White Sulphur Springs, Montana– July 25, 2018 –Sandfire Resources America Inc. (“Sandfire America” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update on activities at the Black Butte Copper underground project in Montana.

Metallurgical Drilling and Test Work

The 2018 Spring drilling program focused on recovering mineralized core for further metallurgical test work.  16 large-diameter (114 mm diameter) diamond drill holes dispersed throughout the Upper Copper Zone (“UCZ”) of the Johnny Lee deposit provided representative samples for metallurgical testing. These holes also delivered further clarification of the geology within the UCZ.

A total of 2,011 kilograms of mineralized core has been prepared for metallurgical testing at Base Metallurgical Laboratories (“BML”) in Kamloops, British Columbia.  BML are world-wide recognized experts in base metal froth flotation recovery testing.  The results of this test work will support the design of the proposed process flow sheet for the processing plant which is an integral component of the Bankable Feasibility Study, and will allow modelling of recoverable copper within the mineralized zones to optimize scheduling.

Two additional diamond drill holes pierced the Lower Copper Zone (“LCZ”) of the Johnny Lee deposit and improved knowledge of this zone.

An additional three diamond drill holes were completed outside the known mineralized zones to investigate areas of planned future facilities.

See Table 1. below for results from drill intersections through the UCZ and LCZ and associated drill hole locations on Maps 1 and 2.

Table 1. Black Butte Copper 2018 Spring Drilling Program Intersections of the Johnny Lee Deposit

*UCZ intercept calculations included a minimum of 3.0 metres above 1.5 % cutoff grade, with maximum of 5.0 metres internal waste.
*LCZ intercept calculations included a minimum of 1.5 metres above 1.5 % cutoff grade, with maximum of 1.5 metres internal waste.

Drilling in the Upper Copper Zone was conducted sampling PQ-sized core. Drilling in the Lower Copper Zone was conducted collecting HQ3-sized core. Drill holes were oriented with dips varying between vertical (-90) to -55 degrees in relatively flat-lying to slightly dipping mineral zones. Intercepts may be slightly longer than true thickness.

All Upper Copper Zone (UCZ) mineralized zones were sampled whole and delivered to Base Metallurgical Labs (BML) in Kamloops BC for processing.  BML crushed the entire sample to 85% passing 2mm then split off 1kg, which was ground to 85% passing 75 micron and delivered to ALS Global Labs in Vancouver BC. ALS Global wet-sieved the split to insure grinding passed specifications and then assayed for gold by fire assay with AA finish. Base metals were analyzed using a 4-acid digestion and ICP-AES analysis. Various other trace and major elements were also analyzed utilizing ICP and XRF procedures. Sandfire America utilized a QA/QC protocol which included inserting Certified Reference Materials (CRM) on a minimum of 1 CRM in 20 samples insertion rate.  ALS Global included assays of duplicates, standards, and blanks for QA/QC purposes.

All Lower Copper Zone samples were taken from ½ splits of the HQ3 core and shipped directly to ALS Global Lab in Reno NV. The samples were crushed to 85% passing 2mm size, split down and then ground to 85% passing 75 micron size. These pulps were then assayed utilizing same processes and procedures as described above for the UCZ samples. The same QA/QC procedures were utilized as well.

ALS Global labs are accredited to ISO/IEC 170205:2017 methods for North America

Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”)

Preparations are well advanced for the Black Butte Copper underground project BFS.  In addition to the metallurgical work discussed above, the Company has contracted SRK Consulting to complete a review of the structural geology of the property, utilizing historic data and new stratigraphic modeling completed by the in-house geological team.    Combined with the existing resource modelling, this work will provide the basis for the initial underground design work.

Other packets of work for the BFS are being prepared for issuance for tender with a target completion date of the June Quarter 2019.

Permitting Progress

Preparation of the Environmental Impact Study (“EIS”) under the watchful eye of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) is progressing.  A draft EIS may be available for public comment in the fall of 2018.

The draft air permit was issued by the DEQ in June and will be incorporated into the EIS.  In May, the Company received notification from DEQ that its MPDES (Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) water quality permit application has no further deficiencies.

Corporate Activities

In June, the Company completed a simplification restructuring removing two unnecessary subsidiaries and, in the process, released US$1.15 million of restricted funds.  Following the simplification, the Company now has one wholly owned subsidiary, Tintina Montana Inc, which in turn wholly owns the Black Butte Copper underground project.

Management is currently considering a Rights Issue to fund ongoing permitting costs, the BFS and future drilling activities.

Interim CEO and VP of Project Development Rob Scargill stated, “The Company is pleased to see the Black Butte Copper underground project progressing in such a consistently positive direction.  We look forward to reaching the construction phase of this project and implementing our vision, which is consistent with our community’s stewardship council’s vision, of a project that has a net positive effect economically, socially, and environmentally.”

White Sulphur Springs, Montana– September 19, 2017 – Tintina Resources, Inc. (“Tintina” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a draft operating permit from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“MT DEQ”) Hard Rock Mining Bureau. This draft permit formally concludes the Completeness & Compliance review and signifies commencement of the Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”). The MT DEQ is finalizing the selection of an independent third-party contractor to prepare a comprehensive EIS which will include all procedural and substantive elements of the Montana Environmental Policy Act. The EIS is expected to take approximately one year to complete.

In addition to the draft operating permit, the Montana Public Service Commission on September 1, 2017 approved an agreement between Fergus Electric Cooperative and NorthWestern Energy to provide power to the Black Butte Copper project. Fergus Electric will construct a new 100-kV transmission line and substation which will draw from an existing NorthWestern transmission facility. Under the terms of the agreement, Tintina will be responsible for the total cost of construction of the new power transmission line.

The proposed underground mine is designed to provide economic opportunity to Central Montana while fully protecting the Smith River Watershed. A summary of the Mine Operating Permit Application can be found on our website www.tintinaresources.com in the transparency library along with a 3D animation of the planned project showing what the site will look like during mining operations and after full site reclamation.

The Black Butte Copper Project will be a major contributor to the economy of Central Montana and entire state. The direct payroll alone will be in excess $12 million per year.  Based on the current price of copper of around $3.00/lb., the Black Butte Project will enhance Meagher County and the State of Montana’s tax base by paying taxes of over $6 million per year through the Metals Mines Tax, Gross Proceeds Tax, and Montana Corporate Tax; Meagher County alone will receive $3 million per year from these taxes. Another $8 Million will be paid in federal corporate taxes. In addition, all-important business equipment taxes paid by the Company, personal income tax paid by an estimated 240 employees, and additional contractor pay and input cost will greatly help the Montana economy.

Jerry Zieg, Senior VP shared, “The granting of the draft permit acknowledges that through our mine design we have de-risked all possible environmental impacts, a significant achievement we are very proud of.  In addition, the power transmission line could potentially form a significant infrastructure upgrade to our community of White Sulphur Springs and will the increase the tax base.”

John Shanahan, CEO stated, “The support we continue to receive from businesses and rural communities in Montana has been outstanding. We remain 100% committed to bringing this extraordinary project to fruition while meeting our very clear commitment to environmental stewardship. Exhaustive technical studies to date show we can operate in an environmentally sounds way while protecting our environment. We can and will do this while providing important economic opportunities for Montana.”

White Sulphur Springs, Montana- August 14, 2017 – Tintina Resources, Inc. (“Tintina” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received notification from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“MT DEQ”) that the Black Butte Copper Mine Operating Permit (“MOP”) is now considered to be Complete and Compliant in accordance with all state rules and regulations relating to the operating plan of its proposed underground copper mine in Meagher County, Montana.

The permitting process now moves to the development of a comprehensive Environmental Impact Study (EIS). The selection of an independent and third party EIS contractor and issuance of a draft Mine Operating Permit are in the final stages and the EIS is expected to commence within the next 30 days. The EIS process, scheduled to take approximately twelve months, will include public input through a public comment process and will be a comprehensive analysis of project alternatives as required under the Montana Environmental Policy Act (“MEPA”). In addition, the Company is required to obtain other state operating permits including a Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) permit, an Air Quality permit, and a Public Water Supply permit. The Company will also complete a Hard Rock Mining Impact Plan as required by Montana statute. A Federal Clean Water Act 404 permit is also currently in process. Upon completion, the Company’s goal is that the EIS will result in a Final Record of Decision allowing construction and development of this underground mine on private ranch land in Meagher County.

A summary of the MOP can be found on our website www.blackbuttecopper.com along with a 3D animation of the planned project showing what the site will look like before and during mining operations as well as after reclamation. The proposed underground mine, located 15 miles north of White Sulphur Springs, is designed to provide economic opportunity to Central Montana while fully protecting the Smith River Watershed:

• All designed openings and entry points to the underground mine are located well above the water table.
• Surface irrigation rights have been leased for instream flow to ensure there is no change to the water levels in Sheep Creek.
• A reverse osmosis water treatment plant will treat water on-site from construction through reclamation, and will return clean water back to the same ground water system through a buried infiltration system. The water treatment plant will remain active as long as needed to ensure all water involved in the operation meets Montana’s strict non-degradation water standards through reclamation and closure.
• Our mining plan fills all underground mined areas in the copper deposit with paste backfill ensuring that only a small percentage of the underground mine is open at any given time and that no large open spaces are left underground.
• Mill tailings that are not returned underground (approx. 55%) have cement added to them and will be placed in a double-lined facility. This innovative use of existing mine technology eliminates windblown dust and prevents acid runoff. Any un-milled rock brought to surface will be stored here. During reclamation, the cemented tailings facility will be sealed with another liner, covered with several feet of cover and original top soil and returned to grazing.
• Our reclamation plan returns the entire site to agricultural and cattle grazing with no treatment of water in perpetuity necessary.

John Shanahan, CEO stated, “This has been a long and involved process, and we now can clearly demonstrate that the development and operation of this state-of-the-art project meets and exceeds all state rules and regulations. Our objective is very clear; to responsibly develop this project and provide both economic opportunity and complete protection of the environment. The ongoing support and vision of our major shareholder, Sandfire Resources, along with the unwavering support of White Sulphur Springs and surrounding communities has made this all possible. We also gratefully thank the Montana DEQ for their thorough and exacting review.”

Jerry Zieg, VP of Exploration closed by stating, “This is a real milestone for Tintina, the Black Butte Copper Project, and the residents of Meagher County and surrounding counties. Everyone has worked diligently for years, both managing and carrying out extensive supporting studies, and communicating their constant and strong support for the project. The Tintina team, both staff and third party contractors, are leading the world in showing how to build a mine which will exceed regulations at all levels in true comprehensive environmental protection while providing a much needed economic boon to the state of Montana. All of us can be very proud of this accomplishment.”

White Sulphur Springs, Montana– June 9, 2017 – Tintina Resources, Inc. (“Tintina” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a third round of response comments from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MT DEQ) with regards to its’ submission in the Complete and Compliant portion of the Black Butte Copper Mine Operating Permit (“MOP”) process.

The MT DEQ has identified a few remaining issues which require clarification. Once the project has achieved Complete and Compliant status, a draft Mine Operating Permit will be transmitted and the process moves forward to the next step in the permitting process; a full Environmental Impact Study (EIS). The EIS will be a comprehensive third party review of the MOP and will result in a Final Record of Decision. In addition, the Company will be required to attain other permits such as Air Quality, Public Water Supply, and a Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (MPDES). A Clean Water Act 404 permit is currently in process.

A summary of the MOP can be found on our website www.blackbuttecopper.com along with a 3D animation of the planned project showing what the site will look like before and during mining operations as well as after reclamation.

The proposed underground mine is designed to provide economic opportunity to Central Montana while fully protecting the Smith River Watershed:

1. All designed openings and entry points to the underground mine are located well above the water table preventing water from ever leaving the mine.
2. Surface irrigation rights have been leased for instream flow to ensure there is no change to the water levels in Sheep Creek.
3. A reverse osmosis water treatment plant will treat water on-site from construction through reclamation, and will return clean water back to the same ground water system through a buried infiltration system. The water treatment plant will remain active as long as needed to ensure all water involved in the operation meets Montana’s non-degradation water standards through reclamation and closure.
4. Our mining plan fills all underground mined areas in the copper deposit through paste/backfill ensuring that only a small percentage of the underground mine is open at any given time and that no large open spaces are left underground. There will be no subsidence from surface.
5. Mill tailings that are not returned underground (approx. 55%) have cement added to them and will be placed in a double-lined facility. This innovative use of existing
   mine technology eliminates windblown dust and prevents acid runoff. Any unmilled
   rock brought to surface will be stored here. During reclamation, the cemented tailings
   facility will be sealed with another liner, covered with several feet of cover and
   original top soil and returned to grazing.
6. Our reclamation plan returns the entire site to the traditional use of cattle grazing
7. with no treatment of water in perpetuity necessary.

John Shanahan, CEO stated, “An incredible effort has been put forward by the Tintina team
with the oversight and review from the Montana DEQ. We have produced an industry
leading underground mining plan that ensures we can have both; protecting our pristine
environment while providing economic opportunity in Meagher County and Central
Montana. We greatly appreciate the support and guidance from our major shareholders,
Sandfire Resources NL and The Electrum Group.LLC. We remain committed and focused
to bringing the extraordinary project to fruition.”

Jerry Zieg, VP of Exploration closed by stating, “I am amazed at and thankful for the support
we have received from my home community. I’m proud that we have created a project that
fits our community while successfully protects traditional uses of our watershed and
safeguards the environment; all while providing tremendous economic opportunities for
Central Montana.”

The first phase of permitting the Black Butte Copper project continues to move forward. Some people have recently asked; did the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MT DEQ) reject our permit? Headlines and social media commentary might lead the public to believe that our project’s been halted. That is not the case, and here is what actually is happening.

A few sessions ago, the legislature added a Completeness and Compliance (C&C) phase to the mine operating permitting process which would precede the Environmental Impact Study (EIS).  The C&C phase ensures that the draft application is very robust to ensure that the EIS process can be completed in a year or less, as the new law stipulates.  Barrick’s Golden Sunlight expansion, Stillwater’s East Boulder project, and the Montana Resources tailings modification have all gone through the new process.   As the first new major mining operation to apply for a permit in 30 years, our project must also go through this process!

The C&C process is a “back and forth” process between the company seeking a permit and the MT DEQ, which has the final say on whether or not a company has presented a sufficient application to obtain a draft Mine Operating Permit. This process allows the MT DEQ to request additional information to help support their final decision, including additional environmental tests, groundwater assessments, geochemical information, and specific design plans sufficient to mitigate impacts.  The MT DEQ requests are termed ‘deficiency letters’, which simply means they need more information or clarification to questions.

This is all information we have been happy to provide. We are confident that this review process will improve our ability to gain a permit once the EIS is complete. Already, we’ve gone above and beyond what is required by law, and will continue this as we progress.   The first 90 day review was at a very high level.   The second 90 day review dives into many important details.  Commonly, the C&C process requires several iterations of MT DEQ questions and applicant response, and we believe the detail addressed by the MT DEQ to date will help reduce the number of these.

The MT DEQ is exercising the due diligence needed to ensure that they can fully support their decision to grant a permit based on our application, which, thanks to the C&C process, will assuredly meet and exceed all of the laws of Montana related to mine permitting.

There’s no telling how much more information we’ll be asked to provide, but we’ve already added significantly to our application in our responses to requests by the MT DEQ.

Our application is available in our office for anyone to come and read through. Just make sure you set aside several hours to do so – it is now about 450 pages long with over 6000 pages of appendix!!!!
