Berkwood Surface Sampling at Lac Guéret Graphite Extensions Project

completed, field crews demobilize.

September 11th, 2019, VANCOUVER, B.C. Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR, FSE: BK2,

WKN: A110N3) (“Berkwood” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has de-mobilized field

crews from its Lac Guéret extension projects, located adjacent to its Lac Guéret South Graphite Project in

Quebec, following the collection of surface graphite exposure samples and near surfa ce conductor

distribution data by Beep Mat (refer NR of 24th July, 2019). Based upon the recent News Release regarding

the Company’s robust pit -constrained mineral resource at its Lac Guéret South Project (NR of July 19 th,

2019), t he Company has determined that a long- term graphite production strategy is further served by

evaluating multiple proximally located podiform graphite deposits (comparable to its centrally located Zone

1 project) to feed a future, centrally located processing facility. The model is amenable to graphite

production from multiple shallow , low strip ratio op en pit mining locations surrounding the Company’s

existing project.

To advance the current project model the Company has, in the context of resource learning acquired from

the evaluation of its drilled Zone 1 occurrence, further assessed the historic sam pling of known graphite

exposure on ground explored by previous workers. The review isolated a number of high priority targets,

some of which have returned high grade samples during work by previous entities, and which have been

acquired by Berkwood (refer NRs of August 7th and 22nd, 2019) for exploration and immediate evaluation

of known occurrences.

The rapid geophysics and sampling campaign recovered seventy-nine (79) grab samples and sixty-six (66)

sawn-channel samples containing visually identified graphite from seven zones of graphitic mineralization,

with focus upon Zones 6 and 9. All samples have been submitted to Activation Laboratories of Ancaster,

Ontario, for graphitic carbon assay. The sampling was supported by the detection of conductive shallow

sub-crop by Beep Mat.

The program accessed the first round of targets using existing roads and forest trails, and the work was led

by Quebec based teams: channel sampling was supervised by Steven Lauzier P.Geo of Acton Vale, QC.

The Company anticipates being able to release results detail in approximately four weeks.

Lac Guéret South Property, Quebec

Lac Guéret South is located in Cote Nord, Quebec, a three-hour drive from Baie-Comeau in an area of very

good infrastructure. The Project directly borders Mason Graphite’s (TSX -LLG) advanced Lac Guéret

Project to the South. Mason owns one of the largest high- grade graphite deposits in the world, and is

planning on building a new graphite mine and processing plant.

Lac Guéret South’s Zone 1

The Project arises from two distinct electromagnetic conductors that occur over a two kilometer length and

up to 600 meters in width as defined by airborne EM geophysics (see the Berkwood news release dated

February 10, 2015). The western part of this zone was further defined by ground VLF and EM surveys:

four VLF and 22 contiguous PhiSpy EM conductors have been detected over an apparent 800 meters length

and up to a 300 meters width. This western area was interpreted as a potential bulk graphite zone

interlayered within the hinge of a complex fold system. Based upon the geophysics, drilling confirmed the

presence of high interest graphite. Since discovery four separate drill programs have been executed on the

western extent of Berkwood’s Zone 1 Graphite Body for a total of 45 diamond drillholes and 6,232.49

metres (and 77 metres of trenches with 1,194 samples and 28 samples from trenches) completed. This work

lead to the recent completion and filing of a pit-constrained resource comprising 1.76 million tonnes of

17% Cg (Carbon as graphite) as an indicated resource and 1.53 million tonnes of inferred resource at 16.4%

Cg (refer NR of June 19th, 2019).

About the Company: Berkwood is engaged in exploration for the commodities that enable the modern

revolution in essential technologies. These technologies are dependent upon the ethical mining and supply

of naturally occurring elements and minerals that enhance the performance of energy storage systems and

permit the development and miniaturization of new electronics and structural components for the new suite

of innovative tools. The Company is led by a team with collectively over 100 years experience and whose

members have been involved with the discovery of several producing mines.
