Red Cliff Property

On its 65% owned Red Cliff property, Decade as operator has completed 36 drill holes in the area of the Waterpump zone. Twenty four holes were drilled on the zone itself as well as 12 holes testing the gold bearing structure on the property. The holes drilled on the Waterpump were successful in intersecting the zone. Photos of core from DDH-MON-18-21 and DDH-MON-18-22 are shown in the photo gallery in the Red Cliff section of the company website (https://decaderesources.ca/news/projects/red-cliff-property). This afore mentioned mineralization was intersected over 10 m of core length in both holes.

Highlights of assays obtained during the 2017 drill program on the Waterpump include:

• Intersection of 13.88 g/t gold over 7.5 m in DDH-17-M0N-38.
• Intersection of 10.41 g/t gold over 22.87 m in DDH-17-M0N-40.
• Intersection of 7.21 g/t gold over 7.16 m in DDH-17-M0N-41.

High priority samples have been sent to an accredited lab for assays. The Company looks forward to reporting results in the coming weeks.

The drill has been relocated to the north side of Lydden Creek and will continue testing the Montrose zone. Drilling is designed to expand and extend on results at the northern most drilling at depth. Drilling will be north of and below the following drill hole intersections:

• Intersection of 5.18 g/t gold over 12.65 m in DDH-09-M0N-11.
• Intersection of 11.0 g/t gold over 6.86 m in DDH-11-M0N-06.
