VANCOUVER, British Columbia and SYDNEY, Australia, June 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (the“Company” or“Patriot”) (TSX-V: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) provides this update on its work programs and the lifting of the fire ban on the Company's operations. The fires were more than 80 kilometres away from the Company's properties and did not impact the properties. The Company commenced the 2023 summer-fall drill and surface exploration programs in late May at its wholly owned Corvette Property (the“Property” or“Project”), located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.

The 2023 summer-fall exploration includes both a drill and surface exploration program which commenced at the Property in late May. The multi-rig drill program is targeting further delineation of the CV5 and CV13 pegmatites, as well as drill testing of other previously identified spodumene pegmatite clusters (i.e., CV4, CV8-12, CV9, and CV10). The surface program comprises mapping of the known spodumene pegmatite clusters and local trends as well as prospecting and rock sampling across a large portion of the remaining 20+ km of prospective lithium pegmatite trend.
