cs and 1,550 ppm Rb. 4.25 m at 1.19% Li2O from 89.4 m depth, with 215 ppm Be, 61 ppm Ga, 369 ppm Rb, 79 ppm Nb, and 179 ppm Ta. 10 m at 0.67% Li2O from 97.4 m drilled depth, with 451 ppm Be, 1,206 ppm Cs, 57 ppm Ga, 4,178 ppm Rb, 49 ppm Nb, and 72 ppm Ta. 8.90 m at 1% Li2O from 139 m depth, with 288 ppm Be, 560 ppm Cs, 88 ppm Ga, 3,947 ppm Rb, 73 ppm Nb, and 87 ppm Ta. Drill Program Details: Drill hole LC23-97 was drilled at location 5367785.908N, 287015.498E, UTM NAD 1983 Zone 18N, at azimuth 28.31 degrees (true north) and dip -50 with a drilled depth of 161 m. The drill hole was placed at the main Augustus zone. 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.

Linear Minerals Drills 1.01 Percent Lithium Oxide over 18.1 meters at Augustus
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 2, 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 LC24-95 and LC24-96 from 2024 exploratory drill program at its Augustus Lithium Property in Quebec, Canada. The drill hole LC24-95 intercepted 0.46 percent (%) lithium oxide (Li2O) over 25.15 m at 88.45 m drilled depth. The drill hole LC24-96 intersected 1.01 % Li2O over 18.1 m at 49.9 m drilled depth with some other 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. Both drill holes intercepted three mineralized zones of various grades and thicknesses as summarized below (see Tables 1 and 2 for details). Highlights LC24-95 The mineralization in three lithium zones (upper, middle, and bottom) is distributed in mixed lithologies of pegmatites with spodumene as main lithium mineral, and the basement rocks with Holmquistite as lithium minerals. This drill hole is a step in from LC21-35 and was aimed to fill the gap in mineralization zone. The Upper lithium intercept is 25.15 m wide averaging 0.46% Li2O at 88.45 m drilled depth with anomalous values of 168 ppm Be, 194 ppm Cs, 35 ppm Ga, 822 ppm Rb, 29 ppm Nb, and 40 ppm Ta. The middle lithiumintercept is 4 m wide averaging 0.36% Li2O at 119.5 m drilled depth with anomalous values of 112 ppm Cs and 663 ppm Rb. The bottom lithium intercept is 13 m wide averaging 0.60% Li2O at 128.5 m drilled depth with anomalous values of 115 ppm Be, 135 ppm Cs, 41 ppm Ga, 1,411 ppm Rb, 53 ppm Nb, and 49 ppm Ta. LC24-96 The mineralization in three lithium bearing zones (upper, middle, and bottom) 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 about 100 m step out from LC21-19 and was aimed at increasing the footprint of the mineralized zone. The Upper lithium intercept is 18.1 m wide averaging 1.01% Li2O at 49.9 m drilled depth with anomalous values of 224 ppm Be, 46 ppm Cs, 51 ppm Ga, 378 ppm Rb, 64 ppm Nb, and 69 ppm Ta.
