STRAIGHTUP ANNOUNCES RESULTS FROM RE-LOGGING OF HISTORIC DRILL
CORE ON BELANGER PROPERTY, RED LAKE DISTRICT, ONTARIO
PROVIDES UPDATE ON RLX NORTH AND RLX SOUTH PROPERTIES
Vancouver, British Columbia : Straightup Resources Inc. ("Straightup" or
the "Company"; CSE: ST) is pleased to announce the results from its re-logging and
sampling of the historic diamond drill core from the Kings Bay Gold Corporation ("Kings
Bay") 2002 diamond drilling program at the Williamson Occurrence on the Company's
Belanger property (the "Belanger Property"), located in the Red Lake District, Ontario.
Re-logging and assaying of the Kings Bay drill core revealed multiple areas of
mineralization not previously sampled. Highlights from the re-logging and assaying are
shown in Table 1 and include: 1020ppb Au, 625ppb Au and 2.5g/t Ag over 0.91m in hole
GL-3, 464ppb Au, 6.5g/t Ag, 0.73% Cu over 0.91m and 97ppg Au, 2.5g/t Ag, 0.50% Cu
over 0.91m in hole GL-5, and 3.7g/t Ag, 0.46% Cu over 0.91m in hole GL-15.
Intervals of mineralization in hole GL-3 may correspond to previously reported assays by
Kings Bay in hole GL -01 (30 50ppb Au over 0.45m, and 2106ppb Au over 1.22m)
(Figure 1). However, th e section of the drill core from GL -1 was not present for the
Company to re-assay, and the results from the assays previously reported by Kings Bay
are historic and may not accurately reflect the mineralization present on the Belanger
Property. Additionally, some sections of the drill core were missing or out of order when
the Company received them. The geologists conducting the sampling and re -logging
pieced these sections of the drill core together, but sampling depths and intervals may
not accurately reflect the location of mineralization present on the Belanger Property.
Previous surface samples collected by the C ompany from the "Trench E" area of the
Belanger Property in 2020 (see news release dated August 13, 2020) included 24.8g/t Au
over 60cm, 5.8g/t over 82cm , and 6.21g/t Au over 20cm chip samples. The Company
intends on carrying out further work to try and correlate the surface sampling with the
historic Kings Bay drill core to better understand the control of mineralization on the
Belanger Property.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
All drill core samples collected were split in half using a mechanical splitter, sealed
individually at the core processing facility and delivered by Clark Exploration and

Consulting employees to AGAT Laboratories, located in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Each
sample was analyzed using the AGAT Laboratories codes 202051, Fire Assay - AAS
(30g); 201073, Aqua Regia Digest / ICP-OES Finish, and 201676 Lithium Borate Fusion
XRF Finish. Being an early stage sampling program, the Company relied on the AGAT
Laboratories internal duplicate and standard protocols.
RLX North & South Properties
The Company continues to review and compile the data received from Tri Origin
Exploration Ltd. ("Tri Origin") for the RLX North and South properties (together, the "RLX
Properties"). As part of the data compilation process, the Company intends to reprocess
the VTEM data received from Tri Origin and conduct SHG ( soil gas h ydrocarbon)
sampling over target areas on the RLX Properties. The Company intends to use the
results from SGH sampling in conjunction with the data received from Tri Origin to help
define targets for future work programs on the RLX Properties. The necessary permitting
application for the planned exploration on the RLX Properties has been submitted to the
Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines for expected
commencement in early spring. If SGH results outline prospective areas that are not
covered in the permit application an additional permit will need to be submitted to cover
these areas for further early exploration activities.
