February 7, 2020 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Arbor Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV:

referred to as the “Rakounga Project” (the “Project”). Kruger has control over operations
conducted on the Project, and can acquire the interest in the Project by completing a series of
cash payments and incurring exploration expenditures in the development of the Project.
In consideration for the acquisition of Kruger, the Company has agreed to pay cash

connection with the acquisition of Kruger, nor are any finders’ fees or commissions owing.
Following completion of the acquisition, the Company will assume control of o perations

The acquisition of K ruger resulted from the Company’s ongoing assessment of strategic
acquisition opportunities in the exploration-stage mineral sector. This assessment has focused
on projects located in Africa, with a particular focus on Africa, and the Company will look to add
additional projects to its portfolio in the near term.
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 Kruger, or the Project, to represent the
majority of i ts assets going forward. The Company is at arms’-length from Kruger, and the
Vendor, and the acquisition of Kruger does not constitute a fundamental acquisition under the
policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company also announces that Alex Klenman has been appointed as Director of Corporate
Development for the Company, and has transitioned the duties of Chief Executive Officer to
Mark Ferguson, effectively immediately.
