Stelmine provides an update on its current exploration work

QUEBEC CITY, Aug. 20, 2019 - Stelmine Canada (« Stelmine ») (STH-TSXV) Stelmine announces an update on its current exploration work. The current focus of exploration work on the Courcy property is on the northwestern flank of the major anticline structure associated with the gold prospective Couteau fault.

Our geology crew has unearthed several new interesting sulfide-rich structures associated with amphibolite and metasedimentary rocks as well as iron formations. A series of meter-thick sulfide-bearing quartz veins and stockworks were also discovered. Overburden stripping generated 9 trenches yielding 80 channel samples. Furthermore, 42 grab rock samples of sulfide-mineralized rocks were collected. In total, 122 samples were sent to the Actlabs laboratory, for gold analysis.

Our exploration crew will initiate a geochemical till survey on the eastern segment of the property to identify new gold-bearing zones that could be stripped of the overburden and submitted to channel sampling.

During the next month, the Joubert property will also be submitted to a regional till survey accompanied by a detailed exploration of three key gold prospective areas where overburden stripping and channel sampling is contemplated.

Stelmine wishes to inform its investors on a correction regarding the number of shares issued upon the closing of the August 1^st, 2019 financing. The total value of the placement remains unchanged (203,500$), for a total issuance of 1,142,499 shares. The Society must issue a total of 333 new ordinary shares at the same conditions established on the 1^st of August financing, such as: a price of 0.15$ per unit, each Unit is composed of one (1) common share of Stelmine (“Share”) and one half (1/2) warrant, each warrant entitling its holder to subscribe to one (1) Share at a price of $0.20 per Share during an 18-month period.
