Corporate Presentation April 2018
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.

Exploration at the Canegrass Project was limited from 2010
through 2015. Historical exploration work completed during
this period included:
 Surface mapping and geochemical rock sampling;
 Airborne VTEM survey (2013);
 Ground EM and Magnetic surveys over select airborne
targets;
 Two (2) diamond drill holes testing an EM target (2014)
 Six (6) RC and one diamond drill hole at a second EM
target (2014).
