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.

The Battery-Powered Industrial Revolution 70+ new battery megafactories in operation BY First government 2025 bans on gas/diesel vehicles Automakers to spend US$300B on EVs Tens of millions of EVs expected on the roads millions of charge stations installed 100,000+ GWh in new energy storage capacity expected online BLUEBIRDBATTERYMETALS.COM | BATT: TSX-V BBBMF: US 4 4

Nickel; Set to Become The Next Winner In The Battery Boom 1. Consumer driven changes in battery design are underway - Demand is for parity with gas driven vehicles in terms of cost and distance traveled on a single charge 2. Manufacturers are moving away from: - low or no-nickel batteries - LFP - Lithium ion phosphate that uses no nickel - NMC 111 that uses equal parts nickel, manganese and cobalt 3. Manufacturers are moving towards: - Higher nickel variety batteries NMC 523, 622 and NMC 811 which uses 8 parts nickel to 1 part cobalt and - manganese 4. Fitch Solutions forecast has NMC batteries nearly tripling from 28% of global EV sales to 63% by 2027. The Trans Australian Indian Pacific Ni Roughly 125,000 people are train linking Sydney with Perth employed in Mining in Western includes a 478 kilometer straight Australia, which generated over stretch – the worlds longest! $145 billion in sales in 2018/2019 BLUEBIRDBATTERYMETALS.COM | BATT: TSX-V BBBMF: US 5 BLUEBIRDBATTERYMETALS.COM | BATT: TSX-V BBBMF: US 5

Nickel; Set to Become The Next Winner In The Battery Boom According to the Roskill “Nickel Outlook to 2029” the b attery nickel demand forecast: - 258,000 tonnes by 2022 - Rising to 3.69 million tonnes by 2030 Source: Western Areas Ltd., Trafigura Research, SMM, CIAP – March 2020 BLUEBIRDBATTERYMETALS.COM | BATT: TSX-V BBBMF: US 6 BLUEBIRDBATTERYMETALS.COM | BATT: TSX-V BBBMF: US 6

Battery Growth Drivers EV adoption headed towards unstoppable upwards trend Government action is underway Auto industry is spending • 9 Countries and multiple states, provinces, • US$300B committed to EV dev and production cities planning bans on gas/diesel vehicles by 2025 (incl. $ 87B for battery procurement) 2 from 2025 • 39 automakers have EVs available or in • China and nine US states have introduced development, including sedans and pick-ups minimum EV sales mandates Charge station numbers growing Ev adoption is accelerating 630,000+ charge stations in place; commitments • 5.4M EVs in use by end of 2018 1 . Major sales growth • to roll out multi-million location networks by year-on-year. 2.1M EVs sold in 2018 2030 1 Analysts forecasting from 20M 3 (Morgan Stanley) to • Major oil companies are investing in and 120M 4 (IEA) EVs on the road by 2030 • acquiring EV charge station companies 1 Bloomberg NEF 3 Public announcements 2 Media 4 International Energy Association BLUEBIRDBATTERYMETALS.COM | BATT: TSX-V BBBMF: US 7
