Sassy Resources Commences Trading; Executes Maiden Exploration Campaign

Sassy Resources Corp. became a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta upon the closing of its spinout Plan of Arrangement from Enduro Metals Corporation (TSXV: ENDR) (formerly Crystal Lake Mining) on February 18, 2020.

Mr. Mark Scott, Sassy Chief Executive Officer, commented: "On behalf of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers of Sassy Resources, I am very pleased Sassy has received final listing approval from the CSE. This is a significant milestone in the development of the Company and supports the execution of our capital and operations strategy moving forward. I am equally pleased that Sassy has initiated its maiden exploration program at the Foremore Gold-Silver Project, with Phase I of a planned two-phase drilling program for 2020 having started on July 20.

"Foremore consists of 35 mineral claims covering 146 sq. km of high-grade gold-silver targets in the Eskay Camp district in the heart of Northwest B.C.'s prolific Golden Triangle," Mr. Scott continued. "Sassy looks forward to sharing more detail about the exciting Foremore Gold-Silver Project and the initial results of our work in the weeks ahead. Since May we have raised approximately $3.5 million at hard dollar prices of 25 cents (May) and 30 cents (July) per share to execute at Foremore and prepare for fall/winter activity elsewhere. As the name suggests, Sassy is going to be lively, bold and full of spirit."

Sassy Share Structure

Sassy features an attractive share structure with a total of only 29,082,961 shares currently issued and outstanding. This total includes 10 million shares issued to Enduro (formerly Crystal Lake) shareholders in a dividend spinout earlier this year.

Four-month holds on the May and July 2020 financings (5.7 million shares issued in May and 6.5 million shares issued in July) expire September 22 and November 29, 2020, respectively, leaving 15,055,816 shares free-trading as of August 17 (1,814,184 shares currently subject to escrow will be released in equal instalments every six months for the next 36 months).

Just under 17.2 million warrants are outstanding, mostly from the May and July private placements with 30-month expiry dates, for the potential to add another $6.3 million to the Company's treasury.
