STRIA LITHIUM INC. ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NEW DIRECTOR

Stria Lithium Inc. has appointed Donald J. Birak as a new director of the company. Mr. Birak is a senior geologist with over 45 years of experience in the minerals industry. Mr. Birak currently consults on mineral property evaluation, regulatory compliance and greenfield/brownfield exploration programs. Mr. Birak has and continues to serve on numerous boards of publicly traded mining companies .

In his past management positions, Mr. Birak was senior vice-president of exploration for Coeur Mining Inc., with responsibility for the design and guidance of all aspects of the company's global exploration activities, and served as vice-president of exploration for AngloGold Ashanti North America (formerly Independence Mining Co. Inc.) as well as Hudbay Minerals Inc. (formerly Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd.). In 2000, he received the Bill Dennis Prospector of the Year award presented by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, along with his key exploration team members, in recognition of discovery of the 777 copper and zinc deposits and several others in the Flin Flon/Snow Lake greenstone belt of Manitoba, Canada.

Mr. Birak earned a master of science in geology from Bowling Green State University, Ohio, with a thesis on the geology of the Groveland iron mine in northern Michigan, United States. He has written and co-written several professional publications on the geology and metallurgy of sediment-hosted and epithermal precious metal deposits and on the use of geostatistics in resource modelling and grade control. He is a senior fellow of the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) and is currently a member of the budget and investment committees of SEG. He is a registered member of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME) and a fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM).

Mr. Birak stated: "Dean Hanisch, CEO [chief executive officer], and I met when we had mutual connections in Sierra Nevada in Mexico. I look forward to working with Dean and the board of Stria Lithium to help bring value to the shareholders and stakeholders via exploration and development of their properties in the emerging lithium district of Western Quebec. Most of the global reserves of lithium in 2022 were in just three countries -- Chile, Australia and Argentina -- followed by China, USA and Canada. Stria's foray into lithium in the lithium pegmatites of Quebec is timely as both Canada and the U.S. seek to expand internal sources of this critical commodity."

Jeff York, chairman of Stria Lithium, said: "Mr. Birak brings a strong depth of geological and operations governance required for Stria establishing itself as a key exploration player in the critical minerals space within Canada."
