Makenita President, Jason Gigliotti, stated, "We're extremely excited to kick off operations in New Brunswick on our tungsten project, located right next to the Sisson Tungsten Mine-one of the five nation-building projects highlighted by Prime Minister Mark Carney¹." He continued: "I recently had a great conversation with the Hon. Susan Holt, Premier of New Brunswick, and came away very impressed (Figure 2). She has a bold, clear vision for growing the Province and is highly focused on building New Brunswick into a mining powerhouse. Her enthusiasm is contagious. With a tight share structure of just over 30 million shares outstanding, we believe Makenita is strongly positioned for growth. We're eager to get started and excited about what the near and medium-term could bring for the Company."

Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Makenita may not necessarily be indicative of the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.
