CONQUEST REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders August 31, 2020
Toronto, Ontario-August 14, 2020
Conquest Resources Limited (TSX-V: “CQR”) reports its second quarter results for the six months
ended June 30, 2020.
This news release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited financial statements and
the associated management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three and six month period ended
June 30, 2020 which are available on the Company’s website at www.conquestresources.com or under
the Company’s profile at www.sedar.c om.
Acquisition of Canadian Continental Exploration Corp.
In July 2020, the Company entered into a conditional agreement to acquire Canadian Continental
Exploration Corp. which holds an extensive package of mining claims surrounding the Golden Rose
property, as well as approximately $900,000 in a combination of cash and Osisko Metals shares. See
Conquest News Releases July 16 and August 7, 2020.
The package consists of almost 10,000 hectares of under explored mining lands highly prospective for
precious and base metals, which include the Teckmag1 and Eaglerock claims. When combined with the
Company’s current land holdings, Conquest will control over 130 square kilometers making it the one of
the largest land holders in the Temagami Mining Camp.
Under the Acquisition Agreement, Conquest will issue 40,306,667 post consolidated shares of Conquest
to the shareholders of CCEC, on the basis of one post consolidated share for each share of CCEC held.
The Golden Rose mine (currently flooded) consists of more than six kilometres of underground workings,
as well as a three (3) compartment, 228 -metre-deep shaft, and a modern decline ramp from su rface to
the 6th level of the mine.
Between 1915 and 1988, mining operations at the Golden Rose Gold Mine produced approximately
52,000 oz of gold from structurally controlled, high -grade quartz-pyrite veins, hosted almost exclusively
within the banded iron formations. Surface drilling between 1984-2011 identified rich mineralization lying
adjacent to known underground development. It was reported by previous operators that diamond
drilling between 2009-2011 intersected gold grades as high as 155.7 grams o f gold per tonne over 1.82
metres.

Exploration work by Conquest has identified eight high priority geophysical targets associated with filtered
magnetic and EM conductive anomalies, considered favourable for gold exploration. Six of these
geophysical target areas have gold -in-soil anomalies that occur along the two prospective Banded Iron
Formation (“BIF”) horizons. Much of the eastern portion of the property remains largely unexplored
In addition to exploration for gold on the past producing Golden Rose Mine, in which gold mineralization
is hosted in porphyry intruded banded iron formations, potential for two other styles of economic mineral
deposits have been identified within the enlarged land package.
There is evidence for the potential of Sudbury s tyle Nickel-Copper- PGE and Cobalt deposits, such as the
high grade Copperfields Mine located on Temagami Island which was the mine which started Teck
Resources. There is also evidence of Archean paleo placer deposits analogous to South Africa’s
Witwatersrand gold deposits, such as the discoveries made by Inventus Mining in nearby Pardo Township.
Annual Meeting August 31, 2020 - Share Consolidation
Subject to shareholder approval at an Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on August
31, 2020, the Company will consolidate all its issued and outstanding common shares at a consolidation
ratio of one (1) new post -consolidation share for every two and one half (2.5) pre -consolidation shares
(the ”Consolidation”) immediately prior to the completion of the Acquisition, and conditional thereon.
Private Placement Financing up to $3,000,000
In conjunction with the Acquisition, and conditional thereon, and subject to final acceptance of the
TSX Venture Exchange, the Company will complete a non-brokered private placement of up to $3 million.
The financing will consist of a combination of units at a price of 12 cents per unit, which will include a
common share and a 2 year half warrant exercisable at 18 cents, and flow through shares at a price of 15
cents per share. The securities will be issued in the form of Subscription Receipts which will be converted
to shares and warrants upon completion of the Consolidation and the Acquisition. Up to 25,000,000 post
consolidated shares may be issued upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts.
Upon completion of the acquisition of Canadian Continental Exploration Corp. and the planned financing,
Conquest will have approximately $3 to $4 million in funds, the flow through portion of which will be used
for a pla nned drilling program at Golden Rose, and continued exploration at the Alexander Property at
Red Lake and the Smith Lake Property, while the remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate
purposes, working capital and future acquisitions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Conquest recorded no revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 or June 30, 2019.
