American Marconi Wireless News - Battery X Metals Announces Strategic Sale of Gold & Copper Project Consistent with Its 360° Battery Metals Value Chain Strategy Encompassing Exploration, Rebalancing and Recycling in Support of the Energy Transition

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Battery X Metals Inc. (CSE:BATX)(OTCQB:BATXF)(FSE:5YW0, WKN:A41RJF)("Battery X Metals" or the "Company") an energy transition resource exploration and technology company, announces that it has entered into a definitive mineral property purchase agreement dated February 5, 2026 (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell a 100% interest in its Belanger Project, a gold and copper exploration project located in Ontario (the "Project"), to an arm's-length third party (the "Purchaser").

The strategic sale is consistent with the Company's strategy to optimize its asset base and prioritize capital and management attention toward its integrated battery-metals value chain strategy, encompassing battery-focused exploration, lithium-ion battery rebalancing technologies, and battery materials recycling in support of the global energy transition.

Strategic Rationale

Management believes the strategic sale represents a disciplined portfolio-management decision that monetizes a non-core exploration asset while retaining potential upside exposure through equity ownership in the Purchaser. The transaction further aligns Battery X Metals with its long-term objective of building a vertically integrated platform focused on battery metals, advanced battery diagnostics and rebalancing technologies, and sustainable battery-materials recovery.

The Company continues to advance its core initiatives across battery-focused exploration, proprietary lithium-ion battery rebalancing systems, and battery recycling technologies, which management believes position Battery X Metals to play a meaningful role in the global energy transition.

Transaction Terms

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell its 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Project to the Purchaser free and clear of all encumbrances. Consideration payable to the Company consists of:

• Common shares of the Purchaser having an aggregate deemed value of C$5,000 (the "Consideration Shares"), calculated by dividing C$5,000 by the closing price of the Purchaser's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV) on the date of execution of the Agreement, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required approval from the TSXV. Closing is expected to occur within three (3) business days following receipt of such approval(s), and no later than March 31, 2026.

Upon closing, the Purchaser will acquire all exploration data, technical information, and related property rights associated with the Project. The Consideration Shares to be issued to the Company will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

Amendment to Corporate Awareness Agreement

The Company also announces that, further to its news releases dated November 21, 2025 and January 6, 2026, it has increased the budget of its previously announced corporate awareness engagement with bullVestor Medien GmbH ("bullVestor") to provide marketing services for a period of three (3) months, commencing on November 21, 2025.

bullVestor is arm's length to the Company. Under the terms of the engagement, bullVestor is responsible for strategic planning, procurement and implementation of native advertising campaigns across premium financial advertising networks, as well as overseeing progress and reporting on results throughout the campaign. The objective of the engagement is to increase awareness of the Company and its business among the German investment community.

Pursuant to the second budget increase, the Company has agreed to further increase the budget of the engagement by an additional €80,000 (approximately CAD $129,000), payable upon receipt. As previously disclosed, the original fee paid by the Company was €150,000 (approximately CAD $245,000), and the first budget increase fee paid by the Company was €80,000 (approximately CAD $129,000).
