Grid Battery Metals Exploration Team On Site at the Volt Canyon Nevada Lithium Project
NEWS RELEASE
Grid Battery Metals Exploration Team On Site at the Volt Canyon Nevada
Lithium Project
Coquitlam, BC, October 26, 2023 - Grid Battery Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Grid
Battery”) (TSXV: CELL, OTCQB: EVKRF, FRA: NMK2 ) announces that its exploration team has just
visited Volt Canyon Property in Lander County, Nevada, approximately 50 kilometres west of Eureka,
Nevada.
At the Volt Canyon Lithium Project, the Company contracted the services of Rangefront Geological
(“Rangefront”) to perform a detailed soil sampling on a 100 m X 100 m spacing as a first phase of the
Company’s exploration plan on site. The Company proposes to use the results of these soil samples,
together with a planned second phase exploration program involving geophysical surveys of the
property, to help predict geological structure and possible locations for lithium accumulation. Once
the first two phases of this exploration program at Volt Canyon have been successfully completed,
the Company will determine the next steps for its overall exploration plan. This may include, but is
not limited to, a subsequent drilling program.
Tim Fernback, Grid President & CEO comments “Once we receive the results from the assay lab, we
will use this information and plan our next steps at Volt Canyon. This is a very exciting time for our
shareholders and company. It will be great to realize the potential of this new area of Nevada for
lithium that has not previously been extensively explored by others in the past.”

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.
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 303 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).

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.
