Group Ten Metals Commences Drilling at the Stillwater West Project in Montana, USA
August 22, 2019 – Vancouver, BC - Group Ten Metals Inc. (TSX.V: PGE; US OTC: PGEZF; FSE: 5D32) (the “Company”
or “Group Ten”) announced today that it has commenced drilling at the Company’s flagship Stillwater West
platinum group element-nickel-copper (“PGE-Ni-Cu”) Project adjacent to Sibanye-Stillwater’s high-grade PGE mines
in the Stillwater Igneous Complex, Montana, USA.

Michael Rowley, President and CEO, commented, "We are pleased to confirm that we have commenced drilling at
the HGR target in the Iron Mountain area as the first of three priority target areas, as disclosed in our previous news
releases. We look forward to making further announcements regarding the 2019 exploration program in the near
future as we advance through the Iron Mountain, Camp Zone, and Chrome Mountain target areas to advance the
potential we see for ‘Platreef-style’ bulk tonnage PGE-Ni-Cu-Co deposits at the Stillwater West Project.”
About Stillwater West
The Stillwater West PGE-Ni-Cu Project positions Group Ten as the second largest landholder in the Stillwater
Complex, adjoining and adjacent to Sibanye-Stillwater’s world-leading Stillwater, East Boulder, and Blitz platinum
group elements (PGE) mines in south central Montana, USA. With more than 41 million ounces of past production
and current M&I resources, plus another 49 million ounces of Inferred resources1,2, the Stillwater Complex is

recognized as one of the top regions in the world for PGE-Ni-Cu mineralization, alongside the Bushveld Complex
and Great Dyke in southern Africa, which are similar layered intrusions. The J-M Reef, and other PGE-enriched
sulphide horizons in the Stillwater Complex, share many similarities with the highly prolific Merensky and UG2 Reefs
in the Bushveld Complex, while the lower part of the Stillwater Complex also shows the potential for much larger
scale disseminated and high-sulphide PGE-Ni-Cu type deposits, possibly similar to Platreef in the Bushveld
Complex3. Group Ten’s Stillwater West Project covers the lower part of the Stillwater Complex along with the Picket
Pin PGE Reef-type deposit in the upper portion, and includes extensive historic data, including soil and rock
geochemistry, geophysical surveys, geologic mapping, and historic drilling.

tonnes grading 17.0 g/t Pt+Pd containing 31.3 million ounces and 92.5 million tonnes grading 16.6 g/t containing 49.4 million ounces. Grade thickness
was determined by applying the reported minimum mining width of 2.0 meters to the M&I grade of 17 g/t Pt+Pd for an average grade-thickness of
approximately 34 gram-meter (g-m).
