Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - February 25, 2025 – Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS) (“Coniagas” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it will participate and present at the PDAC 2025 Conference in Toronto from March 2 to March 5, 2025 and welcomes the opportunity to meet with investors to discuss recent developments and plans for the Company.
CEO Frank Basa, P.Eng. Ontario, is scheduled to give a presentation as part of the Nickel/PGM session of the Corporate Presentation Forum for Investors on Wednesday March 5 at 11:08 am in the Investment Hub Theatre and will be available during and afterwards to answer questions on Coniagas. Mr. Basa will also be available at other times during PDAC; if you wish a meeting, please contact us.
The presentation will focus on the Graal Project’s near-term plans including areas to be drilled and its longer-term potential as a possible nickel-copper mine with cobalt, platinum, and palladium byproducts. The Company has engaged the services of Laurentia Exploration to design and manage ongoing exploration activities at the Graal property, strategically located near an ocean port at Saguenay-Lac St. Jean, Quebec. (See Feb. 3, 2025 news release.)
Mr. Basa stated, "The prospect of expanding upon known zones and finding new zones containing nickel, copper, cobalt and PGM at Graal is encouraging from the results of the completed drill programs. Numerous drill hole intercepts confirm the potential of Graal property for hosting significant and thick massive sulfides mineralization. We will continue to add to these results within known mineralized zones to increase our understanding while stepping out to expand those zones along the defined trends while exploring for new zones.” (See maps below for NiEq and CuEq calculations and planned areas for drilling, and the Feb. 3, 2025 news release for details and supporting data.)
Currently, the interpreted geological models indicate a potential for a low-grade, large-volume orebody with local and smaller but richer and thicker lenses along a lengthy mineralized trend. This scenario suggests the possibility of having a large, low-grade starter pit that can evolve to underground mining of the rich higher-grade pockets.

At its 100% owned Graal project near Saguenay, Quebec, Coniagas has conducted successful exploration involving geophysics as well as shallow drilling that hit mineralization in almost every hole. It has confirmed an open-pit deposit model at Graal along a 6 km strike length of high-grade nickel and copper with cobalt, platinum and palladium byproducts. The Company plans in the near-term to conduct additional drilling leading to the production of a Ni 43-101 resource report, metallurgical testing and consultations with First Nations. The Graal project and immediate work plan are outlined in detail in the “NI 43-101 Technical Report Graal Nickel & Copper Project, Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec, Canada” dated January 17, 2024.
