GEM - Green Battery Expands Further into Critical Battery Minerals Through Acquisition of Jupiter Lithium Property
(TheNewswire)
VANCOUVER, BRITISHCOLUMBIA – TheNewswire - May 4th, 2023 – GreenBattery Minerals Inc. ("GEM" or the "Company") (TSXV:GEM ) , ( FSE:BK2P ) , ( WKN:A2QENP ) ( OTC:GBMIF) is pleased to announce it has optioned the “Jupiter LithiumProperty” located (175 km) southeast of Radisson, Quebec, andapproximately 25km from the Eleonore Mine Airstrip.
Tom Yingling, President and CEO ofGreen Battery, states, “This is an exciting move aimed at reducing supply shortages withinthe North American EV battery space. Expanding our explorationactivities to include lithium, one of the most critical elements in aLithium-ion battery (“LiB”), is a natural extension of our currentactivities in graphite. This move is also made to secure our ownsupply of lithium as we progress towards developing the nextgeneration of graphene-based LiBs. These LiBs show great promisecompared to regular LiBs, including higher capacity, shorter chargingcycles, greater longevity, as well as reduced size and lowerweight.”
Mr. Yingling continued, “The Jupiter property isliterally surrounded by some of the biggest lithium deposits in NorthAmerica. The fact that we have up to 33 outcropping pegmatites, withup to 315 ppm lithium sampled on the adjacent property to thesepegmatites, gives us a valid reason to be excited. These pegmatiteshave never been sampled for lithium or REE’s and we look forward toproceeding with an aggressive summer exploration program. Togetherwith the work already done at our graphite projects, GEM is positionedexceptionally well to capitalize on the enormous opportunity createdby the EV revolution”
The Jupiter Property
The Jupiter Property was optioned to explore forLithium (LCT) Pegmatites, and Rare Earth Elements (“REE”). The property is an early-stage explorationopportunity which comprises a total of 122 Quebec mineral explorationclaims which amount to a total of 6406 hectares. Up to 33 pegmatite occurrences have been identified bygovernment mapping completed over the property. Rock samples collectedadjacent to the property returned up to 315ppm lithium. These claims are strategically located within the James Baylithium prospectivity area within which are the Nemaska Lithium, JamesBay Lithium and Rose Critical Elements deposits. The JupiterProperty fulfills the Companies goal of providing additional batteryelements that go into Lithium-Ion batteries.
Property Highlights
-
The Jupiter property is located within the La Grandegeological sub-province, near the boundary with the Opinaca Subprovince the within a favourable host rock comprising “typicallyporphyritic and magnetic tonalite; with minor injections of pinkpegmatite”.
-
Up to 33 pegmatite occurrences have been identified bygovernment mapping completed over the property. Rock samples collectedadjacent to the property returned up to 315ppm lithium.
-
The acquired claims are located over regionallyelevated lake bottom sediment geochemical anomalism for Lithium, withvalues up to 100ppm along the down ice trend of the property.
-
Float Plane and Helicopter accessible, approximately175 km south of Radisson, and 25 km southwest of the Eleonore Mine andAirstrip. The northern infrastructure corridor comprising ‘Rte de laBaie-James’ provincial highway and three Power transmission lines islocated approximately 35 – 50km east of the property.

In consideration for optioning the Jupiter Property,the Company has agreed to pay the vendor $50,000 within 5 days ofsigning and an additional $250,000 before October 21, 2024. Inaddition to cash payments, the Optionee agrees to incur $100,000 ofwork expenditures by December 31, 2023 and an additional $500,000 ofwork expenditures by October 21, 2024. The Optionor will retain a 2%NSR, 1% of which can be reduced for $1,500,000 any time prior tocommercial production. The terms of the agreement are subject to theapproval of the TSX-V.

Aboutthe Berkwood Graphite Project
The Berkwood Graphite Project is located within thejurisdiction of Quebec, in the Manicouagan Regional CountyMunicipality, three hours driving time from the city of Baie-Comeau.Easy access is provided via a major secondary road and numeroustertiary and forest roads that traverse the property.
The Zone 1 deposit lies 8 km southwest of MasonGraphite’s deposit which is the subject of a current feasibilitystudy. The Company believes its Zone 1 deposit and that of Mason sharemany similar geological characteristics with the Zone 1 deposit beingone of the highest-grade graphite deposits in the world.
The current mineral resource at the Berkwood GraphiteProject includes in-pit constrained resource totalling 1,755,300tonnes of indicated resources at 17.00 % Cgr and 1,526,400 tonnes ininferred resources at 16.39 % Cgr.
