Casa Minerals Options 90% of Congress Gold Mine in Arizona and announces $2,500,000 Non-

Brokered Private Placement

Vancouver, British Columbia - (March 3, 2021) Casa Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: Casa; OTC: CASXF; Frankfurt: 0CM) (the

“Company” or “Casa”) is pleased to announce that the Company has optioned the Congress Gold Mine located in

west-central Arizona, USA. The historic Congress Gold Mine is located three miles north of Congress in Martinez

Mining District of Yavapai County. The property consists of 14 Patented Mineral Properties with approximately

260 acres area. Commencing in or about 1887, the Congress mine operated at intervals until 1992 and at one time

supported a full scale mining and milling operation and the small town of Congress. It has the distinction of being

Arizona’s largest gold-silver mine with production of about 500,000 ounces of gold.

Option Agreement:

Casa entered into an option agreement with the owners of the Congress Gold Mine (the “optionors”) whereby

Casa Minerals may acquire a 90% interest in the Congress mine and adjoining mineral properties by making option

payments to the optionors of US$100,000 (US$50,000 on completion of due diligence, US$50,000 12 months after

TSXV acceptance), issuing 2,500,000 shares (1,250,000 shares on TSXV acceptance and 1,250,000 12 months after

TSXV acceptance) and committing to exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 within three years. The optionors

will retain a 1.5% NSR of which one third may be purchased for $2,500,000. If a potentially viable NI43-101 mineral

reserve is developed, the Company will make payments of US$500,000 per every 100,000 oz of gold in reserve up

to a maximum of US$10,000,000. Ownership of surface rights to a depth of 40 feet from surface are excluded

from the purchase agreement.

The option agreement and the transactions contemplated there are subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture

Exchange.

Brief History

Congress Gold Mine has a history of intermittent production since 1887. Several different operators produced

gold-rich material from some of the 45 gold-bearing veins and structures that have been identified by surface

sampling and geological mapping. Most production is reported to be from the sub-parallel Congress and Niagara

Veins that occur in a northwest-southeast trend across the property. Although production records are incomplete,

mineralized material with 0.7 oz gold per ton are reported from the Congress vein; overall mine-life averages were

probably close to 0.3 ounces gold per ton . The Congress has been idle since 1992 when mining ceased, possibly

in part due to a dispute between the then -operator and the owners. The mine has not been evaluated and

explored using present day methods and economics.

Casa Minerals will conduct thorough reviews of regional and property data, with particular attention to extensions

of production areas and to the many mineralized structures that never achieved production. Also, it appears as if

some of the mined out parts of the mine were filled with low grade “waste” materials that were uneconomic at

the time but possibly now have value. Available property maps will be evaluated and added to a new data base.

Non-brokered Private Placement

Casa Minerals is arranging a $2,500,000 financing at $0.125 per unit (a “Unit”). Each Unit will consist of one share

and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional share at a price

of $0.30 per share. The expiry date of the warrants may be accelerated at the option of the Company if the

average closing price is greater than $0.45 per share for a period of 10 trading days. The private placement is

subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Minerals will result in identification of economically-viable mineral bodies comparable in size and/or grade to those

that supported historic mining operations.
