Berkwood Mobilizes to Lac Gueret Graphite Property, Quebec to undertake Misa a la Masse Electromagnetic Program

August 21, 2018, VANCOUVER, B.C. Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR, FSE: BK2, WKN: A110N3) ("Berkwood" or the "Compa
--->ny") is pleased to announce that Abitibi Geophysics, domiciled in Quebec, has mobilized its geophysics crew to the Zon
--->e 1 Graphite target at the Company's 100% owned Lac Gueret South Project. The Mise a la Masse ("MALM") electromagnetic
---> ("EM") program is intended to further define the distribution and structure of the Zone 1 Graphite discovery, where 2
--->7 HQ diamond drill holes have been drilled over 3 drill programs. Every hole has intersected visible Graphite, and the
---> MALM program is configured to assist with identifying continuity trends between drill holes and along strike from the
---> existing drilling. 

Three separate drill programs have been executed on Berkwood's Zone 1 Graphite Body for a total of over 4,000m complet
--->ed.  All 27 holes are mineralized and 26 holes intersected significant graphite.  These intercepts support an evolving
---> structural model of multiple recumbently folded graphitic horizons hosting thick and apparently continuous graphitic 
--->intervals of compelling grade and true thickness has previously been reported. Working from airborne and ground-based 
--->EM data, the Company has drill tested an area covering about 300m by 300m, leaving a significant strike extent of the 
--->conductive anomaly as yet untested by drilling. It is expected that the MALM work will help inform plans for further d
--->rilling. All the graphite intersected so far is shallow; the Company is focussed on defining open-pit mineable, low st
--->rip and high value (coarser flake and most readily recoverable) graphite. All work is being targeted to a depth simila
--->r to that undertaken by Mason Graphite for its planned open pit development.

The Zone 1 discovery lies eight kilometers southwest of Mason Graphite's deposit, which is the subject of a current Fe
--->asibility Study.  Berkwood believes the deposit has a similar structure to the Lac Gueret deposit, which hosts one of 
--->the highest-grade graphite deposits in the world. Mason is concluding its permitting process to start development in 2
--->018. This benefits Berkwood's project, as the commissioning of an adjacent mine will ensure the development of area in
--->frastructure.

The Mise a la Masse program consists of establishing electronic sensors in selected drill holes (5 holes presently sel
--->ected) and at surface at variable distances along conductive strike from selected drill holes: selected down hole inte
--->rcepts of graphite will then be charged, and the cross-hole and surface expression of the highly conductive graphite c
--->harted and mapped. It is expected that the MALM results will improve the resolution of our existing EM data and will i
--->mprove the correlation of graphitic intervals between drill holes.

The Company is using Longford Exploration Services (Longford) of LaMotte Quebec, headed by Olivier Lemieux, in support
---> of Abitibi Geophysics of Val-d'Or, Quebec, the mise a la masse geophysical contractor. Both Longford and Abitibi are 
--->highly experienced operators in the region.

Tom Yingling, President and CEO of Berkwood: "We look forward to receiving the results and furthering the understandin
--->g of our Zone 1 graphite discovery.  We are also very honoured to welcome the SIDEX fund and Fonds de Solidarite FTQ a
--->s new shareholders;  we are thrilled that SIDEX has financed the work programs proposed at the Lac Gueret Graphite and
---> the Ford Cobalt project and that the Fonds de Solidarite FTQ has provided working capital as part of their common Fie
--->ld-Action 2018 program".
