NEWS RELEASE

TRES-OR AND SECOVA ANNOUNCE DRILL RESULTS FROM NORTHERN SHEAR

ZONE AT THE DUVAY-CHENIER GOLD PROJECT, QUEBEC

Vancouver, B.C. – December 1 3, 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 gold assay results from the Northern shear zone at the Duvay -

Chenier Gold Project (the “Property”), located 15 km northeast of Amos, Quebec.

Currently, Secova is exploring the Duvay-Chenier Property under an option agreement with Tres-

Or to earn a 65% interest by completing expenditures of $3.25 million by December 31 st, 2018.

Tres-Or is the Operator providing logistical, technical, and geologic services as well as reporting.

“We are very pleased with the gold assay results from the Northern shear zone as they suggest that

mineralization extends 300 to 400 m north of the Main Duvay shear zone and Zone Principal where

most of the historic work and high gold values are located ,” said Laura Lee Duffett, T res-Or’s

President.

The most significant results from the Northern shear zone were obtained in hole DUV17-01, which

intersected 5.4 m of gold-bearing deformed quartz vein material as well as zones of substantial

concentrations of sulfides and black schist (Table 1). Hole DUV17-05, drilled from the same drill

set-up as DUV17-01, intersected a correlative 4.5 m zone of deformed quartz vein, black schist and

minor sulfides (Figure 1). Determination of the true thickness and three-dimensional orientation of

the deformed quartz zone will require more drilling.

Au g/t interval (m) From (m) To (m)

DUV17-01 0.66 /10.0 m from 18.00 28.00 N Shear zone deformed quartz vein

Including: 2.55 /2.00 m 21.00 23.00

DUV17-05 0.97 /5.0 m from 37.00 42.00 N Shear zone deformed quartz vein

Including: 4.53 /1.00 m 40.00 41.00

A second style of gold mineralization was intersected in the Northern shear zone by drill hole

DUV17-03, 450 meters to the west of DUV17-01 (Fig. 1). DUV17-03 intersected locally sulfide -

rich pods between 30 and 65 m depth, which returned up to 0.42 g/t Au over 3.0 meters from 43.50

to 46.50 m depth (Table 2).

DUV17-03 0.42 /3.0 m from 43.50 46.50 N Shear zone sulfide rich zone

The Northern shear sulfide zone intercepted by hole DUV17-03 was identified as a resistivity target

from an IP-resistivity ground geophysical survey (IPower3D) completed by contractor Ab itibi

Geophysics Inc. in 2016. The Company is encouraged that drillin g has confirmed gold

mineralization over long distances within Duvay’s Northern shear zone and aims to complete

additional drill testing to better define extents and continuity.

About the Duvay-Chenier Gold Project

Visible gold was discovered at Duvay in the late 1930’s. Gold mineralization is associated with

the northwest trending Duvay shear zone, a 3.3 km structure striking across the Duvay Gold

Project, and intersecti ng northeast faults. The intersection of these deformation trends are

potential points of enhanced gold mineralization. Historical gold results from the Duvay

occurrence returned samples up to 402 g/t over 0.36m, 76.8 g/t over 0.46m and 34.6 g/t over

0.46m. Drilling and test pitting by Tres -Or supports this potential, with the best analytical drill

results of 83.194 g/t gold (Au) over 1.0 m and 5.217 g/t Au over 1.0 m as well as 8 other intervals

between 0.42 g/t Au and 1.93 g/t Au, for intervals between 1 and 7 m. Small (10 tonne) bulk

samples were excavated and processed by Tres -Or in a test plant built at the Duvay site. The

richest pit test (DVP-002) yielded a grade of 0.77 g/t Au from 10 tonnes, with concentrate values

averaging 369.43 g/t Au (Tech nical 43-101 Report on the Duvay -Chenier Property for Secova

Metals Corp, July 1 2017).

2017 Drilling Program Sampling Protocols

The laboratory used is Techni -Lab Abitibi Inc. in Ste. Germaine de Boule, Quebec (ISO/IEC

17025; a division of Actlabs, Ancaste r, Ontario). A one half split of the core was sampled, and

the remainder stored for reference. At Techni-Lab, samples are analyzed for gold by traditional

fire assay with atomic absorption finish, with those samples returning >1 g/t gold repeated using a

50g aliquot and gravimetric finish. Selected samples are also analyzed for multi -elements

including silver, cobalt, copper and zinc by total digestion ICP at the Actlabs facility in Anacaster

Ontario. Techni-Lab holds a certificate of accreditation conf orming to ISO 17025:2005 for the

processes used in this analysis.
