Star Metro - American Battery Materials Receives Approvals to Reenter Exploration Well in Utah

David Graber, CEO of American Battery Materials, stated, "We are excited to be resuming exploration activities in Utah, and we believe the project has great potential with the confirmation of deposits in the existing Peterson Fed 88-21P well bore. Lisbon Valley will be our immediate focus moving into 2025."

These approvals come following detailed reviews by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Utah Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining (DOGM). According to the BLM's decision, the Company's Notice was deemed complete and compliant with regulations, requiring a financial guarantee to ensure proper reclamation. Similarly, DOGM's tentative approval affirmed readiness for the project, contingent on final surety concurrence.

This milestone underscores the Company's commitment to advancing its direct lithium extraction (DLE) capabilities in an environmentally responsible manner, supporting the growing demand for domestic critical minerals.
