PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YORBEAU 2019 DRILLING PROGRAM OUTLINES NEW HIGH PRIORITY TARGETS AT KB
PROJECT IN CHIBOUGAMAU, QUEBEC CAMP.
Highlights
• Yorbeau confirms historical grade and thickness of I con showing with: 1.4 metres of 0.9%
copper, 10.5% zinc, 0.1 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver.
• Borehole geophysics modeling shows a strongly conductive plate located along KB horizon
at 200m depth East of the Icon showing (target #1).
• Discovery of a new prospective horizon (KB south horizon) where an off-hole geophysical
conductor has been modelized (target #2).
• New geological interpretation suggests that the KB horizon is shifted to the North and has
not been tested on the eastern part of the property, where untested VTEM anomalies are
located (target #3).
Montreal, February 27, 2020 – Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB) (" Yorbeau" or the " Company") is
pleased to announce results of 2019 diamond drilling and borehole geophysics program that deliver new
high priority targets at its KB project in the Chibougamau area of Quebec.
The KB project is highly prospective for zinc and copper due to the presence of a historic high grade
prospect associated with a massive sulphide stratigraphic horizon hosted within mafic and felsic volcanics.
The property appears to have a geological sett ing similar to that found at the past producing high grade
Lemoine mine and at Yorbeau’s Scott project, including high grade VMS-style mineralization, presence of
felsic tuffs, and potential for high synvolcanic heat flow resulting from the proximity of the Lac Doré
(synvolcanic) Complex (Figure 1).
During November 2019, eight (8) diamond drilling holes were drilled for a total of 1475m. The objective was
to test strong VTEM geophysical anomalies located along the interpreted KB horizon in which the Icon
showing is located.
The 2019 drilling data compilation led to a better understanding of stratigraphy and particularly the location
of the KB prospective horizon. New geological interpretation indicates the presence of a NNE trending fault.
This fault shifts the overall stratigraphy by approximately 230m to the North-East and consequently, the KB
horizon has not been tested East of this fault where VTEM anomalies are located (Figure 2).
Target #1
Hole KB-02 was drilled 25m below the Icon showing to better understand the geometry, stratigraphy and
confirms historical grades obtained by Icon Sullivan in 1967. KB -02 intersected 1.4m of massive sulfides
grading 0.9% Cu, 10. 5% Zn, 0. 1 g/t Au and 34 g/t Ag. Borehole geophysics modeling shows a 150m by
300m strongly conductive plate located along the KB horizon at a 200m depth East of the Icon showing
(Figure 3).

Target #2
Hole KB-05 intercepted another prospective horizon located 100m south of KB horizon, returning 2.8% Cu,
1.3% Zn, 0.3 g/t Au and 30 g/t Ag over 0. 2 m. This new horizon, called KB south, corresponds to a semi -
massive sulfides zone hosted by an intermediate bedded tuff. Mineralization is open to the east where a
borehole geophysical plate has been modelized.
Target #3
This target corresponds to the eastern part of the KB horizon that has been shifted by the fault and where
several untested VTEM anomalies are located.
Significant assay results are shown below:
G. Bodnar Jr., President of the Company, commented: “We are very pleased with the first drilling program
on KB that outlined some exciting new targets at relatively shallow depth. These new targets are high
priorities and drilling is anticipated to begin in May 2020.”
Quality control
All drill cores discussed in this press release were logged and marked up for assay at the Company’s secure
facility in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drill cores selected for assay were split in half. Half of each core was
shipped in sample bags to Techni-Lab S.G.B. Abitibi Inc. (ACTLABS) of Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Quebec, with
appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates used for quality control purposes. The other half of each
core was retained for future reference.
Work is carried out by the personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Sylvain Lépine, M.Sc, P.Geo. He
is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has reviewed and approved the content
of this release.
About Yorbeau Resources Inc.
Yorbeau Resources is a diversified mining exploration company with an enviable portfolio of exploration
properties in Quebec. The exploration projects comprise both gold and base metal projects, and the
strategic focus of the Company is on projects located in areas easily accessible and with infrastructure. The
wholly-owned Rouyn Property is the Company’s main gold asset and contains four known gold deposits in
the 6 km long Augmitto- Astoria corridor situated on the western portion of the property. The Company
signed a definitive agreement in December 2018, whereby IAMGOLD has the option to acquire a 100%
interest in the Rouyn property, where very encouraging dril ling results were obtained in 2019. The base
metal assets include the Scott Project, which bears import ant mineral resources (see the press release
dated March 30, 2017) and on which a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment was recently completed.
