BTU WORK PROGRAM UPDATE; DIXIE HALO, RED LAKE, ONTARIO
August 19th. 2019, Vancouver, BC, Canada – BTU Metals Corp. (“BTU” or th e “Company”) (BTU -TSX:V) is
pleased to provide the following update on its ongoing exploration activities at its Dixie Halo project located in Red
Lake, Ontario.
The Company is currently drilling the eighth hole of the program with 7 holes, totalling approximately 1,300 meters,
now complete. Drilling to date has focused on testing IP anomalies near the north central boundary with Great Bear
Resources (GBR-TSX:V) about 1.5 km south of GBR’s “Hinge Zone”. Select core continues to be logged, sawn
and shipped to the lab for assays as the holes are completed.
Among drill targets to be tested is a fence of short holes to test strong , broad IP chargeability anomalies on what
appears to be the strike extension of GBR’s newly recognized “LP Fault” structure. This structure hosts high grade
gold at several locations along several kilometres and the structure is reported to be 18 km in length. BTU geologists
believe the southeastern portion of this fault appears to cross BTU’s ground. Other sub-parallel structures have been
interpreted to be present or extend on to the Dixie Halo property.

Concurrent to the drill prog ram, geophysical work plus prospect ing is ongoing to identify additional targets and
further assess the potential of the project.
“We are in the early days of our exploration program at Dixie Halo. After a brief mechanical delay on the second
hole we are in full production now and with every hole drilled gaining valuable knowledge about the geologic
settings of gold at Dixie and we are focused on what we regard as excellent targets for upcoming holes. ” stated
Doug Hunter, VP Exploration for BTU.
The Company would like to acknowledge the continuing support and assistance of the team at the MNDM office in
Red Lake. The staff there continues to be extremely helpful as the company ramps up its 2019 exploration program.
