**ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.**

Not applicable.

**ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.**

***Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia)**

*Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)*

 

The Company is subject to the provisions of Part 5, Division 5 of the BCBCA.

Under Section 160 of the BCBCA, the Company may, subject to Section 163 of the BCBCA:

(a) Indemnify
 an individual who:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) is
 or was a director or officer of the Company;

(ii) is
 or was a director or officer of another corporation at a time when such corporation is or was an affiliate of the Company; or

(iii) at
 the Company's request, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership,
 trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity, including, subject to certain limited exceptions, the heirs and personal or
 other legal representatives of that individual (collectively, an "eligible party"), against all eligible penalties, defined
 below, to which the eligible party is or may be liable; and

(b) after
 final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of
 that proceeding, where:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "eligible
 penalty" means a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding,

(ii) "eligible
 proceeding" means a proceeding in which an eligible party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of
 the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position
 equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the Company or an associated corporation (A) is or may be joined as a party, or (B)
 is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding,

(iii) "expenses"
 includes costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, but does not include judgments, penalties, fines or amounts
 paid in settlement of a proceeding, and

(iv) "proceeding"
 includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed.

Under Section 161 of the BCBCA, and subject to Section 163 of the BCBCA, the Company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party (a) has not been reimbursed for those expenses and (b) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of the proceeding or is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding.

Under Section 162 of the BCBCA, and subject to Section 163 of the BCBCA, the Company may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of the proceeding, provided that the Company must not make such payments unless it first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited under Section 163 of the BCBCA, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.

Under Section 163 of the BCBCA, the Company must not indemnify an eligible party against eligible penalties to which the eligible party is or may be liable or pay the expenses of an eligible party in respect of that proceeding under Sections 160(b), 161 or 162 of the BCBCA, as the case may be, if any of the following circumstances apply:

(a) if
 the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the agreement to indemnify
 or pay expenses was made, the Company were prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by the Company's memorandum
 or Articles;

(b) if
 the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the
 indemnity or payment is made, the Company are prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by the Company's
 memorandum or Articles;

(c) if,
 in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view
 to the best interests or the associated corporation, as the case may be; or

(d) in
 the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing
 that the eligible party's conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.

If an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf or by or on behalf of an associated corporation, the Company must not either indemnify the eligible party under Section 160(a) of the BCBCA against eligible penalties to which the eligible party is or may be liable, or pay the expenses of the eligible party under Sections 160(b), 161 or 162 of the BCBCA, as the case may be, in respect of the proceeding.

Under Section 164 of the BCBCA, and despite any other provision of Part 5, Division 5 of the BCBCA and whether or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under Part 5, Division 5 of the BCBCA, on application or an eligible party, the court may do one or more of the following:

(a) order
 us to indemnify an eligible party against any liability incurred by the eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

(b) order
 us to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;

(c) order
 the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by us;

(d) order
 us to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any person in obtaining an order under Section 164 of the
 BCBCA; or

(e) make
 any other order the court considers appropriate.

Section 165 of the BCBCA provides that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an eligible party or the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the Company or an associated corporation.

Under Article 20.2 of the Company's Articles, and subject to the BCBCA, the Company must indemnify an eligible party and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and it must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each eligible party is deemed to have contracted with the Company on the terms of the indemnity contained in the Company's Articles.

Under Article 20.3 of the Company's Articles, and subject to any restrictions in the BCBCA, the Company may indemnify any person. The Company has entered into indemnity agreements or employment agreements containing indemnification provisions with certain of the Company's directors and officers. Under these indemnification provisions, an executive officer is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to the right of indemnification by the Company for certain expenses to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Company believes that these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers.

Pursuant to Article 20.4 of the Company's Articles, the failure of an eligible party to comply with the BCBCA or the Company's Articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under the Company's Articles.

Under Article 20.5 of the Company's Articles, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who: (1) is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company; (2) at the request of the Company, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Company; (3) at the request of the Company, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; (4) at the request of the Company, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; (5) against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.

The Company has an insurance policy covering our directors and officers, with respect to certain liabilities arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers, pursuant to which the Company have agreed, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law and promptly upon demand, to indemnify and hold harmless such director or officer, their heirs and legal representatives from and against (i) all costs, charges and expenses incurred by such director or officer in respect of any claim, demand, suit, action, proceeding or investigation in which such director or officer is involved or is subject by reason of being or having been a director or officer (ii) all liabilities, damages, costs, charges and expenses whatsoever that the director or officer may sustain or incur as a result of serving as a director or officer in respect of any act, matter, deed or thing whatsoever made, done, committed, permitted or acquiesced in by such director or officer in his capacity as a director or officer, whether before or after the effective date of such indemnification agreement.

***Company's Articles***

Under Part 21.2 of the Company's Articles, and subject to the BCBCA, the Company must indemnify a director, former director or alternative director of the Company and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each director and alternate director is deemed to have contracted with the Company on the terms of the indemnity contained in the Company's Articles.

Under Part 21.3 of the Company's Articles, and subject to any restrictions in the BCBCA, the Company may agree to indemnify and may indemnify any person.

Under Part 21.4 of the Company's Articles, the failure of a director, alternate director or officer of the Company to comply with the BCBCA or the Company's Articles or, if applicable, any former Companies Act or former articles, does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under the Company's Articles.

Under Part 21.5 of the Company's Articles, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who:

● is
 or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of the Company;

● is
 or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate
 of the Company;

● at
 the request of the Company, is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership,
 trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;

● at
 the request of the Company, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director, alternate director or officer of a partnership,
 trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;

against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.

We carry directors and officers liability coverages designed to insure our officers and directors and those of our subsidiaries against certain liabilities incurred by them in the performance of their duties, and also providing for reimbursement in certain cases to our company and its subsidiaries for sums paid to directors and officers as indemnification for similar liability.

**ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED**.

Not applicable.

**ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.**

See the attached Exhibit Index on the page immediately following the signature pages hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

**ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The
 undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To
 file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
 to this Registration Statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To
 include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To
 reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration
 Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
 the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
 Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
 offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
 registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
 range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
 change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
 Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement.

(iii) To
 include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
 disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
 Registration Statement;

*Provided, however,* that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That,
 for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
 amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
 bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To
 remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
 registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The
 undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
 under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
 Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
 an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange
 Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
 a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering
 of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Insofar
 as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
 officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
 liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
 officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
 suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
 with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
 the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
 the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
 the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Plano, State of Texas, on February 2, 2026.

International Battery Metals Ltd.

6100 Tennyson Parkway, Suite 240

Plano, Texas 75024

Dear Sirs/Mesdames,

<u>Re:</u> <u>International Battery Metals Ltd. – Registration Statement on Form S-8</u>

We have acted as Canadian legal counsel to International Battery Metals Ltd. (the "**Company**"), a company incorporated under *Business Corporations Act* (British Columbia). We refer to Company's registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-[ ]) filed on February 2, 2026 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the "**Registration Statement**") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") under the *Securities Act of 1933*, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), covering the registration of up to an additional 62,394,561 common shares (the "**Common Shares**") of in the outstanding capital of the Company pursuant to the Company's 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "**Plan**"). In accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8, the Shares to be registered as set forth above represent the number of additional shares that are issuable pursuant to the Plan.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed and relied upon originals, photocopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company's notice of articles, the Company's articles, records of the Company's corporate proceedings in connection with the Registered Securities, the Plan and such other documents, records, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as we deem necessary as a basis for this opinion. With respect to the foregoing documents, we have assumed, without independent investigation: (i) the authenticity of all records, documents, and instruments submitted to us as originals; (ii) the genuineness of all signatures on all agreements, instruments and other documents submitted to us; (iii) the legal capacity and authority of all persons or entities (other than the Company) executing all agreements, instruments or other documents submitted to us; (iv) the authenticity and the conformity to the originals of all records, documents, and instruments submitted to us as copies; (v) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company and other persons on which we have relied for purposes of this opinion are true and correct; (vi) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all agreements, instruments and other documents by all parties thereto (other than the due authorization, execution and delivery of each such agreement, instrument and document by the Company); and (vii) that the Registration Statement will have become effective under the U.S Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**") and such effectiveness will not have been terminated or rescinded.

In giving this opinion we have assumed the following: (i) the Registration Statement, as finally amended, having become effective under the Securities Act; (ii) the board of directors of the Company (the "**Board**"), or a duly constituted committee of the Board to whom authority has been validly delegated (a "**Committee**"), having validly granted the awards in respect of the Common Shares under the Plan; (iii) the Board, or a Committee, having validly resolved to allot and issue the Common Shares, or grant rights to subscribe for the Common Shares, at duly convened and quorate meetings of the Board or such Committee as applicable, or by way of duly passed written resolutions of the Board or such Committee as applicable in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and with such resolutions being in full force and effect and not having been rescinded or amended; (iv) the receipt in full of payment for the Common Shares as required pursuant to the Plan equal to the exercise price for such Common Shares, assuming in each case that the individual grants or awards under the Plan are duly authorised by all necessary corporate action and duly granted or awarded and exercised in accordance with the requirements of applicable law, the constating documents of the Company and the Plan (and the agreements and awards duly adopted thereunder and in accordance therewith); and (v) valid entries having been made in relation to the allotment and issue of the Shares in the books and registers of the Company.,

We are qualified to practice law in the Province of Ontario and except as set out as follows, we express no opinion as to any laws or any matters governed by the laws other than the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada as applicable therein, in each, case, as in effect on the date hereof. With respect to the opinions herein related to the laws of British Columbia we are relying on Section 2.16 of the Law Society Rules of the Law Society of British Columbia dated July 1, 2025 as updated in April 2025 to opine upon the laws of Province of British Columbia and confirm that we meet the criteria set out therein for such reliance.

Whenever our opinion refers to the common shares of the Company, whether issued or to be issued, as being "fully paid and non-assessable", such opinion indicates that the holder of such shares cannot be required to contribute any further amounts to the Company by virtue of its status as holder of such shares, either in order to complete payment for the shares, to satisfy claims of creditors or otherwise. No opinion is expressed as to actual receipt by the Company of the consideration for the issuance of such shares or as to the adequacy of any consideration received.

We give no opinion as to, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements contained in the Registration Statement or in any documents filed in connection therewith or in any documents filed in connection therewith, or upon whether the Registration Statement or any other documents filed in connection therewith or in any documents filed in connection therewith comply as to form or content with the requirements of the applicable securities laws. We give no opinion as to the completeness or accuracy of information provided to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Registered Securities.

Based on and relying upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The
 Common Shares, will when awards are granted pursuant to the Plan, be duly authorized by all
 necessary corporate action and, when issued and delivered by the Company (subject to receipt
 of valid consideration by the Company in accordance with the Plan) and otherwise in accordance
 with the provisions of the Plan, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
 common shares in the capital of the Company

This opinion is furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose. This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

We disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.

Yours very truly,
