Q BATTERY METALS CORPORATION
2023 EXPLORATION PLANNING,
LA CORNE SOUTH LITHIUM PROJECT, QUEBEC
March 16, 2023, Vancouver, BC – Q Battery Metals Corp. (“Q Battery Metals ” or the “Company) (CSE:
QMET, OTC: BTKRF, FRA: 0NB) is pleased to provide their exploration plan for 2023. The company will be
concentrating exploration on their lithium projects , in particular the La Corne South Lithium project
located north of Val d’Or, Quebec. The explo ration work will involve a combination of prospecting,
mapping and rock sampling, combined with soil sampling and geophysical surveying. Exploration is slated
to begin in April 2023.
Exploration on the La Corne South project will include;
• Prospecting, mapping, rock sampling
• Geophysical ground surveys (resistivity)
• Soil sampling over target features
• Trenching and,
• Diamond drilling best targets
The La Corne South lithium project is located in an area of the Abitibi Greenstone belt of rocks that is
host to numerous deposits and mines. In particular, the area around the La Corne Batholith hosts 16
documented lithium showings and two deposits. Nine lithium projects are located within 20 kilometres
(km) of the La Corne South project, including North American Lithium (NAL) mine (Sayona Mining-
Piedmont Lithium Joint Venture) with associated spodumene concentrator, located 11 km NW of La
Corne South. The NAL mine is currently in the process of restarting operations.

Nine km to the north of the La Corne South project, Sayona Mining and Jourdan Resources are planning
an extensive diamond drilling program for 2023 to expand the Vallee Lithium deposit (Jourdan news
release March 7, 2023). The reader is cautioned that lithium resources that exist on properties outside
of the Q Battery Metals claims are not direct indicators of lithium mineralization on the claims.
The Q Battery claims were staked over the La Corne Bathol ith and contacting volcanic rocks. The claims
cover 10 kilometers of the La Corne Batholith contact. The batholith periphery will be the primary focus
for lithium exploration in 2023.
La Corne South Exploration 2023
On the Q Battery claims, recently u ndertaken data review of historic work indicates the presence of
pegmatitic rocks with elevated lithium from rock sampling and drill testing (see news release dated March
7, 2023). Initial exploration will concentrate on the Boily-Berubé mineral showing where elevated lithium
(468 ppm Li) was returned from 2021 rock sampling undertaken by Q Battery Metals.
One kilometer north of the Boily-Berubé showing, in 2004, Falconbridge ( Noranda Inc. ) completed
diamond drill hole FIE 15-04-01 where core sampling returned up to 333 ppm lithium (186.1-187.6 metres
depth, see news release dated March 7, 2023). Lithium was not the targeted element during these
previous exploration programs, and most historic drill holes did not analyze core for lithium.
The initial phase of 2023 exploration on the La Corne South will be to prospect, map, and sample the area
of 2021 rock sampling that returned elevated lithium and the contact to the La Corne Batholith. The Boily-
Berubé showing has been prospected primarily for molybdenum (GM16255) with discovery of elevated
molybdenum and bismuth in quartz -feldspar “veins”. In 1989, trenching and prospecting (GM49151)
uncovered vein material at five locations in proximity to the Boily-Berubé showing. The veins were tested
for molybdenum and copper. The reader is cautioned that historic trenching and drilling results reported
by previous operators have not been verified by Q Battery Metals.
Q Battery Metals is currently cont acting geophysical consulting companies to undertake a resistivity
survey over the target area on the La Corne South project. Resistivity surveying is demonstrated as capable
of mapping pegmatite within the host volcanic rocks. Prior surveying undertaken b y Q Battery Metals
included magnetics and conductivity surveys. The results of these surveys will be remodelled for features
that might indicate pegmatite bodies. Follow-up to the geophysical surveying will include rock sampling
of any available outcrops, and soil sampling in areas of cover. The company plans to trench and drill the
most prospective targets delineated from the 2023 exploration program.
Q Battery Metals is prepared to drill test the best targets that are derived from the exploration work.
Drilling could be undertaken summer 2023.
Q Battery Metals exploration programs undertaken in Quebec are supervised by Dr. Mathieu Piché, OGQ,
with office located north of Val d’Or. He is also a Q Battery Metals company director. The company has
100% interest in mineral claims within Quebec and British Columbia, with exploration targeting strategic
and precious metals.
