(TSXV: BMR) (\"Battery\" or \"BMR\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on encouraging reconnaissance rock sampling results from the Gowganda East Block, that is located about 35 kilometers (\"km\") west of the town of Elk Lake and 125km northeast of Sudbury (Figure 1).HighlightsOne hundred and seventy-two rock grab samples were collected and submitted for assay during the Gowganda East reconnaissance prospecting and rock grab sampling program. Forty-four historic workings, mineral occurrences and LIDAR features were field checked as part of 80 person-days of field work program.Thirteen samples from 7 prospects targets yielded cobalt values greater than 1.0 percent (\"%\") cobalt (\"Co\") including a peak cobalt value of 6.6% Co;Twelve samples from 9 prospects yielded anomalous silver (\"Ag\") values ranging from 39 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") to 1,675g/t Ag;Four samples from 2 prospects yielded nickel values greater than 1.0% nickel (\"Ni\") ranging from 1.12% to 2.9% Ni;Seven samples from 5 prospects returned high grade copper (\"Cu\") assays ranging from 1.5% to 7.7% Cu;Samples from the Chapelle and Ottawa workings also yielded elevated gold (\"Au\") ranging from 0.10g/t to 1.15g/t Au and 1.29 g/t Au respectively.The program has identified 5 sites that warrant follow-up field work including; Bald Rock, Babs Lake, Chapelle, East Martin Lake and Powerful Silver. The Bald Rock target will be drill tested in June. About the Gowganda East Reconnaissance ProgramBMR has conducted several focussed reconnaissance prospecting, rock sampling and geological mapping programs at the Gowganda East Block in Chown, Haultain, Lawson and Nicol townships. These programs were designed to investigate known historic workings, mineral occurrences and LIDAR features to assess each site visited potential to host significant cobalt-silver mineralization. The most recent program concentrated on field checking 40 prospects that included Bald Rock, Chapelle and Babs Lake. This program comprised 47 person-days of field work.Rock grab sampling was focused on vein material taken from both historic \"muck\" piles and...
