IBAT APPOINTS ENERGY TRANSITION-RESOURCE EXPERT RITA ADIANI TO ADVISORY BOARD

International Battery Metals Ltd. has appointed Rita Adiani to its advisory board. Ms. Adiani has significant experience in capital raising, M&A (merger and acquisition), and resource and energy transition technology integration. She has worked for nearly two decades as a senior-level executive in the resource industry spanning roles in corporates, private equity, investment banking and corporate law. Ms. Adiani serves as senior vice-president, for strategy and corporate development at Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (Toronto Stock Exchange listed) and continues to serve on the board of Brixton Metals of Vancouver.

"We are fortunate to have someone of Rita's stature in the energy transition industry join our advisory board," said Garry Flowers, chief executive officer of International Battery Metals. "This is an important time of growth for our company, and Rita's seasoned knowledge will provide a guiding hand as we begin to deploy our groundbreaking direct lithium extraction units."

Ms. Adiani has also served as executive vice-president at Xiana Mining; and as managing director, head of metals and mining, at NRG Capital Partners in London. She is admitted to practise as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales (currently non-practising). She has also served as senior corporate finance manager for La Mancha Resources (an energy transition fund today). She practised corporate law at Linklaters LLP in London and Dubai from 2002 to 2006 and is a law graduate from the University of Oxford and the University of Sheffield. Ms. Adiani also has a certificate in mining studies -- mining engineering from the University of British Columbia and a CFA in ESG (environmental, social and governance) investing from the CFA Institute UK.

Ms. Adiani's appointment comes as International Battery Metals prepares to roll out its direct lithium extraction (DLE) modular technology to the field. With the efficiencies needed to keep up with global lithium demand for use in batteries in products such as EVs (electric vehicles), the company's technology greatly reduces environmental impact from lithium extraction compared with other extraction methods.
