Patriot Battery Metals Announces Mobilization of First Drill Rig to the Corvette Lithium

Property, James Bay, Quebec

Vancouver, BC, Canada

March 1, 2022 – Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Patriot”) (CSE: PMET) (OTCQB: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA)

is pleased to announce it has mobilized the first of two drill rigs to commence the winter drill program at its wholly

owned Corvette Lithium Property (the “Property”), located in the James Bay Region of Quebec. The target drill area

at the CV Lithium Trend is located approximately 13.5 km south of the regional and all -weather Trans-Taiga Road

and powerline infrastructure.

The winter phase of the planned 15,000 to 20,000 m drill exploration campaign will focus on further delineation of

the CV 1 through CV7 lithium pegmatite outcrop corridor, where the initial four (4) drill holes to test the CV5 -6

Prospect returned strong lithium-tantalum mineralization. This is highlighted by drill hole CF21-002 with 0.94% Li2O

and 117 ppm Ta2O5 over 155.1 m, and drill hole CF21- 003 with 58.1 m at 1.25% Li 2O and 194 ppm Ta 2O5 (see news

releases dated January 27, 2021, and February 3, 2022). The primary objective of the winter program will be to test

the continuity between the CV5 and CV1 lithium pegmatites outcrops.

Company President and Director , Blair Way , comments: “It is very exciting to be commencing our second drill

program on the Corvette Property, which will consist of considerably more meterage than the fall 2021 program. This

is a huge next step for the Company as we deploy our $13M war chest on the exploration and development of the

Corvette Property and its lithium endowment . I look forward to this next round of drilling and am very optimistic of

what we will discover between the CV1 and CV5 outcrops”

The first drill hole collar of the 2022 drill campaign is anticipated shortly, as the first drill rig and equipment are

currently being prepped for mobilization from t he staging area to the first drill site. The second dril l rig, as well as

the remaining support staff , will arrive on site shortly thereafter . The Company has engaged Forage Fusion Drilling

Ltd. of Hawkesbury, Ont., to carry out the diamond drilling with the program being managed by Dahrouge Geological

Consulting Ltd. of Edmonton, AB.

The Company notes that it has developed a COVID Management Plan for the program and will carry out its field

programs while adhering to all federal, provincial, and regional restrictions in place due to the COVID -19 pandemic.

Mineral exploration has been recognized as an essential service in Canada and the Province of Quebec.

About the CV Lithium Trend

The CV Lithium Trend is an emerging spodumene pegmatite district discovered by the Company in 2017 and spans

the FCI West, FCI East, and Corvette claim blocks. The core area includes an approximate 2 km long corridor, which

is part of the more than 25 -km long and Property -wide CV Lithium Trend. It consists of numerous spodumene

pegmatite occurrences, which include th e CV1, CV2, CV3, CV5, CV6, and CV7 pegmatites, highlighted by the CV5

Pegmatite – a large (~220 m long and 20- 40 m wide), well -mineralized outcrop with drill intercepts of 155.1 m at

0.94% Li2O and 117 ppm Ta2O5 (CF21-002), and 58.1 m at 1.25% Li2O and 194 ppm Ta2O5 (CF21-003). Drilling indicates

a pegmatite body approximating 60 m in true width, and therefore considerably larger than that observed in outcrop.

The high number of well-mineralized pegmatites in this core area of the trend indicates a strong potential for a series

of relatively closely spaced/stacked, sub-parallel, and sizable spodumene-bearing pegmatite bodies, with significant

lateral and depth extent, to be present.
