SENIOR MINING EXECUTIVE - FREDERIC MERCIER-LANGEVIN TO JOIN PATRIOT BATTERY METALS

Highly experienced and Quebec-based mining executive Frederic Mercier-Langevin will join Patriot Battery Metals Inc. commencing immediately. Mr. Mercier-Langevin takes on the role of chief development officer/chief operating officer (CDO/COO) for the company, driving the further assessment, development and value-added opportunities for Patriot's Shaakichiuwaanaan project.

Mr. Mercier-Langevin is a mining engineer by training (including a master in rock mechanics), with over 20 years of experience in open-pit and underground mining environments, leading into senior and executive roles, respectively, with both Agnico Eagle Mines and more recently Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd.

Mr. Mercier-Langevin's extensive commissioning, operations and development experience, including large-scale open-pit and underground mines in the north, is a key inclusion to Patriot's executive team. He will be instrumental in the next steps of development of the Shaakichiuwaanaan project as the team progresses toward a timely and high-quality completion of the feasibility study and ESIA (environmental and social impact assessment).

Ken Brinsden, Patriot's managing director, said: "With Frederic as a timely addition to Patriot's executive team, we are further building capability, experience and localizing the senior management team. These are important elements that will help contribute to the successful development of our Shaakichiuwaanaan project.

"Add to that Frederic's solid reputation, his engaging style and command of local Quebec conditions, we are lucky that he has chosen to join us," Mr. Brinsden added.

About Patriot Battery Metals Inc.

Patriot Battery Metals is a hard-rock lithium exploration company focused on advancing its district-scale, 100-per-cent-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan project located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, which is accessible year-round by all-season road and is proximal to regional power line infrastructure. The Shaakichiuwaanaan mineral resource, which includes the CV5 and CV13 spodumene pegmatites, totals 80.1 million tonnes at 1.44 per cent Li2O (lithium oxide) indicated and 62.5 million tonnes at 1.31 per cent Li2O inferred and ranks as the largest lithium pegmatite resource in the Americas and the eighth-largest lithium pegmatite resource in the world.

A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) was announced for the CV5 pegmatite on Aug. 21, 2024, and highlights it as a potential North American lithium raw materials powerhouse. The PEA outlines the potential for a competitive and globally significant high-grade lithium project targeting up to approximately 800,000 tonnes per annum spodumene concentrate using a simple dense media separation (DMS) only process flow sheet.
