Churchill Enters into Option Agreements to Acquire two Properties at Taylor
Brook, NL
TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Churchill Resources Inc. (“ Churchill” or the “Company”) (TSXV: CRI) is
pleased to announce that is has entered into two option agreements on properties adjacent to the known Layden Ni-Cu-Co
showings at the Taylor Brook Property, NL. The two properties were covered with the VTEM-Plus™ survey flown by Geotech
for CRI at Taylor Brook earlier this year, and high priority anomalies were identified on both that are on-trend with the
conductors which appear to be associated with the known mineralization.
Paul Sobie, CEO of Churchill stated, “We are very pleased to complete these deals which consolidate the Layden Ni-Cu-Co
area along with the Altius claims and allow for seamless exploration. We’re in the permit application process presently to
undertake a drill program this fall on all of the compelling VTEM conductors in this area, and are very much looking forward to
commencing this work.”

statements") within the meaning of the applicable Canadian securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, are forward-looking statements and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as at the date of this
news release. Any statement that involves discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections,
objectives, assumptions, future events or performance (often but not always using phrases such as "expects", or "does not
expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", “proposed”, "budget", "scheduled", "forecasts",
"estimates", "believes" or "intends" or variations of such words and phrases or stating that certain actions, events or results
"may" or "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken to occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be
forward-looking statements. In this news release, forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company’s
future plans, objectives, goals and exploration activities conducted and proposed to be conducted at the Company’s
properties; receipt of the TSXV for the approval of the option agreements; receipt of all necessary regulatory and governmental
approvals to conduct exploration on the Company’s properties; future growth potential of the Company, including whether any
proposed exploration programs at any of the Company’s properties will be successful; exploration results; and future
exploration plans and costs and financing availability.
These forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company at the
time such statements were made. Actual future results may differ materially as forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the
Company to materially differ from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements. Such factors, among other things, include: the expected benefits to the Company relating to the
exploration conducted and proposed to be conducted at the Company’s properties; the receipt of all applicable regulatory
approvals for the Offering; failure to identify any additional mineral resources or significant mineralization; the preliminary nature
of metallurgical test results; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, including to
fund any exploration programs on the Company’s properties; business integration risks; fluctuations in general
macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in securities markets; fluctuations in spot and forward prices of gold, silver, base
metals or certain other commodities; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar to United States dollar
exchange rate); change in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic
developments; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including
environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations pressures, cave-ins and flooding); inability to
obtain adequate insurance to cover risks and hazards; the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on
mining and mineral exploration; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous
populations; availability of increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral
exploration and development (including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government
authorities); the unlikelihood that properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines; geological
factors; actual results of current and future exploration; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated; soil
sampling results being preliminary in nature and are not conclusive evidence of the likelihood of a mineral deposit; title to
properties; ongoing uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic; and those factors described in the most recently filed
management’s discussion and analysis of the Company. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news
release are based upon what management of the Company believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable assumptions,
the Company cannot assure shareholders that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking statements, as there
may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information, or
the material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward-looking information, will prove to be accurate. The Company
does not undertake to release publicly any revisions for updating any voluntary forward-looking statements, except as required
by applicable securities law.
