NEWS RELEASE

CREST RESOURCES INC. ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF SPLIT DOME COPPER PROJECT NEAR

HAZELTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA AND REVIEWS RED METAL RIDGE EXPLORATION STRATEGY

Vancouver, B.C. – September 9, 2019 ‐ Crest Resources Inc. (CSE: CRES) (the “Company”) is pleased to

announce that it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire up to

100% interest, subject only to a 0.25% net smelter return royalty, in the Split Dome copper project (the

“Property”) located near Hazelton, British Columbia. The Company may earn an initial 75% interest in the

Property by paying $10,600 cash and issuing 1,500,000 common shares (the “Consideration Shares”)

within ten business days of executing the Agreement. The Company may earn a further 25% interest to

bring its ownership interest in the Property to 100% by issuing a further 500,000 common shares on or

before January 2, 2020.

Split Dome Copper Project

The Split Dome copper project consists of four claim groups totalling 319 claims for 5,840 hectares located

55 km north-east of Hazelton, British Columbia on the west side of the Babine Valley. The project can be

accessed by active forestry roads on the northern and southern sides of the claim group, which in turn are

accessed two turnoffs north and south of Smithers on Highway 16. Lodges and camp areas are found to

the south-south east in the Fort Babine area.

The project target is a dome feature which is bifurcated by two north -south magnetic lows and has the

overall magnetic signature that is indicative of an intrusive host rock but has been mapped as a

sedimentary rock with a small window of intrusive rocks mapped on the north side of the magnetic

signature. The regional stream sampling downstream of the Sp lit Dome claims indicate second -order

copper in silt anomalies and only one sample has been taken in the target area.

Structurally, the Spit Dome Target lays on the South west side of a Northwest - Southeast regional scale

strike slip fault that locally follows the Babine river. The Split dome target is nestled in a dilational jog in

the fault geometry. This dilational jog gives room for a significant sized granitic intrusive body to rise and

become emplaced in the near surface. Continued activity in the dilational jog in the fault allows for the

long term structural development and the open space s required for copper mineralization. The Lone

Mountain/Mount Horetzky copper showing is located to the north west on the opposite side of the

regional fault structure and demonstrates the pregnant nature of the intrusive system. Split Dome has

the signature of a large intrusive body and has the potential to host a significant copper resource.

The Company is planning an initial exploration program for the property with additional details to follow.

Michael Collins, P.Geo and Director of Crest, and one of the vendors of the project, is the Qualified Person

for Crest Resources Inc. and approves the technical content of this news release.

Two of the vendors of the Split Dome copper project are directors of the Company. Pursuant to the

Agreement, Michael Collins, director, will receive $10,600 cash, 500,000 Consideration Shares, and retain

a 0.25% net smelter returns royalty on the Property, and Owen C. King, director, Chairman, President and

CEO, will receive 500,000 Consideration Shares as payment. The above transactions constitute “related

2

party transactions” for the purpose s of Multilateral Instrument 61 -101, Protection of Minority Security

Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61 -101”). The Company is relying upon exemptions from the

requirement to obtain a formal valuation and seek minority shareholder approval for the Acquisition on
