NEWS RELEASE

Work Started on the Waterpump Zone- Red Cliff Project
Stewart, BC – Decade Resources Ltd (“Decade”) reports that work has commenced on the
Red Cliff project. The property is located in the “ Golden Triangle” area of British Columbia,
2.5 km from a paved highway and the power grid. The property area is among the world’s
most prolific mineralized districts, host to past a nd current mining operations including Scottie
Gold, Porter – Idaho, Johnny Mountain, Red Mountain , Snip Mine, Premier Mine, Golden
Bear and Valley of the Kings. The Golden Triangle h as reported mineral resources (past
production and current resources) in total of 67 mi llion oz of gold, 569 million oz of silver and
27 billion pounds of copper. Pretium is milling in excess of 2700 tonnes per day from the
Valley of Kings deposit. It has 1.6 million ounces gold in the proven category (grade 14.5 g/t)
and 6.5 million ounces in the probable category (16 .1 g/t grade) (Pretium website). Seabridge
has 460 million tonnes grading 0.68 g/t gold and 0. 17 % copper in the proven category as
well as 1,738 million tonnes grading 0.51 g/t gold and 0.22 % copper in the probable
category. This reserve is within 4 different deposits (Seabridge website).
Exploration during the 2017 field season indicates that the Red Cliff property hosts a large
mineralized system that has been traced over 2 kilo metres. Work in 2018 will expand on the
significant results obtained in 2017 drilling on th e Waterpump zone which is interpreted as
the south fault extension of the Montrose zone. Hig hlights of assays obtained during the
2017 drill program on the Waterpump include:
• Intersection of 13.88 g/t gold over 7.5 m in DDH-17-M0N-38.
• Intersection of 10.41 g/t gold over 22.87 m in DDH-17-M0N-40.
• Intersection of 7.21 g/t gold over 7.16 m in DDH-17-M0N-41.
Work being completed at present includes snow remov al off the drill trails, evaluation of
avalanche danger and mobilization of drill equipmen t. Drilling early at the Waterpump zone
removes the necessity for stringing 2 km of water-l ine over a great height for the drill as snow
melt will provide the water necessary for drilling.
Mapping during 2017 along with thin section studies indicates that the Red Cliff property
features a major fault structure which hosts the Re d Cliff, Montrose and Waterpump zones. It
has been mapped over 2.3 km of strike. Almost all o f the tectonic deformation recorded on
the property occurs within this major deformation z one. It is of the ductile type comprised of
zones of moderate foliation and smaller zones of st ronger shearing which are intercalated
with undeformed rocks. In several places strongly s tretched-out clasts were noted. This,
along with conspicuous lack of brittle deformation indicate tectonic deformation under
conditions of high temperature and pressure. Foliat ion and shearing within the fault zone
strikes mostly NW-SE (most measurements range from 120 to 140 degrees), dipping very
steeply to SW. This is roughly parallel to the orig inal bedding observed in the volcaniclastic
rocks of the Betty Creek Formation. Intrusive rocks emplaced along this deformation zone
appear to have a role in the formation of mineraliz ed zones.
The Company is also completing geological models, a ssay grade shell models and combined
models on the project for drill results from 2007 t o 2017.
