CORVETTE PROPERTY
Corvette Property, CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite (moving west)
CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite at the Corvette Property is Strategically Located in the James Bay Region of Northern Quebec
100% owned, large consolidated land package – 214 km2
CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite
~ 13 km from all-weather road access
~ 14 km from existing hydropower lines
~ 50 km from La Grande-4 hydropower station
Access to hydro power allows for potential to produce low-carbon emissions lithium in the future
Canadian Permitting Process:
Situated within the La Grande Greenstone Belt, the Corvette Property hosts significant mineral potential over multiple deposit types.
The CV Lithium Trend is an emerging spodumene pegmatite district discovered by the Company in 2017
Patriot Battery Metals owns 100% of a 214 km2 land package situated along a ~50 km prospective lithium pegmatite trend.
In excess of 70 lithium pegmatite outcrops identified over +20 km of trend evaluated to date
Over 70 lithium pegmatite outcrops identified: 50+ km of trend with only ~25 km evaluated to date, and more than 20 km to be explored
Multiple distinct clusters of lithium pegmatite outcrop identified at the Property
CV5 Spodumene Pegmatite has been traced by drilling over a strike length of 4.35 km and remains open along strike at both ends, and to depth along a significant portion of its length
MRE update for the Corvette Project planned for mid 2024
*CV5 mineral resource (109.2 Mt at 1.42% Li2O and 160 ppm Ta2O5 inferred) is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4% Li2O with effective date of June 25, 2023. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. Refer to Mineral Resource Statement in Appendix. Largest lithium pegmatite in the Americas and 8th largest in the world based on contained LCE.
Through September 2023

The CV5 mineral resource* block model, at a pit-constrained inferred level of confidence, incorporates ~3.4 km of the total 4.35 km long pegmatite as has been defined by drilling to date.

*CV5 mineral resource (109.2 Mt at 1.42% Li2O and 160 ppm Ta2O5 inferred) is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.4% Li2O with effective date of June 25, 2023. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Cut-off grade sensitivity analysis defines very high-grade and significant tonnage at high cut-off grade, and excellent grade with significant tonnage at low cut-off grade:
This table should not be interpreted as a mineral resource statement. The data is presented to demonstrate the mineral resources sensitivity to various cut-off grades. The selected cut-off grade for the base case is 0.40% Li2O with the revenue factor 1 pit shell constraint.

Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest.

Visual observations relating to the abundance of spodumene crystals logged in the drill core should not be considered a substitute for a laboratory analysis. Assay results are required to determine the grade of mineralisation identified in geological logging
