BTU GALWAY GOLD UPDATE - EXPLORATION TEAM DISCOVERS NEW

VEIN AT LEE TARGET, GALWAY, IRELAND

November 27th, 2017, Vancouver, BC, Canada – BTU METALS CORP. (“BTU ” or the “Company”) (BTU -

TSX:V) reports the following exploration program update for the Company's Galway Gold property. The

Exploration Team is currently conducting geological mapping, sampling, prospe cting, as well as Magnetometer,

and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys at the Lee, Teernakill, Fooey, and Glenlusk target areas.

At the Lee area, a new vein has been discovered approximately 250 meters from the Lee vein. The vein is trending

northwest at right angles to the Lee vein and is associated with a fault structure that cuts the foliated schist. The

mineralogy of the vein is similar to samples taken in the southeast portion of the Lee Valley which contains several

locations where multi-gram gold samples have been found (see PR dated July 27, 2017).

“The discovery of a new vein at Lee is very encouraging. We look forward to obtaining assays and the interpretation

of geophysics from this current program in order to define drill targets for 2018.” stated Paul Wood, CEO of BTU.

A 20 line kilometer grid has been surveyed over and extending from the previously identified areas of high -grade

gold mineralization. Ground magnetometer surveys have been completed over the grid and a programme of high-

density deep-overburden soil sampling is currently being carried out. Preliminary magnetometer results suggest an

east-west trending lithology contact occurs parallel to Lee Creek and adjacent to the Lee vein showing, as well as

several fault structures which coincide with north-south trending creek gullies.

A ground penetrating radar survey has been permitted by the EMD on the Lee grid, and Terravision UK will begin

this survey on November 27th, 2017. Terravision’s GPRPlus system is a state of the art method of overburden and

bedrock surveying which is useful in identifying vein and fault structures in the Dalradian Group gold -bearing

metamorphic rocks of Ireland.

The historic Teernakill mine site is also undergoing further exploration. Ground magnetics surv eys as well as

geological mapping and sampling have been completed. At Teernakill, sulphide replacement zones consisting of

massive and semi-massive pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite occur intermittently over a strike -length of approximately

500 meters and width s ranging between 1 -4 meters. Several new areas of mineralization located outside of the

historical mine workings have been discovered.

At the Glenlusk target area, angular float samples taken in 2015 returned 930 ppb, 2370 ppb, and 5066 ppb gold

respectively (Gold Note Minerals, 2015). For the 2017 programme, extensive geological mapping and rock

sampling (including bedrock), as well as magnetometer surveys have been carried out over the primary area of

interest. This work has traced a north -south fault structure that cuts the east -west trend of the country rock. The

geological setting is similar to the Bohaun Gold Occurrence located 4.5km to the north. Bohaun is a north-northeast

trending, steeply dipping quartz breccia zone that has seen extensive exploration for epithermal gold mineralization.

Fooey Target Area: In the summer of 2016, a fixed wing high resolution aeromagnetic survey conducted by Sander

Geophysics Ltd (on behalf of the Geological Survey of Ireland) identified a 0.5 X 7 kilometer, east -west trending

high strength positive anomaly that correlates with surface exposures of Bencorragh Formation metamorphosed

pillow lava located south of Lough Nafooy. Geological mapping, geochemical rock sampling, and ground

magnetometer geophysics were carried out over this formation. Widespread jasper-bearing chert horizons occur as

late-stage layers and fragmental zones within the formation. Localized high order positive magnetometer anomalies

correlate with layered and fragmental bright red coloured f erruginous chert, as well as increased amounts of

disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, and minor chalcopyrite. Ground magnetometer geophysics and geological mapping

has identified several prospective zones. Additionally, vuggy crystalline quartz veins with saccharoidal-crustiform

textures and sparse sulphide mineralization occur as late stage infillings, suggesting potential for low sulphidation,

epithermal deposit types similar to Bohaun located 3.5 km to the south-east.
