Q PRECIOUS AND BATTERY METALS

2024 Fall-Winter Exploration Planning

LA CORNE SOUTH PROJECT, Val d’Or Quebec

October 22, 2024, Vancouver, BC – Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. (“QMET” or the “Company”) (CSE: QMET,

FRA: 0NB, OTC: BTKRF) is pleased to provide an update of exploration planning for 2024 the fall-winter period at

their La Corne South project located north of Val d’Or, Quebec. The planning is proposed as a follow-up from the

results of core samples taken from the three holes completed to date.

Three drill holes that have been completed to date were designed to test a coincident TDEM conductor and

magnetic high. As reported in previous news releases, results from hole 24LCS -01 indicate robust VMS -style

mineralization containing elevated copper, z inc, silver, and gold. Samples submitted from holes 24LCS -02 and

24LCS-03 have yet to be obtained by the company.

Using weighted averages combined with copper equivalents, the following has been calculated for the massive

sulphide zone intercepted in hole 24LCS-01 (see release dated September 8, 2024):

â 1.8 % copper equivalent** over 6.1 metres* (122.75-127.6), including

⮚ 2.56% copper equivalent over 3.95 metres (122.75-126.7)

The weighted average for the total mineralized zone from 102.15 metres to 127.6 metres is calculated at:

❖ 0.83% copper equivalent over 25.45 metres

*True widths of mineralization have not yet been determined

**Copper equivalents utilize USA $80 per gram gold, $0.95 per gram silver, $1.30 per pound zinc, and $4.2 per pound copper.

The successful drilling of the TDEM anomaly at holes 24LCS -01 to 24LCS -03 indicates that these targets are of

primary interest for further testing. TMC Geophysics conducted the magnetics and TDEM surveys, pointing out

that several isolated conductive bodie s occur within the area tested by geophysics. This includes the anomaly

tested by the first three drill holes (EMG-6); however, the geophysics shows a cluster of TDEM anomalies further

to the south (EMG-01, -02, and -03). The largest of the anomalies is located approximately 215 m below surface.

This anomaly (EMG-1) has potentially significant thickness as modelled by TMC (Maxwell plates). This may be the

primary target for continued drilling at La Corne South.

The geophysics indicates a possible corridor of magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies over a two kilometer

strike within the volcanic host rocks. The corridor is open to the northwest where surveying has yet to be

completed, and the company plans to exten d the geophysical surveying in that direction once exploration

resumes.

The company is looking forward to receiving results from holes 24LCS -02 and 24LCS -03 which will aid in

exploration planning.

Explo-Logik Inc, located in Val d’Or, is managing exploration including core logging and sampling at their facility.

A total of 278 samples of core from the first three holes were directly delivered by Explo -Logik staff to the ALS

laboratory in Val d’Or, Q uebec. The samples underwent ALS ME -MS61L process that uses 4 -acid digestion of

pulverized samples followed by mass spectrometer detection for 48 elements, and process Au-ICP21 that analyzes

for gold, platinum, and palladium using fire assay. For quality assurance and control Explo-Logik inserted blanks,

standards, and duplicates at one insert every 10 samples.

Q PRECIOUS & BATTERY METALS CORP

QMET 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, targeting critica l and precious metals. Projects include the La Corne South VMS Project,

McKenzie East Gold property, Lorrain Hydrogen Project and the recently acquired Pontax Lithium and Versant

rare earth elements (REE) properties.
