Star Metro - Battery X Metals Announces Exploration Results

The Belanger Project, located in Ontario's Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt near Red Lake, spans 109 unpatented mining claims across Belanger, Bowerman, Knott, and Mitchell townships. The Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Belanger Project pursuant to the terms of an Option Agreement dated November 30, 2023, as amended, subject to a 3% net smelter returns royalty. To exercise the option and acquire the Belanger Project, the Company is required to pay three remaining cash payments of $5,500 each on or before February 28, 2025, April 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 (for an aggregate total of $16,500).

The Belanger Project features prospective geology, including metavolcanics, felsic intrusions, and shear zones, with historical mineralization confirmed at multiple zones. The Belanger Project is accessible year-round via logging roads, with nearby infrastructure supporting exploration and potential future development.

Summary of Exploration Results:

Williamson Zone:

• Gold (Au): 11.8 g/t

• Copper (Cu): 4.59%

• Silver (Ag): 59.7 ppm

• Additional elements include Bismuth (696 ppm), Tellurium (13 ppm), and Tungsten (988 ppm)

New Gold Discovery (700m Northeast of Williamson Zone):

• Gold (Au): 1.74 g/t from rusty mafic volcanics with quartz veinlets

South Bay Road (Km 63):

• Gold (Au): 1.52 g/t

• Copper (Cu): 0.7%

• Zinc (Zn): 0.7% from sheared intermediate intrusive rocks

Joey Prospect Area:

A newly identified occurrence returned:

• Gold (Au): 135 ppb

• Copper (Cu): 0.15%

• Zinc (Zn): 484 ppm

Hemming Zone:

• Quartz veins in historical trenches returned:

• Gold (Au): 1.52 g/t

• Silver (Ag): 13.9 ppm

• Lead (Pb): 781 ppm

Discussion of Findings: The exploration program confirmed historical mineralization while identifying several new zones of gold and base metal potential. These results align with the geological characteristics of the Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt, known for hosting mineral deposits.
