Battery Age Minerals initiates key field surveys at El Aguila Project

High-grade historical gold and silver intercepts bolster confidence

Maiden drilling application expected by quarter-end

Battery Age Minerals (ASX:BM8) has launched significant geophysical and surface geochemistry programs at its El Aguila Gold-Silver Project in Argentina, marking a pivotal step in its strategic development pipeline. These early-stage programs are expected to pave the way for a maiden drilling application, targeting high-grade mineral structures identified from earlier exploration.

The current fieldwork includes comprehensive ground magnetic surveys and gradient induced polarisation (IP) surveys. These technical assessments are supported by systematic soil sampling efforts, which together aim to build a more detailed understanding of the subsurface mineralisation across the 9,124-hectare project area.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), a critical prerequisite for drilling activities, is now complete. It involved extensive biological and archaeological surveys, which began in March 2025. Battery Age Minerals anticipates submitting the final EIA documentation by the end of this quarter, aligning with its roadmap to commence drilling operations.

The company has cited previously recorded high-grade mineralisation as a strong indicator of the project's potential. Historical drill intercepts have reported up to 174.58 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold and 4,739 g/t of silver, reinforcing confidence in the asset's value. These figures suggest El Aguila holds significant untapped mineral resources, which the upcoming geophysics and geochemistry work is expected to better delineate.

The upcoming integration of results from ground magnetics and IP surveys will refine the targeting of high-grade mineralised structures. According to management, these insights are expected to directly inform the finalisation of the company’s maiden drilling application.

Battery Age Minerals, with a market capitalisation of $6.43 million, is focused on exploration across critical minerals and precious metals. With growing interest in battery-related resources and supportive local and government frameworks in Argentina, the project is well-aligned with future-facing commodities.

As the company positions itself for growth, its long-term value proposition could gain traction among investors exploring alternatives in the broader ASX dividend stocks space. The momentum from projects like El Aguila could eventually contribute to aspirations of recognition within indices like the S&P/ASX 200.

With foundational groundwork now underway and regulatory milestones nearing completion, Battery Age Minerals appears to be setting the stage for a transformative phase in its exploration journey.
