HACKBERRY SILVER PROJECT - EXPLORATION UPDATE

Bitterroot Resources Ltd.’s (BTT, TSX-V) contractors have initiated the first phase of geological

and geophysical surveys on the Hackberry Silver Project.

In early April , geophysical contractors completed a reconnaissance ground-based magnetic

survey over approximately two (2) kilometres of strike length along the Hackberry mineralized

structure, between the Sunshine and Silver King mines . This survey delineated magnetic lows

over the main silver -mineralized structures and showed there is potential for these mineralized

zones to continue along strike, down dip and beneath adjacent covered areas . Two

reconnaissance Induced Polarization (IP) lines identified resistivity lows which are coincident

with the magnetic lows. In order to further define drill targets , Bitterroot has retained a

contractor to fly a detailed, 175 line-km airborne (UAV) magnetometer survey over the claim s.

Data from this survey is expected to be received by the end of April.

Also in early April, geological contractors finished collecting detailed geological and structural

data on the Hackberry claim block, with emphasis on the areas around the past -producing

Sunshine and Silver King mines. A preliminary review of the data shows several intersecting

vein trends with alteration that is coincident with magnetic and resistivity lows.

Bitterroot’s management has also initiated a program of proactive engagement with local

landowners and regulators.

A cohesive geological and geophysical picture of the Hackberry mineralized system is emerging.

Management’s objective is to rapidly advance the project , with drill -testing planned to start in

the next few months.
