NEWS RELEASE
New Tech Minerals Announces Cobalt and Vanadium Results from a Recent Sampling
Program at Their Buena Vista Hills Cobalt Project in Nevada
Vancouver, B.C., October 16, 2018: New Tech Lithium (the "Company") (NTM:CSE) is pleased
to announce as part of preparation for a phase 1 diamond drilling program scheduled for Q-4, 2018,
New Tech Minerals (NTM:CSE) geologists recently conducted a geologic reconnaissance and
sample collection program on its Buena Vista Hills (BVH) cobalt project, located approximately
23 miles ESE of Lovelock, focusing on the historic Seigerstrom-Heizer (SH) open pit iron mine
area located on the property. The Seigerstrom-Heizer mine has an historical resource of 35 million
tons of 30% iron, composed primarily of semi-massive to massive magnetite (Nevada Bureau of
Mines, 1977).

Rock Sampling and Results

Select samples of limonite-altered rock, a result of pyrite oxidation, were collected within and
adjacent to the main iron-cobalt-vanadium mineralized zones in and around the SH open pit.
Representative samples of the various types of mostly un-oxidized magnetite-pyrite mineralization
were also collected from the dumps surrounding the open pit.

Three semi-massive to massive magnetite samples were significantly enriched in vanadium (1245
ppm, 1255 ppm, and 1360 ppm V), with elevated levels of cobalt (64 ppm, 384 ppm, and 176 ppm
Co, respectively).

Two semi-massive magnetite samples with significant pyrite content were significantly enriched
in cobalt (1485 ppm and 4820 ppm Co) with elevated levels of vanadium (410 ppm and 169 ppm
V, respectively).

Limonite-altered samples were collected from the NE wall of the SH pit and from several small
development ("prospect") pits occurring along the NE extension of the SH fault zone, and from a
small pit and outcrop SW of the open -pit. Four samples collected from the NE margins of the pit
wall, and from development pits and a cat-cut that occur up to 1000 feet NE of the SH pit, were
significantly enriched in cobalt (284, 465, 825, 921 ppm Co). A rock sample taken from a
development pit located approximately 1,500-feet NE of the SH pit contains 837 ppm cobalt.

Conclusions

Reconnaissance and dump sampling results suggest the following:

   1. Magnetite, with little or no pyrite, contains significant vanadium mineralization.

     2. Magnetite mineralization can contain significant cobalt mineralization as well (up to
        approximately 1.2% cobalt), with cobalt concentrations generally positively correlated
        with the amount of contained pyrite.

     3. Zones of rock containing strong limonite alteration extending up to 1,500-feet NE of the
        open pit contain significant cobalt mineralization.

     4. Drilling will be required to determine the geometry and extent of cobalt and vanadium
        mineralization beneath and adjacent to the SH open pit as well as both NE and NW of the
        SH fault.

Option Agreement Amendment
Further to the news release on August 1st, 2018, the company has amended the agreement of the
terms to property package approximately 4.2 kilometres southeast of Sokoman Iron Corp.'s
flagship Moosehead high-grade gold project in Newfoundland:
New Tech has the option to acquire 100 per cent of the property in a cash and share exchange
agreement in consideration for:
     dot    Payment of $15,000 already paid;
     dot    Issuance of 1.5 million common shares to be paid upon closing of the agreement.
