SMOOTH ROCK ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGES

Vancouver, B.C. December 20, 2019 - Smooth Rock Ventures Corp. (“Smooth Rock ” or the

“Company”) (TSX.V:SOCK) announces the resignation of Mr. Yves Caron as Chief Executive Officer

(“CEO”) and a director of the Company.

“It has been a great privilege to serve Smooth Rock as its CEO , but my interest and expertise lies in the

technical aspects of building successful mining projects,” stated Yves Caron. “Smooth Rock has progressed

rapidly. The addition of new projects and the evolution of the strategy have forced me to decide where I

can best serve the Company and contribute to its success. Whilst it was not an easy decision, I am convinced

that the Company needs more corporate leadership and that will allow me to focus my energy and efforts

where I can contribute the most.”

Michel David, a current director , has been appointed as interim CEO until a recruitment process can

successfully appoint a new CEO. “Yves is a respected and experienced senior geologist” stated Michel

David, Interim CEO. “While I am sure his decision was difficult, his focus on what the Company needs

most and where his greatest talents lie have made his decision understandable. We are grateful Yves will

remain with us as an advisory board member and consultant. We wish Yves well and thank him for his

development efforts in helping us establish a strategic course for the Company.”
