2. Investor Presentation – Q3 2023 / 2
This presentation contains “forward-looking information,” which may include but is not
limited to statements concerning the future financial or operating performance of Plymouth
Realty Capital Corp. and, upon completion of its transaction to acquire Penasco Quemado,
La Frazada and Pluton properties, located in Mexico, (the “Mexican Silver Properties”) from
Silver One Resources Inc., Lodestar Battery Metals Metals Corp. (collectively, the “Company”)
and its projects, the future price of gold, silver or other metal prices, exploration expenditures,
costs and timing of future exploration, requirements for additional capital, government
regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, reclamation expenses, title disputes or
claims, limitations of insurance coverage and regulatory matters. Often, but not always,
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans,” “expects,”
“is expected”, “budget,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “forecasts”, “intends,” “anticipates,” or
“believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or
statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could,” “would”, “might” or “will” be
taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results
to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, ability to
complete its transaction with Silver One Resources Inc. to acquire the Mexican Silver
Properties, completion of the private placement financing, general business, economic, and
competitive uncertainties; lack of production; limited operating history of the Company; the
actual results of current exploration activities; ability to obtain prospecting licenses or
permits; the legal obligations to consult and accommodate aboriginal land claims; proper
title to the claim that comprises the Mexican Silver Properties; the Company may lose or
abandon its interest in the Mexican Silver Properties; ability to retain qualified personnel; the
ability to obtain adequate financing for exploration and development; volatility of
commodity prices; environmental risks of mining operations; accidents, labour disputes and
other risks of the mining industry, including but not limited to environmental hazards, cave-
ins, pit-wall failures, flooding, rock bursts and other acts of God or unfavourable operating
conditions and losses. Forward-looking statements are based on several material factors
and assumptions, including results, performance or achievements ng the determination of
mineral reserves or resources, if any, the results of exploration and drilling activities, the
availability and final receipt of required approvals, licenses and permits that sufficient
working capital is available to complete proposed exploration and drilling activities, that
contracted parties provide goods and services on the agreed time frames, the equipment
necessary for exploration is available as scheduled and does not incur unforeseen break
downs, that no labour shortages or delays are incurred and that no unusual geological or
technical problems occur. While the Company considers these assumptions reasonable
based on information currently available to it, they may prove incorrect. Actual results may
vary from such forward-looking information for a variety of reasons. These forward-looking
statements are made as of the date of this presentation and are based upon
management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions. Following listing on the TSX Venture
Exchange, the Company intends to discuss in its quarterly and annual reports referred to as
the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis documents any events and
circumstances that occurred during the period to which such document relates that are
reasonably likely to cause actual events or circumstances to differ materially from those
disclosed in this presentation. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible
for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each
such factor on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-
looking statement. Other than as required by law and as otherwise stated in this
presentation, the Company does not intend. It undertakes no obligation to update any
forward-looking information to reflect, among other things, new information or future events.
Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Peter Born, P. Geo, an independent Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, has
reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this presentation. Investors are
cautioned that mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties does not necessarily
indicate mineralization on the Mexican Silver Properties.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred
Resources
This presentation uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated,” and “Inferred” Resources as
defined in accordance with NI 43-101. United States readers are advised that while Canadian
securities laws recognize the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not
recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a
“reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be
economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve calculation is made.
and require such terms United States readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any
part of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. In
addition, “Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty regarding their existence
and economic and legal feasibility. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of
an Inferred Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. United States readers are
also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Resource exists or is
economically or legally mineable.

Snow Lake district in Manitoba, Canada.
• The Peny property encompasses rock belonging to the Paleoproterozoic Snow
Lake subdomain of the Flin Flon – Glennie Complex (FFGC) in the Trans-Hudson
Orogen and occurs along the folded southern margin of the Kisseynew domain.
The property comprises sedimentary, volcanic and hypabyssal rocks of the
Burtwood and Missi Groups, which occur adjacent to the Crowduck Bay Pluton
and associated felsic tonalites and mapped pegmatites.
• The Property is in close proximity to the recognized Crowduck Bay Fault and
Berry Creek Fault, which is spatially associated with pegmatite emplacement at
the Wekusko Lake pegmatite field where Snow Lake Lithium (NASDAQ: LITM) has a
defined indicated resources of 9.08 Mt@ 1.00% Li2O, further exploration work is
assessing the production of 160k tonnes per annum of 6% lithium ore
concentrate for 8-10 years.
SNOW LAKE
PENY PROPERTY
7. Investor Presentation – Q3 2023 / 7
Peny Property offers high-potential growth-
based market conditions and opportunities:
• Exploration demand and investment interest
in new Tier-1 jurisdictions such as Manitoba
since 90 percent of lithium mining occurs in
just three countries (Australia, Chile, China).
• Spodumene (a lithium-rich mineral)
represents the most abundant lithium ore
and has been identified in abundance
adjacent to the property.
• Spodumene lithium deposits advantage: The
speed at which lithium carbonate can be
produced (Scales, 2011). Only five days are
needed between the time the ore is mined
and the final product is ready for shipment.
Conversely, brine evaporation processing
can take between 18 and 24 months.

• 19 primary targets were identified; a total of 33 target areas are identified
across the property, with a total of 286 individual spectral target picks
defined from the preliminary data. Several Base metals/Iron Oxide targets
have also been identified.
• Additional follow-up targeting ahead of fieldwork to include a qualitative
assessment of individual identified spectral picks further to refine individual
targets and focus field exploration activities.
• 6 of the targets have been preliminarily identified to have discrete high
spectral response attributes and can be evaluated in priority to determine
the nature of the anomalism and confirm potential pegmatite
emplacement.
• Based on the respective target sizes and estimates of field prospecting
effectiveness, we estimate an initial 19 days of boots-on-the-ground target
evaluation are estimated to review all the defined targets adequately.

Lithium & Silver Overview
Lodestar Battery Metals offers exposure to both of these core
EV Metals.
Lithium
Lithium Ion batteries have ‘won the war’ for
EV use; these high-capacity, fast-to-charge
batteries are found in every EV in production
today and are at the heart of the EV
roadmap for the future.
Peny Property has the potential of
lithium hosted by Spodumene.
Silver
Silver will continue to play an increasing
role in the construction of electrical EV
components and their electrical
conductive properties.
Lithium, nickel and cobalt are all
expected to have the highest multiples
of demand growth, with the need for
silver remaining high for its conductive
and corrosion-resistant properties.
22. Investor Presentation – Q3 2023 / 22
Lithium Market Statistics
Amid a landscape of high prices
and an undersupplied market
environment, Chinese refineries
imported spodumene concentrates
below 1.5 percent lithium oxide (0.7
percent lithium) in order to supply
market needs.
Surging EV demand has seen
lithium prices skyrocket by around
550 percent in a year: by the
beginning of March 2022, the lithium
carbonate price had passed
$75,000 per metric ton.

Lodestar Engages Red Cloud Securities to Evaluate Options Maximizing the Value of the Mexican
Assets
• Lodestar entered into a best-efforts agreement with Red Cloud Securities to facilitate the sale of our two silver assets
in Mexico to streamline the sales process and attract potential buyers.
• Red Cloud is known for its extensive experience and connections in the mining and resource industry.
• Lodestar has diligently completed all necessary filings for the Peñasco Property, ensuring compliance with regulatory
obligations. We have successfully submitted all required documentation and tax payments to the Mexican

New Exploration Laws in Mexico Impacting Canadian Juniors; Lodestar to Exit the Market
• Mexico enacted comprehensive changes to its mining and water laws on May 8, 2023, reserving most new mineral
exploration activities to the Mexican state and imposing stricter regulations.
• Canadian miners with investments in Mexico are considering legal remedies, including constitutional challenges and
seeking recourse under the Comprehensive & Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP)1.
• The CPTPP provides a mechanism for investor-state arbitrations and covers a broad range of sectors, offering
protection against unfair treatment, discrimination, and expropriation.

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
27. Investor Presentation – Q3 2023 / 27
The Peñasco Quemado Project 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate (“2023 MRE”) has been prepared by W.J. Lewis, P.Geo., of Micon International (“Micon”), in co-operation with;
C., Sarkar, M.Sc, P.Geo (also of Micon), and R., Calles-Montijo, CPG (of Servicios Geológicos IMEx, S.C.); all of whom are Qualified Persons Independent of the company. The
report entitled: NI 43-101 Technical Report for the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate on the Peñasco Quemado Project, Sonora, Mexico, dated April 17, 2023, with an effective
date of March 21, 2023. was prepared in conformance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Mettalurgy, and Petroleum (“CIM”) “Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral
Reserves Best Practice” guidelines and are reported in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101. Refer to the news release
dated May 8th, 2023, for more information on the 2023 MRE.
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The QP believes that, at this time, the mineral resource estimate is not
materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. However, as the Peñasco Quemado Project advances,
further required studies in these areas or other socio-political factors may affect the resource estimate.
As it relates to the 2023 MRE, the following should be noted:
• The mineral resources are reported based on open pit mining method scenarios.
• The pit was constrained based on bench slope of 30° for the overlying alluvium and 45° for the
remaining lithologies.
• The mineralized wireframes (PQ zone) within which the resources are contained were
modelled on a cut-off silver grade of 25 g/t.
• Grade capping was applied to reduce the influence of outlier samples, a cap of 460 g/t silver
was applied for PQ zone.
• The economic parameters used to define mineral resources are a metal price of USD25 per
troy ounce silver, a mining cost USD2/t, a processing cost of USD40/t and a G&A cost of USD5/t,
for a total of USD47/t mined and processed. The silver recovery was estimated at 69%.
• The resource is estimated for silver only, as manganese is not recoverable into a salable
product for Peñasco Quemado Project.
• The entire mineral resource has been categorized in the Inferred category.
• The mineral resource estimate has been prepared without reference to surface rights or the
potential presence of overlying infrastructure.
• Figures may not total due to rounding.
• The technical information contained in this presentation was been reviewed and approved by
Luke van der Meer, P. Geo., an independent consultant for the Company and an independent
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure of Mineral
Projects. Mr. van der Meer is a registered Professional Geoscientist in British Columbia, Quebec,

• Lodestar Battery Metals states with equal prominence that it is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or reserves. At this time, a qualified
person has not done sufficient work on behalf of Lodestar to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or reserves. Investors should not rely on the
historical estimate as a current mineral resource estimate until it has been verified and supported in a technical report in accordance with NI 43-101.
• The disclosure of this historical estimate has been reviewed by Luke van der Meer, a “Qualified Person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Source and date of the historical estimate, including any
existing technical report
Information relating to these historical estimates is summarized from the following technical reports:
Lewis, William, J., (2008, Amended 2009), Technical Report and Preliminary Mineral Resource Estimate for the La Frazada Silver property, El Zopilote Mining
District, Nayarit, Mexico, 99 p. completed for Silvermex Resources Limited.
Relevance and reliability of the historical estimate
The Report was compiled in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining (2005) standards and best practices for Mineral Resources, adhering to NI 43-
101. Silvermex established QAQC programs that were reviewed by the independent QP who accepted the data as suitable for mineral resource estimation
at that time.
Key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to
prepare the historical estimate
The La Frazada capped silver grade was interpolated using section-polygonal method into a block model constrained by mineralized domains.
Parameters used include a cut-off grade of 60 grams per tonne (g/t) silver.
Resource categories used
In accordance with NI 43-101 as defined in 2011, the La Frazada historical estimate used the terms inferred, indicated and measured mineral resource
having the same meanings ascribed to those terms by the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.
More recent estimates or data available to the issuer There are no more recent estimates available to the company on the La Frazada project.
Work needed to be done to upgrade or verify the historical
estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves
An independent Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to review the historical data and historical estimate to determine what further work would
be required to write an updated current Technical Report in accordance with NI 43-101. It is envisaged that this will involve an update/refinement to the
geologic model and grade interpolation methods.
• In accordance with Section 2.4 of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and despite section 2.2 an issuer may disclose
an historical estimate, using the original terminology, if the disclosure identifies the following:
