PATRIOT BATTERY METALS ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF PIERRE BOIVIN TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Patriot Battery Metals Inc. has appointed Pierre Boivin to its board of directors effective June 12, 2023. The appointment follows the planned retirement of Dusan Berka from the board of directors.

Ken Brinsden, non-executive chairman, comments: "On behalf of the board I would like to extend a warm welcome to Pierre. He is the Quebec leader of the global metals and mining group at McCarthy Tetrault and is widely recognized in the legal industry for leading complex strategies focused on mergers and acquisitions, private equity and related commercial matters, notably in the mining sector on both a domestic and international scale.

"Over the years, he has also acquired invaluable experience as a corporate director of several noteworthy organizations. We look forward to his insights and guidance as we continue to advance Patriot into becoming the premier, sustainable, long-term lithium raw material supplier to meet the growing North American energy transition."

Blair Way, chief executive officer, president and director, comments on Mr. Berka's retirement: "Dusan has had a distinguished international mining and engineering career that has spanned more than 50 years. He has worked in many sectors throughout his career and has been a very active member in the junior mining sector for the past 40 years. Dusan was one of the original founders of the company since its incorporation in 2007, board member and chief financial officer of Patriot for over 10 years. He has been a loyal, driven and dedicated director and key member of the management team. He was instrumental in laying the foundation for the success of the company. His efforts have been a large part of our successful transformation to date and his wisdom and insights over the many years will be greatly missed. On behalf of management and the board, we wish Dusan and his family all the very best in retirement."
