This document corrects and replaces the press release that was sent on May 31, 2017 at 07:30 a.m. ET.

Crystal Peak Minerals Inc. ("Crystal Peak" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CPM)(OTCQX:CPMMF) today announced receipt of a Utah High Cost Infrastructure Tax Credit ("Infrastructure Tax Credit") issued by the Utah Office of Energy Development. The non-refundable Infrastructure Tax Credit awarded to Crystal Peak totals approximately $112,500,000 (USD).

"The State of Utah has once again demonstrated unwavering support for our project," said Lance D'Ambrosio, Chief Executive Officer of Crystal Peak. "The value of the incentive represents approximately one-third of the project's capital expenditures as projected by the Company's preliminary feasibility study. In providing this extremely significant tax credit, the state has shown how it can partner with companies like Crystal Peak to improve infrastructure and bring hundreds of jobs to rural Utah."

The Infrastructure Tax Credit is a post-performance credit issued against state business taxes in Utah. The purpose of the credit is to support the development of infrastructure in underserved areas and to bring jobs to rural Utah. It provides an incentive for costs incurred by certain business types over a twenty-year period for up to 50% of "qualifying infrastructure" that is put in place or improved by these businesses. Qualifying infrastructure is defined as, among other things, improvements such as electric power transmission lines, natural gas transmission lines, power substations, rail facilities, road improvements, and certain types of water projects.

"We are committed to the responsible development of Utah's abundant natural resources," said Dr. Laura Nelson, the governor's energy advisor and executive director of the Governor's Office of Energy Development. "Supporting infrastructure investment for projects such as Crystal Peak is important for delivering on the opportunities for efficient and sustainable development, providing new jobs and economic growth to communities across the state."

Steve Styler, Government Relations Director for Crystal Peak and a local attorney in Delta, UT added; "The Utah Office of Energy Development has been absolutely terrific to work with during this entire process. Also, the Crystal Peak team, including Blake Measom, Woods Silleroy, and Dean Pekeski did some amazing work in pursuing and securing this extremely valuable credit."
