Drill Program To Re-Start At Dixie Halo Property

VANCOUVER - BTU Metals Corporation reported the restart of its drill program on its Dixie Halo and Pakwash North properties. Assay results for samples from 10 drill holes completed prior to the end of 2021 on the Dixie Halo property remain pending. Drilling in the first quarter of 2022 will focus on the exploration for gold and copper-gold-silver across its ~230km2 property that shares a >35km common boundary with Great Bear Resources Ltd..

The drilling crew and equipment will be mobilized this month and are expected to continue drilling operations until Spring breakup which is typically April in the Red Lake area. Focus will be on the Dixie Creek area and the Tooth Area.

BTU is currently waiting on assay results from ActLabs for 10 holes drilled in the Hiewall Lake, Rose Lake, and The Tooth areas which are geologically similar to the LP Fault with several kilometers of contact between clastic metasediments and felsic and mafic volcanic rocks. The Company is also awaiting assays on prospecting samples, on outcrops across the property including the Pakwash North area.
