American Battery Metals Corp. Announces Non-Binding LOI to Acquire Climb Credit Inc.

Vancouver, Oct. 1, 2019 - American Battery Metals Corp. (the "Company" or "American Battery Metals") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated September 29, 2019 (the "LOI") with Climb Credit Inc. ("Climb"), a private British Columbia company, to acquire all of its issued and outstanding shares (the "Proposed Transaction").

Climb Credit Inc. is a fin-tech company that has developed proprietary products and services aimed at helping hundreds of thousands of Canadians regain control of their credit score. For over 7 years its flagship product, the Climb Savings Loan, has provided over 5,000 Canadians with poor credit a way to rebuild their financial lives. Climb's recently developed fin-tech engine provides customers with the most efficient path to rebuilding credit in order to return to mainstream lending/banking products. Additional information about Climb is available at www.climb.ca.

Under the terms of the LOI, the Proposed Acquisition would be carried out through a business combination by way of an amalgamation, arrangement or other similar form of transaction pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Climb would be exchanged for common shares of the Company on the basis of a share exchange ratio that would result in the former shareholders of Climb and the Company's shareholders holding, respectively, 60% and 40% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares on a partially diluted basis after accounting for "in-the-money" outstanding convertible securities based on a market price for the Company's shares of $0.19. Key conditions of the Proposed Transaction would include completion by Climb of a $3,000,000 financing, the Company having cash of a minimum of $2,000,000 and no liabilities or encumbrances as well as stock exchange and regulatory approvals, as applicable.

At this time, the Company and Climb are proceeding with their respective due diligence reviews with a view towards negotiation and execution of a definitive transaction agreement. Further details will be provided upon successful completion of the due diligence period and the signing of a definitive agreement.
