CAT Strategic Metals to Acquire District-Scale Uranium Asset in Canada's Western Athabasca Basin, 50+KM Claim Border With Neighbouring Azincourt Energy

VANCOUVER, February 16, 2021 - CAT Strategic Metals Corp. (CSE:CAT) ("CAT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter agreement with arm's-length parties to acquire a privately-held corporation that owns a 100% undivided interest in the South Preston Uranium Property ("South Preston") located in Saskatchewan, Canada.

"We are tremendously excited to share today's announcement. The South Preston Uranium Property provides our shareholders with a district-scale footprint in a world-class uranium basin that is globally known for hosting some of the highest-grade uranium deposits. The Western Athabasca Basin has quickly become the address for new uranium discoveries, including large deposits found within the region by NexGen Energy and Fission Uranium. Recent market interest in neighbouring uranium exploration junior, Azincourt Energy, bodes well for our large adjacent project and speaks to the exploration potential of South Preston in what we believe is a very high-impact and opportunistic acquisition for our shareholders," stated Robert Rosner, CAT's Chairman and CEO.

The South Preston Uranium Property

The South Preston Uranium Property is located in the southwest area of Canada's Athabasca Basin, which is known to host some of the world's highest-grade uranium deposits. Recent discoveries in the region include the Arrow uranium deposit discovered by NexGen Energy Ltd. and the Triple R (PLS) uranium deposit being advanced by Fission Uranium Corp.

The South Preston Uranium Property is district-scale uranium exploration project encompassing approx. 20,679 ha (~51,077 acres) across numerous mineral dispositions. Among other attributes, the property is viewed as prospectively hosting the extension of a priority uranium exploration corridor extending from NexGen Energy Ltd.'s Rook-1 Project through Azincourt Energy Corp.'s adjacent East Preston Uranium Project and onto CAT's new South Preston Uranium Property.

As shown in Figure 1 (see above), the South Preston Uranium Project shares more than 50km of contiguous claim border with Azincourt Energy Corp. and more than 18.5km of continuous project boundary with Orano, a leading global uranium producer.

The Company intends to conduct certain exploration work that will advance its near-term objective to commence the drill testing of targets at the South Preston Uranium Property. Additional announcements relating to the South Preston Uranium Project are expected to be made by news release upon closing of the transaction.
