Vancouver, B.C. – June 19, 2024 ‐ Crest Resources Inc. (CSE: CRES) (the “Company” or “Crest”) is pleased to announce it is closing the acquisition of 100% of the Leigh Creek Magnesite Project, as announced on May 24, 2024.

Crest is issuing 500,000 common shares to Volatus Capital, which owns 20% of one of the exploration licences and a further 4,500,000 Crest common shares, are being distributed pro-rata between all the shareholders of Witchimag Pty Ltd., the Australian private company which owns 100% of Exploration Licence 6019 and 80% of Exploration Licence 6573 in the state of South Australia (see also Note 8 of the Company’s recent interim financials for the period ending August 31, 2023).
