Star Metro - Armory Mining Corp to Conduct Data Compilation and Multispectral Antimony-Gold Exploration Program at the Ammo Property, Nova Scotia

This program has begun under contract to consultants Avant Exploration with compilation of regional and local geological, geophysical and geochemical maps, editable datasets, reports and any complimentary information which will be used to create a GIS database and proprietary maps for Armory Mining Corp.

Avant Exploration will also download available multispectral satellite imagery (e.g. ASTER, Landsat, Sentinel, ALOS, etc.) to evaluate its potential to be processed and analyzed for potentially creating new exploration targets, despite the local vegetative cover. Assuming useful images can be identified, multispectral analysis based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA), images from three multispectral satellites (Sentinel-2 MSI, Landsat-8, and ASTER), as well as radar from the ALOS PALSAR sensor to create a digital terrain model (DTM), will be used to identify new PCA targets worthy of follow-up field inspection.

Armory holds an option agreement to acquire 100% interest in the 3,092-hectare Ammo Exploration Property which is located adjacent to and surrounding the past-producing West Gore antimony-gold mine in central Nova Scotia, located approximately 45 kilometres north-northwest of the provincial capital of Halifax (Fig. 1). Production from the adjacent historical West Gore antimony-gold mine dates from the early 1880s to 1917. The historical mine workings and subsequent evaluations include multiple shafts, eight underground levels and at least 70 drill holes.

"We're eager to begin what we feel is a methodical and detailed exploration strategy at Ammo," said Alex Klenman, CEO of Armory Mining. "The more data we can analyze the greater chance we can identify priority drill targets. This first phase of work will provide critical data and can potentially expedite our drill plans."

Debt Settlement and Grant of RSUs and Options
The Company also announces that it intends to settle approximately $50,000 in debt owed to a former officer of the Company by issuing 333,333 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.15 per share.

The Company intends to complete the debt settlement to preserve the Company's cash for working capital and improve its financial position by reducing its existing liabilities. The debt is owed by the Company to a former officer of the Company. The debt settlement is expected to close shortly, subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, finalizing all contractual documentation and receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, as applicable, including compliance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE").

The Company has also granted an aggregate of 100,000 stock options and 2,550,000 restricted share units ("RSUs") to a director and consultants of the Company pursuant to its amended and restated stock option plan. The stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.17 per share and expire five years from the date of grant. The RSUs will vest in four months from the grant date.
