The Western USA Mining 2024 Report looks at copper, lithium, uranium, rare earth, and other

minerals are in-demand commodities and prevalent in Western USA. From northern Alaska to

southern Arizona, the Western USA boasts rich reserves of these minerals. The world is in a race

towards a more green and electrified future, and these metals have become a focal point in global

discussion, being designated by many nations as "critical," resembling oil in terms of their

geopolitical significance. Nations worldwide are after self-sufficiency and reducing reliance on

foreign sources; the US is no exception.

About Grid Battery Metals Inc.

Venture Exchange. The Company’s maintains a focus on exploration for high value battery metals

required for the electric vehicle (EV) market. www.gridbatterymetals.com.

About Texas Springs Property

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Texas Spring Property which consists of mineral lode

claims located in Elko County, Nevada. The Property is in the Granite Range southeast of Jackpot,

Nevada, about 73 km north-northeast of Wells, Nevada. The target is a lithium clay deposit in volcanic

tuff and tuffaceous sediments of the Humbolt Formation. A Phase 1 exploration program at the Texas

Springs Property (Fall 2023) yielded results with average lithium grades of 2010 ppm, applying a

1,000 ppm cut-off, and up to 5,610 ppm Lithium.

The Texas Spring property adjoins the southern border of the Nevada North Lithium Project - owned

by Surge Battery Metals Inc. (“Surge”) ( TSXV: NILI, OTC: NILIF ) and comprised of 725 mineral

claims. Surge's first round of drilling identified strongly mineralized lithium bearing clays. The

average lithium content within all near surface clay zones intersected in the 2022 drilling program,

applying a 1000 ppm cut-off, was 3254 ppm. (Press release March 29, 2023 ). More recent results

have shown higher grade lithium up to 8070 ppm on this property after initial drilling (Press release

September 12, 2023). Our exploration results are on-trend with these results.

About Clayton Valley Lithium Project

The Company owns a 100% interest in 113 lithium lode and placer claims covering over 640 hectares

in Clayton Valley. Clayton Valley is a down-dropped closed basin formed by the Miocene age Great

Basin extension and is still active due to movement along the Walker Lane structural zone. As a

result, the basin has preserved multiple layers of lithium bearing volcanic ash, resulting from

multiple eruptive events over the past 6 million years including eruptions from the 700,000-year-old

Long Valley Caldera system and related events. These ash layers are thought to contribute to the

lithium brines extracted by Albemarle and are also likely involved in the formation of the exposed

lithium rich clay deposits on the east side of Clayton Valley.

Volt Canyon Lithium Property

The Company owns a 100% interest in 80 placer claims covering approximately 635 hectares of

alluvial sediments and clays located 122 km northeast of Tonopah, Nevada.

About the British Columbia, Nickel Projects

The Mount Sidney Williams Group consists of three claim blocks with a total area of 10,569 hectares

in the area surrounding Mount Sidney Williams, both adjoining and near the Decar project of FPX

Nickel Corp., located 100 kilometres northwest of Fort St. James, B.C., in the Omineca mining division.

Metallic mineralization includes nickel, cobalt, and chromium. At least some of the nickel

mineralization occurs as awaruite. The Mitchell Range Group area claim consists of one claim block

covering 8,659 hectares with demonstrated metallic mineralization including nickel, cobalt, and

chromium. Nickel cobalt mineralization has not been well explored, but the presence of awaruite has

been documented.
