Q BATTERY METALS CORP.

EXPLORATION BEGINS ON THE PEGALITH LITHIUM PROJECT

GATINEAU, QUEBEC

May 10, 2023 Vancouver, B.C. – Q Battery Metals Corp. (“Q Battery” or the “Company”) (C: QMET, OTC:

BTKRF, FRA: 0NB ) is pleased to announce that exploration has begun on the Pegalith project located

immediately north of Gatineau, Quebec. Q Battery Metals contracted Maxima Resources Inc. (“Maxima”)

to complete exploration programs on two projects owned by Q Battery Metals, the Pegalith and the La

Corne South.

As previously released, t he Pegalith Project contains strong geological and mineralogical indicators for

lithium potential. The mineral claims cover a total of 1,409 hectares (Ha) located within 25 kilometers

north of Gatineau, Quebec. The claims cover or are in close proximity to 12 historic showings where small-

scale mining was undertaken in the early 1900’s to extract coarse-grained feldspar, quartz and mi ca as

industrial minerals . Several of the mines also extracted apatite, tourmaline, sphene and titanite . The

geologic summary for these historic mines indicate that the main lithology is pegmatite or other intrusive

rocks (see Q Battery News Release dated March 12, 2023). The Phase I work program to be undertaken

by Maxima Resources will include locating and sampling as many of the historically documented

pegmatite showings as possible, to assess the lithium potential of those showings.

The Q Battery Metals geologic team also note that very high silver values were returned from government

rock samples taken from outcrop s located close to the “Mine Winning” historic mica and feldspar

pegmatite body. One sample returned 600 ppm silver (approximately 20 ounces per tonne) from

pegmatitic rocks. Results from government sampling were obtained from the Sigeom database. A total of

14 rock samples were shown in the database to be from within the project area. Analysis was undertaken

for whole rock (18 parameters) and 12 elements (not including lithium). The rocks with high silver were

noted to have high potassium, sodium and silica content as may be expected from pegmatitic or granitic

rocks.

Following completion of the Pegalith Phase I program, the Maxima team will move to the La Corne South

project to sample pegmatite and massive sulphide-bearing outcrops.

The Q Battery Metals exploration programs in Quebec are supervised by Dr. Mathieu Piché, OGQ, who is

also a Q Battery Metals company director.
