Stria Lithium Provides update on its

newly acquired staked claims

Stria Lithium, Inc.

(TSX-V: SRA, OTC: SRCAF, and FRANKFURT: S35A)

Ottawa, ON, November 13, 2023 - Stria Lithium Inc. (TSXV: SRA) (“Stria Lithium”, the “Company”) is

pleased to provide an update on its previously staked claims.

Stria lithium had previously staked 3 blocks of claims based on Tantalum anomalies as per its press release dated

July 2023. In regards to block 1 all the claims were accepted by the ministry and now this block is comprised of

31 claims. Block 2 consisting of 30 claims were also accepted. In regards to Block 3 Stria had initially staked a

total of 30 claims however 9 claims were refused based on their proximity to electrical wires, resulting in a final

total of 21 successful claims. Therefore these 3 blocks resulted in a total of 82 claims.

About Stria Lithium

Stria Lithium (TSX-V: SRA) is an emerging resource exploration company developing Canadian lithium

reserves to meet legislated demand for electric vehicles and their rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Stria’s Central Pontax Lithium Project covers 36 square kilometres, including 8 kilometres of strike along the

prospective Chambois Greenstone Belt. The region, known as the Canadian “Lithium Triangle,” is one of only

a few known sources of lithium available for hard rock mining in North America.

Stria’s Pontax Central Project Joint Venture with Cygnus Metals now has a maiden JORC inferred

resource Estimate (MRE) of 10.1Mt at 1.04% Li2O based on the central area of the known mineralisation.

This JORC estimate establishes Pontax Central as a serious player in the Canadian Lithium James Bay region.

Cygnus Metals being an ASX issuer, they adhered to Australian JORC Code 2012 guidelines, meaning that such

mineral resource estimate is not necessarily current in regard of the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 code.

Cygnus Metals is committed to fully funding and managing the current two-stage exploration and drilling

program to a maximum of $10 million at Stria’s Pontax property, and will also pay Stria up to $6 million in

cash. In return, Cygnus may acquire up to a 70% interest in the property. Cygnus has fulfilled its stage 1

requirements within the agreement and has now earned its 51% interest in the property.

Stria’s other significant project, Pontax II covers 55 square kilometres, approximately 25 kilometres to the

west-south-west of Pontax Central and is located adjacent to the Billy-Diamond paved highway. Stria has

added to this project by recently acquiring 24 claims, for 1276.5 hectares that are strategically located

northeast of Stria’s Pontax II claims.

Stria Lithium previously reported highly anomalous tantalum oxide grain counts in till samples up to 797

grains, the highest count ever recorded by the laboratory. The Pontax II grain counts stand at the 97.6 centile

of the regional population with an average of 156 grains per sample as a comparative basis, a regional survey

in the same area conducted by the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources Naturelles du Québec, processed a

total of 5950 tantalum oxide grains yielding an average count of 36 grains per samples. The conclusion being

the grain counts are suggestive of the proximity of lithium bearing pegmatites.

Pontax II claims are in highly active prospective zones, situated to the west southwest of Stria/Cygnus lithium

discovery and situated to the west of the Patriot Battery Metals (PMET.V) Pontax project, and south of

Brunswick Exploration (BRW.V).

Stria’s Pontax properties are both situated close to an industrial powerline and a major paved highway, about

310 km north of the North American rail network that leads to the industrial heartland.

As momentum builds for the green energy revolution and the shift to electric vehicles, governments in Canada

and the U.S. are aggressively supporting the North American lithium industry, presenting the industry and its

investors with a rare, if not unprecedented, opportunity for growth and prosperity well into the next decade and

beyond.

Stria is committed to exceeding the industry’s environmental, social and governance standards. A critical part

of that commitment is forging meaningful, enduring and mutually beneficial relationships with the James Bay

Cree Nation (Eeyouch), and engaging openly and respectfully as neighbours and collaborators in this exciting

project that has the potential to create lasting jobs and prosperity for Eeyou Istchee and its people.

The technical content disclosed in the current press release was reviewed and approved by Réjean Girard, P.Geo

and president of IOS Services Geoscientifiques Inc, a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI-

43-101.
