PRESS RELEASE

F O R I M M E D I A T E R E L E A S E

YORBEAU ANNOUNCES BEGINNING OF DRILLING PROGRAM AT KB PROJECT IN

CHIBOUGAMAU CAMP, QUEBEC.

Montreal, July 14, 2020 – Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB) (" Yorbeau" or the "Company")

is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has resumed at its KB project in the Chibougamau

area of Quebec.

The KB project is highly prospective for zinc and copper due to t h e p r e s e n c e o f a h i s t o r i c

high-grade prospect associated with a massive sulphide stratigraphic horizon hosted within mafic

and felsic volcanics. The property appears to have a geological setting similar to that found at the

past producing Lemoine mine and at Yorbeau’s Scott project, inc luding high grade VMS-style

mineralization, presence of felsic tuffs and potential for high synvolcanic heat flow resulting from

the proximity of the Lac Doré Complex (Figure 1).

The current drilling program is a follow-up on a 2019 drilling data compilation that to led to a better

understanding of stratigraphy and particularly the location of the KB prospective horizon (see

news release dated February 27, 2020). One drill rig is current ly in operation and approximately

1,500 metres of drilling are planned to test three high priorit y targets (Figure 2) as described

below.

Target #1

In 2019, hole KB-02 was drilled 25 metres below the Icon showin g to better understand the

geometry, stratigraphy and confirms historical grades obtained by Icon Sullivan in 1967. KB-02

intersected 1.4 meters of massive sulfides grading 0.9% copper, 10.5% zinc, 0.1 g/t gold and 34

g/t silver. Borehole geophysics modeling shows a 150 metre by 3 00 metre strongly conductive

plate located along the KB horizon at a 200 metre depth east of the Icon showing (Figure 3).

Target #2

Hole KB-05 intercepted another prospective horizon located 100 metres south of KB horizon,

returning 2.8% copper, 1.3% zinc, 0.3 g/t gold and 30 g/t silver over 0.2 metres. 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 t hat has been shifted by a NNE

trending fault and where several untested VTEM anomalies are located.

Yorbeau has implemented rigorous safety protocols in order to p revent the spread of COVID-

19 which are in line with recommendations from the National ins titute of public health of Quebec

(INSPQ) and the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail

(CNESST).

About Yorbeau Resources Inc.

Yorbeau Resources is a diversified mining exploration company w ith an enviable portfolio of

exploration properties in Quebec. The exploration projects comp rise 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-Ast oria 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 drilling results were obtained in 2019 and 2020. Th e base metal assets include the

Scott Project, which bears important mineral resources (see the press release dated March 30,

2017) and on which a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment was recently completed.
