Battery Mineral Resources’ Wholly-owned Subsidiary Minera BMR Spa Helps
Ensure Labor Stability Into 2028 with New Collective Agreements
Vancouver, British Columbia – (October 27th, 2025) – Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV:
BMR) (OTCQB: BTRMF) (“ Battery” or “ BMR” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce on
behalf of its Chilean subsidiary Minera BMR, Spa, the successful conclusion of the collective
bargaining processes with the two labor unions that represent the majority of its workforce at
the Cinabrio and San Andrés mining operations. These agreements, signed under Chilean
labor regulations, help to ensure labor stability into 2028.
Currently, 76% of the Company's 323 employees are unionized, divided between two labor
unions:
• Mine Union, Minas Cinabrio y San Andrés , representing primarily mine workers,
includes 95 members (29% of the total workforce). This union signed a collective
bargaining agreement on May 1, 2025, valid through May 13, 2028.
• Concentrator Union , which includes personnel from all operational areas — notably
from the processing plant, administrative functions, and supervisory roles — consists
of 152 members (47% of the workforce). This union entered into a new collective
agreement effective October 18, 2025, valid until October 18, 2028.
The remaining 24% of the workforce (76 employees) is not unionized.
Both agreements were negotiated to have a term of 36 months , which is the maximum
permitted under Chilean law . During this period, unions are legally prohibited from initiating
strikes or protest actions, allowing the Company to operate without the risk of such labor
disruptions.
“These long -term agreements reflect the constructive dialogue we maintain with our
workforce and underscore our commitment to labor stability,” said Laz Nikeas, Chief Executive
Officer of Minera BMR Spa. “They play an important role in maintaining stable operations and
give us the confidence to execute our long-term production and development plans.”
