Bolt Cutter Lithium Project
Project Overview
The Bolt Cutter Central Lithium Project is located ~10km to the west of the Tabba Tabba Project in WA’s Pilbara region. It is an early-stage greenfields exploration project with lithium mineralisation associated with swarms of lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite dykes hosted in a granodiorite unit and remains open in most directions.
Maiden reconnaissance RC drilling commenced in July 2025, leading to the discovery of the Harry and Hermione Pegmatite Swarms. The tenement package was bolstered by a tenement acquisition concluding in August 2025 in which Wildcat received full ownership and exploration rights to E45/5416, located only 2.3km from the Tabba Tabba Project and immediately adjacent to the new discovery.
Wildcat considers Bolt Cutter Central to be a key component of the Company’s two-pronged strategy of exploration and development, with organic growth from discoveries such as Bolt Cutter Central, located within trucking distance to the Tabba Tabba Project, providing a clear pathway for integration into broader development plans. This approach has the potential to support the establishment of a major new lithium mining and processing operation in WA’s Pilbara.

Geology
Gold occurrences in the region are commonly sediment- or intrusion hosted and associated with anticlinal axes, particularly where they intersect major fault or shear structures. The highly prospective Berghaus Shear trends in a north-easterly direction and looks to have provided fluids for the formation of the Hemi Deposit. In addition to the Berghaus Shear, anticlinal axes trend in a parallel orientation with multiple splays off the Berghaus Shear intersecting the anticlinal axis providing areas of interest. Similar settings may be replicated in the Wildcat tenement package.
The Berghaus shear zone is comprised of a suite of parallel shears and contains the Mt Berghaus deposit and the smaller Cookes Hill gold deposit held by De Grey Mining. There has been minimal previous exploration within Wildcat’s tenure along what has been demonstrated as a fertile structure.
Transported cover occurs over much of the Bolt Cutter tenure and hindered earlier explorers, with conventional surface sampling techniques not suitable for exploration. Wildcat plans to utilise geophysical interpretation to test defined prospective zones with targeted aircore drilling.
