NEWS RELEASE

Crest Resources to Acquire Lunar Frog Gold Property in Toodoggone District,

British Columbia and Announces Resignation of Director

Vancouver, B.C. – July 13, 2020 – Crest Resources Inc. (“Crest” or the “Company”) (CSE: CRES) is pleased

to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest, subject to a 1% net smelter

returns royalty, in the Lunar Frog gold property (the “Property”) for consideration of 1,000,000 common

shares of the Company . The Property consists of six mineral claims comprising 10, 211 hectares well

within the Stikine Terrane and is located north of the Kemess-Toodoggone porphyry gold -

copper/epithermal gold district of British Columbia. The Property has 18 known mineral showings ranging

from Porphyry Copper -Molybdenum-Gold, Copper -Gold Quartz Veins, Platinum and Palladium. The

Property is located approximately 170 kilometres east -southeast of Dease Lake, a small northern

community on the Stewart-Cassiar Highway.

Sample highlights include:

• Grab sample of 1.8 g/t gold, 5.3 g/t silver and 0.502% copper

• Float sample of 1.8 g/t gold, 27 g/t silver and 4.28% copper

• Grab sample of 0.7 g/t gold, 49 g/t silver and 0.989% copper

The Company’s President, Michael Collins, comments, “We are very bullish on the prospects for building

resources in the rediscovered Toodoggone porphyry gold-copper/epithermal gold district and the Lunar

Frog property offers great value and opportunity in this area. Crest will continue to work t o identify

undervalued mineral assets and demonstrate and value them in the public market.”

Porphyry Copper-Gold targets

The assemblage of the Stu/Frog showings are excellent examples of Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum-Gold

targets on the Lunar Frog property.

Regionally, the Stu/Frog showings area lies on the western edge of the Omineca Belt near the Kutcho

fault, marking the boundary with rocks of the Intermontane Belt. The area is underlain by Early Jurassic

granodioritic intrusive rocks of t he Pitman Batholith with minor roof pendants of metavolcanic and

metasedimentary rocks.

Several gossanous areas, quartz veins, minor malachite stains and sulphide occurrences were found in the

southeastern portions of the Property, almost solely in the ga bbro-diorite unit. Similar sulphide

occurrences were found in the northwestern part of the complex, although quartz veins and gossans were

less abundant.

In 2012, a sample (129292) assayed 1.8 g/t gold, 5.3 g/t silver and 0.502% copper, whereas float samples

from the area yielded up to 1.8 g/t gold, 27 g/t silver and 4.28 % copper. Other samples (129123 and

129146) from near the peak of the mountain assayed 0.7 and 0.4 g/t gold and 49 and 15 g/t silver with

3.28 and 0.989% copper, respectively (Assessment Report 33391).

Also in 2012, in other areas of the Property several (128845 and 128846) samples yielded 0.541 and 0.612

% copper with 11.7 and 18.5 g/t silver while a kilometre away a sample (129668) assayed 1.64 % copper,

25.7 g/t silver and 1.02 g/t gold (Assessment Report 33391).

Copper-Gold Quartz Veins

The Lunar Frog property’s potential for Copper-Gold Quartz Veins is illustrated by the sampling of Hard

Creek Nickel Mining. The 2006 sampling resulted in sample 359344 yielding 0.335% copper, 0.22 g/t gold

and 4 g/t silver (Assessment Report 29063). The sample was described as a quartz vein with copper stains.

The area is underlain by mid Triassic to lower Jurassic Takla Group mafic volcanics and the mid Triassic

Lunar Creek Ultramafic Complex. The oldest lithologies in the region are Stikine terrane mixed greenstone

metamorphics and undivided sediments of the Devonian to Permian Asitka Group. The strata is intruded

by Early and Middle Jurassic granodiorite and Late Triassic quartz monzonite

Platinum and Palladium

The Lunar Frog property’s potential for Platinum and Palladium is illustrated by the sampling of Hard Creek

Mining. The 2006 sampling resulted in sample 359251 yielding 0.19 g/t platinum, 0.015 g/t palladium,

0.032% nickel and 0.011 % cobalt. The sample was described as olivine pyroxenite with 3 per cent

sulphides. The area is underlain by mid Triassic to lower Jurassic Takla Group mafic volcanics and the mid

Triassic Lunar Creek Ultramafic Complex. The oldest lithologies in the region are Stikine terrane mixed

greenstone metamorphics and undivided sediments of the Devonian to Permian Asitka Group. The strata

is intruded by Early and Middle Jurassic granodiorite and Late Triassic quartz monzonite (Assessment

Report 29063).
