Q BATTERY METALS CORP INCREASES LAND PACKAGE AT PEGALITH LITHIUM PROJECT

GATINEAU REGION, QUEBEC

March 13, 2023, Vancouver, B.C. – Q Battery Metals Corp. (“Q Metals” or the “Company) (C: QMET, OTC:

BTKRF, Frankfurt: 0NB) is pleased to announce that they have added more claims to the PegaLith Project.

The claims cover strong geological and mineralogical indicators for lithium potential. The mineral claims

now cover a total of 1,409 hectares (Ha) with expansion of the original claim block by 300 Ha, and adding

473 Ha in 6 locations spread over the region. The claims are located within 25 kilometers north of

Gatineau, Quebec.

The claims were originally staked to cover part of an extensive belt of granitic and gneissic rocks that host

pegmatitic mineralogy. Additional claims were added to cover more of the geologic belt, while adding

more historic mineral showings to the land package. The claims now 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 mica as industrial minerals . Tonnages mined are reported as ranging from 90 to

15,000 tons of material. 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.

The historic Mine Leduc is located approximately six kilometres southwest of the northern block of

PegaLith claims, and contains a lithium-bearing body (approximately 230 tonnes of 5.39% Li2O) hosted in

pegmatitic materials (GM62505, Geotec h Exploration, 2006, not 43 -101 compliant ). The reader is

cautioned that potential lithium resources that exist on properties outside of the PegaLith claims are

not direct indicators of lithium mineralization on the PegaLith property.

Q Battery Metal s geologic team are continuing to compile all available data for the PegaLith project in

preparation for a 2023 Phase I exploration program. Work is expected to be underway by late April early

May of 2023, starting with locating and sampling all historically known pegmatite bodies.
