RT Minerals Corp. Announces Drill Mobilization at Link-Catharine Gold Property near Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and Private Placement

Vancouver, February 4, 2021 - RT Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RTM) (OTC Pink: RTMFF) (the "Company", "RTM") announces drill mobilization at its 100% optioned Link-Catharine RLDZ gold property (the "Property") located approximately 22 kilometres south east of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada.

Drilling at the Link-Catharine property will focus on geophysical anomalies outlined from a 3D Distributed Array IP geophysical program completed in January 2021 by Canadian Exploration Services Ltd. (Geophysics results; see website: rtmcorp.com). The geophysical program identified targets immediately to the south, north, east and to depth in relation to the drilling completed by RTM in November and December 2020.

In addition, the current drill program will follow up the significant discovery of the three separate sub-parallel / en-echelon gold sections encountered by RTM drilling in October and November 2020 and as detailed in the Company's news release of December 1, 2020. The 2020 drilling encountered intermittent gold mineralization within a general area of approximately 130m west to east, 100m north to south and to a depth of 140m. The potential for further mineralization is open in all directions.

Highlights of the 2020 drilling consist of near surface intercepts of up to 8m of 9.43 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) (CA 20-01), 0.49m of 7.43 g/t Au (CA 20-02), 0.49m of 7.43 g/t Au (CA 20-03), 0.05m of 6.56 g/t Au (CA 20-04) and 6.9m of 2.25 g/t Au (CA 20-05). The above higher grade intervals were contained within areas of intermittent gold mineralization over 35m to 54m intervals. For complete drill hole intercepts see the Company's December 1, 2020 press release. True widths of the gold mineralization from the 2020 drilling are unknown at this time.

Follow up drilling based on the results of the 3D geophysical program along with the widespread nature of gold mineralization traversing all rock units within the Property, as well as the strong hydrothermal alteration with sulphides, suggests a significant gold bearing system is present. Large anomalous gold halos, with high grade intervals contained therein, as observed at the Link-Catharine property, are similar to the past producing Kerr Addison Mine ("Kerr") located about 25 km northeast of RTM's Link-Catharine property. The age of the rocks as well as the presence of the green carbonate (Fuchsite) and contiguous ultramafic volcanic facies containing varying amounts of quartz and sulphides are also similar to parts of the geologic package observed at both Link-Catharine and the Kerr. The Kerr was a major Archean gold deposit with about 900m of strike length and extended to approximately 2000m in depth. The current results from the Link-Catharine property indicate an Archean gold bearing suite of volcanic rocks. The planned RTM drill program will consist of 10 holes for approximately 3000m of drilling.

Mr. Garry Clark, P.Geo., is the Independent Qualified Person for the Norwalk and Link-Catharine RLDZ gold properties and he has reviewed and approves the technical contents of this press release.
