NI 43-101 Technical Report
The Company is pleased to report that R. Perry MacKinnon, P.Geo. (APEGNB), has completed an initial National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, with an effective date of November 1, 2016, on its Houlton Woodstock Manganese Property located in Carleton County, New Brunswick.
The technical report completed for the Company and Globex includes a detailed summary of historical and more recent work on the Property, interpretations, conclusions and recommendations for additional exploration. The complete NI 43-101 Technical Report is available on SEDAR. The technical report identified a number of points of interest as follows:
- The Property consists of 55 claims totaling approximately 1729 hectares, or over 4300 acres.
- The Property contains historic workings referred to as (north to south) Iron Ore Hill, Sharpe Farm and Moody Hill Mn-Fe occurrences. Historical tonnage and grade calculations for these occurrences are reported as 22,680,000 tonnes of 10% Mn, 7,257,000 tonnes of 9% Mn and 9,071,847 tonnes at 9.5% Mn respectively. In addition, historic and more recent sampling at showings north and south of these areas also show significant values of Mn bearing rocks. Note: The above estimates are from Sidwell, 1957 using limited drilling and a widely spaced gravity survey. The author has not done enough work to verify these resources, therefore the above reserves are historical in nature and the company, Sunset Cove Mining Inc., should not treat this historical estimate as current mineral resources / reserves as defined under NI 43-101. Neither quality assurance (QA) nor quality control (QC) can be performed because the entire old drill core has been lost. Additional systematic surface drilling is required to verify the historical estimates and possibly upgrade part of the whole historical estimate into current resources.
- The Technical Report recommends an exploration program consisting of increased magnetometer coverage and a diamond drill program consisting of approximately 3850 metres.
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Perry MacKinnon, P.Geo, who is a Qualified Person regarding Sunset Cove's Houlton Woodstock manganese property located in Carleton County, New Brunswick.
Debt Settlement
In connection with the Company's effort to restructure, the Company has also negotiated debt settlement agreements with various creditors. $65,000 of outstanding debt will be extinguished through the issuance of 130,000 shares (the "Debt Settlement") at a deemed price of $0.50 per share. The common shares issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement will be subject to a four-month hold period. The Debt Settlement remains subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Mr. Viele is currently the President and Director of Premier Strategic Alliance Inc., and has held these positions since the company was founded in 1996.
