Q PRECIOUS & BATTERY METALS

BEGINS ACCESS CONSTRUCTION FOR DIAMOND DRILLING

LA CORNE SOUTH PROJECT, Val d’Or Quebec

March 17, 2025 Vancouver, B.C., – Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. (“QMET” or the “Company”) (CSE: QMET)

is pleased to announce that construction of access and drill pads has begun on the La Corne South project located

north of Val d’Or, Quebec. The company will construct 1.5 kilometres of excavated access and four drill pads in

preparation for diamond drilling. The drill pads will allow for drill testing of two priority geophysical targets as

determined by the company’s exploration team.

First Class Diamond Drilling Inc. has been contracted to construct the new access and pads, and to undertake

diamond drilling on the La Corne South project. First Class Drilling successfully completed the first three drill holes

on the project in 2024, and QMET is delighted to have them continue with the 2025 drilling.

Diamond drilling of TDEM and magnetic anomalies in 2024 was successful at intercepting significant massive and

disseminated sulphides containing copper, silver, zinc, and gold ( see previous releases of January 20, 2025, and

September 9, 2024). This next phase of drilling on the La Co rne South is designed to test similar geophysical

anomalies approximately two kilometres south of the 2024 drilling. A permit amendment has been approved to

allow access to these new target areas. Drilling is scheduled to commence next week.
