TEA Tearlach Resources Limited

Tearlach Resources Limited (“Tearlach” or the “Company”) (TSXV: TEA; OTC: TELHF; FRANKFURT: V44) announces intersecting thick zones of claystone stratigraphy in twin and step out holes with total holes depths of up to 140m (460 feet), which host the lithium mineralization, and drilling an expanded area of 5 km x 3.2 km, previously discovered by Black Rock Silver Corp (TSXV: BRC), at the Gabriel Project in Tonopah area Nevada. The Company also announces it will not be proceeding with the brokered private placement financing announced on March 2, 2023.

Drilling Update:

• The Company’s project is near one of the largest known lithium deposits** in America, American Battery Technology Company, who very recently announced this. As well as next to American Lithium Corp’s TLC project.
  • https://americanbatterytechnology.com/press-release/one-of-the-largest-known-lithium-deposits-in-us-identified-at-american-battery-technology-company-tonopah-flats-property-inferred-resource-estimated-through-s-k-1300-compliant-study/

• Six core holes have been completed, of which laboratory analysis for two (2) are being rushed. The drill core for five (5) of the holes has currently been submitted to the ALS Laboratory facility in Reno, Nevada, and assay results are pending.
• Four (4) of the six (6) holes have twinned original Black Rock Silver’s holes.
• The remaining two (2) drilled holes are step-outs located in prospective areas of the property.
• All drill holes have intersected mappable claystone stratigraphy.
• Drilling of the 19-hole program is ahead of the forecast schedule as core recovery and penetration rates are higher than predicted.

Morgan Lekstrom, CEO of Tearlach, comments, “The Company believes that it is in the best interest of our shareholders not to proceed with the financing announced on March 2nd, 2023. Our current financial position allows us to complete the existing work programs due to the cost decrease and drilling rate increase that our world-class geology and drilling team has been able to achieve. This is an important step for Tearlach in becoming a major player in the lithium space in the USA and Canada.” He added, “The Tonopah lithium belt is quickly gaining worldwide prominence as both our neighbours, American Lithium Corp. and American Battery Technology, have established their lithium deposits as two of the largest in the United States.** Early drilling at Gabriel suggests significant mineralized potential. The sheer size potential of this area and the recent size of the resources in the Tonopah area between American Lithium and ABML, to which we adjoin and are near, signifies that this is becoming the largest and premier lithium hub in America.** Our ability to execute in such short timelines and accelerate drilling programs makes this the ideal time to continue building off the BRC original discovery.”
