This inaugural Drill Program has been approved for up to 10 drill holes.Phase 1 drilling is focused on Prospecting License Area 1597 (the \"Knockeen Prospect\") and will comprise four drill holes for approximately 1,000 metres of diamond core drilling. The drilling will take place across previously announced prospective lithium pegmatite trend targets which includes the historically reported trenched bedrock occurrence which is coincident with several highly anomalous LCT Pegmatite (lithium-cesium-tantalum pegmatite) geochemical trends. This, in conjunction with the broad spodumene pegmatite boulder train at surface, has been interpreted to indicate the presence of up to six potential dikes.The Drill Program has received all necessary government approvals through the Geoscience Regulation Office (GSRO) which covers all aspects of environmental best practice procedures. This is carried out through the detailed Appropriate Assessment Screening Programme which was approved in April.\"Europe and the US are both pushing for lithium independence and continue to seek out viable parties that can deliver the full package - future access to high-grade domestic lithium supplies through partners that understand and appreciate all of the geopolitical and commercial considerations at stake,\" said Michael Murphy, CEO of Global Battery Metals. \"This will most definitely include battery metal companies operating in the junior mining space that can execute against resource delivery and relationship management with equal intensity. We look forward to continued progress at Leinster and with the associated business discussions all underway.\" The results of Phase 1, including all metallurgical testing and other exploration activities comp...
