BITTERROOT RESOURCES TO RESUME DRILLING

Bitterroot Resources Ltd. (symbol BTT, TSX -V) and its joint venture partner Below

Exploration Inc. plan to resume drilling at the LM nickel -copper property in the Upper

Peninsula of Michigan during the week of January 10, 2022.

Drilling will focus on the SE quadrant of the LM intrusion , where vertical holes will test

the keel of the LM intrusion down-plunge from high-grade nickel-copper-bearing massive

sulphide, at depths below 250 metres.

The first hole to be drilled (LM 22-22) will be located approximately 25 metres east of hole

LM 20-07, which intersected 0.75 metre s grading 5.16% nickel and 1.18% copper and

approximately 38 metres northeast of hole LM 21 -14, which intersected 1.07 metre s

grading 4.09% nickel and 0.78% copper. The position of these mineralized intervals on the

basal contact is shown in a slide presentation on the LM Property , which is posted on the

company’s website www.bitterrootresources.com.

Exploration of the LM Project is being funded by project operator Bitterroot Resources

Ltd. (51%) and its privately-owned joint venture partner Below Exploration Inc. (49%).

Mr. Glenn W. Scott, CPG, is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of

Quality assurance/Quality control

Bitterroot Resources Ltd. used ALS Canada Ltd. ( “ALS”) for geochemical analyses and

assaying. ALS is a global leader in analytical services. The samples were analyzed at

ALS’s secure, ISO 17025 -certified laboratory in North Vancouver, BC, Canada, by 33 -

element four acid leach and Fire Assay, both with ICP-AES finish.

Analytical quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) confirming the accuracy of the

analyses were performed by ALS using twelve (12) standard samples and two (2) blanks.

Core samples were transferred on a daily basis from the drill site to Bitterroot’s secure core

storage and logging facility. After leaving the drill site, core samples were in the custody

of Bitterroot’s personnel or in secure storage. The two (2)-inch (5 cm)-diameter NQ-sized

drill core was cut with a rock saw. Half of the c ore was shipped to ALS for sample

preparation and analysis and half retained. The samples were tagged, bagged and boxed by

Bitterroot personnel and shipped via courier to ALS in North Vancouver, B.C.
