BTU METALS APPLIES FOR DRILL PERMITS ON DIXIE HALO PROJECT

FOLLOWING END OF FALL DRONE AND PROSPECTING PROGRAM

November 20, 201 8, Vancouver, BC, Canada – BTU CAPITAL CORP . (“BTU” or the

“Company”) (BTU-TSX:V) announces it is in the process of filing drill permit applications for its

Dixie Halo, Dixie Halo South and Dixie Halo Southeast properties located contiguous to Great Bear

Resources Ltd. (GBR-TSX:V)(“GBR”) Dixie Lake project in Red Lake, Ontario.

Following a second, successful work program at Dixie Halo South the Company has determined to

commence drill permit applications and looks forward to fast tracking a maiden drill program in the

New Year. The recent program consisted of limited sampling and mapping, a drone survey, and review

of assessment files and geological interpretation. The drone survey covered approximately 350 line

kilometers over 1700 hectares near the northern property boundary with Great Bear and the interpreted

extension of the Great Bear mineralization trend. The orthophoto from this survey will serve as a base

map to improve efficiency in all future exploration programs on the property, in cluding drilling,

sampling, and mapping. Drone survey data is currently being processed in Vancouver.

BTU President Mike England states “ BTU has had the good fortune to expeditiously acquire these

projects upon GBR’s reporting of a high-grade discovery of drill core assaying 16.35 meters of 26.91

g/t gold and 7 meters of 44.47 g/t gold in two holes at the Great Bear’s Dixie Project (see PR dated

August 22, 2018). Dixie Halo South has become our immediate focus in the a rea given both the

proximity to GBR’s recent discovery plus the amount of data already available on the ground.”

DIXIE SOUTH (“DS”)

• Fugro HELITEM airborne electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic Survey conducted by vendor

resulting in 30 drill targets identified at Dixie Halo South

in an effort to focus the Company on the remainder of its portfolio.
