Strategic Investment by Eric Sprott

Tyler Ruks, President and CEO of ArcWest commented:
"We are pleased that Eric Sprott has participated in our Offering and we welcome him as shareholder of ArcWest. Eric Sprott is heavily involved with Tudor Gold and Teuton Resources, that with American Creek Resources collectively own the Treaty Creek project, a highly prospective gold-silver-copper project located proximal to Seabridge Gold's giant KSM-Iron Cap porphyry copper-gold deposit. ArcWest's Todd Creek and Oweegee Dome porphyry copper-gold projects are located approximately 30 km south and east of Treaty Creek, respectively. The 2020 drill program at Treaty Creek has intercepted significant gold-silver+/-copper mineralization, resulting in exceptional returns for Tudor Gold and Teuton Resources shareholders. Eric Sprott's strategic investment in ArcWest highlights the discovery potential of our Golden Triangle and B.C. based porphyry copper-gold projects.
"ArcWest's 2020 exploration program is in full swing. The first phase drill test of our Todd Creek porphyry copper-gold project has commenced, funded by partner P2 Gold (previously Central Timmins Exploration Corp.). Subject to COVID19 travel restrictions, ArcWest's Teeta Creek porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold project on northern Vancouver Island is scheduled to undergo drill testing this fall, with early stage exploration being conducted on our nearby NVI porphyry copper discovery; all funded by partner Teck Resources. ArcWest's Oxide Peak porphyry copper-gold project, located just 3 km east of Benchmark Metal's Lawyers project, is currently undergoing geophysical surveys (induced polarization and airborne magnetics), bedrock mapping and geochemical sampling, funded by partner TDG Gold. Discussions with potential partners for earn-in and joint venture agreements on additional ArcWest projects are ongoing."
