Update on Anticipated start to Exploration Drilling at high grade gold Cabin Lake Project

VANCOUVER, Aug. 24, 2020 - Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) ("Rover Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its press release of August 4, 2020, announcing a non-brokered Unit Financing, it anticipates performing a first closing of the Unit Financing shortly, and expects to commence exploration drilling at its Cabin Lake gold project as early as August 31, 2020.

Financing Status
As announced, each "Unit" is priced at $0.06 and is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). Each Warrant has a two year life and an exercise price of $0.12 per warrant, with an acceleration clause if the Company's shares trade at $0.20 per share for five consecutive trading days. The company anticipates closing the Unit Financing by the end of August.

In addition, Rover Metals' working capital is assisted by a $40,000 CEBA relief loan recently received from the Federal Government of Canada. The $40,000 loan is interest free through to December 31, 2022, and $10,000 of loan is forgivable if the loan is repaid in full by December 31, 2022.

Cabin Lake Exploration Program
The proceeds of the financing will be used to commence exploration drilling at the Company's 100% owned Cabin Lake gold project. The Company has budgeted for approximately 500 meters of drilling which will include confirmation drilling of historical high grade gold drill intercepts in the Bugow Cabin Lake gold zone. The drill program is the initial step towards bringing confirming and expanding the historic 100,000 tons at 0.30 Oz/ton* Bugow historic resource estimate to a NI 43-101 complaint mineral resource estimate and is also a stepping-stone to advancing the Company's new exploration strategy for the property. Historic drill intersects reported in the Cabin Lake Gold Zone include DDH86-28 with 14.98 g/t Au over 12.1m. Other high-grade gold historic intersects include holes DDH 86-13 with multiple gold intersects including 7.74g/t Au over 1.52m and 6.85 g/t Au over 3.04m and 15.77 gpt Au over 6.09m. DDH 86-10 reported 9.53 g/t Au over 0.95m and 12 g/t Au over 8.84m. DDH 86-12 reported 15.77 g/t Au over 8.02m. Rover Metals' program is designed to go back to that zone to both confirm those grades.

(*) As per Section 2.4 of NI 43-101, Aber Resources Ltd. reported a mineral inventory (that does not compare to the current CIM Definitions Standards mineral resource categories) of 100,000 tons at 0.30 ounces per ton gold at the Cabin Lake Gold zone on the north limb of the folded Bugow Iron Formation in their 1986 and 1987 annual reports. The parameters used for the resource calculation are unknown. These results are relevant as to delineate a larger zone of gold mineralization at the Cabin Lake Gold Zone, but further drilling is needed to bring that up to CIM Definition Standards. The reader is cautioned that a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and Rover Metals is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources.
