FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YORBEAU ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF MacKENZIE WATSON ON STRATEGIC
ADVISORY BOARD
Montreal, February 5, 2019 – Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB) (" Yorbeau" or the " Company") is
pleased to announce that it has created a strategic advisory board (the " Advisory Board") mandated with
the task of advising the Company's board of dir ectors and management with respect to Yorbeau's
corporate and operational strategy and matters related thereto.
Yorbeau is excited to report that the Advisory Board's initial member will be Mr. Mackenzie (Mac)
Watson. Additional indivi duals may be added to the Advisory Board from time to time based on the
Company’s evolving needs.
Mr. Watson, B.Sc., P.Eng., has over 50 years of experi ence in exploration, development, and operations
in the mining industry. Mr. Watson has spent his career in the junior mining sector, notably served as
Chief Executive Officer of Lynx Canada Exploratio n Ltd. until 1985 and as Chief Executive Officer of
Freewest Resources Canada Inc. from 1985 until its acquisition by Cliffs Natural Resources in 2010.
Among his many achievements, Mr. Watson was awarded Canada’s Prospector of the Year Award in
1991 for his contribution to the discovery of the Hark er Holloway gold mine (Ontario), the Icon-Sullivan
copper mine (Quebec), the Long Lake zinc mine (O ntario), the Ellison gold deposit (Quebec) and the
Hebecourt copper deposit (Quebec); and again in 2010 fo r his contributions to the mineral discoveries in
the Ring of Fire area in Northern Ontario. Mr. Wats on is also the first person to have received the Bill
Dennis Award for a Canadian Discovery or Prosp ecting Success twice: a first time in 1991 for numerous
discoveries; and again in 2009 as part of the team res ponsible for chromite discoveries in the Ring of Fire.
He was also awarded the Quebec Prospector of the Year Award in 1992 for his participation in the
discovery of the Pusticamica and Verneuil gold de posits in Quebec. In January 2015, Mr. Watson was
inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame.
Mr. Watson’s illustrious career as an explorer is particularly relevant for Yorbeau’s business plan, having
discovered the so-called “Icon showing” in 1965, which is the main polymetallic mineralized showing on
Yorbeau’s newest KB project in the Chibougamau belt. Mr. Watson's advice will serve to strengthen
Yorbeau’s mission to develop its assets, and in par ticular its base metal projects in the Chibougamau
camp.
Gérald Riverin, President of Yorbeau, stated: “Yor beau is looking forward to collaborating with Mac
Watson and eagerly anticipates being able to benef it from his extensive experience and expertise in
mineral exploration. We hope that the newly formed Advisory Board will prove useful in supporting the
Company's efforts to execute on its strategic objectives.”
