ESI Energy Services Inc. announces strong growth and new autonomous product

development as it expands its role in the global energy equipment market

Phoenix, Arizona – (October 23, 2025) – Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV: BMR)

(OTCQB: BTRMF) (“ Battery” or “BMR”) is pleased to update its shareholders on its wholly

owned subsidiary ESI Energy Services Inc. (“ESI” or the “Company”).

About ESI Energy Services Inc.

ESI, which operates under the brand, Ozzie’s, Inc. (“Ozzie’s”), is a designer and manufacturer

of specialized construction equipment serving both the renewable and conventional energy

sectors. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Ozzie’s provides equipment leasing, sales, and

manufacturing solutions that support larg e-scale infrastructure construction across solar,

wind, oil and gas, and utility markets.

Following another year of solid performance, ESI is targeting revenue of approximately C$22

million for 2025 . This would be approximately a 30% increase over 2024 and the highest

since 2008. The Company has continued to deliver strong margins year to date driven by

steady demand across its core product lines and growing industry activity in renewable energy

applications.

As part of its ongoing investment in product innovation, Ozzie’s is proud to announce the

development of the Ozzie’s Omni Crawler — a versatile, scalable, and autonomous tracked

vehicle solution. The Omni Crawler is expected to combine remote operator control and

advanced autonomous perception in a single, adaptive platform that delivers precision,

efficiency, and reduced on-site labor requirements in demanding environments.

The platform’s modular architecture and dual attachment is expected to allow for easy

integration supporting a full range of attachments including Ozzie’s proprietary tooling, third -

party solutions, and commercially available compact track loader implements. Currently, the

Omni Crawler is being designed to pair with Ozzie’s own already marketed OMR-50 Module

Rotator and OMH -40 Module Handler, purpose -built attachments for large -scale solar

installation. Its adaptable design is expected to also support the high demand areas of battery

storage construction, data centre development, and other utility-scale projects.

ESI remains focused on advancing innovation, expanding international sales, and introducing

new products that enhance efficiency and safety in energy infrastructure development and

the rapidly expanding data center construction market, where Ozzie’s specialized equipment
