Coniagas Battery Metals to Present at PDAC 2025 on the Prospective Nickel-Copper Graal Property in Quebec
Coniagas Battery Metals to Present at PDAC 2025 on the Prospective
Nickel-Copper Graal Property in Quebec
Vancouver, BC – February 25, 2025 – Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS) (“Coniagas”
or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it will participate and present at the PDAC
2025 Conference in Toronto from March 2 to March 5, 2025 and welcomes the opportunity to
meet with investors to discuss recent developments and plans for the Company.
CEO Frank Basa, P .Eng. Ontario, is scheduled to give a presentation as part of the
Nickel/PGM session of the Corporate Presentation Forum for Investors on Wednesday
March 5 at 11:08 am in the Investment Hub Theatre and will be available during and
afterwards to answer questions on Coniagas. Mr. Basa will also be available at other times
during PDAC; if you wish a meeting, please contact us.
The presentation will focus on the Graal Project’s near-term plans including areas to be drilled
and its longer-term potential as a possible nickel-copper mine with cobalt, platinum, and
palladium byproducts. The Company has engaged the services of Laurentia Exploration to
design and manage ongoing exploration activities at the Graal property, strategically located
near an ocean port at Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, Quebec. (See Feb. 3, 2025 news release.)
Mr. Basa stated, "The prospect of expanding upon known zones and finding new zones
containing nickel, copper, cobalt and PGM at Graal is encouraging from the results of the
completed drill programs. Numerous drill hole intercepts confirm the potential of Graal property
for hosting significant and thick massive sulfides mineralization. We will continue to add to these
results within known mineralized zones to increase our understanding while stepping out to
expand those zones along the defined trends while exploring for new zones.” (See maps below
for NiEq and CuEq calculations and planned areas for drilling, and the Feb. 3, 2025 news
release for details and supporting data.)
Currently, the interpreted geological models indicate a potential for a low-grade, large-volume
orebody with local and smaller but richer and thicker lenses along a lengthy mineralized
trend. This scenario suggests the possibility of having a large, low-grade starter pit that can
evolve to underground mining of the rich higher-grade pockets.

At its 100% owned Graal project near Saguenay, Quebec, Coniagas has conducted successful
exploration involving geophysics as well as shallow drilling that hit mineralization in almost every
hole. It has confirmed an open-pit deposit model at Graal along a 6 km strike length of high -
grade nickel and copper with cobalt, platinum and palladium byproducts. The Company plans
in the near-term to conduct additional drilling leading to the production of a Ni 43-101 resource
report, metallurgical testing and consultations with First Nations. The Graal project and
immediate work plan are outlined in detail in the “NI 43-101 Technical Report Graal Nickel &
Copper Project, Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec, Canada” dated January 17, 2024. The report
