About Crestview Exploration Inc:

Crestview Exploration is an experienced exploration company focused on the exploration and development

of its portfolio of gold and silver properties located in prolific mining districts of Nevada.

Rock Creek gold project is Crestview's flagship asset, with 74 unpatented lode mining claims wholly owned

and controlled by CRS. The Rock Creek property was acquired in 2017, and the company went public in

2019. Emboldened by the results coming out of Rock Creek, Crestview strategically expanded on the land

position with the acquisition of the nearby Divide Mine prospect in April 2020, and the acquisition of the

Falcon silver -gold prospect in September 2022. Between the three properties, all targeting simil ar

mineralization and likely the same hydrothermal system, Crestview now holds 260 total claims in close

proximity of one another. These three gold prospects, along with the nearby Castile prospect, are situated

in a region with proven "world class" gold deposits (including Midas, Jerritt Canyon, Betze-Post, Meikle,

and Gold Quarry), where the potential of finding large, high-grade gold-silver deposits is favourable.

The Cimarron project is located in the San Antonio Mountains of Nye County, Nevada, and is comprised

of 31 unpatented lode mining claims, including control of 6 historically producing claims associated with

the historic San Antonio mine. The property is located in the prolific Walker-Lane trend, approximately 44

kms south of the "world class" Round Mountain deposit.
