District Commences SkyTEM Survey at the Tomtebo Property
Vancouver, B.C. July 13, 2020
July 13, 2020 – District Metals Corp . (TSX -V: DMX; " District" or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that an airborne electromagnetic (“EM”) and magnetic survey has
commenced on the Tomtebo Property (“Tomtebo” or the “Property”), located in the Bergslagen
Mining District in south-central Sweden.
Garrett Ainsworth, CEO of District, commented: “The Bergslagen Mining District is known for
large high grade polymetallic mineralized systems that can be identified by their conductive and
magnetic properties. For such a prolific district, the lack of EM and detailed magnetic coverage
is astounding. The recently commenced SkyTEM312 HP survey represents the first time a deep
penetrating airborne EM survey (greater than 200 m depth) has been carried out on the Tomtebo
Property. This is significant because we know that these systems in the Bergs lagen Mining
District can have mineral resources from surface to depths of 1600 m , such as is the case at
Boliden’s Garpenberg Mine and Lundin Mining’s Zinkgruvan Mine.”
The Company retained SkyTEM Surveys ApS based out of Denmark to undertake this detailed
heliborne SkyTEM312 HP (transient electromagnetic – high power) and magnetic survey over
the Tomtebo Property. T he survey will cover the entire 5,144-hectare Tomtebo Property with
approximately 600 line -kilometers at a line spacing of 1 00 m, and is capable of detecting
conductive polymetallic sulphide mineralization at depths of 500 m or more . The Tomtebo
Property is underlain by an ideal geological environment for effective EM data collection in that
the volcanic and intrusive country rocks are very resistive, in contrast to the conductive sulphide
mineralization, which will provide excellent resolution of any EM conductive anomaly identified.
Also, the absence of graphitic geological units on the Property is positive because distinguishing
between sulphide- and graphite-sourced EM conductors is otherwise a challenge that typically
requires follow-up ground EM surveys to resolve.
In general, it is anticipated that the SkyTEM312 HP survey will identify the copper-gold dominant
sulphide mineralization (feeder zones) as a moderate to strong conductor while the silver -zinc-
lead dominant sulphide mineralization (distal zones) may show as non-conductive to weakly
conductive due to the zinc sulphide mineralization. However, the silver-zinc-lead mineralization
in the district often has associated magnetic sulphides, which is expected to be detected as a
moderate to strong magnetic high. The EM and magnetic data acquired from the SkyTEM312
HP survey wi ll be interpreted by Condor Consulting and Geovista AB , and 3D inversions and
Maxwell plates will be produced to identify high priority target areas.

About District Metals Corp.
District Metals Corp. is led by industry professionals with a track record of success in the mining
industry. The Company’s mandate is to seek out, explore, and develop prospective mineral
properties through a discipl ined science-based approach to create shareholder value and benefit
other stakeholders.
The advanced exploration stage Tomtebo Property, located in the Bergslagen Mining District of
south-central Sweden, is the Company’s main focus. The Tomtebo Property comprises 5,144 ha,
and is situated between the historic Falun Mine and Boliden’s Garpenberg Mine located 25 km
to the northwest and southeast, respectively. Two historic polymetallic mines and numerous
polymetallic showings are located on the Tomtebo Prop erty along an approximate 17 km trend
that exhibits similar geology, structure, alteration and VMS/SedEx style mineralization as other
significant mines within the district. Mineralization that is open at depth and along strike at the
historic mines on the Tomtebo Property has not been followed -up and modern systematic
exploration has never been conducted on the Property.

represent manag ement’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events. Forward-looking
statements relating to District include, among other things, statements relating to District’s planned exploration
activities and the anticipated results thereof.
These statements and other forward-looking information are based on opinions, assumptions and estimates made by
District in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments, as well as other fact ors that the Company believes are appropriate and reasonable in the
circumstances, as of the date of this news release, including, without limitation, assumptions about the reliability of
historical data and the accuracy of publicly reported information re garding past and historic exploration and
production in the Bergslagen Mining District; the Company’s ability to raise sufficient capital to fund planned
exploration activities, maintain corporate capacity and satisfy the exploration expenditure requireme nts required
by the definitive purchase agreement between the Company and the vendor of the Tomtebo Property (the "Definitive
Purchase Agreement") by the times specified therein (failing which the Tomtebo Property will be forfeited without
any repayment to the Company); and stability in financial and capital markets.

Definitive Purchase Agreement, failing which the Tomtebo Property will be forfeited without any repayment of the
purchase price); risks related to management and conflicts of interest; fluctuations in demand for, and prices of gold,
silver and copper; inherent risks of exploration for mineral deposits, including that commercial quantities or grades
of minerals may not be discovered; risks associated with the uncertainty of estimates of mineral resources
governmental regulations, particularl y those applicable to the mineral exploration and development industry;
environmental laws and regulations and associated risks, including climate change legislation; land reclamation
requirements; the ability to obtain and maintain necessary rights, conce ssions and permits; risks of operating in a
