Q Battery Metals Announces Ken Kuiper Advisor to Advisory Board
Q Battery Metals Announces Ken Kuiper Advisor to Advisory
Board
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 14, 2023 / Q Battery Metals Corp. ("Q Battery
Metals" or the "Company") (C:QMET)(OTC PINK:BTKRF)(Frankfurt:ONB) is pleased to
announce that Ken Kuiper, former Geospatial Advisor to Mag Silver has been appointed to the Q
Battery Metals Senior Advisory Board.
Mr. Kuiper is the founder of Ellis Park Media, a GIS and aerial survey company, focused on
catering to the resources industry. Studying Earth Sciences at the University of Western Ontario,
Ken gained experience working internationally with several companies, including the United
Nations, MAG Silver, and was a key consultant of several acquired companies, including: West
Timmons Mining (Sold for $319 M), Northern Empire (Sold for $150 M), Balmoral Resources
($150 M) and Corvus Gold ($375M).
CEO Richard Penn stated, "We are extremely pleased to welcome Ken Kuiper to our advisory
board. Critical Minerals are foundational to modern technology and the transition to clean
energy. Ken's experience and insight will be highly valuable as we begin the ramp up for the
2023 exploration season on both our PegaLith and La Corne South Lithium Projects.''

North America.
Q Battery Metals Quebec Properties
LA CORNE SOUTH LITHIUM PROJECT - Lithium, Copper, Zinc, Lead, Molybdenum
The La Corne South Lithium Project was staked by Q Battery Metals to cover the Boily-Bérubé
mineral showing. This showing is documented as a vein system hosting pyrite, chalcopyrite, and
molybdenite. The copper and molybdenum potential of this showing was of interest to Q Metals
for further work. As well, the potential for VMS deposition similar to that found on the PG
Highway claims, adjacent to the LaCorne South, provides interest for exploring for that deposit
type.
QMET has completed airborne magnetic survey and ground-based deep penetrating
electromagnetic survey, as well as bedrock sampling, on the Mogold claims. Several target areas
have been identified by these surveys. A permit to drill on the Mogold was obtained in 2022 with
drilling proposed for 2023.
It has come to the attention of Q Battery Metals that the Mogold claims cover part of a regional
geologic feature that has been shown to host lithium. The Quebec database indicates 14 lithium
projects associated with the margins of the La Corne Batholith. Sections of the batholith are
pegmatitic which host the lithium. One of the most prominent lithium deposits in this group is
located 10 kilometres northwest of the LaCorne South Lithium Project. 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.
The norther part of the Mogold claims cover the margin of the La Corne Batholith which is the
zone of interest for lithium.
PEGALITH PROJECT - Lithium
One of the main sources for lithium is pegmatite crystals. Pegmatite is an igneous rock that is
created when interlocking crystals form during the final stages of a magma chamber's cooling.
Pegmatite-hosted lithium deposits can contain a number of elements, including lithium, tin,
tantalum and niobium.
The Pegalith project was recently acquired by Q Met. The project is a grass roots level project
hosted in an underexplored region with great potential for new discoveries. The claims were
staked over historic mineral showings that are hosted in coarse mica and feldspar pegmatites that
were small scale mined as industrial minerals. As well, the historic Mine Leduc, located
approximately six kilometres southwest of the PegaLith property, contains a small lithium-
bearing resource (approximately 230 tonnes of 5.39% Li2O) from pegmatitic rocks, indicating
the potential for lithium-bearing pegmatites in the region. A Phase-I exploration program is to be
undertaken by QMET in 2023 to test these pegmatites for lithium potential.
PG HIGHWAY PROJECT - VMS (copper, zinc, lead, + gold and silver)
The PG Highway claims were staked by Q Met to cover an area considered prospective for
hosting massive sulphide mineralization. Several outcrops of massive pyrite and pyrrhotite were
historically trenched and sampled as part of a gold exploration program. Other elements were
generally not tested. Q Met geologists recognize the potential for Volcanogenic Massive
Sulphide mineralization within the geologic terrain underlying the PG Highway claims. As well,
pyrrhotite mineralization has been associated with platinum group elements (PGE) to the north
of the claims.
Q Met has completed airborne magnetic survey and ground-based deep penetrating
electromagnetic survey on the PG Highway project. The surveys define several targets for
potential massive sulphide mineralization. A permit to drill these targets was obtained in 2022
with drilling proposed in 2023.
LORRAIN - PGE, Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium
The Lorrain claims were located to cover a magnetic feature that is associated with an ultramafic
rock that hosts the Guimond-Church mineral showing. The showing is described as ultramafic
rock containing 0.48% Cr and 0.27% Ni. The showing has yet to be tested by modern techniques
or diamond drilling.
Historic work on the Lorrain claims included diamond drilling of other targets that are now
within the claims. In particular, a drill hole completed in 2001 is summarized as containing
substantial quantities of platinum, palladium, copper, nickel and silver. The Lorrain property
remains a project of interest for Q Battery Metals.
THE McKENZIE EAST PROPERTY- Gold, Copper
The McKenzie East is located 30 kilometres north of the city of Val-d'Or, Quebec and situated in
the prolific Abitibi greenstone-belt. The surrounding region is extremely active for gold
exploration companies, with exceptional existing infrastructure and several mills and operating
gold mines in the immediate area.
The Property is comprised of 43 cells, totaling 1656 hectares in size and is easily accessible year-
round via several logging roads. The bedrock is covered by glacial tills mainly consisting of
sand, gravel and clay ranging from 1-20 meters in depth.
The McKenzie East project comprises two claim groups separated by one kilometre. The larger
northern group totals 1,964 hectares over 42 claims, with the south totalling 178 hectares over
four claims.
The McKenzie Break project that is currently under exploration by Monarch Gold Corp. is
within two kilometres west of the company's McKenzie East Project. In June 2018, Monarch
reported a pit-constrained indicated resource of 939,860 tonnes grading 1.59 grams gold, and an
underground indicated resource of 281,739 tonnes averaging 5.90 grams gold.
Perry Grunenberg, P Geo, a "Qualified Person" as that term defined under NI 43-101 has
reviewed the technical information in this news release.
