About Patriot Battery Metals Inc.

Patriot Battery is a hardrock lithium exploration company focused on advancing its district-scale 100-per-cent-owned Corvette property located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, and proximal to regional road and power line infrastructure. The Corvette property hosts the CV5 spodumene pegmatite with a maiden mineral resource estimate of 109.2 million tonnes at 1.42 per cent lithium oxide inferred (1) and ranks as the largest lithium pegmatite resource in the Americas based on contained lithium carbonate equivalent, and one of the top-10 largest lithium pegmatite resources in the world. Additionally, the Corvette property hosts multiple other spodumene pegmatite clusters that remain to be drill tested, as well as more than 20 kilometres of prospective trend that remain to be assessed.

(1) The CV5 mineral resource estimate (109.2 Mt at 1.42 per cent Li2O and 160 parts per million tantalum pentoxide inferred) is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.40 per cent Li2O with an effective date of June 25, 2023 (through drill hole CV23-190). Mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.
