Vancouver, BC TheNewswire - March 11, 2025 Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS) ("Coniagas" or the "Company"), is working with Laurentia Exploration to fine tune the next drill program with both infill drilling and step-out holes on the Graal property, the Company's strategically located asset near Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, Quebec.
Prior to drilling, the Company proposes to complete a property-wide airborne mag-EM survey with particular design consideration given to the superconductive nature of the Graal base metal mineralization and with a tighter line spacing over the highly prospective area between the Discovery Zone and the MHY Zone. The data from this survey will provide critical information to guide this and future exploration programs.
Frank Basa, P.Eng. Ontario, President and CEO of Coniagas, stated, "The Graal Property has already delivered exceptional near-surface Copper and Nickel values. With this next phase of drilling, we are confident that additional holes will add lateral and vertical extent enabling known zones to be connected, all while building upon the results within known mineralized zones."
The initial drill plan, a total of 9,500m in 58 holes, is laid out to focus primarily on near-surface mineralization and to extend the best intercepts in the Discovery, MHY and Gravi Zones. Some holes will target untested surface EM anomalies from surveys conducted in the previous program. A total of 1,775 m has been allocated to a more regional approach to confirm historic intercepts peripheral to the main Zones.
Given that the known mineralization is near surface, a program of prospecting with a beep mat has been proposed to test regional extent of mineralization using known Max/Min EM anomaly trends and the airborne geophysics data received to gain a better understanding of the local geology prior to drilling program in those areas.
For Historical and recent exploration results, please see previous news release or the project section on the company website .
Strategic Location:
The Graal property boasts an excellent location north of Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, offering several logistical advantages:
Year-Round Accessibility: The site is road-accessible and drill-ready throughout the year.
Proximity to Infrastructure: The nearby Chute-de-Passe power station provides reliable and cost-effective energy.
Local Industrial Hub: The town of Lac-St. Jean, an industrial hub, offers a skilled workforce and port access to the St. Lawrence River.
Frank Basa, P.Eng. Ontario, President and CEO of Coniagas, stated, " Graal's near-surface mineralization delivers clear economic advantages. Our drill program targets zone expansion while connecting discrete bodies into one unified resource, and the shallow-depth deposit compresses development timelines by years. This benefit is amplified by our existing infrastructure and local skilled workforce ."

The presentation will focus on the Graal Project’s near-term plans including areas to be drilled and its longer-term potential as a possible nickel-copper mine with cobalt, platinum, and palladium byproducts. The Company has engaged the services of Laurentia Exploration to design and manage ongoing exploration activities at the Graal property, strategically located near an ocean port at Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, Quebec. (See Feb. 3, 2025 news release .)
Mr. Basa stated, "The prospect of expanding upon known zones and finding new zones containing nickel, copper, cobalt and PGM at Graal is encouraging from the results of the completed drill programs. Numerous drill hole intercepts confirm the potential of Graal property for hosting significant and thick massive sulfides mineralization. We will continue to add to these results within known mineralized zones to increase our understanding while stepping out to expand those zones along the defined trends while exploring for new zones.” (See maps below for NiEq and CuEq calculations and planned areas for drilling, and the Feb. 3, 2025 news release for details and supporting data.)
Currently, the interpreted geological models indicate a potential for a low-grade, large-volume orebody with local and smaller but richer and thicker lenses along a lengthy mineralized trend. This scenario suggests the possibility of having a large, low-grade starter pit that can evolve to underground mining of the rich higher-grade pockets .

Vancouver, BC TheNewswire - February 3, 2025 Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS) ("Coniagas" or the "Company"), is pleased to engage the services of Laurentia Exploration to design and manage ongoing exploration activities at the Graal property, highlighting the potential of this strategically located asset near Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, Quebec.
Frank J. Basa, President and CEO, stated, "The prospect of expanding upon known zones and finding new zones containing nickel, copper, cobalt and PGM at Graal is encouraging from the results of the completed drill programs.

We will continue to add to these results within known mineralized zones to increase our understanding while stepping out to expand those zones along the defined trends while exploring for new zones."
Historical Exploration Highlights:
The Company is excited to add to the reported excellent drilling results from the MHY, Gravi and Discovery zones, confirming shallow, near-surface mineralization. Certain significant drill intercepts include PGM values added to the equivalents:
MHY Zone : Holes GRL-22-60 and GRL-22-61

Next Steps:
The Company has engaged Laurentia Exploration to design and manage the program while continuing the permitting process to be able to expand the near surface zones at Graal. This expansion aims to further delineate the resource potential and enhance the economic viability of the project.
The Company intends on following up on the geophysical anomaly delineated by TDEM surveys on the MHY zone that indicated a large conductive layer interpreted to be approximately 1.7km long with a minimum depth extent of 850m . Due to the nature and extent of the Graal mineralization, this survey returned a strong response to this electromagnetic. The Company plans to use the same method to explore and generate new drill targets between MHY and Discovery Zones. Several BHEM (Borehole electromagnetic surveys) made in the previous drill campaign also reveal several other conductors and extension modelled by Maxwell that need to be tested or delineated.
Currently, the interpreted models indicate a potential for a low-grade, large-volume orebody with local and smaller but richer and thicker lenses along the mineralized trend, as seen in the intersection made in drillhole GRL-22-61. This scenario suggests the possibility of having a large, low-grade starter pit that can evolve to underground mining of the rich higher-grade pockets .
Strategic Location:
The Graal property boasts an excellent location north of Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, offering several logistical advantages:
Year-Round Accessibility: The site is road-accessible and drill-ready throughout the year.
Proximity to Infrastructure: The nearby Chute-de-Passe power station provides reliable and cost-effective energy.
Local Industrial Hub: The town of Lac-St. Jean, an industrial hub, offers a skilled workforce and port access to the St. Lawrence River.
