INVENTUS MINING DRILLS 61.1 METRES OF 1.17 g/t AuEq AT COBALT HILL
TORONTO, ONTARIO (June 7, 2022) - Inventus Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IVS) (“Inventus” or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce assay results from drilling at the Cobalt Hill target and an exploration update from its 100%-
owned Pardo and Sudbury 2.0 Projects near Sudbury, Ontario.
Highlights
• Cobalt Hill drilling:
§ CH-22-06 intersected 87.38 m of 0.97 g/t gold equivalent AuEq1
including 28.77 m of 1.41 g/t AuEq
§ CH-22-13 intersected 61.05 m of 1.17 g/t AuEq
including 12.25 m of 2.21 g/t AuEq
• Surface exploration underway at the Dorland Prospect with grab samples up to 12,000 ppm
(1.2%) Co and 984 ppm Ni
• Completion of the Rathbun 3D IP survey with several anomalies identified
• Pardo bulk sample reconciliation progressing, grade estimation expected to be complete in Q3.
Cobalt Hill
At the Cobalt Hill gold-cobalt-nickel target, assays for holes CH-22-06, CH-22-08 and CH-22-13 are included in this
update and assays for five holes remain pending (see Table 1). The extent of the mineralization and areas of high-
grade gold in drilling are very encouraging. The mineralized system appears to have zonation of metals between
gold and cobalt/nickel. Results for the last five holes are expected in the coming weeks.
Figure 1 provides a plan map of the drill hole collars and traces. Figures 2 to 4 are sections of the drill holes reported
in this release.
Hole CH-22-06 was drilled to test the up-dip extent of sulphide breccia in hole CH-22-05A (111.45m of 1.35 g/t AuEq,
see press release April 11th, 2022) and intersected 87.38 m of 0.97 g/t AuEq, 0.44 g/t gold (Au), 382 ppm cobalt
(Co) and 152 ppm nickel (Ni).
The upper zone in CH-22-06 (previously released April 11th, 2022), intersected 37.1 m of 1.61 g/t AuEq, 1.26 g/t Au,
261 ppm Co and 78 ppm Ni; including 2.03 m of 7.44 g/t AuEq, 7.10 g/t Au, 241 ppm Co and 102 ppm Ni.
Hole CH-22-08 tested the eastern extent of sulphide breccia and returned lower gold values with higher more
consistent cobalt and nickel values. The hole intersected 34.19 m of 0.57 g/t AuEq, 0.1 g/t Au, 247 ppm Co and 352
ppm Ni; and 32.84 m of 0.71 g/t AuEq, 0.30 g/t Au, 272 ppm Co and 179 ppm Ni. The fluctuation of gold, cobalt and
nickel assays in the hole has indicated zonation of the mineralization useful for future exploration and delineation of
the mineralized body.
Hole CH-22-13 was drilled to test the northwest area of the sulphide breccia and intersected 61.05 m of 1.17 g/t
AuEq, 0.71 g/t Au, 288 ppm Co and 247 ppm Ni; including 21.25 m of 1.75 g/t AuEq, 1.31 g/t Au, 291 ppm Co and
185 ppm Ni; and including 12.25 m of 2.21 g/t AuEq, 1.79 g/t Au, 285 ppm Co, 170 ppm Ni. Core photos are provided
in Figure 5.

Notes: 1AuEq calculated using April 5th, 2022, spot price of $1920 USD per oz Au, $82.00 USD per kg for Co and $33.31 USD per kg for
Ni, and assuming metallurgical recovery of 90% for Co and Ni. Metallurgical characteristics are not yet known.
2Assay intervals were calculated using values of >0.1 g/t Au within <2.5-m interval.
Results are core lengths; true widths are not known.
Dorland Prospect
The Au-Co-Ni Dorland Prospect was acquired in late 2021 because of its similarities to Inventus’ Cobalt Hill target.
A suite of samples have been collected from the area with assays ranging from 1,040 to 12,000 ppm Co, 0.04 to
0.77 g/t Au and 205 to 984 ppm Ni.
Geological mapping and prospecting are currently underway, including trenching and channel sampling of the
mineralized occurrences (Figure 6). The extensive area of targeted alteration and sulphide breccia occurs over an
area approximately 1.2 km north-south by 0.3 km east-west and presents an attractive exploration target for
hydrothermal Au-Co-Ni mineralization.

Rathbun
In February, a 3D induced polarization (IP) survey was conducted over the Rathbun property. Survey results illustrate
a series of targets occurring down dip along the Rathbun structure. Inventus is currently planning a follow-up program
to investigate the anomalies.
Pardo
The 007 Zone bulk sampling program is advancing but has experienced delays reaching completion. The Pardo bulk
sample was processed in February using gravity and flotation methods producing two concentrates. The gravity
concentrate has been sold and is currently being processed by a smelter to produce refined gold. We have not yet
reached a commercial agreement to smelt and refine the flotation concentrate but expect that will occur in June. Final
reconciliation of the bulk sample will be possible shortly after shipping the flot ation concentrate to the smelter.
Inventus has learned from the current challenges and will be in a better position to conduct future bulk samples and
deliver results more quickly in future.

passing -10 mesh, with one 250 g subsample split and pulverized to 85% passing 200 mesh. One 50 g aliquot was
taken from the subsample for fire assay (FA) with an ICP-MS/ICP-OES/AAS finish. Multielement assays were done
by Sodium Peroxide Fusion with ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish. Samples over 10 g/t gold are subject to a 50 g aliquot FA
with gravimetric finish.
