FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking

statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or

developments that BlueBird Battery Metals Inc. expects to occur, are forward-looking

statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are

generally, but not always identified by the words “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”,

“intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or

conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur. Although BlueBird Battery Metals

believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on

reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual

results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could

cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include

market prices, exploration and production successes or failures, continued availability of capital

and financing, inability to obtain required shareholder or regulatory approvals, and general

economic market or business conditions. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs,

estimates and opinions of BlueBird’s management on the date the statements are made.
