Vancouver, B.C. – September 28, 2021 – Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSX-V: SMD) (“Strategic”) reports that

on September 27, 2021, CAVU Mining Corp. (“CAVU”) announced excellent drill results from a new

area of skarn mineralization at the Hopper copper -gold-silver project, located in southwestern Yukon.

CAVU holds the Hopper project under option and can acquire a 70% interest in the project by incurring

$5 million in ex ploration expenditures, paying Strategic $700,000 in cash, and issuing Strategic 500,000

CAVU shares, by March 31, 2025.

discoveries within this large skarn/porphyry complex” states Doug Eaton, CEO of Strategic. “CAVU’s

discovery spotlights the copper potential of southwestern Yukon, an area which hosts several mines,

former mines and undeveloped copper deposits. Strategic owns a number of other promising copper-gold
