Inventus Mining Engages STEINERT and WSP

TORONTO, ONTARIO (Jan 18, 2018) - Inventus Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IVS) (“Inventus” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged STEINERT and WSP to help advance the Pardo project

to the next phase of development.

“On the heels of a very positive result from our recently completed 1,000 tonne bulk sample at

Pardo, we are moving ahead with engineering studies to build on our technical knowledge and

test real-world mining equipment in preparation for the next phase of development, which will

involve larger scale trial mining,” said Stefan Spears, Chairman and CEO.

STEINERT is a global leader in sorting and separation solutions for the mining industry. The firm has over 125

years of experience, and excels at providing customers with technologically advanced sorting solutions.

STEINERT will be evaluating the performance of their state -of-the-art multi-sensor ore sorting machine on

material from the Pardo project. The demonstration machine used for testing is located in Kentucky, but similar

units may soon be accessible much closer to the project in Sudbury and Timmins. www.steinertglobal.com

mining companies comprehensive solutions at every stage of a mining project development or implementation.
