Company Overview

Grid Metals Corp. is a Canada-based mineral exploration and development company focused primarily on lithium and nickel resources used in electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems. The company operates within the critical minerals and battery metals sectors, with exploration-stage assets that are positioned to support North American supply chain security. Its core revenue drivers are not yet production-based; instead, value creation is driven by mineral discovery, resource definition, and advancement of projects toward potential development or partnership.

The company’s principal assets are the Manitoba Lithium Project and the Makwa Nickel Project, both located in southeastern Manitoba. Grid Metals is strategically positioned near existing infrastructure, including highways, rail, and hydroelectric power, which it identifies as a competitive advantage. The company was originally focused on base metals and later reoriented toward lithium and battery metals as market demand accelerated, particularly following increased electric vehicle adoption and government-backed critical minerals strategies in Canada and the United States.

Business Operations

Grid Metals Corp. operates as a single-segment exploration company with activities concentrated on mineral exploration, land acquisition, and technical evaluation. Its business operations center on advancing the Manitoba Lithium Project, which includes the Donner Lake and Falcon West lithium properties, and the Makwa Nickel Project, which contains nickel-copper-platinum group metal mineralization. The company generates no operating revenue and relies on equity financing to fund exploration and corporate activities.

Operations are conducted exclusively in Canada, with exploration programs managed internally and supported by third-party geological, drilling, and environmental consultants. Grid Metals controls mineral claims through wholly owned subsidiaries and has entered into option and joint venture agreements related to certain lithium properties, including arrangements with Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada Limited (Tanco) for lithium exploration rights. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding any current producing assets or near-term commercial operations.

Strategic Position & Investments

Grid Metals’ strategic direction emphasizes advancing lithium resources toward delineated mineral resources while maintaining exposure to nickel as a complementary battery metal. Growth initiatives focus on expanding known lithium-bearing pegmatites, conducting step-out drilling, and completing technical studies that could support future development or strategic partnerships. The company has highlighted lithium’s role in North American energy transition policies as central to its long-term strategy.

The company has made targeted investments in land consolidation and exploration rather than acquisitions of producing assets. Notable strategic relationships include agreements with Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada Limited (Tanco), which provide proximity to one of Canada’s only operating lithium-producing facilities. Grid Metals is not known to control a diversified portfolio of operating subsidiaries; its assets are held directly or through project-specific entities. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding material equity investments in external companies.

Geographic Footprint

Grid Metals Corp.’s operations are entirely concentrated in Canada, with all material assets located in Manitoba. The company’s headquarters and corporate administration are based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, providing proximity to its exploration properties and provincial regulators. Its project areas benefit from access to established mining jurisdictions, skilled labor, and low-cost renewable hydroelectric power.

While Grid Metals does not currently operate internationally, its projects are positioned to serve North American battery supply chains, including potential downstream customers in the United States. The company has no disclosed overseas subsidiaries, foreign exploration licenses, or international joint ventures based on publicly available information.

Leadership & Governance

Grid Metals Corp. is led by a management team with experience in mineral exploration, project finance, and public company governance. The leadership emphasizes disciplined capital allocation, technical validation of exploration results, and alignment with long-term battery metals demand rather than short-term production targets. The company operates under Canadian public company governance standards as outlined in SEDAR+ filings and continuous disclosure documents.

Key executives include:

• Robin Dunbar – Chief Executive Officer
• Jonathan Hamel – Chief Financial Officer
