Battery X Metals Provides Update on Critical Battery Metals Exploration Initiatives and Portfolio Optimization Strategy
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 20, 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 elected not to renew the mineral claims comprising the Reservoir-Dozois Project, located in Abitibi, Quebec, upon their respective expiries on March 31, 2026 and April 9, 2026, and the mineral claims comprising the Leaf River Project, located in Nunavik, Quebec, upon their expiry on April 13, 2026.
This strategic decision reflects the Company's disciplined approach to capital allocation and its continued focus on advancing high-priority exploration assets, including its NI 43-101 compliant Y Lithium Project near Bailey Lake, Saskatchewan. The Y Lithium Project is a district-scale lithium exploration asset situated within the prospective Ennadai Greenstone Belt and located approximately 5 km west of a reported lithium- and tantalum-bearing pegmatite discovery, underscoring the broader geological potential of the region, as disclosed in the Company's October 16, 2025 news release. The Company is actively progressing exploration planning for the 2026 field season, including the design of a Phase I mapping and sampling program targeting priority zones identified through prior work.
In parallel, as disclosed in the Company's August 1, 2025 news release, the Company, in partnership with TerraDX Discoveries Inc. ("TerraDX"), continues to advance its AI-powered critical battery metals exploration initiatives in Nevada, USA. The initiative has progressed from foundational data preparation into the data processing phase, with approximately 60 curated geological datasets being analyzed using proprietary machine learning models developed by TerraDX. Advanced feature engineering techniques are being applied to enhance target identification, with the objective of generating high-probability, AI-derived exploration targets for subsequent field validation.
These initiatives are integral to the Company's broader 360° strategy across the battery metals value chain, which combines strategic critical battery mineral exploration with the development of proprietary battery-grade material recovery technologies, in collaboration with a globally ranked top 20 university, and patent-pending battery lifespan extension solutions. Collectively, these strategic initiatives position the Company to participate across the full lifecycle of battery metals.
