Q BATTERY COMMENCES TARGETED ROCK SAMPLING

LA CORNE SOUTH LITHIUM PROJECT, QUEBEC

June 20, 2023, Vancouver, BC – Q Battery Metals Corp. (“Q Battery Metals” or the “Company) (CSE: QMET) is

pleased to announce targeted rock sampling has been initiated on the La Corne South project, located north of

Val d’Or, Quebec. The Q Battery sampling team will be exploring a reas where prior sampling returned elevated

lithium values from work programs that were not designed to test for lithium. The work is being guided by Dr.

Mathieu Piché', a director and OGQ Geoscientist for Q Battery.

In 2021 Q Battery conducted a work prog ram to test outcrops for multi -element VMS potential. Rock sampling

undertaken in the area of the Boily Berube' mineral showing returned a number of results over 100 ppm lithium

and up to 468 ppm (see Q Battery news release dated March 7, 2023). The sample s were taken from outcrop

ridges that will be re-sampled during this current targeted program. The team will also attempt to better locate

the Boily Berube' mineral showing that is described as a trench completed in 1989 exposing pegmatite

containing molyb denite and bismuthinite. The rocks were not analyzed for lithium at that time. The targeted

sampling will test this material for lithium, as well as sampling other trenches completed during the 1989 work

program.

Q Battery will also locate drill collars for holes completed by prior operators. This includes drill hole FIE 15 -04-02

completed in 2004 by Falconbridge that returned elevated lithium (to 333 ppm) from core samples (see Q

Battery news release dated June 12, 2023). None of the historic drilling was designed to test for pegmatite or

lithium, with only a select number of hole samples analyzed for multiple elements to include lithium.

This current targeted sampling program will assist in identifying areas for more intensive exploration to be

undertaken during the summer. The intention of 2023 exploration on the La Corne South project is to identify

potential lithium-bearing pegmatites that can be diamond drilled this coming fall and winter.

The La Corne South Property is located over the southern portion of the La Corne Batholith. At least 14 lithium

projects are associated wit h the margins of the La Corne Batholith within 20 kilometres of the QMET claims.

Sections of the batholith are pegmatitic which host the lithium. Within 10 kms, the North American Lithium

project is a historic lithium mine that now lists proven and probabl e mineral reserves estimated at 29.2 million

tonnes (Mt), grading 0.96% Li2O, with contained Li2O of 280,300t. As well, the potential for VMS deposition

containing Cu-Zn-Ag is evident on the La Corne South claims.

Q Battery Metals exploration programs und ertaken 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 critical and precious metals.
