Q BATTERY METALS CORP. CLOSES PONTAX LITHIUM PROJECT ACQUISITION

JAMES BAY REGION, QUEBEC

August 10, 2023, Vancouver, B.C. – Q Battery Metals Corp (“Q Battery” or the “Company) is very pleased

to announce that it has closed its previously announced share purchase agreement with 1412814 BC Ltd.

(“814BC”) and its shareholders (the “Vendors”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common

shares of 1412814 BC Ltd. in exchange for 5,800,000 common shares of the Company (see press release

dated August 1, 2023). 814BC owns mineral claims i n the Pontax River area of the James Bay region of

Quebec.

The transaction is subject to the approval of the C anadian Securities Exchange. The transaction as

proposed does not constitute a fundamental change o r result in a change of control of the Company,

within the meaning of the policies of the CSE. One of the Vendors is related to the Chief Financial Officer

of the Company. As a result, the Company had an ind ependent geologist review the property and an

independent committee of the board approve the valuation.

The claims cover 5,376 hectares in 101 contiguous c laims located within the “Lithium Triangle”. The

property is surrounded by other significant lithium plays including: Patriot Battery Metals Pontax project,

Brunswick Exploration, Stria Lithium properties, and the Li-FT Power Ltd. large land package including the

Moyenne Project. The newly acquired Q Battery Metal s property is strategically positioned in an

exceptionally active and promising area for lithium exploration. The reader is cautioned that potential

lithium resources that exist on properties outside of the Pontax Lithium Project claims are not direct

indicators of lithium mineralization on the Pontax Lithium Project.

The Q Battery Metals Pontax River property is an exploration stage project that has potential for hosting

LCT pegmatites and associated lithium mineralizatio n. The property’s vicinity to fertile peraluminous

granite bodies, as well as being close to other kno wn lithium deposits in the region provides strong

incentive for lithium exploration. The granitic bodies and host lithologies are underexplored and need to

be prospected for pegmatite bodies.

Q Battery Metals geologic team is in the process of compiling all available data for the Pontax River project

in preparation for a Phase I exploration program. A n initial geologic mapping and prospecting site

reconnaissance is scheduled to be completed this summer.

Q Battery Metals is also exploring their La Corne South lithium project located north of Val d’Or, and their

Pegalith lithium project located north of Gatineau, Quebec. The Pontax, La Corne, and Pegalith project s

each have a variety of exploration targets, with th e La Corne South currently being the project of

immediate interest to Q Battery Metals for lithium potential. Rock samples taken from the La Corne South

are currently at the laboratory for analysis (see Q Battery news release dated June 20, 2023), and the

geologic team is preparing to return for continued targeted sampling in August.

Q Battery exploration programs in Quebec are superv ised by Dr. Mathieu Piché, OGQ, who is also a

Company director.

Perry Grunenberg, PGeo, a qualified person as that term is defined under NI 43-101, has reviewed and

approved the technical information in this news release.
