About Grid Battery Metals Inc. www.gridbatterymetals.com.

Grid Battery Metals Inc. is a Canadian based exploration company whose primary listing is on the

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

metals required for the electric vehicle (EV) market.

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 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.
