GREEN BATTERY MINERALS MOBILIZES TO BERKWOOD GRAPHITE
PROPERTY, QUÉBEC, TO UNDERTAKE 6TH DRILL PROGRAM.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Vancouver, British Columbia, | Aug. 2 6th, 2022 – Green
Battery Minerals inc. (the "Company") (TSX- V: GEM, FSE: BK2P, WKN: A2QENP OTC: GBMIF) is
pleased to announce that it has mobilized a drill contractor to commence additional drilling on
Zone 6 of it’s 100% owned Berkwood Graphite Project. The program is intended to further define
the extent and grade of the Zone 6 graphite discovery and to drill into the outcrops that were
exposed in our last mapping program done in July of this year.
The 20-hole 2,000 m 2022 drill program has been designed based on the results of surface
exposures of g raphite identified during the previous July mapping program (see news release
date August 5, 2022) . Semi continuous horizons of graphite were identified along the trend
illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2 and appear to define a recumbent fold structure. Drilling is to
initially focus on outcropping areas of graphite . At each of the principal outcrop locations a
number of holes will be advanced and will attempt to demonstrate down dip and along -strike
continuity. Drilling will commence along 400m of continuous graphite exposure along the south-
dipping southern limb of the antiform between Areas 1 – 3 outcrops (Figure 1). Where access is
possible, targeted holes will be advanced in the nose of the antiform, where surface mapping has
identified fault offset surface continuity into the Area 4 outcrops. Several targeted holes have
also been specifically designed to establish the near surface true thickness of the outcropping
graphite.
Drilling is expected to commence before the end of August 2022 and is expected to last for 4 to
6 weeks with field operations based out of Manic 5, Quebec. The proposed budget has been
approved in the amount of CAD$1,000,000.

The Company has previously completed a drill program on Zone 6 for a total of 970 meters in 12
drill holes. Six of the twelve drill locations were drilled into outcrops and intersected significant
graphite enrichment (see news release date May 6, 2022).
Tom Yingling, President and CEO of Green Battery states “It's not every day you get to drill into high
grade anything and here we are about to drill directly into 4 separate graphite outcrops along a defined
400m strike length with strong indications of more. Needless to say, we are excited to test these outcrops
at depth under much fairer conditions than those we encountered last winter.”
About the Berkwood Graphite Project
The Berkwood Graphite Project is located within the jurisdiction of Quebec, in the Manicouagan
Regional County Municipality, three hours driving time from the city of Baie-Comeau. Easy access
is provided via a major secondary road and numerous tertiary and forest roads that traverse the
property.
The Zone 1 deposit lies 8 km southwest of Mason Graphite’s deposit which is the subject of a
current feasibility study. The Company believes its Zone 1 deposit and that of Mason share many
similar geological characteristics with the Zone 1 deposit being one of the highest-grade graphite
deposits in the world.
The current mineral resource at the Lac Gueret South Graphite Project includes in-pit constrained
resource totalling 1,755,300 tonnes of indicated resources at 17.00 % Cgr and 1,526,400 tonnes
in inferred resources at 16.39 % Cgr.
