Q PRECIOUS ACQUIRES 248 CLAIMS IN NOVA SCOTIA

Mr. Richard Penn reports

QMET EXPANDS STRATEGIC LAND POSITION ADJACENT TO QIMC'S SOUTHAMPTON AREA FOLLOWING POSITIVE RESULTS, WELCOMES PRO-GROWTH LEGISLATION, AND ANNOUNCES NEXT PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT

Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. has acquired four additional licences in Nova Scotia, adding 248 new claims to its growing land package. With this expansion, Q Precious & Battery Metals now controls 35 licences totalling over 2,173 claims, consolidating its position as the second-largest claims holder in the hydrogen areas, after its partner, Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.

The newly acquired ground was strategically staked adjacent to Quebec Innovative Materials' Southampton area and Q Precious & Battery Metals' Springhill area, where recent exploration results have highlighted the region's strong results for natural hydrogen. Q Precious & Battery Metals believes these findings materially increase the development of the surrounding acreage, and the additional claims were secured to strengthen the company's exposure to clean natural hydrogen districts.

"Our decision to expand directly next to QIMC's Southampton claims was driven by the recent technical results recently released from that area," said Richard Penn, chief executive officer of Q Precious & Battery Metals. "We are determined to secure the most prospective ground alongside our partners. This positions QMET to maximize value as momentum builds in Nova Scotia's hydrogen basin."

Coming Development Programs

Q Precious & Battery Metals confirms that its partners, Quebec Innovative Materials and INRS (Institut national de la recherche scientifique), will return to Nova Scotia on Oct. 5, 2025, to continue advancing exploration. Fieldwork will focus on expanding data sets, and preparing for phase 3 and phase 4 programs across Q Precious & Battery Metals' enlarged land package.

"These upcoming phases will allow us to build on the success at Southampton and Springhill area refine our exploration model across a much larger, contiguous land position," added Mr. Penn. "By expanding next to proven results, we are enhancing the potential scale of what could become a major clean energy development in Atlantic Canada."

Support for New Pro-Growth Legislation

Q Precious & Battery Metals also applauds the Province of Nova Scotia for introducing new legislation designed to streamline permitting, reduce red tape and support responsible natural resource development. The company views these pro-growth measures as an important catalyst for job creation, clean energy innovation and investment in the province.
