Managing Director Shows Further Support and Increases Shareholding

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2020 / Orsu Metals Corporation (TSXV:OSU) ("Orsu" or the "Company") reports that Sergei Stefanovich, the Managing Director of the Company, has privately acquired 1,276,162 common shares of the Company increasing his holdings to a total of 12,284,452 common shares.

Stefanovich commented on the reason for him increasing his shareholding in Orsu: "Given the recently filed NI43-101 Technical Report on the Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Sergeevskoe Property, Zabaikalskiy Krai, Russian Federation" dated effective January 9, 2020 (the "Sergeevskoe Report") we have no doubt that it is possible to further grow this deposit as the system remains widely open to the west and north and I continue to show my support. The Company expects to receive a permit that will allow it to commence pilot mining activities and conduct a bulk metallurgical test as early as late summer this year. The Company will be updating the shareholders on its current operating and permitting activities shortly."

Prior to the acquisition, Mr. Stefanovich owned or controlled 11,008,290 common shares of the Company representing 25.7% of the issued and outstanding shares and 26.9% assuming the exercise of 715,000 stock options (the "Options") held by Mr. Stefanovich.

Mr. Stefanovich has a long-term view of the investment and may acquire additional securities either on the open market or through private acquisitions or sell the securities either on the open market or through private dispositions in the future depending on market conditions, reformulation of plans and/or other relevant factors.
