SHAKESPEARE GOLD PROJECT MID-DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE
February 2nd, 201 8, Vancouver, BC, Canada – BTU METALS CORP. (“BTU ” or the “Company”) (BTU -
TSX:V) reports that it is currently mid-way through the previously announced drill program at its Shakespeare Gold
properties (PR November 14, 2017) including the historic Shakespeare Mine shaft . Drilling has resumed after a
pause due to the deep freeze in the area. Two of four planned drill holes are now complete.
The historic grid from the 2014 Magnetics and IP program was located and re-established during Fall 2017 and four
hole locations were chained from the base line and holes spotted. The drill holes are designed to test the easterly
and westerly extension of the known mine workings and past known historic exploration work and drilling. The
targets were chosen using largely the historic IP survey results, which produced strong anomalies on direct strike
with the known workings; and to follow-up the successful drilling completed by the last operators in 2014 in which
a highlight result was 15 g/t Au over 4 meters including 48 g/t Au over 1 meter . The IP anomaly on which the old
Shakespeare Mine is located extends along and in close proximity to the Murray Fault, which is an important
regional fault structure.
The first hole, a step-out, was drilled to a depth of 210 m at a point 300 m east of the 2014 drilling and 200 m east
of h istoric work or previous drilling. The hole intersected mineralization at the interpreted target depth and
mineralized over a 15 m length of core.
The core has been logged but not yet been sampled or assayed. The second hole was drilled 200 m west of the 2014
drilling. Two more holes are planned for the current program.
Core logging, sampling and splitting will be completed when the planned four-hole program is finished. All samples
will be sawed and sent to Act Labs in Timmins, Ontario.
