Treasury Metals and Platinex Inc. Complete

Consolidation of Mining Properties in Shining

Tree District, Ontario

TSX: TML

OTCQX: TSRMF

TORONTO

July 16, 2020

/CNW/ -

Treasury Metals Inc.

(TSX: TML) ("Treasury" or the

"Company") and Platinex Inc. are pleased to announce that pursuant to the terms of the mining

investment agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated

July 15, 2020

between Treasury, and

Treasury's wholly-owned subsidiary Goldeye Explorations Limited, and Platinex Inc., the Company

has sold to Platinex an aggregate of 208 unpatented mining claims located in the Shining Tree

District,

Northern Ontario

(the "Mining Claims") and three net smelter royalties (the "Royalties").

The Mining Claims total approximately 5,045 Ha. (12,466 ac.) and are located adjacent to Platinex's

Shining Tree property. With this acquisition, Platinex has created the largest combined gold focused

property package in the Shining Tree District,

Northern Ontario

. The Shining Tree property is located

on 21 kilometres of the Tyrrell-Ridout Deformation Zone which also hosts both IAMGOLD's Côté

Lake gold deposit and

Caldas Gold's

Juby deposit.

In consideration for acquiring the Mining Claims and the Royalties (the "Acquisition"), Platinex issued

to Treasury 12,500,000 common shares ("Consideration Shares") of Platinex and 5,000,000 non-

transferable common share purchase warrants ("Consideration Warrants") of Platinex. Each

Consideration Warrant entitles Treasury to purchase one common share of Platinex at a price of

$0.05

per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issue. If Treasury exercises the

Consideration Warrants on or before

September 1, 2020

, it will receive an additional non-

transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Secondary Warrant") for each Consideration

Warrant exercised. Each Secondary Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of

Platinex at a price of

$0.20

per share for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of the

Acquisition. The Secondary Warrants provide that Treasury shall not exercise the Secondary

Warrants if such exercise would result in it owning 20% or more of the issued and outstanding

common shares of Platinex.

Mr. Greg Ferron, Treasury Metals Inc.'s CEO, stated that, "The consolidation of the two Shining

Tree properties provides multiple benefits to both parties and gives Treasury's shareholders a

toehold equity position in another exciting gold district in

Ontario

. We look forward to the exploration

results and the significant wealth of knowledge Jim and his team have of this highly prospective

exploration camp. The recent acquisition of the neighboring Juby gold deposit by

Caldas Gold

demonstrates the increased activity in the district."

Mr.

James R. Trusler

, Chairman of Platinex, stated, "The supportive relationship with Treasury

Metals brings an extended marketing presence to advancing the Shining Tree property expeditiously.

We look forward to being able to have access to more exploration funding to back exploration of the

recently recognized 21 km portion of the Ridout Tyrrell Deformation Zone and other high potential

prospects on the property."

The parties have agreed that the Consideration Shares will be placed in a voluntary escrow

agreement, with 25% (3,125,000 Consideration Shares) to be released on the 12th, 15th, 18th and

24th month anniversaries of the closing of the Acquisition. Treasury has agreed to support and vote

for the recommendations of Platinex management at all shareholder meetings of Platinex held the

time that the Consideration Shares are held in escrow.

The Royalties consist of a 100% interest in three royalty agreements, consisting of (i) a 2% net

smelter royalty in respect of the Sonia-Puma Property held by Minera Goldeye Chile Limitada; (ii) a

1% net smelter royalty in respect of nine mineral claims forming part of the McFaulds Lake Project

held by AurCrest Resources Inc.; and (iii) a 2% net smelter royalty in respect of 29 mineral claims

located in MacMurchy Township,

Ontario

held by Golden Harp Resources Inc.

The Purchase Agreement also provides Treasury with the right to appoint one nominee to the board

of directors of Platinex.
