Financial highlights show a reduced nine-month net comprehensive loss of CAD 157,754 versus CAD 932,819 a year earlier and material reductions in operating cash outflows (Q3 2025 cash used CAD 31,313 vs CAD 119,701 in Q3 2024). Working capital surplus at Sept 30, 2025 was CAD 34,673 and weighted average shares outstanding were ~79.2M.

On KLP, GLC and partner Denison continue PFS work with DLE lab testing (three private labs plus Canmet), a completed depletion study that defines a 3–4 production‑well pad design with horizontal legs (~700m) per well, and a PFS target in H1 2026.

Kindersley Lithium Project ("KLP") Update

GLC, in partnership with our partner, Denison Mines Corp ("Denison"), continues to progress the various technical studies necessary for the completion of the pre-feasibility study ("PFS").   Areas of focus include extensive engineering analysis in cost minimization for lithium extraction from the brine to produce a final lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate product and secondly, how best to optimize depletion of lithium from the lithium-rich brines in the Duperow Formation.  Denison's experience with in-situ uranium extraction provides a specialized expertise in extracting valuable elements from brines or acids. 

Our brine was shipped to three different direct lithium extraction ("DLE") labs together with the federal government's Canmet research facility in Ottawa.  The lead author for the PFS, Stantec, will reflect the current understanding from lab results to determine the optimal technology for extracting lithium from the brine.  Technology companies continue to progress their DLE technologies through both field and lab work on a cost advantaged basis.  GLC and Denison officials will monitor and evaluate those efforts for possible future implementation in field pilots and commercial production for the KLP.  

The recently completed depletion study determined an optimized field configuration into the reservoir to maximize lithium recovery, minimizing costs and equally minimizing the environmental footprint through comprehensive three-dimensional reservoir modelling. This work benefitted from prior modelling efforts and field work conducted in 2022 and 2024 which gave valuable insights into the lithium prone reservoir within the Duperow zone. The current optimized plan includes the positioning of three to four production wells on each surface lease, drilled on an angle in orthogonal directions to maximize separation and exposure to the Duperow reservoir.  Each of the four wells maximizes reservoir productivity with two additional horizontal and parallel legs of 700 meters each drilled within the two separate layers identified as the best for porosity and deliverability.   This multi-well pad configuration is designed to reduce costs and footprint by minimizing pipeline infrastructure and optimizing well services while maximizing deliverability over an extended period of time. The PFS scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2026.
