About the Company

Firesteel is a junior mining company with a near production gold mine in Finland.   The mine is fully built, fully permitted and financed to production via a gold forward sale. Production is scheduled to start in the 4 th quarter of 2018.

A recently released PEA was conducted by John T. Boyd Company  of Denver, Colorado (“Boyd”).

Summary of the PEA results include:

Other Highlights include:

• - Pre-production capex $7,115,103

  - 75,981 ounces of average annual gold production at a cash cost of $863 per ounce and AISC of $974 per ounce

  - Measured mineral resources of 355,000 tonnes at 1.132 g/t Au and Indicated mineral resources of 3,442,000 tonnes at 1.248 g/t Au 1

  - Inferred mineral resources of 9,030,000 tonnes at 1.531 g/t Au 1

  - Mill grade of 1.45 grams per tonne with a recovery of 90.4%

  - Life of Mine production of 456,600 ounces gold over a 6-year mine life

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that PEA results will be realized. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Disclosure: Companies typically rely on comprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates to reduce the risks and uncertainties associated with a production decision.  The Company has not completed a feasibility study on, nor has the Company completed a mineral reserve estimate at the Laiva Mine and as such the financial and technical viability is deemed to have higher risk than if this work had been completed.  Based on historical engineering and geological reports, historical production data and current engineering work completed or in process by Firesteel, the Company intends to move forward with the development of this asset.

The Company further cautions that it is not basing any production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, and therefore there is a much greater risk of failure associated with its production decision. In addition, readers are cautioned that inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.

Firesteel currently has one highly prospective property in British Colombia.

The Star property is currently operated under a Joint Venture agreement between Firesteel (49%) and Prosper Gold. (TSX-V: PGX) (51%).
