Battery Age Minerals (ASX:BM8) completed staking for an additional 9km2 of contiguous mineral claims at its Falcon Lake Project in Ontario, Canada.

The expansion increases the company's total landholding to 60km2 while extending coverage 7km along strike to the east.

Previous drilling at Falcon Lake delivered high-grade lithium intercepts, including 54.1m at 1.74% lithium oxide from 100.85m down-hole.

Assays across the property also returned critical mineral concentrations, including rubidium up to 11,400 parts per million and tantalum up to 2,300 parts per million.
