Clarmin completes 2018 field program at Arlington

CLARMIN RESOURCES INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF THE 2018 FIELD PROGRAM ON THE ARLINGTON PROPERTY

Clarmin Exploration Inc. has completed a soil geochemical and prospecting program on the company's Arlington project to evaluate the potential for extending anomalous copper-silver soil geochemical results identified in 2017. The Arlington property is located 18 kilometres north of the Hamlet of Beaverdell and the historic silver-copper-lead-zinc mines of the Beaverdell mining camp located in the Greenwood mining division. The 2018 field program at the Arlington property has been completed, consisting of a soil geochemical, rock sampling and prospecting program over newly extended grid lines between the north and south grids to evaluate the potential for extending anomalous copper and silver soil anomalies outlined during the 2017 exploration field program.

The results of the 2018 soil geochemical sampling program have extended anomalous copper and silver soil geochemical results through the sampled area between the two grids. Mapping and prospecting programs to date indicate that anomalous copper, silver plus/minus lead and zinc soil geochemical anomalies appear to reflect the close proximity of the underlying contact between Carboniferous to Permian Anarchist group volcanic tuffs and Middle Jurassic diorite of the Nelson Plutonic suite. Mapping and prospecting in the areas of anomalous copper soil geochemistry shows that outcrop exposure is generally less than 5 per cent and, in those areas where outcrop was located, the Anarchist group was generally found to be a dense, dark green flaky chlorite biotite hornblende schist, which frequently contains magnetite, pyrite and trace chalcopyrite as accessory minerals. Wherever this unit was encountered, the rock was strongly fractured, quite magnetic and locally brecciated with quartz, K feldspar and epidote breccia-fracture filling and veining. The contact between the Anarchist group rocks and the Nelson Plutonic suite in this area is sinuous, trending to the north-northwest. The soil geochemical surveys locally highlight structurally controlled east-west trending fractures and shears, which locally host copper, silver plus/minus gold mineralization within diorites of the Nelson Plutonic suite and locally within the Anarchist group.

Prospecting in the southern portions of the property located the Black Minfile occurrence. The Black Minfile occurrence consists of a series of northwest-trending historical trenches and test pits exposing a 20-centimetre quartz vein hosting disseminations of pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite. A grab sample of the mineralized vein returned 1.05 per cent Cu, 37.65 grams per tonne Ag, 0.13 g/t Au and 3,556.4 parts per million Mo. It should be noted that grab samples by nature are selective and therefore may not be representative of the mineralization being evaluated. Soil grid lines were extended to cover the Black showing and its potential strike extension. Results of the soil geochemical survey over the Black showing failed to return any significant results along strike.

The company is currently evaluating the above results determining the next steps on the Arlington property, in addition to evaluating various strategic alternatives.
