NEWS RELEASE

Iconic Schedules Deep Drill Hole at Bonnie Claire Project, Nevada

(May 8 , 2018) – Iconic Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ICM) (OTC: BVTEF) (FSE: YQGB) has

signed a contract to drill a deep drill hole at the Bonnie Claire Project, located in southern Nevada.

This hole will be the third deep hole and allow the Com pany to do a resource analysis of the

sediment hosted lithium discovered in 2016. Drilling will commence on May 15th, 2018.

A contract has been signed with Harris Exploration Drilling of San Diego, California. Using a

mud-rotary rig the hole will be dril led vertically 610 meters (2,000 feet) if conditions allow. It

will test the grade and thickness of lithium bearing sediments and also sample brines intersected

by the drill hole. Sediment samples will be analyzed by ALS Chemex of Reno, Nevada. Brine

samples will be analyzed by Western Environmental Testing Laboratory of Reno. Bul k sediment

samples will also be collected and shipped to St -Georges Eco -Mining Corp . of Montreal for

further metallurgical testing. Matt Vitale of South Lake Tahoe, California wil l be the consulting

hydrologist for the drilling.

The Bonnie Claire Lithium Property Characteristics:

The Property is located within Sarcobatus Valley that is approximately 30 km (19 miles) long and

20 km (12 miles) wide, the associated drainage basin c overs an area of 57 square km (22 sq mi).

Quartz-rich volcanic rocks, that contain anomalous amounts of lithium, occur within and adjacent

to the drainage basin. Geochemical analysis of the local salt flats has yielded lithium values up to

340 ppm. The gravity low within the valley is 20 km (12 miles) long, the current estimates of the

depth to bedrock range from 600 to 900 meters (2,000 to 3,000 feet). The current claim block

covers the brine bearing potion of the gravity low as defined by geophysics.
