Voltaic Strategic Resources Ltd ('Voltaic' or the 'Company') is pleased to provide an update for the central and northern extents of the Ti Tree Project which overlay the northwestern end of the 'Volta corridor and are proximal to Delta Lithium's 'Malinda' and 'Jameson' prospects.

Geologically, the TTN tenement is highly prospective as it overlays the same granitic sub-pluton 'F4' of the Thirty Three Supersuite granite that is interpreted to be the parental source for Li mineralisation at Yinnetharra.

Structurally, parts of TTN reside within the opposing strain shadow of F4 and may act as a trap for mineralisation.

These areas are deemed a high-priority target for subsequent exploration efforts. According to historical reports and Mines Department records, numerous mineral samples were collected in the 1950s from historical workings and outcrops within the vicinity of TTN and donated to the Museum of Western Australia. These specimens include the 'April Pegmatite', which is proximal to F4 and contains lepidolite, beryl, and tourmaline, which are all associated with LCT pegmatites. The Company has initiated planning for a comprehensive regional surface geochemical exploration program within TTN. This encompasses soil sampling, mapping and aircore drilling through shallow cover, with the objective of refining prospective targets for a follow-up RC drill campaign.

Interpretation of regional magnetic data suggests that prospective Leake Spring Metamorphic (LSM) schists and mafic dykes that host mineralisation at both 'Jameson' and 'Malinda' extend on to the TTN project area and will be confirmed with the upcoming exploration campaigns.

Voltaic Chief Executive Officer Michael Walshe said the Company is excited to commence detailed work programs at TTN which is a new frontier for LCT exploration in the region. 'We are now extending focus to the northern tenement E09/2522 which has some of the most prospective geology across the entire Ti Tree Shear Zone (Volta Corridor)' he said. 'With a historical lithium occurrence to build from, we will soon commence an extensive regional soil survey which aims to delineate LCT element trends and provide key vectoring data for subsequent drilling programs' Mr Walshe said. 'A maiden aircore (AC) drill program will be carried out to aid the identification of the prospective LSM schist in areas of shallow cover which has been conceptually identified from magnetic data. Confirmation of an expanded LSM schist target area would be highly significant as all lithium mineralisation identified in the region to data has been within this lithology' he said. 'Follow-up campaigns at TTN will focus on the adjoining extensive greenstone / mafic belt that underlays much of the Volta corridor and which are commonly associated with globally significant lithium resources' Mr Walshe said.
