VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 20, 2018 / BTU Capital Corp. ("BTU" or the "Company")
(BTU-TSX:V) announces it is in the process of filing drill permit applications for its Dixie Halo, Dixie Halo South and
Dixie Halo Southeast properties located contiguous to Great Bear Resources Ltd. (GBR-TSX:V)("GBR") Dixie Lake project in Red Lake,
Ontario.
Following a second, successful work program at Dixie Halo South the Company has determined to commence drill permit applications
and looks forward to fast tracking a maiden drill program in the New Year. The recent program consisted of limited sampling and
mapping, a drone survey, and review of assessment files and geological interpretation. The drone survey covered approximately 350
line kilometers over 1700 hectares near the northern property boundary with Great Bear and the interpreted extension of the Great
Bear mineralization trend. The orthophoto from this survey will serve as a base map to improve efficiency in all future exploration
programs on the property, including drilling, sampling, and mapping. Drone survey data is currently being processed in
Vancouver.
BTU President Mike England states "BTU has had the good fortune to expeditiously acquire these projects upon GBR's reporting of
a high-grade discovery of drill core assaying 16.35 meters of 26.91 g/t gold and 7 meters of 44.47 g/t gold in two holes at the
Great Bear's Dixie Project (see PR dated August 22, 2018). Dixie Halo South has become our immediate focus in the area given both
the proximity to GBR's recent discovery plus the amount of data already available on the ground."
