BTU METALS CORP. ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION OF RED LAKE

POSITION THROUGH ACQUISITION OF BURGUNDY EXPLORATION CORP.

November 23, 2018, Red Lake, ON, Canada – BTU METALS CORP. (“BTU” or the “Company”)

(BTU-TSXV) is pleased to announce that it will acquire an additional 4,163 hectares of prospective and

geographically targeted mineral claims in the emerging Dixie discovery area of Red Lake through the

acquisition of Burgundy Exploration Corp. (the “Burgundy Acquisition”).

“Thanks to our geological and geophysical teams, I believe we are in a unique position of adding to

GBR's district success of building a new and exciting gold district. It now appears that with our new

hinge-offset geological and geophysical model, we could be looking at extending on GBR's 10 km

Dixie structure by an additional 10 kms owing to our new acquisition. We view today’s acquisition of

further greenstone exposure as significant for our shareholders, especially given a newly revealed

gold showing identified by our company’s recent data compilation and digitization efforts,” noted Mr.

Doug Hunter, Director of the Company.

Under the terms of the transaction, the Company will acquire 100% of the shares of Burgundy

Exploration Corp., from arm’s-length vendors, in exchange for 3.6 million shares, 1.8 million shares

which are to be issued upon closing and 1.8 million to be issued on the first anniversary of closing. A

pre-existing 2% GSR is applicable on the tenure being acquired under the Burgundy Acquisition. There

are no cash payments associated with the Burgundy Acquisition nor is there any mandated work

expenditures outside normal government assessment reporting obligations, which are next due on the

newly acquired property in the second -half of 2020. Closing of the transaction is subject to TSXV

approval. No finder’s fees are payable.

The additional mineral claims to be acquired through the Burgundy Acquisition will be referred to as

the Dixie Halo Southwest Extension (see maps associated with this news release) , and furthers t he

“hinge-offset” exploration model developed by BTU Metals by an additional 5 km to the SW. The

Company’s exploration team is currently being guided by results from the Fugro HELITEM airborne

electromagnetic (EM) and magnetics survey on Dixie Halo that highlights an interpreted fault around

which a “hinge offset” to the south and then west on the Company’s properties appears.

The Company is also pleased to announce that Mr. Alan King has been retained to further analyze the

Fugro report in order to identify new t rends and targets. This will be supplemented by work results

which have revealed three areas of gold showings that will be followed up on. Among other experience,

Mr. King has held posts as Manager of Geophysics at Teck Cominco with responsibility for glob al

exploration as well as Chief Geophysicist for Vale Global Exploration working on geophysical

applications as well as target generation using regional and global data sets.

Since acquiring the Dixie Halo properties this fall, BTU Metal’s geological team has been actively

advancing the project, including:

• Site visits to prospect and sample; and

• Desk reviews and digitization of assessment files; and

• Announced past resident geologist, Tony Pryslak to the BTU Advisory Board; and

• Initiated a 43-101 technical report; and

• Completed 600 line kilometers of drone surveys to assist with further prospecting; and

• Submission of samples to lab with assays pending.
