TRUE GRIT ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NICOLAS BARR

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Vancouver, BC (April 12, 2018) True Grit Resources Lt d (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the

appointment of Mr. Nicholas R. Barr to the board of directors.

Mr. Barr, a geologist, has ove r 40 years of industry experience primarily in exploration fo r precious and base

metals, massive sulfides, uranium, industrial minerals and gold placers in Arizona, Nevada, California and

Idaho. His recent consulting included 18 months engage d in all phases of lithium-in-brine exploration in

Clayton Valley, Nevada. Mr. Barr earned his B.S. Geology at Southern Oregon State University (1978).

“Nick’s experience in drilling, target generation, and permitting and his background in lithium brine exploration

will be invaluable to True Grit” states Byron Coulthard.

True Grit has acquired a very strategic land position in the Safford Basin of Arizona. The Company looks to

refine drilling targets in the very near future to test the economic potential of the project based on historical

water well sampling by the US Geological Survey in th e 1980's and 90's documenting anomalous lithium, as

well as True Grit's recent encouraging results generated through the combination of MMI soil geochemistry

and resistivity data interpretation.

Mr. Alan Williams has resigned from the board effective immediately. The company thanks Al for all his work

and wishes him all the best going forward. Mr. Williams will be a consultant to help the company.
