SKRR Exploration Inc. Reports Significant Gold, Silver & Zinc Mineralization At The Manson Bay Project, Saskatchewan

VANCOUVER, Dec. 21, 2021 - SKRR Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SKRR) (OTC: SKKRF) (FSE: B04Q) ("SKRR" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from its 12-hole, 1,687.68m (5,524' feet) fall drill program on the 100%-owned Manson Bay gold project located in the Trans Hudson corridor in east-central Saskatchewan. Ten holes targeted within the outlined historic Manson Bay Gold Zone over approximately 450m of strike, with the aim to confirm and expand upon historic results and two additional holes tested along strike to the south-west ~300m and 700m respectively of the southern extent of the Manson Bay Gold Zone. Ten holes intersected sulphide mineralization in multiple stacked sheared and brecciated zones, occasionally graphitic, returning significantly anomalous assays in widths ranging in width from 4.57m to 20.29 meters wide (down hole width).

Highlights:

• MB21001: 2.14 g/t Au, 12.90 g/t Ag, 0.13% Pb, and 0.55% Zn over 10.23m (85.68m to 95.91m)
  including: 3.07 g/t Au, 15.60 g/t Ag, 0.16% Pb, and 0.64% Zn over 6.20m (89.71m to 95.91m)
  
  
• MB21002: 1.14 g/t Au, 9.49 g/t Ag, 0.13% Pb, and 0.79% Zn over 9.33m (99.57m to 108.90m)
  
  
• MB21004: 1.79 g/t Au, 13.75 g/t Ag, 0.20% Pb, and 0.47% Zn over 20.29m (96.26m to 116.55m)
  including: 4.01 g/t Au, 28.24 g/t Ag, 0.42% Pb, and 0.76% Zn over 7.75m (106.75m to 114.5m)
  
  
• MB21006: 1.10 g/t Au, 21.05 g/t Ag, 0.44% Pb, and 0.93% Zn over 9.00m (41.00m to 50.00m)
  
  
• MB21012: 0.74g/t Au, 5.77g/t Ag, 0.06% Pb, and 0.45% Zn over 14.42m (148.00m to 162.42m)

Anomalous assays results are coincident with sulphide mineralization occuring in disseminated and interstitial, to stringers, fracture fillings and occasionally semi-massive to massive blebs. Sulphides generally include 1% to 10% pyrite and pyrrhotite, and occasionally 1% - 2% sphalerite and rarely galena.

Sherman Dahl, CEO commented:

"The Manson Bay results are exciting. SKRR is pleased to let all of our long-term investors and all new investors know that we are just getting started. In the last few years, we have done all that we set out to do with multiple discoveries. Even better is we start drilling again in January 2022 and will soon announce back-to-back drill programs at the Olson property along with going back to Manson Bay. Saskatchewan has so much to offer. The Trans Hudson Corridor is extremely well known, yet way underexplored. That is about to change. SKRR is not the only one dedicating serious resources to uncovering the mineral wealth of Saskatchewan, one of the world's top jurisdictions."

Ten of twelve drill holes completed during this program served to in-fill gaps in historic drilling as well as test down-dip extensions of historic intercepts of mineralization at the Manson Bay gold zone (SMDI #2280) where historic drilling by Hudbay Minerals (1985) and MinGold Resources (1987 to 1988) outlined a gold-rich and anomalous silver and base metals zone. Two additional drillholes completed in 2021 aimed to test conductors along-strike to the SW of the Manson Lake gold zone. Drillhole planning for this drill program relied on the results of field exploration activity conducted in the summer of 2021 as well as historic data.

Drill holes completed in 2021 encountered primarily different varieties of paragneiss with short intervals of pegmatite dyke. The most impressive mineralization was generally hosted in altered and brecciated shear zones with up to 10% total disseminated-interstitial-semimassive pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena.

Analytical results ranged from trace values to higher-grade intercepts, as summarized below.

Significant Intercepts Table:

* Drill indicated intercepts (core length) are reported as drilled widths; true thickness is undetermined.
** No cutoffs or metal recoverability were factored into AuEq calculations.
*** Assumptions used in USD for the gold equivalent calculation were metal prices of $1,783.00/oz Au, $22.47/oz Ag, $1.49/lb Zn, and $1.02/lb Pb. Gold equivalent (AuEq) was calculated using the formula AuEq = Augpt + ((Zn%*Zn Price*22.0462) + (Ag *Ag Price/31.1035) + (Pb%*Pb price*22.0462)) / (Cu price*22.0462)

Manson Bay Gold Zone Details

The mineral occurrence located on the Manson Bay Property referred to as the Manson Bay Gold Zone is documented in the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index ("SMDI") as occurrence #2280. Staking and exploration on the Manson Bay and Manson Bay South properties dates back to 1953. Kay Lake Mines Ltd. acquired the property in 1955 and conducted an electromagnetic survey in 1955, and in 1956 followed up with a diamond drill program to test the anomalies along the northeast shore of Manson Bay. Hudson Bay Exploration optioned the property in 1983 and completed 3 drill holes. Drill holes MBO-1 and 2 intersected the mineralization described by this showing. Discovery drill hole MBO-1 encountered an 0.8 ft intersection that returned 0.04 oz./ton Au, 4.38 oz./ton Ag, 5.81% Cu and 0.60% Zn. Between 1987 and 1988, Mingold Resources Limited completed a further 43 drill holes (MBO-4 to MBO-46) to outline a gold-copper rich zone of mineralization.

Geologically, the area straddles the transition zone between the highly metamorphosed (upper amphibolite facies) Amisk Group interlayered volcanics and metasediments to the south and the Kisseynew gneiss belt derived wackes (garnetiferous quartz-feldspar-biotite-hornblende gneiss, quartz-feldspar- hornblende-garnet± biotite gneiss, biotite migmatite, and sericitic quartz- feldspar-biotite schist) to the north and to the east. Pegmatite and calc-silicate gneiss are found in almost all drill holes.

Structurally, the showing area occupies the core of the Schotts Lake anticline. The host rocks have a northeast strike and dip 20°to 30°SE. Lineations indicate a plunge of 21° to 40°NE.

The Manson Bay Gold Zone showing consists of a silicified horizon within a northeast-trending shear zone. Mineralization has been traced over a strike length of 2400 ft (731.5 m) within this silicified shear zone. The mineralized horizon is a quartz-rich gneiss that contains hornblende-feldspar-biotite and locally chlorite and tourmaline crystals. Minerals present include trace to 15% pyrite, trace to 20% pyrrhotite, up to 10% graphite, trace to 12% chalcopyrite, trace to 10% sphalerite, trace galena and associated gold mineralization.

Delineation drilling, at 100 to 200 ft (30.5 to 61.0 m) centers, has outlined an area approximately 300 ft by 500 ft (91.4 m by 152.4 m) where an average 12 ft 3.65 m) width grades between 0.092 and 0.679 oz./ton Au (11 intersections). Other zones of less significant Cu-Au mineralization have been located along strike.

The above results were summarized from the SMDI descriptions and assessment reports filed with the Saskatchewan government. SKRR cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person, but form a basis for ongoing work at the Manson Bay Project. Further work (including drilling) is required by SKRR in order to verify the historical work on the Manson Bay Project. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties.

QA/QC:

Samples were sent for geochemical analysis with ALS Global, Vancouver, B.C. for the following analyses: 48 element four-acid ICP-MS (ME-MS61) and gold (Au) 50 g Fire Assay - AA finish (Au-AA24). Samples that returned over 5ppm Au by Au-AA24 were re-analysed using gold (Au) 50g Fire Assay - Gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22). Samples that returned over-detection limit for Pb and Zn by ME-MS61 were re-analysed using four-acid ICP-AES (ME-OG62).

On receipt of final certificates of analysis, the QA/QC sample results were reviewed to ensure the order of samples were reported correctly, that the blanks ran clean, and that the results for each standard had minimal variance from its certified value. QA/QC for the Manson Bay Drilling Program included certified reference material ("CRMs") and blanks that were inserted into each sample batch in order to verify the analytical from the lab. ALS labs is an independent certified laboratory and is independent of the Company and the Qualified Person. The Company detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data. The Company is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
