Orsu Metals Obtains a Permit for Pilot Mining at Sergeevskoe Project, Russia

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 11, 2020 / Orsu Metals Corporation (TSXV:OSU) ("Orsu" or the "Company") is pleased to report that:

• On June 9, 2020, the Russian Subsoil Agency Commission on Mining has approved the technical report on the Sergeevskoe project that allows the Company to begin pilot mining;

• This effectively represents a permit to begin mining after registration with the Russian Subsoil Agency;

• The Company can mine 1,050,000 tons of mineralized material for up to 3 years in order to establish essential elements of the project such as optimal flowsheet, achievable recoveries, mining loss and dilution among other things;

• The Company expects that, as an added benefit of the pilot mining project, it will conceivably generate enough cash to fund exploration to grow the deposit base and advance the project without dilution to its shareholders; and

• Orsu Metals expects that pilot mining will begin in late summer 2020.

Dr. Sergey V Kurzin, the Executive Chairman commented: "The receipt of the permit to mine is a major step towards early production at Sergeevskoe property. We are now negotiating the commercial aspects of pilot mining with our contractors and expect that all other elements to begin mining will fall into place in late July or August."
