ESCAPE LAKE COPPER NICKEL PGM DEPOSITS

_Thunder Bay North and Escape Lake Copper-Nickel PGM Deposits: Advanced by Clean Air Metals (TSX.V: AIR)_

On July 2, 2019, Benton Resources Inc. announced that it has executed two separate binding purchase agreements with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. (‘RTEC’) and Panoramic Resources Limited (‘PAN’) to purchase 100% interest in the TBN and Escape Lake deposits located only 50 km from the Company’s office in Thunder Bay and approximately 60 km south of Impala Canada (NAP) Lac des Iles Mine.

Under the agreements, Benton paid RTEC $3.0m CAD on signing with a further $3.0m over 3 years, RTEC retained a 1% Net Smelter Royalty (‘NSR’) on the Escape Lake claims. Under the PAN Agreement, Benton would acquire PAN’s wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Panoramic PGMs Canada Ltd., which holds the Thunder Bay North Project (the ‘TBN Project’) for $9 million CAD.

Subsequently Benton entered into an agreement Regency Gold, whereby it changed its name to Clean Air Metals (TSX-V. AIR). Clean Air would pay all remaining payments and complete all commitments under the agreements. Benton received 24.6 million shares of AIR and retains a 0.5% net smelter return royalty from production on the Escape Lake Deposit and a 0.5% net smelter return royalty from production on any mineral claims comprising the TBN portion of the Project that a net smelter royalty has not previously been granted which includes the Beaver and Cloud Zones plus portions of the Bridge Zone, each being part of the Current Lake Deposit excluding the northern portion of the TBN deposit under Current lake where there is an existing 3% NSR.

Since the closing of the transaction, and in a short period of time, Clean Air has aggressively and efficiently advanced the Project with a recent new mineral resource estimate prepared by Nordmin Engineering Ltd. Based on an underground ramp-access constrained resource model with a cut-off value equating to 1.56 g/tonne PdEq (2.56 g/tonne PtEq) using 3-year trailing average metal prices for all metals except cobalt, which used a 2-year trailing average. The Current Lake Depositcontains anIndicated Mineral Resourceof 11,999,177 tonnes grading 3.44 g/t PdEq and anInferred Mineral Resourceof 6,406,960 tonnes grading 2.02 g/tonne PdEq. The Escape Lake Depositcontains anIndicated Mineral Resourceof 4,286,220 tonnes grading 3.67 g/t PdEq and anInferred Mineral Resourceof 3,445,179 tonnes grading 2.23 g/tonne PdEq.
