Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. announced 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.

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), 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. Coniagas Battery Metals is poised to expand aggressively on its property, Graal, with a focus on becoming the premier junior explorer for Cu-Ni-Co-PG E 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.
