NEWS RELEASE

CREST RESOURCES TO SELL SHARES OF EXPLOITS GOLD CORP. TO ORIGEN RESOURCES INC.

Vancouver, B.C. – September 1, 2020 - Crest Resources Inc. (“Crest” or the “Company”) (CSE: CRES) announces that the Company proposes to sell 3,000,000 common shares of its investment in Exploits Gold Corp. (“Exploits”, a private company with mineral properties in Newfoundland) to Origen Resources Inc. (“Origen”) for 4,620,000 common shares of Origen. The Company also proposes to sell a further 1,000,000 common shares of Exploits to a non-arm’s length party.

Origen is a British Columbia junior exploration company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) engaged in generating, acquiring and advancing base and precious metal properties. Origen currently holds a property portfolio of four 100% owned precious and base metal projects in southern British Columbia and recently acquired a 100% interest in the 26,771 ha LGM project and an option to acquire a 100% interest in the 3,971 ha Wishbone property in the mineral rich Golden Triangle of British Columbia.

The Transaction

The transaction with Origen is valued at $924,000 based on the closing market price of Origen’s shares on the CSE of $0.20 on August 31, 2020. The transaction is considered to be a non-arm’s length transaction because Michael Collins (“Collins”), the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Crest, is also a director of Origen. Following completion of the transaction, the Company will own and control 4,620,000 common shares of Origen representing 17.41% of the then issued and outstanding common shares based on an estimated total of 26,530,825 common shares outstanding. The Company together with its joint actors will own and control 5,220,000 common shares representing approximately 19.68% of the proforma issued and outstanding common shares of Origen.

The Company further proposes to sell 1,000,000 common shares of Exploits to a private company of which Collins is a director for consideration of a note payable of $350,000 that is payable on demand and accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The shares are pledged as collateral for the promissory note.
