Vital Battery Metals Inc. announced that the Company has entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire 100% interest in the Sting Copper Project (the "Project") located 14 km south of the town of Trout River in the province of Newfoundland. The Project consists of five mineral licences and cumulatively encompasses a land area of approximately 30.6 km². Historic chip and channel sampling over a mineralized area of approximately 30.5m by 12.1m reported the following copper values at the Jumbo mineral occurrence.

The Project hosts over 40 base and precious metal occurrences that have undergone limited exploration work along a 50 km corridor known for hosting significant Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (`VMS'), copper quartz vein lode and low sulphation epithermal gold showings, mines and projects. Vital believes that the Greggory River Fault area has lacked detailed exploration work in the past and plans to execute an extensive exploration program.
