QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
For the quarter ended 30 June 2025
SUMMARY
OPERATIONS
• Phase 2 reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Alkali
Flats project completed:
o 10 holes completed for 1,664 metres.
o Targeted lithography intersected in drilling.
o 8 of 10 drill holes intersected targeted Siebert
Formation clay zones.
o Assay results pending.
• Maiden RC drilling program at Fairway project
completed.
o 5 holes completed for 515 metres.
o Assay results pending.
• Summit project desktop data review completed.
• Strategic assessment of Fulcrum’s project portfolio
and other opportunities in progress.
The Directors present the June 2025 Quarterly Activities
Report for Fulcrum Lithium (Fulcrum or the Company)
and its controlled entities (the Group).
OPERATIONS
Nevada Lithium Projects (100% owned)
The Company owns a 100% interest in the following lithium exploration projects located on
Federal public lands owned and administered by the United States government:
•
•
•
the Alkali Flats lithium project comprising 2,276 lode claims (approximately 190 km2);
the Fairway lithium project comprising 327 lode claims (approximately 27 km2); and
the Summit lithium project comprising 160 lode claims (approximately 13 km2).
The unpatented lode claims include rights to all locatable subsurface minerals and, under
current law, ownership of an unpatented lode claim is maintained by the owner paying an
annual mining claim maintenance fee of US$200 per claim each year on 1 September.

ALKALI FLATS
Phase Two Drill Campaign
Analysis of results from the Alkali Flats Phase 1 drilling program encouragingly confirmed
the presence of a claystone-hosted lithium mineralisation system in the Seibert Formation
within the Alkali Flats Basin. The lithologies and claystone thicknesses intersected in the
Phase 1 drilling program indicate that the south-east corner of the Alkali Flats claims is not
the optimal basin setting for expanded thickness of lithium-bearing claystones.
2
Fulcrum’s basin analysis, including the Phase 1 drilling data, surface outcrop mapping and
interpretation of publicly available geophysical data (e.g. USGS gravity data) has directed
exploration focus towards the northern and western areas of the basin which the Phase 2
drill program targeted (Figure 2). Siebert Formation claystones host in excess of 60 million
tonnes of reported lithium carbonate equivalent resources at several deposits in nearby
third-party projects.
Figure 2. ALKALI FLATS 2025 SURFACE GEOLOGY MAPPING AND
PHASE TWO DRILL FOCUS AREAS
During the quarter, the Company completed the Alkali Flats Phase Two drill program.
The drilling program, comprising 10 RC drill holes averaging 166 metres depth on spacing
generally ranging from 1,500 - 2,500 metres testing different prospective parts of the basin
(Figure 3), commenced on 5 June 2025 and was completed on 18 June 2025.
Together with the Alkali Flats Phase One drilling program, this is the first third dimensional
geologic data known for the Alkali Flats project area.
Based on RC drill logging, 8 of the 10 drill holes intersected Siebert Formation clay zones.
The drilled thickness of the clay zones varies from hole to hole and assay results will
determine the success of the drill program in intersecting lithium mineralisation.
Assay results are pending.

FAIRWAY PROJECT
The Fairway project comprises 327 lode claims, an area of 27 km2 located in the Fish Lake
Valley, Nevada, USA (Figure 1).
Maiden Drill Campaign
Following on from the encouraging geological mapping and sampling campaign in February
2025, the Fairway Project’s maiden drill program was completed during the quarter.
The drilling program, comprising 5 RC drill holes averaging 103 metres depth on spacing
generally ranging from 1,500 - 3,000 metres testing different prospective parts of the basin
(Figure 4), commenced on 18 June 2025 and completed on 24 June 2025.
Based on RC drill logging, 4 of the 5 completed drill holes intersected modest clay horizons,
however, hole stability issues and strong water influx while drilling prevented the drill rig from
reaching the planned depths of several holes.
The drilled thickness of the zones varies from hole to hole and assay results will determine
how successful the drill program was in intersecting lithium zones.
Assay results are pending.

SUMMIT PROJECT
The Summit project comprises 160 lode claims, an area of 13 km2 located in the Lida Valley,
Nevada, USA (Figure 1).
Based on the previously reported results of the geologic mapping and sampling program
across the Summit project, a decision has been reached not to maintain ownership of the
Summit project lode claims beyond 31 August 2025.
