iMetal Discovers High-Grade Gold and Copper With Assays up to 34.44 gm/t

Gold and 2.6% Copper

14 February 2018

iMetal Resources Inc. (IMR – tsxv) (“iMetal” or the “company”) is pleased to announce results from its

ongoing winter program at its Gowganda West property in Northern Ontario.

Assay Results

Significant new assays have been received from Zone-3A from a stockwork of chalcopyrite and pyrite

mineralized quartz veins and quartz stringers. Three samples were collected; assay results are reported

below:

Sample 5578B: 34.44 gm/t gold and 2.6% copper

Sample 5579: 1.91 gm/t gold and 0.47% copper

Sample 5580: 0.61 gm/t gold and 0.18% copper

The Company believes this data further substantiates the presence of high-grade gold with copper at

Zone-3

Ongoing Exploration

Continued exploration on Zone-3 includes outcrop chip and channel sampling in the area between

Zones-3A and 3B to identify additional gold and copper mineralization and to establish future IP and drill

targets. The distance between Zones-3A and 3B is 300 meters. Assay results will be released as soon as

they are obtained.

New Target / Zone-4 Cobalt

Two areas of altered and silicified outcrop marked by cobalt bloom have been discovered 4km east of

Zone-3. The first area of interest is a century old 20-metre-long trench initially discovered earlier in 2017

(see press release, November 22nd, 2017). Approximately 700 metres north of this trench is an outcrop

area characterized by multiple quartz veins and host rock with cobalt bloom. Channel and grab sampling

in these areas is ongoing and results will be released as they are received from the assay laboratory.

The winter exploration program is greatly assisted by logging-roads and bridges currently under

construction in the immediate area of iMetal’s gold, copper, and cobalt targets. Tom O’Connor, iMetal’s

exploration manager states, “Our exploration continues to move forward with the discovery of

additional high-grade gold and copper mineralized quartz veins. To date, prospecting and rock sampling

has delineated additional targets on the property and opened up new possibilities for expanding our

existing zones. We have progressed significantly in a short period of time and look forward to results

from our ongoing winter exploration program that we believe will provide us with additional zones for

drill testing.”
