Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on July 15, 2022, American Battery Technology Company (the “Company”) and 1317038 Nevada Ltd.,
(the “Seller”) entered into the Exploration License with Option to Purchase (the “Agreement”) on September 1,
2021. Pursuant to the Agreement, in exchange for consideration consisting of a $50,000 payment and a subsequent $100,000 payment by the
Company to the Seller, the Seller granted the Company an exploration license providing the Company with the exclusive right to enter upon
and conduct mineral exploration activities on the Seller’s unpatented 305 lode mining claims in the Tonopah Mining District in Nye
and Esmeralda Counties in Nevada (the “Claims”). The Agreement also granted the Seller an option to purchase the Claims from
the Seller for additional consideration of $8,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”).
After exercising its option to purchase the Claims from the Seller, on July 10, 2022, the Company and the Seller entered into the Escrow
Services Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to effectuate the purchase of the Claims for the Purchase Price. Pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement, the Company deposited the initial $4,000,000 of the Purchase Price into an escrow account, payable to the Seller on
or before July 21, 2022 (the “Initial Payment”), with an additional $4,000,000 payment, payable either in cash or an equivalent
amount of the Company’s common stock at the Company’s sole option, to be deposited by the Seller into escrow within 90 days
of the release of the Initial Payment from escrow (the “Subsequent Payment”).
The Subsequent Payment into escrow was completed,
and the notarized executed mining claim deeds representing the Seller’s ownership interest were recorded and the purchase completed,
with notice of the transfer sent to the Bureau of Land Management on October 13, 2022.
The foregoing description of the Agreement and Escrow Agreement, are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents, which
are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
