Calgary, Canada March 16, 2021– Crestview Exploration Inc. (CSE: CRS, Frankfurt: CE7) (“Crestview” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has staked an additional 40 claims at the recently acquired Cimarron gold prospect (“Cimarron” or the “Property”). For details of the Cimarron property acquisition and/or for a more detailed description of the Cimarron gold prospect, the reader is referred to the news release titled “Crestview Exploration Inc. Acquires a Lease with Option to Purchase on the Cimarron Gold Prospect in Nye County – Nevada” and dated February 24, 2021.

The Cimarron gold prospect is a high-grade epithermal gold target associated with the historic San Antonio mine. The prospect is located in Nye County, Nevada approximately 30 kilometers North of the mining town Tonopah, NV (see Map 1 below). The property was acquired with 13 unpatented lode claims which overlap and control the 6 historically-producing claims around the San Antonio mine. These six historical claims represent the core of the property. In addition to the San Antonio mine which was active in the early 1900’s, these core claims had approximately 190 holes and 54,000’ drilled in the 1980’s. With the additional 40 claims staked, Crestview now holds 53 claims at the Cimarron project. The new claims were staked on the nearest open ground to the North, East, and South of the core claims (see Map 2 below). J.A. Lowe, Crestview’s Vice-President Exploration, commented “These 40 new claims represent a significant increase to our land position at the Cimarron gold prospect. The data we have reviewed at our core claims suggests that mineralization is strongly associated with North-South structures, and we believe there is opportunity to find extensions of these or parallel structures on the newly staked claims.” Crestview plans to begin conducting mapping, surface sampling, and geophysical surveys on the expanded Cimarron claims this Fall (2021).
