About BlueBird Battery Metals

BlueBird Battery Metals (TSXV: BATT; US: BBBMF) is a Canadian publicly listed company focused

on the global exploration and development of strategic battery metals projects, primarily cobalt and nickel.

BlueBird’s goal is to pursue a business model that offers direc t and long-term leverage to the price

appreciation in nickel and cobalt, two principal materials in EV batteries. The Company plans to become a

leader in the battery metals sector, as cobalt is currently in a global supply deficit, has a vulnerable supply

chain, and is part of an emerging sector with extraordinary potential. BlueBird is advancing its portfolio of

battery metals focused assets in Western Australia and the Yukon, Canada, and is currently reviewing new

acquisition opportunities to add to the Company’s project portfolio.

On Behalf of the Board of BlueBird Battery Metals Inc.
