#SWT | Barrenjoey forecasts a sharp #Lithium market recovery in 2027.

With lithium now drill-confirmed at Kaboré and 7 exploration targets at Tiassalé, Switch has exposure to a potential sector rebound alongside its core #Tantalum strategy. 🇨🇮

#SWT Issia is no longer just a #Tantalum story.

Kabore adds drill-confirmed #Lithium to our shallow coltan resource work.

Tiassalé gives us a second lithium project, where operators backed by Chinese lithium majors are active.

🔸Several programmes now running in parallel

[Switch Metals plc @SwitchMetals]

#SWT Maiden Issia drilling confirms lithium discovery at Kabore

🔹14m at 1.02% Li₂O from 42m inc. 7m at 1.75% Li₂O
🔹Best metre 2.63% Li₂O
🔹Coltan (Ta + Nb) in all 4 Kabore holes assayed

First 7 of 34 holes reported. 27 still to come. Full RNS:

#SWT 📍Maiden hard rock drill programme. Map below.

34 holes across the Badinikro pegmatite corridor:

🔹 Kabore: 30 holes. Spodumene #lithium discovery, grades to 2.8% Li₂O
🔸 Zraty: 4 holes. High-grade #tantalum pegmatite, up to 1,230 ppm Ta₂O₅

Assays pending

#SWT Tiassalé adds scale to the #Lithium portfolio🇨🇮

Multiple targets identified across 990 km², including 3 priority anomalies

With Issia RC drilling results expected shortly & MRE advancing, Switch is proving it is not a single-asset story

#SWT Issia pitting confirms shallow #Coltan mineralisation down to 5m, with occurrences trending toward mapped pegmatites.

Infill work will improve confidence, link pits and grades, and support stronger resource classification.

[Switch Metals plc @SwitchMetals]

#SWT Issia is creating strategic optionality 🇨🇮

CEO Karl said Switch has received inbound approaches from groups across different jurisdictions, including industry players as well as traders.

The Company can keep advancing Issia while deciding the right partnership route.

#SWT Kaboré keeps strengthening ahead of drilling 🇨🇮

🔹Repeated sampling returned up to 2.8% Li₂O
🔹XRD confirmed #Lithium is hosted in #Spodumene
🔹Soil work has traced the anomaly to 1.3km

CEO Karl Akueson: “It doesn’t mean it doesn’t go beyond.”

[Switch Metals plc @SwitchMetals]

#SWT CEO Karl on Issia MRE-1: “beyond our expectations”

XRF screening indicates #Coltan mineralisation across 54% of the first target area - a 1.35km² footprint.

Mineralisation is being seen horizontally and vertically, and trends towards mapped pegmatites.

#SWT On drilling Zraty at Issia 🇨🇮

CEO Karl noted historical hard-rock #Tantalum cut-offs around 100 ppm Ta₂O₅.

Zraty returned up to 1,230 ppm Ta₂O₅ at surface, a grade he called “exceptional”.

🔹A high-grade surface target entering its first drill test

[Switch Metals plc @SwitchMetals]

#SWT CEO Karl on what may still be overlooked 🇨🇮

Issia not just a shallow #Tantalum MRE story.

🔹MRE-1 Phase 1 in staged resource plan
🔹First-ever drilling now tests pegmatite upside
🔹Wider portfolio still to be highlighted

[Switch Metals plc @SwitchMetals]

#SWT 🎥 CEO Karl joined @that_stocks_guy to discuss Issia moving from discovery to definition 🇨🇮

🔹54% of MRE-1 shows #Coltan mineralisation
🔹Infill pitting aims to improve resource confidence
🔹Zraty + Kabore drilling tests hard-rock Ta/Li upside

#SWT Issia Project: Tantalum Resource Programme Update 🇨🇮

🔹XRF screening confirms coltan mineralisation across 54% of MRE-1 target area - surface footprint of 1.35 km²
🔹Highest-grade zones correlate with pegmatite outcrops, validating hard-rock upside
🔹Priority samples awaited from independent labs
🔹RC drilling results from Kabore & Zraty expected in near term

🎥 #SWT Behind the scenes at Kaboré

RC drilling in action at the hard-rock #Lithium pegmatite target at Issia, drill testing a 1.3km anomaly with surface grades up to 2.8% Li₂O.

Updates to follow

#Tantalum #CriticalMinerals

[Switch Metals plc @SwitchMetals]

#SWT Rig now turning at Kaboré 🇨🇮

RC drilling at Zraty completed & samples being dispatched to laboratory.

The rig has now moved to Kaboré, testing the hard-rock #Lithium pegmatite system below surface for the first time.

1.3km anomaly. Up to 2.8% Li₂O at surface.

#SWT Maiden drill programme commences at Issia 🇨🇮

🔹RC drilling underway at Zraty, surface samples up to 1,230ppm Ta₂O₅
🔹Kabore next - a 1.3km anomaly, spodumene up to 2.8% Li₂O

Maiden tantalum MRE at advanced stage.

[Switch Metals plc @SwitchMetals]

#SWT Drilling has commenced at Issia 🇨🇮

A 2,500m maiden RC programme is now testing Zraty #Tantalum and then Kabore #Lithium, targeting hard-rock extensions beneath surface discoveries.

In parallel, maiden tantalum MRE-1 is at an advanced stage.
