Exploration Programs Permits & Approvals

Suite #1780, 355 Burrard St., Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2G8

For Immediate Release

VICTORY FILES PERMIT AMENDMENT FOR PRIME DRILL HOLES ON

ITS SMOKEY LITHIUM, NEVADA PROPERTY

● As announced on 14 December 2022, Victory’s Exploration Team has completed

an on-site geological program to finalize the location of drill holes, building upon

its previously reported comprehensive effort to

delineate significant lithium mineralization on the Smokey Lithium Property

● Drill hole locations have been selected to extend strong lithium mineralization

intersected previously on the property in hole 09 within the area of interest

outlined in detail in the Company’s press release dated 20 October 2022

● The Company has now amended and submitted its drill permit application with

the newly identified hole locations in this new area of interest contiguous with the

southwest part of the original claim block

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA ( 18 January 2023) – Victory Battery Metals (CSE: VR) (FWB:

VR6) (OTC: VRCFF) (“Victory” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company

amended and submitted its drill permit application with the newly identified hole locations in this

new area of interest contiguous with the southwest p art of the original claim block for its wholly

owned Smokey Lithium Property in Nevada.

“The planned second round drill targets are a perfect combination of step out drilling on previous

a mineralized intersection along with grassroots targets of claystone sediments within the

Weepah Detachment fault and underlying claystones of the Esmeralda Formation,” said Victory

President and CEO, Mr. Mark Ireton. “The project area and surrounding lands show strong

lithium mineralization with the Esmeralda Formation at surface. When combined with the highly

encouraging results from Victory’s first round drilling (completed in 2022) the project area is

highly prospective. Only a handful of holes have ever been drilled within the project and

surrounding areas, leaving robust potential for additional discoveries of lithium mineralized

claystones.,”

Victory’s amended drill permit application includes the new high quality drill targets. The

proposed program seeks to extend strong lithium mineralization intersected previously on the

property’s hole 09, which was ended in strong, claystone hosted, lithium mineralization at 417

feet.
