THUNDER BAY, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 11, 2023 / Clean Air Metals Inc. ("Clean Air Metals" or the "Company") (TSXV:AIR; FRA:CKU; OTCQB:CLRMF) is pleased to announce that we have published our 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report covering a two-year period from February 2021 to January 2023.

Clean Air Metals aims for transparency. As a publicly traded organization, it has become increasingly important for junior exploration companies to clearly document and report all critical activities to ensure that all rights-holders, stakeholders, and communities are informed on these key ESG metrics. Clean Air Metals strives to be a peer leader relative to ESG disclosure and again relied on the ONYEN platform to help us deliver this important report. The ESG report was prepared from data provided by Clean Air Metals to Onyen Corporation, using Onyen's innovative AI driven software solution and on-line ESG Platform. The report, titled "Clean Air Metals Inc. - 2022 ESG Report" has been filed on the Clean Air Metals' website at www.cleanairmetals.ca at https://www.onyen.com/published/CAM_2022_Annual_628.html.

Jim Gallagher, CEO of Clean Air Metals stated: "Despite being a relatively small junior exploration company, Clean Air Metals has dedicated the time, energy and resources to compile and publish this ESG report. Even though the Company's current impact is quite low this report gives us a framework, a scorecard on our performance and a clearer path forward as we continue to develop the Thunder Bay North project. As we become more aware of the impacts of climate change, it becomes increasingly critical to measure and document our strategies for reducing our environmental footprint. Similarly, showing our governance policies and structure should provide confidence to investors, community partners and government authorities that we can and will build this project with transparency and to the highest ESG standards."
