March 8, 2023, Vancouver, BC – Q Battery Metals Corp. (“Q Battery Metals” or the “Company) is pleased
to provide a n update on the exploration targeting on their mineral claims located north of Val d’Or,
Quebec. In particular, the potential for lithium mineralization has recently become a new focus for the
claims.
Preliminary review of the rock sampling results from the 2021 Q Battery Metals work program indicates
elevated lithium in the area of the Boily-Berubé mineral showing. Table 1 summarizes rock samples that
returned elevated lithium. The samples were obtained to test for VMS potential and were not targeted
on rocks that might better return lithium results.
The Boily-Berubé mineral showing is documented as being associated with granitic pegmatites. Stripping
carried out in 1989 exposed a pegmatitic vein containing molybdenite with some grains of pyrite and
traces of chalcopyrite and malachite (GM49151). Several coarse quartz veins were exposed in the area of
the showing, with some returning elevated molybdenum and bismuth values (GM16255).
The Lac Fiedmont South mi neral showing, on the eastern margin of the Q Battery Metals claims, has
similar geology to the Boily-Berubé, including molybdenite hosted in pegmatite.

Initial review of historic drilling on the La Corne South indicates that pegmatitic rocks were intersected in
drilling undertaken by Noranda Inc. in 2004, while they were exploring base metal targets. Not all of the
core was sampled for lithium, but one hole (FIE -15-04-01, report GM62134) where sampling for lithium
was undertaken, returned up to 333 ppm lithium (186.1-187.6 metres depth). This drill hole was collared
one kilometre northwest of the Boily-Berubé showing. A summary of lithium results from this 2004 drill
hole is provided on table 2. Th e drill hole was oriente d at a -45 degree angle toward azimuth 054,
intersecting komatiite with interstitial coarse grained granite. The drill hole also returned elevated copper
and molybdenum values.

The reader is cautioned that historic trenching and drilling results reported by various operators have
not been verified by Q Battery Metals.
Q Battery Metal’s La Corne South Project contact the La Corne Batholith within the northern section of
the claim block. The La Corne Batholith and the volcanic rocks on the margin of the batholith host several
well-documented lithium deposits. Of particular significance , approximately 10 kilometres to the north,
Sayona Mining Ltd is in the process of restarting the North American Lithium (NAL) mine. The NAL mine
has a reported proven ore reserve of 1.2 million tonnes of 0.92% Li 2O and probable reserve of 28 million
tonnes of 0.96% Li2O (https://www.mining.com/sayona-raises-136m-for-quebec-lithium-projects-restart-
in-2023/). The reader is cautioned that potential lithium resources that exist on properties outside of
the Q Battery Metals claims are not direct indicators of lithium mineralization on the claims.
The La Corne lithium mineralization is hosted in a series of pegmatitic bodies that cut the hornblende
granodiorite of the La Corne Batholite and the mafic volcanic group rocks. The NAL mineralization consists
of spodumene, beryl, tantalite, molybdenite, bismithinite and lepidolite contained in granitic pegmatites
(Sigeom).
Q Battery Metals is currently planning 2023 exploration programs on their lithium projects as well as
continuing to test the best VMS targets outlined on the Mogold and PG Highway claims. The company is
pleased with the indications of lithium mineralization documented in the historic work, with exploration
designed to test the best targets. Lithium exploration will also be undertaken on the newly acquired
Pegalith Project located north of Gatineau (see News Release dated February 6, 2023).
Q Battery Metals exploration programs undertaken in Quebec are supervised by 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 strategic
metals and precious metals.
