District Receives Permits, Outlines Drilling Plans, and Announces Management Change
(firmenpresse) - February 4, 2021 - District Metals Corp. (TSX-V: DMX) (FRA: DFPP); ("District" or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has obtained all of the necessary permits required to commence a 5,000 m drill program at the Companys high grade polymetallic Tomtebo Property located in the Bergslagen Mining District in south-central Sweden. The required authorizations include an exploration permit from the Bergsstaten (Mining Inspectorate of Sweden), and cultural heritage, environmental, and off-road permits from the County Administrative Board of Dalarna. Drilling at Tomtebo is expected to begin in late-February or early-March.
Garrett Ainsworth, CEO of District, commented: The permitting process for our drill program at Tomtebo went exceptionally well with many thanks to GeoVista AB. Since closing the acquisition of the Tomtebo Property in mid-2020 we have applied a rigorous modern systematic approach to exploration, which has developed some of the most exciting drill targets I have seen in my career. Over the last six months we have obtained positive geophysical, geochemical, and geological data that has been combined with historic data from the former Tomtebo Mine, which shows strong potential for the presence of a large high grade polymetallic mineralized system. It has been over half a century since the former Tomtebo Mine has seen any material drilling, and we are keen to apply todays knowledge to unlock Tomtebos full potential.
Drill Program Objectives
- Follow up on historical drill holes at the former Tomtebo Mine (Figure 1) to confirm significant high grade polymetallic mineralization, and to obtain missing assay data.
- Infill and step-out drilling from significant intercepts of high grade polymetallic mineralization.
- Conduct modern down-hole electromagnetic surveys to assess potential extensions of polymetallic mineralization along strike and at depth.
Drilling Plan
A total of 5,000 m of core drilling in 21 holes is planned at the historic Tomtebo Mine with a focus on the following high priority zones:

Notes:
- True widths of the reported mineralized intervals have not been determined.
- These drill results are historical in nature. District has not undertaken any independent investigation of the sampling nor has it independently analyzed the results of the historical exploration work in order to verify the results. The author of the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Tomtebo Property has completed historical data verification and validation work, and has concluded that the historical drill results at the Tomtebo Mine do not conform to the presently accepted industry standards. District considers these historical drill results relevant as the Company will use this data as a guide to plan future exploration programs. The Company also considers the data to be reliable for these purposes, however, the Company''s future exploration work will include verification of the data through drilling.

About District Metals Corp.
District Metals Corp. is led by industry professionals with a track record of success in the mining industry. The Companys mandate is to seek out, explore, and develop prospective mineral properties through a disciplined science-based approach to create shareholder value and benefit other stakeholders.
The advanced exploration stage Tomtebo Property, located in the Bergslagen Mining District of south-central Sweden, is the Companys main focus. The Tomtebo Property comprises 5,144 ha, and is situated between the historic Falun Mine and Bolidens Garpenberg Mine located 25 km to the northwest and southeast, respectively. Two historic polymetallic mines and numerous polymetallic showings are located on the Tomtebo Property along an approximate 17 km trend that exhibits similar geology, structure, alteration and VMS/SedEx style mineralization as other significant mines within the district. Mineralization that is open at depth and along strike at the historic mines on the Tomtebo Property has not been followed-up and modern systematic exploration has never been conducted on the Property.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information.
This news release contains certain statements that may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. In some cases, but not necessarily in all cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as plans, targets, expects or does not expect, is expected, an opportunity exists, is positioned, estimates, intends, assumes, anticipates or does not anticipate or believes, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might, will or will be taken, occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. In addition, statements in this news release that not historical facts are forward looking statements including anticipated results of future exploration and the results of additional compilation work.
These statements and other forward-looking information are based on assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, including, without limitation, assumptions about the reliability of historical data and the accuracy of publicly reported information regarding past and historic mines in the Bergslagen District the Companys ability to raise sufficient capital to fund planned exploration activities, maintain corporate capacity and satisfy the exploration expenditure requirements required by the definitive purchase agreement between the Company and the vendor of the Tomtebo Property (the "Definitive Purchase Agreement") by the times specified therein (failing which the Tomtebo Property will be forfeited without any repayment to the Company); and stability in financial and capital markets.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results, and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company''s expectations include the risk that historic data regarding the Tomtebo property is unreliable, the risk that information concerning production and mineralization at current and historic mines within the Bergslagen District proves to be inaccurate; the risk that the Company will be unable to raise sufficient capital to finance planned exploration (including incurring prescribed exploration expenditures required by the Definitive Purchase Agreement, failing which the Tomtebo Property will be forfeited without any repayment of the purchase price); future metal prices, general economic, market or business conditions, and other exploration or other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the filings made by the Company with securities regulators, including those described under the heading Risks and Uncertainties in the Companys MD&A for the financial year ended June 30, 2020 and Annual Information form dated October 30, 2020. The Company does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except in accordance with applicable law. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
