Walcott Resources Ltd. to Expedite Exploration Program on the Tyr Silver Project in Northern New South Wales

Vancouver, November 4, 2020 - Walcott Resources Ltd. (CSE: WAL) (FSE: WR2) (OTC Pink: WALRF) (the "Company" or "Walcott") is pleased to announce its technical team in Australia is now preparing a detailed exploration plan for the Tyr Silver Project in northern New South Wales.

Highlights

• Subsequent to the August 13, 2020 news release announcing the acquisition of two Australian silver projects, Walcott has commissioned its Australian technical team to expedite exploration work on the prospective Tyr Silver Project.

• Building on previous work, the technical team is fast-tracking plans for a site visit to review previously determined prospective silver targets in order to formulate an inaugural drilling campaign.

• Within the Tyr Silver Project are the two historic silver mines (Burra and Torny) which both produced silver, zinc and lead between 1920-35¹: Adjacent to both historic mines are priority areas earmarked for extensive surface sampling and geophysical surveys to reconcile historic data sets and geological reports¹.

• A distinctive quality of the Tyr Silver Project is numerous mineral occurrences along a north-west trend that is 20 km in length and 4 km wide¹.

• The proximity, geology and mineralization patterns indicate that the north-west trend could potentially be part of a mineralized system¹ - including the historic silver mines.

CEO David Thornley-Hall remarked: "The fact there are two historic silver mines and numerous reported mineral occurrences, potentially within a 20 km by 4 km potentially mineralized system, suggests that a considerable future pipeline of work is warranted. Leveraging earlier work, we aim to rapidly deploy field teams to the Tyr Silver Project to commence reviewing preliminary targets and accelerate the formulation of our inaugural drilling campaign."

A COMPELLING SILVER STORY

The Tyr Silver Project, located in northern New South Wales, Australia, covers an area of approximately 300 km2 comprised of hilly pastoral land, mostly cleared and lightly forested.

• There are two historic silver mines (Burra and Torny) on the property with polymetallic veins from which historical sampling suggests the potential for high-grade silver¹;

• Previous work on the property suggests the polymetallic veins may range in width from approximately 0.5m to 2.5m;

• There are single and/or multiple polymetallic vein-lode zones that are structurally controlled and commonly fractured to locally brecciated;

• The property is prospective for other base metals including zinc and lead, while tin was mined historically; and,

• Current efforts will focus on generating potential targets for drill testing subject to site visit verification.

Currently, the technical team continues to re-validate historic mine and exploration records in order to determine the course for the first phase of exploration (Figure 1).

Historic silver mines

Both silver mines, which were last in operation 80-90 years ago, reportedly produced silver-zinc and lead^1,2 though historic records do not provide adequate details to reliably determine grades.

However, the historic records do report that numerous observations and rock chips samples^1,2 were taken around the two mines, enabling the following to be determined:

• Torny Silver Mine: mineralization may extend over a 600m strike extent and be open at depth¹; and,

• Burra Silver Mine: Field work in 2013 identified new potential targets for drill testing that was not carried out¹.

North-west mineralized trend

Interestingly, early mining activities from last century illustrated a series of mine shafts oriented in a north-west direction, which indicated a potential mineralized trend¹ (Figure 1). Notably, mine shafts are reported to depths of around 9m, with high-grade mineralization near-surface¹.

A closer look at the underlying fundamentals, notably the proximity, geology, mineralization occurrences and patterns, suggest there is a potentially mineralized system 20 km long and 4 km wide¹.

Other than proximity to the historic silver mines, further evidence supporting this theory, includes historic rock chips assays^1,2 that require verification via the current work program.

Next steps: Expediting exploration plans

The results from the assessment and interpretation of extensive historic data, and the indicative north-west trending mineralized system enhance the Tyr Silver Project's potential.

Consequently, the technical team in Australia is in the process of rapidly formulating an impactful exploration plan which will shortly see a team deployed to site. In advance of drill target generation, the objective will be to evaluate the two silver mines and other priority targets, as identified from review of the historic data.
