CREST RESOURCES INC. SUBSIDIARY AUSVAN BATTERY METALS EXPANDS DRILLING ON THE ALLARU VANADIUM PROJECT, AND SCHEDULES CONFERENCE CALL

Crest Resources Inc. has increased its March 29, 2021, drill program to 42 drill holes from the original 35 that were planned. Based on the favourable stratigraphic lithologies intersected in the first 29 drill holes at the Allaru vanadium project, AusVan Battery Metals Pty. Ltd. has expanded the drill program to the northwest to include additional shallow shale-hosted vanadium targets. Crest holds a 60-per-cent interest in Allaru through AusVan, its 60-per-cent-owned Australian subsidiary.

The Allaru project is a resource-stage vanadium deposit with additional potential for high-purity alumina (HPA), located in central Queensland, Australia.

Crest has scheduled a conference call on May 19, 2021, to discuss the value and opportunities in the vanadium sector in relation to the development of the Allaru deposit located in Queensland, Australia. Conference call details can be found herein.

President Michael Collins commented: "Crest is pleased with the results of the initial drilling at Allaru and has expanded the program as we move to define additional oxidized vanadium resources. We see tremendous opportunity in AusVan to be a part of the green energy market. AusVan is yet another of our projects that are building value for our shareholders."

The Allaru vanadium deposit is hosted in the shallow-dipping vanadium shale of the Toolebuc formation. The Toolebuc formation is projected to break surface on a north-northwest-trending arch that crosses the claim package. The current drilling is focused on the extension of known vanadium-enriched shales, where it is expected to encounter oxidized vanadium shale.

Allaru vanadium project

Covering 1,088 square kilometres, the Allaru vanadium project is located 80 kilometres north of Julia Creek in central Queensland, Australia. The base metals mining centre of Mount Isa and the regional airport are located 230 kilometres to the west. The Mount Isa rail network passes through Julia Creek with connections to Charters Towers and Townsville and Port Abbot at Bowen, allowing for low-cost shipping. The area has a hot, dry climate with flat-lying topography and is easily accessible by road and near existing power.

As part of its purchase, AusVan also holds rights to an advanced metallurgical process flow sheet designed for an adjacent prefeasibility-study-level vanadium/HPA project, which also targets Toolebuc formation vanadium shale and is located 40 kilometres southwest of the Allaru project. The chemistry of the vanadium shale of these two projects is very similar in major and minor elements. AusVan has commissioned Brisbane Met Lab to conduct bench-scale metallurgical work seeking to optimize the process for recovery of vanadium from Allaru vanadium shale.
