NEWS RELEASE

PHASE I DRILL PROGRAM NEARS COMPLETION AT THE DUVAY-CHENIER GOLD

PROJECT, QUEBEC

Vancouver, B.C. – September 2 6, 2017 - Tres-Or Resources Ltd. (“Tres -Or”) (TSX -V: TRS ,

OTCPK: TRSFF) and Secova Metals Corp. (“Secova”) (TSX -V: SEK, Frankfurt: N4UN, USA:

SEKZF) are pleased to announce that the ongoing Phase I drill program at the Duvay -Chenier

Property has completed 18 holes totaling more than 2 ,800 m etres in length since its inception in

August and nears Phase I completion . The Duvay-Chenier Property covers almost 8.000 hectares in

the heart of Québec’s gold country, extending 7 to 25 kms northeast of Amos, Qu ébec, and 65 kms

north of Val d’Or. Access to the site is by paved highway from Amos, and power lines extend onto

the Property. Several large operating mines occur in the region, including the Canadian Malartic Mine

and the LaRonde Mine (Agnico Eagle’s flagship mine) which are located about 60 km s outh of the

Duvay drill program.

The Phase I drill program has focused on three targets: 1) the no rtheast shear zone/strong induced

polarization (IP) chargeability target; 2) the Duvay Zone Principal, and 3) coincident

magnetic/electromagnetic (EM) and structural targets 2.5 kms northwest of the Zone Principal, near

Lake Obalski.

First (1) Drill Targets: NE shear zone/Strong IP anomaly

The program began with 5 holes testing the NE shear zone/strong IP chargeability target. This target

is locate d approximately 400 m NE of the Duvay Zone Principal, in an area of relative sparse

historical work. The new drill tests of the NE shear zone have intersected encouraging thick deformed

quartz veins (up to 5.4 m in the first hole, although true thickness remains unknown) and local semi -

massive to massive sulfides. The most encouraging intersections have been sampled and shipped to

the laboratory Techni -Lab (“Techni-Labs” Abitibi Inc. (ISO/IEC 17025 (CCN Lab 707), MDDEP, a

division of Actlabs based in Ancaster, Ontario) with the first results anticipated for the last week of

September.

Second (2) Drill Targets: Duvay Zone Principal

The drill moved next to test the Zone Principal, where historical work extending back to the 1930s

includes an old exploration shaft, underground galleries, numerous drill holes, and multiple bulk

samples up to 1100 tonnes a piece. Historical drill results include highly enriched intervals, such as

samples up to 403 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 0.36 m, 76.8 g/t over 0.46 m (as reported in 1945 a

Québec government mineral showing report GM08214), as well as more recent results of 34.6 g/t over

0.43 m; 12.01 g/t over 1.53 m; 27.17 g/t over 1.14 m; and 16.598 g/t over 1.76 m) in Quebec

assessment report GM47594 (1989) and up to 83.2 g/t Au over 1.0 m in Tres-Or drilling from 2011.

Bulk samples from the Zone principal also reported i ntriguing results historically, including 3300

tonnes in 1986 returning a weighted average concentration of 5.67 g/t Au (as reported in Qu ébec

assessment work report # GM47569). The current drill tests of the Zone Principal are designed to test

northeast trending faults extending from the main Duvay shear. Samples from each of these 8 drill

holes have been submitted to Techni-Lab.

Third (3) Drill Targets: Coincident mag/EM anomalies near Lake Obalski

After completion of the NE faults test at Duvay the rill moved to test multiple coincident magnetic/EM

targets near Lake Obalski, 2.5 kms west -northwest of the Zone Principal. These tests are being

completed now. The drill will then move back to the Zone Principal to complete the program.

Tres-Or and Secova are very encouraged by the program to date, and look forward to the next stage of

advancing the project which will focus on large diameter drilling and bulk sampling at the Zone

Principal to confirm the encouraging historical bulk sample results.

Tres-Or has optioned the Duvay -Chenier Property to Secova to earn a 65% interest by completing

exploration expenditures of $3.25 million by December 31 st, 2018. Tres-Or is the Operator and

provides logistical, technical and geologic services and reporting.
