Nord CEO Highlights Coniagas and its Graal Nickel-Copper Project in Quebec to Investors

Coniagas (and Nord) CEO Frank Basa presented to Quebec investors last week and conducted two video interviews in March….

Focused on Coniagas’ Graal project near Saguenay — a large, high-grade nickel and copper deposit with cobalt, platinum and palladium byproduct….

Which our geologists are excited about because even with limited drilling so far they believe it is large enough to potentially be a mine providing critical metals for the North American energy transition.

Coniagas Battery Metals Secures Critical Ground Near SOQUEM’s Cardinal Property, Accelerating Expansion into High-Grade Cu-Ni-Co-PGE Deposits

Developing a High-Grade Battery Metals property portfolio in Quebec, Coniagas aims to advance these properties towards production

Vancouver, BC – March 25, 2024 – Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS) (“Coniagas” or the “Company”), a leading junior exploration company focused on battery metals, proudly announces its strategic acquisition of key ground near SOQUEM’s Cardinal Property, situated 80 km southeast of Chibougamau, Quebec. This significant move underscores Coniagas’ commitment to capitalizing on high-grade copper-nickel-cobalt-platinum group elements (Cu-Ni-Co-PGE) deposits in the region.

Coniagas has staked a total of 28.3 square kilometers of ground in multiple packages. The new package contains 531 claims for 28,397 hectares. This new property package is now dubbed Dartagnan. There is highway access to the southern part of Dartagnan as well as a network of logging roads providing access to other parts. See map below. Not only is there good access but there is a power corridor leading to Chibougamau running through Dartagnan South. We are committed to developing properties with good infrastructure in the world leading mining jurisdiction of Quebec.

SOQUEM, a recognized leader in mineral exploration in Quebec, has reported impressive grades from their Richelieu and Edgar zones. Notable drill highlights include grades of up to 0.92% copper, 0.73% nickel, 0.11% cobalt, along with 0.56 g/t platinum, 0.46 g/t palladium, and 0.11 g/t gold values over an impressive 25.3m starting at downhole depth 130.7m (drill hole 1438-23-009 from SOQUEM press release March 1, 2024), affirming the rich mineral potential of the area. The Edgar zone reporting similar grades over 1.9m much shallower starting downhole depth of 67.2m.

By strategically staking ground adjacent to SOQUEM’s Cardinal Property, Coniagas has leveraged local prospectors’ expertise and regional geological data, including magnetic features and lake sediment samples with anomalous base metals. This proactive approach underscores Coniagas’ dedication to identifying and securing promising exploration targets with the potential for significant mineralization.

Frank J. Basa, CEO of Coniagas Battery Metals, commented, “The SOQUEM copper, nickel and cobalt grades and widths are excellent; we are really excited to move into the area. The added benefit of the strong PGE/Au component will definitely drive value.”

Coniagas Battery Metals is poised to expand aggressively on its flagship property, Graal, with a focus on becoming the premier junior explorer for Cu-Ni-Co-PGE deposits in Quebec. This strategic acquisition aligns with Coniagas’ overarching goal of acquiring and developing high-quality, high-grade properties in the region, thereby solidifying its position as a leading player in the battery metals exploration sector.

Coniagas wishes to thank Laurentian Exploration of Jonquiere, Quebec for assisting with the Dartagnan acquisition.
