March 16, 2020 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Arbor Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV:

ABR) announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kruger Gold Corp. (“Kruger”), has reached

an agreement to expand the scope of its existing right to acquire a seventy-five percent interest

in and to the Rakounga Gold Project (the “Project”), located in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Under the revised terms, Kruger now was the right to acquire up to a one-hundred percent

interest in and to the Project, subject only to pre-existing royalty obligations. Kruger has control

over operations conducted on the Project, and can acquire a ninety-percent interest in the

Project by completing a series of cash payments totaling $1,000,000, and incurring exploration

expenditures of at least $1,250,000 in the development of the Project over a five-year term.

Following completion of these payments and expenditures, Kruger can acquire the remaining

ten-percent interest in the Project by completing a one-time cash payment of $1,000,000.

The Project is subject to a one-percent net smelter returns royalty in favour of an underlying

owner, as well as a further one-percent royalty in favour of Sandstorm Gold Ltd. F ollowing

acquisition of the Project, Kruger would assume responsibility for these existing royalty

obligations.

The Company continues to explore further opportunities for strategic acquisitions in the

exploration-stage mineral sector. A t this time, the Company does not intend to devote the

majority of its resources to the development of the Project in the next twelve months, nor does it

expect the Project to represent the majority of its assets going forward.
