Patriot Battery Metals Collars the First Drill Hole of its 2022 Drill Campaign at the Corvette

Lithium Property, James Bay, Quebec

Vancouver, BC, Canada

March 10, 2022 – Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Patriot”) (CSE: PMET) (OTCQB: PMETF) (FSE:

R9GA) is pleased to announce that it has collared the first drill hole of the 2022 drill campaign at its wholly owned

Corvette 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 2022 drill campaign will be completed in two phases – winter/spring and summer/fall – and is planned to include

15,000 to 20,000 m of NQ size coring utilizing two (2) drill rigs. The winter/spring drill program will test the areas

northeast and along strik e of the CV5-6 pegmatites, beneath a shallow lake, and extend to the CV1 -2 pegmatites

outcropping on the opposite shore. The primary objective will be to test for mineralized pegmatite along strike,

potentially connecting CV5-6 with CV1-2, as well as testing the mineralization at depth. The summer/fall phase will

focus on continued land -based infill and step -out drilling around CV5 -6 and CV1 -2, as well as test ing new regional

targets (see news release dated March 8th, 2022).

The aggressive 2022 drill campaign is being completed as a direct follow -up to the strong lithium -tantalum

mineralization encountered in the first four (4) drill holes to test the CV5 -6 pegmatite this past fall. Drill intercept

highlights include 155.1 m at 0.94% Li 2O and 117 ppm Ta 2O5 (CF21-002), and 58.1 m at 1.25% Li 2O and 194 ppm

Ta2O5 (CF21-003) (see news releases dated January 27th and February 3rd, 2022).

The second drill rig has also now arrived on site and is currently mobilizing from the staging area to the drill site and

is expected to begin coring shortly. 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 l ong and Property -wide CV Lithium Trend. It consists of numerous spodumene

pegmatite occurrences, which include the 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 indicate 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.
