GREEN BATTERY MINERALS COMPLETES 2ND DRILLING PROGRAM AT
ZONE 6 OF THE BERKWOOD GRAPHITE PROJECT.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Vancouver, British Columbia, | Oct . 6th, 2022 – Green
Battery Minerals Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-V: GEM, FSE: BK2P, WKN: A2QENP OTC: GBMIF) is
pleased to provide initial results from twenty (20) diamond drill holes that were completed as
part of the Company’s successful second phase of drilling on the newly discovered Zone 6 area
at the Berkwood Graphite Project, situated 280 km north of Baie-Comeau, Quebec.
A total of 20 exploratory drill holes were completed for a total of 2,058m. Seven of the twenty
holes intersected significant graphite enrichment contiguous with previous drill results,
extending the initial strike length of the Graphite enrichment horizon to 350 m along the
southern limb.
Highlights intersections from initial assay results:
• BK6-22-21 intersected 16.5 m of graphite enrichment from 35.7 m to 52.2 m for a total
of 16 samples submitted, (See figure 2 below).
• BK6-22-17 intersected 3.5 m of graphite enrichment from 44.4 m to 47.9 m, and 8.6 m
of graphite enrichment from 53.1 m to 61.7 m for a total of 12 samples submitted.
• BK6-21-24 with 2.8 m graphite enrichment from 64.5 m to 67.3 m for a total of 3
samples submitted.

Newly Staked Claims
Green Battery Minerals is also very pleased to announce it has acquired additional claims
adjacent to the zone 6 area. In total 16 new claims amounting to 866 Ha was staked on behalf of
Green Battery Minerals to cover additional prospective areas with geophysical anomalism
surrounding the core of the claims at Zone 6.
Tom Yingling, President and CEO of Green Battery, states, “I am very pleased wit h these initial
results to date. We were successful in intersecting Graphite in 18 of the 20 holes drilled. Initial
results show the mineralization to be continuous along strike for a length of approximately 350
m (1,150 feet) so far, and still open.”
“The 2022 drill program at Zone 6 was an exploration program designed to discover and expand
upon potential graphite resources, and better understand the geology that controls the graphite
enrichment. Our goal is to add to the proven resource we already have on Zone 1 ( see news
release dated July 15th, 2019), and we plan to do so by continuing with step-out and infill drilling
on both Zone 1 and Zone 6. I am pleased to say that the Company also has numerous other
outcropping graphite zones sampled that we still need to drill. In addition, management is very
pleased to have expanded zone 6 by adding the new contiguous claims.
Benchmark Minerals Intelligence, one of the world’s leading battery element resource sources,
says the world will need an estimated 97 natural flake graphite mines to meet the required
demand by 2035.”

The 2 nd Phase of drilling was successful in delineating along strike continuation of graphite
enrichment along the southern limb of the host antiform fold structure. Initial results show the
mineralization to be continuous along strike for a length of approximately 350 m.
Approximately 100 narrow intersections of graphite enrichment (both massive and
disseminated) were encountered in a total of 18 of the 20 holes completed. These intervals
ranged in thickness from 0.5 to 4 m in length and often identified new (unknown) zones of
graphite enrichment, of these a total of 24 were greater than 1 m with observed massive graphite
enrichment.

The above intervals are drilling lengths, not true widths, because the true orientation of the
enrichment horizons has not yet been established.
The 2022 drilling focused on the outcrops 1 to 3 along the southern limb, and outcrop 4 at the
‘fold nose’ are a. Intersections in holes 32 and 13 successfully extended the westward strike of
graphite enrichment by approximately 100 m – open to the west . Intersections in holes 14, 15,
17, 16, 20, and 18, extended the enriched horizon to the east connecting it with the Outcrop 3
area, where the thickest intersection were encountered in hole 21. Additional intersections in
the neighbouring holes 22, and 24 appear to show local folding and replication of the enriched
horizon within the antiform which hosts the graphite enriched horizon.
The results from the drilling show a complex fold interference pattern across the zone 6 area.
The diamond drilling program was completed with oriented core allowing the collection
important structural data to aid in interpretation of the spatial extent and controls on the
enrichment horizon. Interpretations are currently underway to better understand the fold
geometry at the zone 6 area, and to understand controls on localised replication of the
enrichment horizon as identified at the outcrop 3 area.

coarse flake graphite enrichment encountered between 40 – 43 m.
Drilling at the outcrop 4 area structure encountered numerous variably thick intersections of
graphite enrichment where shallow dips exposed large areas of outcropping graphite at surface.
Oriented core measurements are currently being interpreted to resolve the comp lex fold
interference pattern which controls the spatial distribution of graphite enrichment at the nose
of the antiform area.

QA / QC Comments
179 diamond drill core samples of sawn core have been collected from core lengths usually
varying from 0.3 to 1.50 m depending upon geological and mineralogical constraints. Every tenth
sample, a QAQC measure was entered in the sample submission in the order of standard-blank-
standard-duplicate. The standard selected is OREAS 723; a certified reference material containing
5.87% TGC (Total Graphitic Carbon).
Samples were delivered to MSALABS in Langley, British Columbia, an ISO accredited laboratory.
There they were crushed to a nominal minus 2 mm, split into representative sub- samples and
then pulverized to at least 85% minus 75 microns before collecting sub-sample pulps for each of
the core samples.
All sub -sample pulps were analysed for both Total Carbon + Total Sulphur (SPM -512) and
Graphite Carbon (SPM -140). The Graphite Carbon analysis process involves the sample to be
ashed, leached, and the residue measured by induction. The detection range for this analysis is
between 0.02-50%, while the SPM-512 detection limit for both Carbon and Sulphur is 0.01-50%.
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 Berkwood 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.
