BOREAL CONDUCTS SOIL SURVEY AT FREDRIKSSON MINE TARGET,

GUMSBERG PROJECT

Vancouver, B.C., September 1, 2020. Boreal Metals Corp. ("Boreal" or the "Company")

(TSXV:BMX) is pleased to announce ongoing exploration on its 100% owned silver-zinc-lead-gold

Gumsberg Project located in the Bergslagen Province of Southern Sweden. Boreal is conducting

soil sampling at the past producing Fredriksson Mine (21,000 tonnes grading 53 g/t silver, 5.13%

zinc, and 1.7% lead from a test pit; and 45,000 tonnes grading 49 g/t silver, 5.77% zinc and 1.84%

lead underground) as part of an ongoing initiative to advance the target to drill testing (Figure 1).

“The Fredriksson Mine contains silver-zinc mineralization reminiscent of Broken Hill-type Pb-Zn-

Ag (BHT) deposits, named after the Broken Hill Deposit, the largest accumulation of Pb-Zn-Ag on

Earth1,2”, stated Patricio Varas, Chairman and CEO of Boreal. “Boreal is committed to advancing

Fredriksson to drill testing as a significant step forward for the Company and is part of a broader

strategy to conduct exploration drilling in three significant areas with past production including

Ostra Silvberg, Vallberget-Loberget and Fredriksson.”

Soil Survey Parameters and Analysis

A total of 112 soil samples colleced at 15-25 centimetres below the organic horizon across 3 test

lines with an average sample station spacing of 15 metres and an average line spacing of 100

metres. Soil samples are analyzed by portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and by ALS Scandinavia

AB for Ionic Leach (ME-MS23) and Leach PH (pH-MS23). A duplicate sample was collected every

20 samples. Blind geochemical standards were not incorporated into the orientation survey.

About Fredriksson Gruva (Fredriksson Mine)

Fredriksson Gruva was discovered in 1976 by LKAB Prospektering AB. Exploration was carried

out in 1976 and 1977 including surface trenching, sampling and 9 diamond drill holes which

identified precious metal enriched base metal mineralization. In 1977, AB Statsgruvor (ABS)

acquired the Fredrikssongruvan prospect and conducted open pit test mining in 1978. Test

mining was conducted to a depth of 20 metres below surface and produced 21,500 tonnes

grading 53 g/t silver, 5.13% zinc and 1.7% lead, and to a depth of 20 metres 19783. A total of 11

additional holes were drilled in 1979 to test the down plunge extent of mineralization. Between

1980 and 1981 mining activites resumed and an underground tram was installed. A total of

45,000 additional tonnes grading 49 g/t silver, 5.77% zinc and 1.84% lead were produced from

holes were drilled and a core relogging progam was completed. In addition, surface trenching

and a magnetic gephysical survey was completed. Boreal staked the Fredriksson Gruva prospect

as part of a larger staking acquisition (Gumsberg nr 9) in March 2017. This licence is refered to

as “Gumsberg West“ and forms the western half of the highly prospective Gumsberg Project.

About Boreal Metals Corp.

Boreal is a mineral exploration company focused on the discovery of silver, zinc, copper and gold

deposits in exceptional, historical mining project areas spanning Sweden and Norway. The

Company aims to discover new economic mineral deposits in known mining districts that have

seen little or no modern exploration techniques. The Company is led by experienced board,

management and technical teams, each with successful track records in mineral discovery,

mining development and financing.
