NEW AGE METALS RECEIVES $ 300,000 GRANT FROM

MANITOBA MINERAL DEVELOPMENT FUND

7th June 2023, Rockport, Ontario – New Age Metals Inc. ( TSXV: NAM) (OTCQB: NMTLF)

(FSE: P7J) ("NAM" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the Manitoba Mineral Development

Fund (MMDF) has approved a grant of $ 300,000 for the Company. The allotment of this amount will be

in three $ 100,000 installments.

NAM will provide MMDF/Manitoba Government access to all information related to the Project(s)

activities performed, and expenditures incurred, directly or indirectly, for the entire amount of funding

allocated to them.

The funding will be used for the following purposes as outlined in the previous Press Release (subject to

change):

• Mapping – Complete updated property bedrock geology maps with detailed structural analysis of

pegmatite distribution and internal zonation

• Lithogeochemistry – Property wide rock sampling to gather geochemical data on identified

targets and develop future drill targets

• Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) Soil Geochemistry – Targeted sampling grids to identify pegmatite

extensions and anomalous areas where surficial cover prohibits bedrock analysis

• Biogeochemistry - Targeted sampling grids to identify pegmatite extensions and anomalous areas

where the terrain does not permit MMI soil sampling

The Summer Field Program is planned to better define historical documented showings and anomalous

grab samples collected between 2018-2022, as well as to potentially locate buried LCT pegmatites. The

main objective is to define and prioritize drill targets and bring additional projects to a drill ready stage in

an effort to establish an economically exploitable lithium deposit in close proximity to Tanco Mine.

The MMDF funding will be in addition to our $2 million preliminary budget approved by our partner

Mineral Resources Limited (“MinRes”). An additional and final 2023/2024 budget has been submitted to

MinRes and is expected to be approved in Summer 2023.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and our Shareholders, we would like to thank Manitoba Mineral

Development Fund for the grant, and we look forward to putting this money to good use.

About NAM

New Age Metals is a junior mineral exploration and development company focused on the discovery,

exploration, and development of green metal projects in North America. The Company has two divisions:

a Platinum Group Metals division and a Lithium/Rare Element division.

The PGM Division includes the 100% owned, multi-million-ounce, district-scale River Valley Project,

one of North America’s largest undeveloped Platinum Group Metals Projects, situated 100 km by road

east of Sudbury, Ontario. The Company plans to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment and

announce its findings by the summer of 2023. In addition to River Valley, NAM owns 100% of the road

accessible Genesis PGM-Cu-Ni Project in Alaska and plans to complete an Option-Joint Venture

arrangement with a third party mining company to develop the project.

The Company’s Lithium Division is one of the largest mineral claim holders in the Winnipeg River

Pegmatite Field, where the Company is exploring for hard rock lithium and various rare elements such as

tantalum, rubidium, and caesium. The company has announced its preliminary $2 million 2023/24

exploration budget that will cover the first 4 months of the program. A larger budget has been submitted

to our partner MinRes and we expect it to be approved this summer. Further Exploration plans for 2023

include geophysical surveying, summer field work (which will include mapping, lithogeochemistry, MMI

Soil Geochemistry, Biogeochemistry, Channel sampling), and Permits/Archaeological surveys.

The company has a partnership with Mineral Resource Limited (MRL, ASX: MIN), a top global lithium

producer to explore and develop the Company’s lithium project portfolio in Southern Manitoba.

Our philosophy is to be a project generator with the objective of optioning our projects with major and

junior mining companies through to production. The Company is actively seeking an option/ joint venture

partner for its road-accessible Genesis PGM-Cu-Ni project in Alaska, and its 3 100% owned lithium

projects in Northern Manitoba.
