Green Battery Minerals: The Jupiter Lithium Project
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHOwaile89g
October 19th, 2023 VANCOUVER, B.C. Green Battery Minerals Inc. (” Green” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: GEM, FSE: BK2P, WKN: A2QENP OTC: GBMIF) is pleased to announce that it has completed a preliminary reconnaissance and rock chip sampling program at its highly prospective Jupiter Lithium Property in James Bay. The Boots on the Ground work program was completed mid-September, during which period field crews successfully identified and sampled numerous previously undocumented Pegmatite outcrops. In total, the Company collected 48 samples, which were delivered to SGS Laboratories for geochemical assay and analysis.
Tom Yingling, President and CEO of GEM Commented: “Having found a large number of previously unidentified pegmatites at our James Bay Jupiter lithium property we have added significant potential value to this exciting project,” stated CEO Tom Yingling. “We are eagerly anticipating the outcome of our sampling work, especially considering the major lithium resources identified proximal to the Jupiter property. This field program was an enormous success and has not only expanded our understanding of the geological landscape but has also opened up exciting possibilities for further exploration. The remaining unexplored pegmatites hold further potential for additional resource discovery.”
Helicopter-Assisted Rock Sampling Program: Preliminary Results.
During the Company’s inaugural exploration program, the team found a number of previously undocumented pegmatites on the property and were successfully able to visit approximately half the historically recorded pegmatites. These impressive coarse-grained pegmatites were found to be up to 30 m wide and extended along strike for 100’s of meters. These large dyke-like structures presented logistical advantages providing direct helicopter access to the most intriguing outcrops on the property, emphasizing their importance.

A total of 48 samples were collected from pegmatitic outcrops across the property, including samples from at least 10 discrete pegmatite intrusives in the northern part of the property. Multiple distinct pegmatitic generations were observed on the property, all displaying encouraging indications of mineral zonation and evolved fractionation across the multitude of pegmatites observed.

The 51 samples (including three QAQC samples) collected have been submitted to SGS Laboratories in Val-d’Or Quebec to be analyzed by four acid 54 element analysis – sodium peroxide fusion, ICP-AES / ICP-MS analysis including Li, Cs & Ta. The results are anticipated to be delivered in 6 – 8 weeks. This analysis will allow us to utilize invaluable geochemical pathfinder proxy indicator methods in vectoring for lithium mineralized pegmatite dykes on the Property.
This field program was an enormous success and has not only expanded our understanding of the geological landscape but has also opened up exciting possibilities for further exploration and research. The remaining unexplored pegmatites hold the potential for additional revelations, which could significantly contribute to our knowledge of pegmatite geology and potential mineral resources in the region.

About the Jupiter Property
The Jupiter Property was optioned to explore for Lithium bearing Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (“LCT”) Pegmatites and for potential Rare Earth Elements (“REE”) deposits. The property is an early-stage exploration opportunity which comprises a total of 122 Quebec mineral exploration claims which amount to a total of 6,406 hectares. Up to 33 pegmatite occurrences were identified by historical government mapping, rock samples collected adjacent to the property returned up to 315ppm lithium. These claims are strategically located within the James Bay lithium prospectivity area within which are the Nemaska Lithium, James Bay Lithium and Rose Critical Elements deposits. The Jupiter Property meets Company’s goal of discovering deposits that host the elements critical to Lithium-Ion batteries.
Property Highlights
- The Jupiter property is located within the La Grande geological sub-province in an area known to comprise porphyritic and magnetic tonalites characterised by later injections of pink pegmatite.
- Up to 33 pegmatite occurrences have been identified by government mapping completed over the property. Rock samples collected adjacent to the property returned up to 315ppm lithium.
- The Jupiter claims are located over regionally elevated lake bottom sediment geochemical anomalism for Lithium, with values up to 100ppm along the down ice trend of the property.
- Float Plane and Helicopter accessible, approximately 175 km south of Radisson, and 25 km southwest of the Eleonore Mine and Airstrip. The northern infrastructure corridor comprising ‘Rte de la Baie-James’ provincial highway and three Power transmission lines are located approximately 35 – 50km east of the property.

About the Berkwood Graphite Project
The Berkwood Graphite Project is located within the jurisdiction of Quebec, in the Manicouagan Regional County Municipality, three hours driving time from the city of Baie-Comeau. Easy access is provided via a major secondary road and numerous tertiary and forest roads that traverse the property.
The Zone 1 deposit lies 8 km southwest of Nouveau Monde’sdeposit which has a $3.5 billion NPV on it. The Companies Zone 1 deposit, and that of Nouveau Monde, share many similar geological characteristics, with the Zone 1 deposit being of exceptionally high grade and coarse flake size by global standards.
The current mineral resource at the Berkwood Graphite Project includes in-pit constrained resource totalling 1,755,300 tonnes of indicated resources at 17.00 % Cgr and 1,526,400 tonnes in inferred resources at 16.39 % Cgr.
