AURCREST ANNOUNCES CHANGE OF NAME TO BIG TREE CARBON

INC.

NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

APRIL 21, 2022 TSXV Symbol: AGO

Toronto, Ontario, April 21, 2022 – AurCrest Gold Inc. (the “Company” or “AurCrest”)

(TSXV:AGO) is pleased to announce that the Company is changing its name from “AurCrest

Gold Inc.” to “Big Tree Carbon Inc.”to reflect the new opportunity in the carbon resource

business. As few companies have emerged in this new and important space, the Company

believes identifying as a company in this resource-based business would be advantageous. The

sequestration of the carbon mineral (C #6 on the periodic table) is a new and little understood

industry on the global resource landscape. Big Tree Carbon Inc. intends to be a first mover and

an important player in the development of this industry and recommends that identifying as such

at this time would reflect this intention and identify this opportunity for the Company. The

Shareholders of the Company overwhelmingly approved the change of name at the Annual

General and Special Meeting held on April 19, 2022. The change of name will become effective

at the opening of the market on Friday, April 22, 2022. The Company’s trading symbol on the

TSX Venture Exchange will remain “AGO”. The CUSIP number assigned to the Company’s

common shares following the name change will be 08969W101 and the ISIN will be

CA08969W1014.
