Q BATTERY MAPS AND SAMPLES PEGMATITE

LA CORNE SOUTH LITHIUM PROJECT, QUEBEC

June 22, 2023, Vancouver, BC – Q Battery Metals Corp. (“Q Battery Metals” or the “Company) (CSE: QMET) is

pleased to announce the discovery of pegmatite dykes following a targeted sampling program on the La Corne

South project, located north of Val d’Or, Quebec. A brief reconnaissance of the area of interest on the claims led

to the discovery of several narrow pegmatitic bodies within bedrock and several larger float blocks of pegmatitic

material. Samples have been collected from these exposures and are now being submitted to the labora tory for

lithium analysis.

The Q Battery team explored a general area where prior sampling returned elevated lithium values from work

programs completed in 2021, that were however not designed for the discovery of pegmatites or lithium. The

current reconnaissance work was guided by Dr. Mathieu Piché', a director and OGQ Geoscientist for Q Battery,

who was also part of the reconnaissance team. Pegmatitic material has not be previously mapped by Q Battery

on this area of the claims. The largest of the recentl y discovered pegmatite dykes appears to be approximately

30 cm in width with an unknown strike length.

There appears to be a cluster of pegmatite veins and dykes associated with a topographic ridge in this area of

the property. The area requires a more tho rough exploration program in order to properly assess lithium

potential. Continued exploration is expected to be undertaken in the following months.

Q Battery Metals president Richard Penn states that “we have known the the La Corne South property has the

correct geological setting for pegmatite formations, however, it is pleasing to find the pegmatite material in the

field during our brief targeted reconnaissance program.” The area has been under an exploration access ban

due to high fire hazard ratings. A temporary lifting of the ban allowed the crew to quickly obtain samples of

pegmatite from the property. The area is once again under access ban due to continued dry weather.

The intention of 2023 exploration on the La Corne South project is to identify l ithium-bearing pegmatites that

can be diamond drilled this coming fall and winter.

The La Corne South Property is located over the southern portion of the La Corne Batholith. At least 14 lithium

projects are associated with the margins of the La Corne Bath olith within 20 kilometres of the QMET claims.

Sections of the batholith are pegmatitic which host the lithium. Within 10 kms, the North American Lithium

project is a historic lithium mine that now lists proven and probable mineral reserves estimated at 29 .2 million

tonnes (Mt), grading 0.96% Li2O, with contained Li2O of 280,300t. As well, the potential for VMS deposition

containing Cu-Zn-Ag is evident on the La Corne South claims.

Q Battery Metals exploration programs undertaken in Quebec are supervised b y Dr. Mathieu Piché, OGQ, with

office located north of Val d’Or. He is also a Q Battery Metals company director. The company has 100% interest

in mineral claims within Quebec and British Columbia, with exploration targeting critical and precious metals.

Perry Grunenberg, P.Geo, a “Qualified Person” as that term is defined under NI 43 -101, has reviewed and

approved the technical information in this news release.
