PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YORBEAU COMPLETED LAST DRILL HOLE AT SCOTT - GAP LENS STILL OPEN TO THE
EAST
15.3 metres of 7.2% zinc, 0.8% copper and 34.6 g/t silver
Montréal, February 7, 2017 - Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB.A) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is
pleased to report on recent diamond drilling results at its 100% owned Scott Lake project in Quebec.
Drill hole SC -88W intersected a 15.3 metre long interval of combined stringer (mostly) and massive
sulphides in the last hole of the drilling program to explore the Gap Lens. This hole was a 90 metre step
out to the east of hole SC-87W3 which had intersected over 20.6 metres of 5.9% zinc, 0.7% copper and
50.9 g/t silver (press release of November 23, 2016), and a 75 metre step out to the east of hole SC-87W2
which had intersected 46.3 metres of massive sulphides grading 9.7 % zinc (press release of October 20,
2016). The mineralized interval in SC-88W, as were all previous intercepts released by the Company on
the Gap Lens, are located outside of the mineral resources as currently estimated at the Scott project (see
attached Figure 1).
Assay results are shown below:

Hole SC -88W was a wedge -cut above original hole SC -88 which did not intersect mineralization and
ended in barren intrusive rocks of the Chibougamau Pluton at the expected position of the G ap Lens
horizon. However, hole SC-88 did intersect mineralization related to West Lens about 80 metres north of
the Gap Lens horizon.

As this is still preliminary drilling on the above mineralization, the exact shape and true width cannot be
determined with certainty and t he core lengths displayed in the above table s do not represent the true
thickness of the mineralization. However, at the depth of the mineralized zone in SC-88W, the dip of the
hole was at 29 degrees and the horizontal thickness of the Gap Lens mineralization therefore represents
13.4 metres. Hole SC-88W was a wedge-cut about 52 metres above hole SC-88 (see attached Figure 1).
Company president Gérald Riverin stated: “ We are pleased to have completed our 18 month drilling
program on the Gap Lens which represents an exciting new discovery, and happy to see that the very last
hole of the program still intersected over 15 metres of mineralization , showing that Gap Lens still
continues further east. The published assays were the last remaining ones to be received on the Gap Lens ,
and we expect now the on -going revised resource estimate to be released very shortly by Roscoe Postle
Associates.”
The Scott Lake property, 100% owned by Yorbeau , already hosts a number of polymetallic massive
sulphide lenses. A resource estimate on Scott Lake was commissioned by Cogitore Resources and
prepared by RPA in 2011. The RPA estimate showed combined inferred resources of 5.45 million tonnes
grading 1.2% copper, 4.6% zinc, 0.2 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver, using an NSR cut -off of $80 per tonne
(Technical Report prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates and filed by Cogitore Resources in 2011). A
revised estimate was commissioned by Yorbeau in 2016, and will be c ompleted and filed shortly with a
Technical Report.
All drill core discussed in this press release was logged and marked up for assay at the Company’s secure
facility in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drill core for assay was split in half. Half of the core was shipped in
sample bags with appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates used for quality control purposes. The
other half of the core is retained for future reference. Samples were shipped to Laboratoire ALS Chemex
of Val d’Or.
Work is carried out by the personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Gérald Riverin, PhD, P. Geo.
He is a qualified person (as defined by NI 43-101) and has reviewed and approved the content of this
release.

Agreement with an affiliate of Kinross Gold Corporation to pursue exploration on the Rouyn Property
(see press release dated October 25, 2016) . In 2015, the Company expanded its exploration property
portfolio by acquiring strategic base metal properties in prospective areas of the Abitibi Belt of Quebec
and Ontario that also feature infrastructure favourable for mining development. The newly acq uired base
metal properties include Scott Lake which hosts important mineral resources. The Company also owns
the Beschefer project immediately adjacent to SOQUEM’s B -26 deposit and where, regionally,
exploration interest has been increasing.
