PowerStone Provides Update on Option

Agreement with CBLT Inc

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 2, 2024) - PowerStone Metals Corp. (CSE: PS)

(OTCQB: PWMCF) (FSE: W0R) ("

PowerStone

" or the "

Company

") announces that five of the nine

claims (the "

Claims

") which form the Chilton Cobalt Property (the "

Property

") in Quebec, Canada,

which is subject to an option agreement between the Company and CBLT Inc. ("

CBLT

") dated June 13,

2022 (the "

Option Agreement

"), were designated as part of a restricted area by the Ministry of Natural

Resources and Forests (Quebec) (the "

MNRF

") on November 17, 2023 (the "

Moratorium

"). As a result

of the lapsed Claims not being renewed prior to their expiry on October 20, 2023 and the

implementation of the Moratorium, the MNRF has advised that the lapsed Claims cannot be restaked

until at least May 17, 2024.

The Company and CBLT are working collaboratively to restake the lapsed Claims. There can be no

assurances that such efforts will be successful. The Claims that remain subject to the Option Agreement

with CBLT are Claims 2470430, 2470431, 2470432 and 2477045.

While the Company remains committed to advancing the Property and deploying the work expenditures

necessary before December 31, 2024 to wholly-own the Property in accordance with the terms of the

Option Agreement, the Company is assessing the impact of these events on the continued viability of the

Property and continues to evaluate the acquisition of additional mineral exploration properties.
