SKRR Exploration Plans Winter Drilling at Leland Gold Project, Saskatchewan

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 17, 2020) - SKRR Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SKRR) (OTC PINK: SKKRF) (FSE: B04Q) ("SKRR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced planning and permitting activity in preparation for a 1,500m diamond drilling program at the Leland project located 23 kilometers southwest of SSR Mining's Seabee Gold Operation, within the Trans Hudson Corridor of east-central Saskatchewan. Under the terms of the option agreement with Taiga Gold Corp. ("Taiga"), SKRR may earn up to a 75% interest in the Leland property. The preliminary budget for the drill program has been set at $750,000.

Sherman Dahl, CEO of SKRR, commented:

"With SSR Mining recently earning a 60% interest in Taiga's Fisher Gold Project located in the Trans Hudson Corridor, we look forward to drilling the Leland property located in this highly prospective area just southwest of the Seabee Gold Operation. Drill targets are being finalized and upon receipt of permits, a winter drill program is scheduled to commence."

2020 Work Program

The 2020 summer field program at Leland included detailed prospecting and mapping, infill and grid soil geochemical sampling, channel sampling of trenches and ground truthing of EM anomalies generated by 2019 drone survey. Work was focused on the Michelle/Irving area (channel sampling), the East Leland target area (gridded soil sampling) and the newly discovered Irvle magnetic anomaly area (prospecting and soil sampling). An ATV trail was also constructed to provide access from the main camp to the Irving and Simon showing areas. A total of 74 rock samples and 200 soil samples were collected and submitted for geochemical analyses, with results pending.

Highlights of Previous Work at Leland

In 2019 Taiga completed a three-phase geological and geophysical program at Leland. Highlights from the program include:

• Gold mineralization grading up to 5.4 g/t Au over 0.65 m within 2.1 g/t Au over 3.22 m (channel sample) from the Irving trench along the Simon-Irving Trend.
• Discovery of 5 new gold-mineralized occurrences along the Simon-Irving trend grading between 113 ppb Au and 3.5g/t Au.
• Soil geochemical results proximal to the Leland showing (SMDI-2390) support samples collected in 2015 and delineate a new zone of anomalous soils to the west of the Leland Showing and northeast of the Simon Showing (SMDI-2388) that are targets for future follow up work.
• Recent staking by Taiga included claims overlying the Duck Lake Occurrence (SMDI 1731) covers two quartz stockwork zones within a shear with the Main Zone traced on surface for 180m. Limited historical grab sampling returned values up to 3.2 g/t Au.
• Drone magnetic survey defines association of Simon-Irving mineralization with a magnetic low linear feature.

Some of the above results were taken directly from the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) descriptions. SKRR cautions that some of the historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person but form a basis for ongoing work in the Leland Property area. Rock grab samples are selective samples by nature and as such are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted across the property.
