Spey Options the Silver Basin Property, in British Columbia

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2020) - Spey Resources Corp. (CSE: SPEY) ("Spey" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire a 100% interest from John (Jack) Denny, Robert (Bob) Denny and John Mirko in the Silver Basin Property (the "Property") located in the Revelstoke Mining Division, of southern British Columbia.

The Company believes the Property has potential to host high grade gold-silver and possibly cobalt-nickel deposits. For the first time in over 100 years, the recently consolidated Property now encompasses more than 8 km of a prospective trend that includes numerous known mineral occurrences of gold, silver, lead and zinc hosted in veins and larger zones of brecciation.

The Property has reportedly been explored since before 1890 and more recently the Denny family of Salmo, BC has been further exploring the Property since the 1970s. Historical surface rock sampling completed in 1946 on the Foggy Day target area reportedly returned assays of 41.14 g/t Au and 116.6 g/t Ag across a 0.94 meter thick quartz sulphide vein. Two grab samples from a 2nd vein reportedly assayed 65.1 g/tonne Au, 205.7 g/t Ag and 92.6 g/tonne Au, 603.4 g/tonne Ag. At the Silver Basin target, a 7 ton sample shipped to the Trail smelter assayed 1.14 oz/ton Au, 55 oz/ton Ag, 27% Pb and 3% Zn. A grab sample from that vein across 0.45 meter assayed 161.2 oz/ton Ag. A 1,000 meter diamond drill program to test down dip on the Morning Star and IXL veins was recommended by Taiga Consultants Ltd. (R. Chisholm, 1988) but reportedly never carried out.

In addition, cobalt and nickel values have been found to occur in an ultramafic intrusion where a grab sample assayed 0.20% cobalt and 0.30% nickel, adding a new dimension with compelling possibilities of outlining a new target. The British Columbia Geological Survey Branch gave notice on February 22, 2019 that it intends to investigate the newly discovered cobalt potential of the Property and the immediate area known to host other ultramafic host rocks and geology favorable for hosting cobalt and nickel mineralization.

"We are excited to enter into the Silver Basin Option Agreement based on early indications of high grade gold and silver mineralization in this historic mining district ", stated David Thornley-Hall, President of Spey Resources Corp. "We intend to mobilize an aggressive work program as part of our strategy to evaluate the highly prospective zones in this clearly under explored area."

Beginning immediately, the company will focus exploration activities on expanding the known gold and silver occurrences by mapping, prospecting and sampling of the property.

Cautionary Language: the results quoted herein are from previous historical exploration summary documents, geological reports and BC Government reports, and have not been verified by a Qualified Person. The exploration work and results appear to have been done in an appropriate technical standard however, and Spey's Qualified Person believes them to be reliable. Spey will be resampling certain surface outcrops as part of its due diligence work.
