SECOVA CONTRACTS INNOVEXPLO AND MR. ALI BEN AYAD AT DUVAY

Secova Metals Corp. has contracted InnovExplo and Dr. Ali Ben Ayad to work at its Duvay gold project in Amos, Que.

Secova has reached an agreement with InnovExplo for the preparation of the data compilation at the Duvay project. InnovExplo is located in Val d'Or, Que., about an hour drive from the Duvay project. Its location is quite convenient with regard to saving time and money if it needs to go on site. It will produce the computer database with all 330 historical drill logs by entering it in Gems for 3-D geological modelling. It also has licences and experienced users of MapInfo, Leapfrog, GoCAD and all the software needed to retrieve all the data with no extra cost for software, including the very-high-quality software Gems and Whittle from 3DS Geovia. InnovExplo has grown over the years from a well-established regional provider of National Instrument 43-101-compliant technical reports to a national and international service provider in geology, mine engineering and sustainable development.

In March, Abitibi Geophysics (AG), also based in Val d'Or, completed an IPower 3-D induced polarization survey to cover a significantly large volume of rock and in high resolution. The results of the IP survey will be combined with the 3-D model prepared by InnovExplo to identify drilling targets and project fieldwork at Duvay for the spring and summer of 2016.

Secova is also pleased to announce that it has contracted Dr. Ayad, PGeo, MBA, to continue the geological compilation work started last year (2015) which has been published on Secova's website. Dr. Ayad is an experienced geologist (more than 25 years) with a PhD in structural geology and metallogeny, along with extensive success in identifying mineral resources for precious and/or base metals in different and complex geological environments (Europe, Africa, America and the Philippines). Dr. Ayad is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. He has also worked with Abitibi Geophysics (formerly Sagax) in Africa and Canada. He will contribute to finding the best exploration targets for Duvay in collaboration with AG and InnovExplo.

"This is an extremely exciting time for Secova and its shareholders," stated Pierre-Jean Lafleur (QP), a director and the company's lead technical person. "Having now come to agreements with Abitibi Geophysics, InvvoExplo and Mr. Ali Ben Ayad, from a technical standpoint, the company could not be in a better position. We have excellent synergy with the above-noted entities, and I'm confident we can all work with the rest of Secova's management to maximize the future success of the company and the Duvay project.

"Secova is planning to start drilling in May on Duvay to verify targets being outlined now with geophysics and geological compilation. The area studied reaches a depth of 500 metres below the surface. Current historical work (drilling and exploration mine shafts with two levels) reached a depth of about 100 metres. The exploration work this spring may include bulk samples from surface on the existing gold-bearing structures and their continuation on strike," stated Mr. Lafleur.

We seek Safe Harbor.
