(TSXV: MT) (FSE: XOV) ("M3 Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company and Surge Battery Metals Inc. ("Surge") have entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") of their option and joint venture agreement (the "Option Agreement") which was disclosed in the Company's news release dated July 26, 2023 and whereby the Company optioned certain claims (the "M3M Property") to Surge. Material terms and conditions of the Option Agreement are disclosed in the July 26, 2023, news release.

The Amendment concerns a number of claims (the "Disputed Claims") totaling approximately 800 acres in the northeastern part of the M3M Property. The Company has become aware of a dispute regarding ownership of the Disputed Claims.

The Amendment provides that the Option Agreement continues to be of full force and effect with the Company being obligated to defend title to the Disputed Claims and pay costs associated with the defense.
