Secova Retains Longford Exploration Services to Commence Initial Exploratory Work at the Eagle River Project in the Windfall Lake District of Urban Barry, Quebec

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 13, 2017) - Secova Metals Corp. (TSXV: SEK) (FSE: N4UN) (OTC: SEKZF) ("Secova" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has engaged Longford Exploration Services ("Longford") to initiate work at the Eagle River project located in the Urban Barry district of Quebec — host to the Windfall Lake, Zone 18, Gladiator, Barry and Nubar deposits.

Longford is an international exploration services provider currently active within the Abitibi Quebec region of Val d'Or. The company has been providing exploration services to resource and mining companies since 2007. One of Longford's team members has been residing and working within the Val d'Or area for over 25 years. He oversaw all aspects of exploration in the Urban Barry area, for both junior and major companies. This culminated in a 4-5 year contract managing the Windfall properties drilling and trenching, while Noront Resources owned the property, before it was acquired by Secova's CEO and Chairman in his former company Eagle Hill Exploration Corporation. In the early 2010's he also was a field geologist in the Abitibi for Beaufield Resources.

Longford will be starting data compilation and will prepare a plan for Phase 1 of exploration which will include a scheduled visit to the project to evaluate logistics and suggestions on utilizing airborne and ground geophysics.

Secova Metal's CEO and Chairman, Mr. Brad Kitchen, commented that "I'm extremely excited to be working with the Longford team. With all the enthusiasm building in this camp, in particular with Osisko Mining, Beaufield Resources, Bonterra Resources & Metanor Resources, our management believes commencing work immediately at the Eagle River project is warranted."
