Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 14, 2021) - Canuc Resources Corporation (TSXV: CDA) (OTCQB: CNUCF) ("Canuc" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the drilling program currently in progress at the Company's San Javier Ag-Au Project in Sonora State, Mexico.

The first hole, of a planned 6,000 m (20 hole) drill program, experienced several mechanical issues and was terminated at a depth of 89.5 m in a fault zone. This hole (SJ21-01), which is being drilled on the Silver Mountain target, intersected brecciated sedimentary rocks containing stockwork veining, magnetite stringers and blebs of magnetite throughout, from surface to the terminated depth. Three intervals totaling 9.0 m of massive magnetite breccia were encountered. This material was visibly similar to the veins sampled on surface which contained highly elevated Ag values ranging from 27.9 to 2,859 g/t Ag (See news release dated Sept 22, 2020). Pyrite mineralization, either disseminated or in stronger patches, was also encountered. Samples from the concentrated magnetite breccia zones as well the zones containing pyrite mineralization and the rest of the zones containing stockwork veining, disseminated pyrite and magnetite stringers have been split and sent to the lab for assay. The drill has been repositioned 2 m from the original collar, and the hole is being re-drilled to complete the test of a magnetic high detected at depth proximal to this site.

The 20-hole program is designed to test at least 4 magnetic features that underlie areas where a 2020 mapping and rock sampling program identified silver, gold and copper mineralization. At surface, the host rocks for three of these features are found to be magnetite breccia. The magnetic features include a 600 m x 400 m target area (Silver Mountain and Wild Hog Zones) made up of a cluster of moderate magnetic highs and lows in the northeast part of the property. Hole (SJ21-01) was the first of at least 5 holes planned for this area.

The second target area derives from a strong, circular magnetic anomaly measuring 600 m in diameter. Referred to as the Millrock Target, this zone at surface displays abundant stockwork veining and contains elevated gold and copper mineralization. At least 2 holes are planned to test the Millrock Target.

The third target is a donut shaped magnetic feature located in the southeastern part of the property. The core of this feature is a magnetic low approximately 400 m in diameter, surrounded by a weak magnetic high. Elevated gold and copper and lesser silver occur in surface samples in this area. The host rocks are stockworked veined sediments and feldspar porphyry containing hematite, magnetite, pyrite and copper oxides.

The fourth target to be investigated results from a strong magnetic high anomaly measuring 600 x 500 m which is located in the northwest part of the property. Ten rock samples collected from magnetite breccia at surface and from old workings along a 300 m span within this anomaly contained high silver (65.7 to 718 g/t) and copper (474 ppm to 1.03%) and elevated gold (0.039 to 0.812 g/t). The rock types in this area include volcanic and granodioritic intrusive sequences.

"Drilling at San Javier is expected to continue throughout Q2 and Q3 and we will provide further updates as progress permits." Stated Chris Berlet, President and CEO of Canuc.
