Global Battery Metals Responds to Press Releases Regarding Proposed Sale of LRH Resources Limited to European Lithium

Vancouver, British Columbia April 22, 2024 Global Battery Metals Ltd. (the "Company" or "GBML" or "Global Battery Metals") (TSXV: GBML; OTCQB: REZZF; Frankfurt: REZ), an international critical mineral exploration company focused on growth-oriented lithium, copper and battery metal projects, has been made aware of an announcement by European Lithium Ltd. ("EUR") and an announcement by Technology Minerals plc ("TMI") of the proposed sale of LRH Resources ("LRH") from TMI to EUR for $10mil USD worth of Critical Metals Corp. shares (CRML: NASDAQ).

Through the proposed sale of LRH, TMI is suggesting the transfer of TMI's interests in the Leinster Lithium Project in Ireland. The press releases identify 23 licenses being transferred as part of the Leinster Lithium Project. GBML effectively maintains the right to earn a 90% interest in 16 of these licenses and a right of first refusal in respect of the transfer of the licenses. All exploration work referred to in the EUR press release was conducted on these 16 licenses.

At this time, GMBL has not agreed to any transaction and remains open to considering all existing and alternative strategies moving forward.
