STRATEGIC METALS’ PARTNER BENJAMIN HILL MINING INTERCEPTS 211.65 METRES OF 0.46
GRAMS/TONNE GOLD IN MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM AT THE ALOTTA GOLD-COPPER-
MOLYBDENUM PROJECT, YUKON
February 29, 20 24 – Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSX -V: SMD) (“Strategic”) is pleased to announce that it s par tner
Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (“Benjamin Hill”) successfully intersected extensive porphyry style mineralization in its
inaugural diamond drill program at the Alotta gold-copper-molybdenum project in the west-central Yukon (Table 1).
Benjamin Hill has the optional right to earn up to a 60% interest in the Alotta project by incurring aggregate exploration
expenditures of $11 million by the end of 2027 and and making aggregate cash payments to Strategic of $500,000 by
January 17, 2028.

*Posted intervals are core lengths, the orientation of mineralization is not known at this time.
Holes ALT-23-01 and ALT-23-02 tested the south-central portion of an induced polarization, chargeability high with
coincident copper and gold in soil anomalies. The drill program is expected to recommence in May 2024 and will
focus on three areas of coincident copper, molybdenum and gold in soil geochemical anomalies that indicate potential
centers of porphyry mineralization.
“Strategic Metals is very pleased with the exceptional gold results from this maiden drill program. The soil
geochemical anomaly at Alotta is huge and offers excellent potential for discovery of more copper and molybdenum
rich areas elsewhere on the property,” states Doug Eaton, CEO and President of Strategic Metals. “We look forward
to working closely with the team at Benjamin Hill to follow up on this initial success.”
Both holes exhibited multiple intrusive phases including intrusive breccias displaying strong biotite alteration,
carbonate veining and pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization as interstitial clots and stringers.
Table 2 provides the collar coordinates, orientation, and final depth for both holes.
