Blair Way, Company President and CEO comments, “These claims are a very complimentary

addition to our Eastmain Project and the other non-core lithium properties the Company holds.

As we continue to be focused on aggressive advancement of our Corvette Project, we are also

evaluating opportunities and approaches for unlocking the value these non-core assets hold for

our shareholders.”

The Company acquired a 100% interest in the new Eastmain claims by way of a Purchase and Sale

Agreement whereby the Company paid an aggregate $500,000 cash (CAD) and issue d 120,000

common shares in the capital of the Company. There are no royalty rights associated with the

acquisition.

The Agreement has been accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange on October 27, 2023. The issued

shares are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from issuance. No finder’s

fees or commissions were paid in connection with the acquisition.

Collectively, the Eastmain Project, now consisting of four (4) blocks totaling 86 claims

(4,538.0 ha), forms part of the Company’s non- core lithium asset portfolio which includes the

Pontax (100%), Lac du Beryl (100%), and Hidden Lake (40%) properties. To date, lithium

pegmatite has been confirmed at Hidden Lake and Pontax, with significant lithium exploration

potential present throughout its non-core property portfolio.

About Patriot Battery Metals Inc.

Patriot Battery Metals Inc. is a hard -rock lithium exploration company focused on advancing its

district-scale 100% owned Corvette Property located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of

Quebec, Canada, and proximal to regional road and powerline infrastructure. The Corvette

Property hosts the CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite with a maiden mineral resource estimate of
