Battery X Metals Announces Commencement of Exploration Program on

Precious Metal and Critical Mineral Property in Red Lake, Ontario

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – April 4, 2024 – Battery X Metals Inc. (CSE:BATX) (OTCQB:BATXF)

(FSE:R0W, WKN:A3EMJB) ("Battery X Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has

commenced an exploration program at its Belanger Project in Ontario. The Belanger Project's known

gold and copper assets align perfectly with the current market dynamics where both gold and copper

are experiencing significant demand — gold as a resilient investment asset and copper as a critical

component in the electric vehicle (EV) battery and renewable energy sectors.

Belanger Property Location

The Belanger Project, located in one of Canada’s most prolific gold mining districts, Red Lake, Ontario, is

historically known for significant findings of gold, becomes even more pivotal in light of recent

developments in the gold market. On April 3, 2024, the price of gold reached a new record high of USD

$2,320 per ounce, representing a 25% increase in the last 6 months, capturing the attention of investors

worldwide and underscoring the strategic value of Battery X Metals' exploration efforts.

The recent surge in gold prices has sparked a lively debate among investors about the opportune

moment to invest in this precious metal. According to a recent report, the allure of gold's steady value

increase is undeniable.1 This context highlights the strategic importance of Battery X Metals' exploration

work, as the discovery of new gold deposits could offer fresh opportunities in a market hungry for this

precious metal.

Furthermore, as the world grapples with the demands of the clean energy transition, the role of critical

minerals like copper has never been more pronounced. The International Energy Agency (IEA)

underscores this, noting that "demand for critical minerals more than doubles by 2030" in scenarios

aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050.1 Battery X Metals' exploration initiatives at the Belanger Project

are a direct response to this call for action, aiming to secure vital resources for the future.

The exploration team, set to start fieldwork imminently, will delve into mapping and sampling the

property, building on the historical evidence of its mineralization. In addition to targeting historic

trenches for channel sampling, the exploration plan includes extensive prospecting, mapping, and

sampling efforts.

Corporate Awareness Provider Update

Further to the Company's news release dated February 22, 2024, that it has engaged certain investor

relations providers, the Company notes that these services have not yet commenced.
