QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
For the quarter ended 30 September 2025
SUMMARY
OPERATIONS
• Results from Phase 2 reverse circulation drilling at
Alkali Flats define a significant lithium discovery:
o Lithium mineralised claystones (>300ppm)
intercepted in all holes that penetrated the
Siebert Formation with thicknesses up to 112m.
o Assay results include:
10.7m at 904ppm Li in AF2-4
6.1m at 938ppm Li in AF2-10
o Large aerial extent of mineralisation of at least
9km2. Mineralisation open in all directions.
• Controlled-Source Audio-Frequency
Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) geophysical survey
completed to map potential extensions of lithium
claystone discovery.
• Project is now in an appraisal phase:
o Enhanced geological modelling and internal
grade-tonnage estimates initiated.
o Initial metallurgical work program commenced.
o Planning work for Phase 3 drill campaign
commenced.
• Strategic assessment of Fulcrum’s project portfolio
completed:
o New Alkali Flats project claims staked and filed,
focused on the above exploration results.
CORPORATE
• Project success based Performance Rights
granted to the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.
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 Project (100% owned)
The Company owns a 100% interest in the Alkali Flats lithium project comprising 793 lode
claims (approximately 66km2) located on Federal public lands owned and administered by
the United States government.
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
Focused on the discovery intersected in Phase 2 drilling campaign, on 1 September 2025,
the annual maintenance fees were paid for 512 lode claims covering an area of 43km2.
Fulcrum’s drilling programs have delivered the first third dimensional data known for the
Alkali Flats project area, providing valuable geologic understanding of the lithology and
structure of lithium deposition in the basin, and have enabled the preparation of an enhanced
geologic model of the Alkali Flats project (Figure 4). High quality data from the CSAMT
geophysical survey (see below) will be integrated into the geologic model to provide more
3D structural and lithological definition.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter and based on the results from the Phase 2 drilling
campaign and initial geophysical survey data, the Company has completed the staking and
filing process with the Esmeralda County for a further 281 unpatented lode claims to expand
the footprint of the Alkali Flats project to 66km2.

Phase 2 Drill Campaign
The drilling program, comprising 10 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes averaging 166
metres depth on a grid spacing generally ranging from 1,500 - 2,500 metres, was designed
to test the Siebert Formation - the regional claystone host for lithium deposits.
The Alkali Flats Phase 2 drilling program intersected Siebert Formation clay zones in 8 of
the 10 drill holes at an average depth of 42m depth, ranging from as shallow as 17m to a
maximum alluvial overburden of 100.6m being intercepted. Drilling shows that the Siebert
Formation geology comprises predominantly claystones, with an interbedded mixture of
volcanic tuffs and minor amounts of tuffaceous volcaniclastic sands and gravels.
The thickness of claystones intersected in the Siebert Formation in the 8 holes ranges from
27m to 175m, averaging 82m and can be generally correlated in a lower and an upper zone.
4
Assays for the 8 holes that intersected the Siebert Formation have been received and
confirm that all 8 holes intersected zones of elevated lithium mineralisation, above 300ppm.
The highest zones intersected are:
• AF2-2: 70.1m @ 629ppm Li with internal values up to 975ppm Li
• AF2-5: 53.4m @ 735ppm Li with internal values up to 1067ppm Li
• AF2-10: 67.1m @ 644ppm Li with internal values up to 1077ppm Li
• AF2-1: 22.9m @ 611ppm Li with internal values up to 882ppm Li
• AF2-4: 16.8m @ 801ppm Li with internal values up to 1024ppm Li1

(4X VERTICAL EXAGGERATION)
The results from Phase 2 drilling at Alkali Flats present the discovery of lithium
mineralisation, over at least a 9 km2 area, displaying significant grade, thickness and lateral
extent to justify further infill and extension drilling to work towards defining a future maiden
JORC resource.
Mineralisation remains open in all directions.

Geophysical Survey
Subsequent to the end of the quarter and guided by the results from the Phase 2 drilling
program, Fulcrum has completed a 25km Controlled-Source Audio-Frequency
Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) geophysical survey which has provided high quality interim data.
The CSAMT survey was completed to map potential extensions of lithium claystones
intersected in the Phase 2 drilling and to assist the optimal planning of drill hole locations in
the upcoming Phase 3 campaign.
The final dataset from the CSMAT survey is pending completion of the final processing flow.

FAIRWAY PROJECT
The Company completed a 5 RC drill hole program designed to test the Fish Lake Vally
Formation which is the local Siebert Formation equivalent for lithium deposits.
Hole stability issues and strong water influx while drilling prevented the drill rig from reaching
the planned depths of several holes, however, drilling only intersected modest clay horizons
and only 1 of the 5 holes drilled intersected zones of lithium mineralisation greater than
300ppm Li.
Based on these drilling results, and despite the restricted depths penetrated, the Company
believes the Fairway project has been definitively tested for prospectivity and a decision was
reached not to renew the Fairway project lode claims on 1 September 2025.
SUMMIT PROJECT
A comprehensive geological mapping and sampling program was completed across the
Summit project. All 26 samples collected returned assay results less than 175ppm Li
indicating no significant lithium mineralisation in the outcrops sampled.
Based on these results, a decision was reached not to renew the Summit project lode claims
on 1 September 2025.
CORPORATE
ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company has issued 4,000,000 Performance
Rights under the Company’s Incentive Performance Rights Plan (Plan) to the Company’s
Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Scott Keenan.
The Performance Rights are subject to vesting conditions including the definition of JORC
compliant Resources and completion of a Scoping Study supporting a positive Final
Investment Decision at a Company project and are designed to align the Chief Operating
Officer’s and shareholders’ interests.
USE OF FUNDS AND EXPENDITURES
The Company provides the following information with respect to its use of funds in its
supplementary prospectus.

No expenditure was incurred during the quarter on mining production and development
activities.
During the September quarter, the aggregate amount of payment to related parties and their
associates totalled $83,000 of payments to Directors or Director related entities for Directors’
consulting fees and $62,000 for management fees and rent.
