# Global Battery Metals Reports Knockeen Lithium Pegmatite Trenching Results, Including 2.55% Li2O Sample at Just Two Metres Depth Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/global-battery-metals-reports-knockeen-lithium-pegmatite-trenching-results-inclu--a95d19f2-5d98-40a9-b6af-851bb9c98699 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/GBML/news/7096420014740548/global-battery-metals-reports-knockeen-lithium-pegmatite-trenching-results-inclu Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2023-12-12T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Global Battery Metals Ltd. - Ticker: GBML - Exchange: TSX - Region: Ireland - Primary commodity: Lithium - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-12 07:41:49 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Global Battery Metals has reported trenching results from the Knockeen area of the Leinster Lithium Project in Ireland, featuring lithium grades as high as 2.55% Li2O in 1m trench samples and 3.00% Li2O in grab samples. The shallow mineralization confirms the presence of a spodumene pegmatite dike system at near-surface levels. Reasoning: Trenching results confirm high-grade lithium \(up to 2.55% Li2O\) at very shallow depths \(1-2m\), supporting the continuity of the spodumene pegmatite dike system. - Positive factor: High-grade near-surface lithium intercepts - Positive factor: Consistency of mineralization along the dike - Positive factor: Confirmation of spodumene presence in trenching Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions QA/QC protocol including blind standards, blanks, and duplicates. Evidence · text > QA/QC protocol which includes the insertion of blind standard reference materials, blanks, and duplicates **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 2.55% Li2O is exceptionally high for the project context. Evidence · text > grading as high as 2.55% Li 2 O ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.
