Teako Minerals Corp. Acquires Interest in Norwegian Vaddas and Birtavarre
Projects from Capella Minerals, Allowing All-Year Round Operations
VANCOUVER, B.C. – July 18, 2023, TEAKO MINERALS CORP. ( CSE: TMIN ) (the
"Company" or "Teako") is delighted to announce a strategic partnership with Capella Minerals
Limited (TSXV: CMIL)("Capella") and has entered into an agreement dated July 12, 2023 (the
“Agreement”) to acquire a 50% interest in each of the Vaddas and Birtavarre projects located in
northern Norway ( together the " Projects") with the option to acquire a 100% interest in the
Projects. The Projects being acquired embark on Teako's mission to expand their operations into
Scandinavia in search of and to secure access to critical metals like Copper and Cobalt; metals that
are imperative for the green and digital transition. Capella is an arms’ length party to Teako.
The Projects held by Capella Minerals:
• Two separate Copper -Cobalt (High-grade Cu-Co-rich VMS deposits) projects "Vaddas"
and "Birtavarre" that form the Vaddas-Birtavarre district – a past-producing Cu-Co-rich
massive sulfide district in northern Norway.
The terms of the Agreement:
• Teako will acquire a 50% interest in the Projects upon the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of
the Company to Capella, with the option to acquire a 100% interest by:
• Investing CAD$100,000 in exploration expenditures into the Projects within the first year;
and
• Issuing an additional 250,000 shares in both the first and second year to Capella.
All shares issued to Capella will be subject to a four -month and one-day hold, and are subject to
the Company’s filing requirements with the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) and approval
of the CSE, as may be required under CSE Policy 6.
Concurrent with the Agreement, Teako and Capella will enter into a strategic partnership regarding
effective communication and collaboration within the Scandinavian region. Teako and Capella
will also be committing to exploring new opportunities, testing new exploration technologies, and
supporting each other in the field whenever possible.
Teako Maximizes Exploration Opportunities with Year-Round Operations
Teako is embracing a strategic operational model that takes full advantage of the varying
exploration seasons across the different geographical regions. With a portfolio of exploration

projects spanning British Columbia and Norway, Teako's unique approach enables the Company
to conduct exploration and drilling activities throughout the year.
Teako's projects in British Columbia typically enjoy their prime exploration season during the
warmer summer months. As the season wraps up in BC, exploration activities in Norway are
kicking into high gear, benefitting from a slightly later exploration season.
This innovative strategy allows Teako to maximize its exploration and drilling operations, ensuring
a continuous workflow that keeps the momentum going all year round. By aligning its operations
with the natural exploration seasons in these diverse locations, Teako can maintain a steady pace
of activity, enabling it to potentially expedite the discovery and development of valuable mineral
resources.
With newly appointed Country Managers (see news release dated June 14, 2023) and a diversified
team, Teako boasts a modern company structure and stands in good stead to operate in different
jurisdictions. Teako's country managers are based in British Columbia, Norway, and Finland –
allowing Teako to advance the Company's affairs in a continuous manner, ensuring operations
across different time zones and jurisdictions are conducted efficiently.
Teako is also planning to uti lize the Norwegian project portfolio as a test hub for its technology
partners.
About the Vaddas-Birtavarre Copper-Cobalt project in Norway
The Vaddas-Birtavarre copper-cobalt project is situated in the past- producing Vaddas-Birtavarre
copper-cobalt and zinc volcanic massive sulfide ("VMS") district of northern Norway and includes
two main prospects: Vaddas and Birtavarre. The Vaddas -Birtavarre district is located in the
Finnmark og Troms Province, approximately 60km east of the regional centre of Tromsø.
There are three (3) claims that make up the Birtavaare claims representing 30 square kilometres
("sq. km"), and a further thirteen (13) claims that make up the Va ddas claims representing 90.69
sq km. These sixteen (16) exploration claims are all 100% owned by Capella and are not subject
to any underlying exploration agreements or royalties. The property has great access through all -
weather paved highways and gravel roads.
The Vaddas-Birtavarre district represents, in both companies' views, one of the highest potentials
for new copper-cobalt discoveries in Norway.
The Vaddas -Birtavarre district contains a number of known Caledonian -age semi -massive to
massive sulfide deposits which are hosted within different stratigraphic levels: a lowermost
greenstone unit (locally pillow basalts) hosts copper -cobalt mineralization at Vaddas, whilst an
overlying metasedimentary sequence hosts copper-cobalt mineralization at Birtavarre.

Figure 1. The exploration claims in the Vaddas-Birtavarre district.
The first reported discovery of copper mineralization at Vaddas was in the 1890's (and at Birtavarre
in the 1860's) with only limited exploration and small-scale mining having been undertaken since
the time of discovery. No systematic exploration is reported to have been undertaken in the area
since the 1970's. See Capella's website for more information.
