NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 6, 2023 / Victory Battery Metals (CSE:VR)(FWB:VR6)(OTC PINK:VRCFF) ("Victory" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a private placement financing of up to 12,500,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.08 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering"), and a concurrent placement of flow through units for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000.

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.12 per Common Share for a period of two years following the closing date of the Offering, subject to accelerated expiry as described herein. If, at any time, the closing price of the Company's Common Shares is greater than $0.17 per Common Share for 10 consecutive days, including days where there is no trading, the Company may provide written notice (a "Warrant Acceleration Notice") to the holders that the expiry of the Warrants shall be accelerated to a date that is not less than 30 days from the date of the Warrant Acceleration Notice.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), the Units (other than the Placement Units (as defined below)) will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in Canada, except Quebec, and/or other qualifying jurisdictions pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). Because the Offering is being completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the securities issued in the Offering will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.victorybatterymetals.com. Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision.

In addition to the Offering, the Company intends to complete a concurrent private placement of up to 6,666,667 Units (the "Flow Through Units") to certain insiders and other purchasers pursuant to applicable exemptions under NI 45-106 for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Flow Through Placement"). The Flow Through Units will be subject to a four month and one day hold period following the Closing Date.

Each Flow Through Unit consists of one Common Share and one FT warrant exercisable for 2 years at $0.15.

If, at any time, the closing price of the Corporation's Common Shares is greater than $0.20 per Common Share for 10 consecutive days, including days where there is no trading, the Corporation may provide written notice (a "Warrant Acceleration Notice") to the holders that the expiry of the FT warrants shall be accelerated to a date that is not less than 30 days from the date of the Warrant Acceleration Notice.

The Company intends to use net proceeds of the Offering for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the Flow Through Units will be used for exploration expenses on the Company's mining projects as permitted under the Income Tax Act (Canada) to qualify as Canadian Exploration Expenses.

The closing dates of the Offering and the Flow Through Placement are expected to occur on or about February 20, 2023, or such later date or dates as the Company may determine, and are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange. Completion of the Offering is not conditional upon the completion of the Flow Thorough Placement or vice versa.

The securities of the Company have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there by any sale of the securities referenced in this press release, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
