CAT STRATEGIC METALS EXPLORATION UPDATE

RIMROCK AND GOLD JACKPOT PROPERTIES, NORTHEASTERN ELKO COUNTY,

NEVADA

Vancouver, B.C. August 11, 2021 - CAT Strategic Metals Corporation (CSE: CAT) (OTC:

CATTF) (FRA:8CH) (“CAT” or the "Company") announces the following work update on its

Rimrock and Gold Jackpot mineral properties in Elko County, Nevada.

RIMROCK Gold-Silver Property

The Rimrock Au-Ag property is situated 15 Km southeast of Hecla Mining’s high-grade Midas

gold-silver mine, and 3 km north of its Hollister gold-silver mine. Hecla’s new high-grade Green

Racer gold-silver discovery lies 13 km NW of Rimrock.

Geological Mapping, Sampling and Geophysics Completed. CAT has completed the

geological mapping and sampling at Rimrock. Drone magnetics, ground gravity and Induced

Polarization (“IP”) surveys also were completed, and are being interpreted by CAT’s consulting

geophysicist. Six additional lode mining claims were staked and filed on newly-discovered

gold-silver targets. Final interpretations are being completed.

Several gold-silver targets were outlined by this work, and detailed cross sections are being

prepared in order to fine-tune and prioritize the drilling targets. In the next phase of exploration

at Rimrock, CAT will be drill testing target areas for Midas-Hollister Mine-type epithermal gold-

silver, as well as new target areas for older, Carlin-age gold mineralization. Shallow-depth

silver-(gold) targets are also present, as indicated by drilling in 2007, perhaps associated with

“Hatter”-age (approximately 39 Ma) granitic bodies of Eocene age. Many of the more important

fault zones at Rimrock are interpreted to have been reactivated over time and different events

of mineralization, perhaps on top of each other.

A program of exploration drilling is now being formulated, and these sites will be permitted with

the State and federal Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for drilling. Drill permitting is

usually efficient in Elko County with federal and state regulators.

GOLD JACKPOT Copper-Gold-Silver-Tellurium Property

Geological Mapping and Sampling in Progress and Geophysics Completed. CAT

geologists are currently conducting fresh mapping and sampling at Gold Jackpot, and expect to

have it completed by the end of August with data inputted into a computerized GIS system.

Substantial evidence of jasperoid-associated Carlin-style gold mineralization has

recently been discovered, along with previously found evidence of a possible diatreme-

porphyry copper-gold-silver system, and a later superimposed high-grade tellurium-bearing

system. Mapping of these mineralization-alteration features is ongoing.

Drone magnetic and ground gravity surveys were completed. Two IP lines were completed as

well; one atop the diatreme-porphyry target, and one atop the northern part of the Carlin-style

gold target area, where a 1.2 gram per tonne gold in rock chip sample was taken previously by

Gold Reef International. CAT will complete the final interpretations in September following

which initial drill targets will be selected. Paving the way for permitting with the BLM and State.

Mr. Richard R. Redfern, M.S., C.P.G. No. 10717, is the qualified person as defined by National

Instrument 43-101 who has examined the property on the ground, and who reviewed the

geological information available from public sources related to the property, and is responsible

for approving the technical contents of this press release.
