Battery Metals (TSXV: PMET) Corvette Lithium discoveries to 347.

Victory’s holdings now represent a large ground position in an underexplored area within an emerging

lithium district. With this acquisition, the Stingray property array grows from 3,417 to 17,792 hectares south

“Expanding Victory’s presence in this prime location is a priority, allowing us to consolidate the Company’s

Stingray property array, streamline exploration efforts and establish a significant presence for further

strategic acquisitions and or partnerships,” said Mr. Mark Ireton, Victory Battery Metals President.

The new claims were acquired for a cash payment of $100.000 and 3 million shares. The acquisition is

made up of three blocks that will now become part of the Stingray Property array:

Block One (Kaanaan Block):

• 146 claims, 7,486 hectares located approximately 2-3 km southeast and east of PMET’s Corvette

Lithium property

• Covers eastern extension of major regional fault structure which represents the contact between

the Archean metavolcanics and Archean granodiorites. This major structure is believed to have

controlled the emplacement of lithium bearing pegmatites within the Corvette Lithium Project

located towards the west

Block Two (Lac Block):

• 92 claims, 4,730-hectares located approximately 5km south of PMET’s Corvette Lithium Property

• Covers multiple extensions of prospective metavolcanic unit which is a known host of lithium

bearing pegmatites within the James Bay Area. The Lac Block surrounds and covers unexplored

extension from Infinity Stone Ventures (CSE: GEMS) Hellcat Project where they have identified 5

pegmatites within the greenstones1

Block Three (Riviere Block):

• 42 claims, 2,159-hectare block located ~8km southwest of PMET’s Corvette Lithium Property

• Located adjacent to major east-west trending regional structure and geological contact zone

between tonalite/granodiorite and metavolcanic/metasedimentary units

About the James Bay Lithium District

The James Bay Region of Quebec is composed of the Superior Province. This Archean craton has been

deformed by various orogens over time, creating large fault zones containing gold, lithium, copper, zinc,

and silver mineralization. The majority of the new Stingray claims lie along the same rock unit that has been

previously mapped by Patriot Battery Metals Inc., contains lithium-bearing pegmatites up to 20 km in length

with Li2O values as high as 1280 ppm.2

Patriot Battery Metals Corvette property “hosts significant lithium potential highlighted by the 2.6 km long

CV5 spodumene pegmatite with drill intercepts of 156.9 m at 2.12% Li2O, including 25.0 m at 5.04% Li2O

or 5.0 m at 6.36% Li2O (CV22-083), 159.7 m at 1.65% Li2O (CV22-042), 131.2 m at 1.96% Li2O (CV22-

100), and 52.2 m at 3.34% Li2O, including 15.0 m at 5.10% Li2O (CV22-093).”3
