Q PRECIOUS & BATTERY METALS ANNOUNCES DIAMOND DRILLING HOLES 4 and 5 COMPLETED

AND PROPOSED FINANCING

April 28, 2025 Vancouver, BC Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. ("QMET" or the "Company") (CSE: QMET) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling of two drill holes has been completed on the La Corne South project located north of Val d'Or, Quebec. The Company is also please to announce a proposed flow-through private placement financing.

Drilling

The drilling was designed to test two priority geophysical targets as determined by the company's exploration team (TDEM targets EMG-01 and EMG-02).

One drill hole each (holes LCS-25-04 and -05) was completed to test two TDEM anomalies. In 2024, drilling was successful at intercepting significant massive and disseminated sulphides containing copper, silver, zinc, and gold by testing similar geophysical targets (see news release dated March 19, 2025) in holes LCS-24-01 and LCS-24 - 03.

The table below provides a summary of drilling to date on La Corne South:

Drill core has been viewed by geologists at Explo-Logik in Val d'Or. The geologist report visual intercepts containing pyrite and pyrrhotite in the two recently completed drill holes, as well as sections with visual chalcopyrite. These are preliminary assessments that require further detailed observations, as well as laboratory sampling and analysis. More detailed analysis of the core will completed within the next week.

First Class Diamond Drilling Inc. was contracted to undertake diamond drilling on the La Corne South project. First Class Drilling successfully completed the first five drill holes on the project in 2024 and 2025.

Explo-Logik Inc, located in Val d'Or, is managing this phase of exploration including core logging and sampling at their facility. The first phase of drill testing the massive and semi massive sulphide mineralization at holes one through three totalled 278 samples of core from three holes. An additional 440.6 metres of drilling was completed in this most recent drilling. Core was directly delivered by Explo-Logik staff to the laboratory in Val d'Or, Quebec. The samples will be sent to Agat Labs in Val d'Or where they will undergo multi-element analysis processing that uses 4-acid digestion of pulverized samples followed by mass spectrometer detection for 48 elements, and analysis for gold, platinum, and palladium using fire assay. For quality assurance and control Explo-Logik inserted blanks, standards, or duplicates at one per every 10 samples.

Diamond drilling on the La Corne South project has been testing geophysical targets including TDEM conductivity. Three drill holes were completed at the north end of the TDEM survey area in the fall of 2024, with the results from holes 24LCS-01 and 24LCS-03 returning robust VMS-style mineralization with elevated copper, zinc, silver, and gold. As previously reported, significant downhole intercepts from hole 24-LCS-01 were summarized as follows (previous News Release September 2024):

dot 122.75-123.3 4.2% copper, 4% zinc, 0.17 ppm gold, and 30.3 ppm silver

dot 123.3-123.85 1.9% copper, 3.17% zinc, and 14.7 ppm silver

dot 123.85-124.4 0.79% copper, 1.3% zinc, and 7.33 ppm silver

dot 125.5-126 2.61% copper

*True widths of mineralization have not yet been determined

The weighted average for the total mineralized zone from 102.15 metres to 127.6 metres in hole 24LCS-01 was calculated as:

0.83% copper equivalent over 25.45 metres*

From hole 24-LCS-03, significant downhole intercepts were returned including;

dot 108.75-109.75 2.68% copper, and 23.45 ppm silver dot 110.2-111.4 2.66% copper, and 24.05 ppm silver

The weighted average copper equivalent for hole 24LCS-03 continuous intercept from 104.85 metres to 112.75 metres downhole depth was calculated as (previous news release dated January 21, 2025);

1.17 % copper equivalent** over 7.9 metres* *Note that the true widths of mineralization have not yet been determined for any of the intercepts reported to date.

Diamond drilling undertaken by QMET to date has tested isolated areas within a larger 2.5 kilometer long corridor of magnetic high with associated pockets of elevated conductivity (see map below). The conductivity testing by TDEM survey was limited to a two kilometer by one kilometer area. The company expects to expand the surface geophysical testing to cover more of the property, including testing of areas with high magnetism by TDEM survey to outline potential massive sulphide with elevated pyrrhotite. The company's geologic team is currently in discussion regarding possible exploration programs for the summer-fall of 2025. This could include surface and down-hole geophysics, and expanding the surveys to the north of the current TDEM coverage, as well as drill testing of strong TDEM targets further to the east of the current area of exploration (see map below). Magnetic and conductive anomalies to the east have been shown to have surface expression where sulphide bodies have been historically trenched and drilled. These areas will be further explored in 2025.

The company will now begin core logging and rock sawing of holes LCS-25-04 and LCS-25-05 and then send to lab.
