SUDBURY, January 22, 2019 - Supreme Metals Corp. (the "Company" or "Supreme") (CSE: ABJ) (FSE: A68) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement (the "Agreement") with Champion Iron Ltd.

This Agreement provides for a mutually beneficial and efficient regional exploration program for both cobalt and iron occurring on the Bloom Lake East and Bloom Lake Mine Properties. Pursuant to the Agreement, Champion shall undertake exploration for iron at their cost on the licences held by Supreme on the Bloom Lake East Property, and Supreme shall be permitted to undertake exploration for cobalt on the Bloom Lake Mine Property. The Bloom Lake Mine Property includes the area of the Walsh Cobalt Occurrence which has reported historic assays of "running to better than 11.0% cobalt"1. The Agreement also demarcates a budget of at least $100,000 for iron exploration on the Bloom Lake East property and $50,000 for cobalt exploration on the Bloom Lake Iron Mine property. These funds are to be supplied by Champion.

Bob Komarechka, P.Geo, CEO, commented:

"The recent targeting of a large strong magnetic anomaly exhibiting characteristic signatures of an iron formation located in the area of historic grab samples from the Nip West showing assaying from 3.63% to 59.9% soluble iron2 is intriguing. (Note that the value of 59.9% soluble iron should not be considered as representative of the average iron mineralization.) Having this anomaly fortuitously located less than 3 kilometres from Champion's active mill site, is very exciting. Today's signing of an exploration agreement with Champion and their financial commitment acknowledges the significance of this property and its future potential. This agreement will allow Supreme an opportunity to explore the Walsh Cobalt Property with historic assays of 6% Co3 and allow our neighbour, Champion, the right to explore the iron potential of the area using their expertise and existing logistics in the area. I believe this is a win-win situation for both companies and look forward to working with Champion to explore the exciting mineral potential of this area."

"Supreme would also like to acknowledge the Newfoundland Labrador Natural Resources Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) Program, without whose financial support the exploration program leading to this agreement would not have happened."

About the Bloom Lake Property

The Bloom Lake East Property is located near the Labrador, Newfoundland Quebec border between the Bloom Lake iron mine of Champion Iron Mines in Quebec and the Wabush iron Mines of Iron Ore Company of Canada (managed by Rio Tinto) in Labrador.

When originally acquired, the property consisted of 3 separate blocks of 5 licences composed of 84 claims comprising 2,100 hectares. The property was initially acquired for its cobalt potential with the presence of numerous iron occurrences in the area also being recognized. Since review of Supreme’s recent magnetic survey (see press release dated December 19, 2018) Supreme has acquired an additional 4 licences consisting of 21 more claims over areas of potential magnetic anomaly extensions that included 2 additional known iron showings, namely the Sitting Bear #1 and the Sitting Bear #2 containing a discreet manganese bed as a secondary commodity. Additional later claim acquisitions in the area were also undertaken by Champion.

Previous exploration work on the property consisted of rudimentary regional mapping, regional magnetometer surveying and the drilling of several drill holes in the western 2 blocks. The result of the earlier mapping had indicated the presence of the iron ore bearing Sokoman/Wabush Formation on the East Bloom Lake Property. This is the formation from which the iron is mined by the two major mining companies.
