**Kodal Minerals plc** has clarified that a reported increase in resources at its **Bougouni Lithium Project** remains **unverified and preliminary**.

The update follows a 2025 performance report from partner Hainan Mining Co. Ltd, which suggested an additional **15.47 million tonnes of spodumene resources**. Hainan holds a **51% stake** in the joint venture, with Kodal owning **49%**.

Kodal emphasised that the figure is based on an **internal estimate using 2025 drill data**, and has **not yet been independently audited or confirmed as JORC-compliant**.

While earlier drilling at the **Boumou prospect** pointed to potential resource growth, the company said **geological interpretation is still ongoing**, and a formal resource upgrade cannot be declared until **independent validation is completed**.

Any confirmed increase in the mineral resource estimate will be announced via RNS, though **no update is expected in the near term**.
