Grid Battery Announces the Completion of the Second Phase of its 2025 Fall Exploration Program on Its Gold-Copper Property
Grid Battery Metals (OTCQB:EVKRF) has completed the second phase of its fall exploration program on its 275 km² Gold-Copper mineral project in Central British Columbia. The exploration focused on the Jupiter and Starlight claim blocks, with key activities including:
At the Jupiter Claim Block, the team collected 25 B-horizon soil samples and conducted detailed prospecting in "Work Area 15," which contains phyllite outcrops with quartz veins. The Starlight Claim Block exploration yielded 72 rock samples and 24 soil samples, revealing various styles of alteration and copper mineralization including malachite, chalcocite, bornite, and chalcopyrite.
The property is strategically located between Centerra Gold's Kemess North project and Mount Milligan mine, which has produced over 1.8 million ounces of gold and 742 million pounds of copper. Assay results are expected by the end of fall.

COQUITLAM, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 25, 2025 / Grid Battery Metals Inc. (the "Company" or "Grid") (TSXV:CELL)(OTCQB:EVKRF)(FRA:NMK2) is pleased to announce that the second phase of the fall exploration program on our 275 km2 Gold-Copper mineral project in Central British Columbia, Canada has been completed by our Canadian contract geological team, Hardline Exploration www.hardlineexploration.com. The second exploration phase concentrated additional exploration work in the Jupiter and Starlight claim blocks located to the furthest west (Jupiter) and furthest north (Starlight) of the Grid BC Gold-Copper Project.
Please refer to the Technical Report for Grid BC Copper-Gold Project, dated January 24, 2025 prepared by Jeremy Hanson, P.Geo. (filed on SEDAR+ and our website).
Jupiter Claim Block
Additional work performed on the Jupiter Claim Block included three east-west oriented soil lines south of the cirque basin, 25 B-horizon soil samples together with silt and rock samples were collected. The area traversed in phase 2, referred to as "Work Area 15" contains outcrops of phyllite, which host numerous quartz veins.
Program Objective
The 2025 exploration program was designed to conduct a focused evaluation of the "Work Area 15" target, a high-priority geochemical anomaly identified by previous operators. The work involved two complementary activities:
Detailed prospecting and rock sampling directly on the ridge-top anomaly.
First-pass soil and rock sampling in the cirque basin situated directly below Work Area 15.
Geological Context and Rationale
The program's target was derived from a 2021 exploration program completed by Equity Exploration on behalf of South 32 Ltd. (BC Assessment Report 39911). That work identified Work Area 15 as a high-priority target due to its "High Geochemical Rank" and anomalous values in multiple pathfinder elements, including Ag, Cu, Mn, and Pb. A Worldview-3 satellite alteration survey, also part of the 2021 program, identified iron oxide signatures on the ridge at Work Area 15.
The current program represents the first follow-up work by Grid Battery Metals on this specific target.

Starlight Claim Block
Additional work conducted at the Starlight Claim Block included reconnaissance prospecting, rock, and soil sampling. A total of 72 rock samples and 24 conventional soil samples were collected during traverses along prominent ridgelines in the western and central portions of the property, east of the Pinchi Fault. Prospecting in these areas confirmed the presence of a suite of intermediate to felsic intrusive rocks, including quartz diorite, granodiorite, monzodiorite, and monzonite. Various styles of alteration were noted, most commonly potassic (K-feldspar) alteration, which was observed both pervasively and as veins. Localized epidote and chlorite alteration were also recorded. Observations of copper mineralization included malachite, chalcocite, bornite, and chalcopyrite, often associated with altered intrusive rocks.
Following up on the additional prospecting and sampling, a Targeted MMI Geochemical Survey was designed to test two distinct target areas.
Northern Target: A discrete magnetic anomaly located along the main northwest-trending magnetic lineament that corresponds with the mapped trace of the Pinchi Fault.
Southern Target: An area adjacent to a historical copper-gold-molybdenum MMI anomaly, focusing on the trend of a strong molybdenum response identified by previous operators.

Mr. Tim Fernback, President & CEO comments "The exploration program follows up on previous work conducted and includes geochemistry across various untested magnetic features on Starlight and Jupiter claims. This area of British Columbia has already generated several promising projects, and our land package is strategically situated to exploit the high gold-copper values of the region. Nearby the Mount Milligan open pit gold-copper mine operated by Centerra Gold (TSX: GX, NYSE:CGAU) recently announced its pre-feasibility study that extended the life of its open pit ming by about 10 years. The area has proven itself to be a great place to look for both gold and copper. We have said this many times, British Columbia is well known to be a safe and mining-friendly jurisdiction with reasonable government permitting processes and great mining infrastructure."
Mr. Fernback continues "We expect to have these assay results by the end of the fall and shortly thereafter our team plans to devise next exploration steps identified on the various claim blocks we hold in the area."
About the BC Gold-Copper Property
The Company acquired a
The Company's claims are also located between Centerra Gold Inc.'s (TSX: CG, NYSE: CGAU) prominent Copper/Gold assets, the Kemess North project and the operating Mount Milligan mine, which has produced over 1.8 million ounces of gold and 742 million pounds of copper (Technical Report on the Mount Milligan Mine, November 7, 2022, Borntrager. B, et al.).
B.C. Minfile assessment report data indicates that most of the area covered by the Copper Property was at one time or another covered by staking during surges of exploration in B.C. dating from the 1940's to present day. Largely the claims appear to have been minimally explored with little follow-up. However, some work was recorded on several claims with results for stream sediment sampling showing anomalous to highly anomalous results for gold in a few areas. These areas were recommended for detailed follow-up, however due to a downturn no further work was recorded
The Omineca Group claim areas are within the northern Quesnel Trough underlain by Cache Creek Terrane and lies close to the Pinchi Fault. The Quesnel Trough hosts numerous porphyry copper-gold deposits. The Pinchi Fault can be traced for 600 km through north-central B.C and separates Cache Creek rocks from the Jurassic Hogem Batholith and Triassic-Jurassic Takla rocks to the west. Rocks have a north-northwest strike trend typical of the entire Intermontane Belt in which the Cache Creek Terrane lies (Gabrielse and Yorath, 1992). A wide range of Jurassic to Tertiary intrusions cuts the Cache Creek Assemblage and many of these are emplaced along the prominent NW-trending structures and stratigraphic breaks. Numerous mercury occurrences are present along the length of the Pinchi fault (Albino, 1987) and a few gold and base metal occurrences are present near the Pinchi fault including the Lustdust, Lorraine, Indata and Axelgold properties. There are at least two alkalic gold-copper Porphyry systems in the immediate Lustdust (now known as Stardust) area: J49 and Axel Properties (Schiarrizza, 2000).
The QP has been unable to verify the information, and that the information is not necessarily indicative to the mineralization on the property that is the subject of the disclosure.

About Texas Springs Property
The Company owns a
The Texas Spring property adjoins the southern border of the Nevada North Lithium Project - owned by Surge Battery Metals Inc. ("Surge") (TSXV: NILI, OTC: NILIF) and comprised of 725 mineral claims. Surge's first round of drilling identified strongly mineralized lithium bearing clays. The average lithium content within all near surface clay zones intersected in the 2022 drilling program, applying a 1000 ppm cut-off, was 3254 ppm. (Press release March 29, 2023). More recent results have shown higher grade lithium up to 8070 ppm on this property after initial drilling (Press release September 12, 2023). Our exploration results are on-trend with these results.
