Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 23, 2024) - Battery X Metals Inc. (CSE: BATX) ("Battery X Metals" or the "Company") wishes to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of $427,150.00. Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company will issue 4,271,500 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share (each, a "Share") and one (1) common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable into one (1) Share at an exercise price of $0.20 until January 24, 2026.

The Company intends to use the proceeds raised from the Private Placement for general working capital purposes, including shareholder engagement/investor relations services and for marketing programs. The securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws, of four months and one day from the date of issue, expiring May 25, 2024.

In connection with the Private Placement, an insider of the Company, Matthew Markin, CFO and Director of the Company, purchased 300,000 Units for total consideration of $30,000. Insider participation in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Units purchased by the Insider, nor the consideration for the Units paid by the Insider, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Private Placement in an expeditious manner.

Cash finder's fees in an aggregate amount of $6,732.00 will be paid in connection with the Private Placement and a total of 55,320 finder units of the Company (the "Finder Units") will be issued. Each Finder Unit comprises one (1) common share in the capital of the Company ("Finder Share") and one (1) transferable common share purchase warrant of the Company ("Finder Warrant"). Each Finder Warrant is exercisable to acquire an additional common share of the Company ("Finder Warrant Share") at a price of $0.20 per Finder Warrant Share until January 24, 2026.
