New Age Metals Recommences Drilling and Environmental Studies at River

Valley Palladium Project Near Sudbury

• The River Valley Project is one of North America’s largest undeveloped primary

Palladium projects. The Project has excellent infrastructure and is within 100 k m of

the Sudbury Metallurgical Complex. The Project is 100% owned by New Age Metals

• The Company contracted Jacobs & Samuel Drilling Ltd of Val Caron, Ontario

to conduct a Phase 2, 750 metre drill program at the River Valley Project and

drilling has begun

• July 23, 2020 palladium spot price is US$2,095/oz. As such the basket-price of the

payable metal suite at River Valley , which includes palladium, platinum, gold,

copper, nickel, and cobalt is priced significantly higher than the pricing used in

the 2019 Preliminary Economic Assessment

P7J.F) Harry Barr, Chairman & CEO, stated ; “New Age Metals is pleased to announce that the

company commenced the next phase of drilling at the River Valley Palladium deposit near

Sudbury, Ontario. The company plans to drill about 750 m of core in three holes to test high-

priority targets adjacent to the Pine Zone and Dana North Zone of the River Valley deposit. This

drill program is the second phase of our 2020 exploration and development program, and will run

through August.”

The objectives of the Phase 2 drill program are threefold: 1) in-fill a gap in the previous

drilling of the T3 target; 2) expand the T3 target along strike and southwards, and 3) test an

undrilled IP chargeability high along 300 metres along strike from the Pine Zone . The T3

target is located downdip/down-plunge of the Pine Zone , in the footwall to the Dana North

Zone. Additional information can be found in the various press releases on the New Age Metals

rounds of surface water samples in low- and high-flow conditions, conducting flow measurements

at two local sites, and conducting a fish community and habitat survey. The baseline program data

collection may continue into Q4 2020, depending on progress and field conditions.

Archaeological Assessment within the River Valley Palladium Project area.
