Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 8, 2021) - Voleo Trading Systems Inc. (TSXV: TRAD) ("the Company"") (to be renamed Intrepid Metals Corp.) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent with Selex Resources Ltd. (the "Vendor") to acquire a 100% interest in the Klondike Copper Property located in Nevada, USA (the "Acquisition"). The Klondike Property will add to the Company's portfolio once it closes the option agreement for the drill ready Tombstone South silver/lead/zinc project located in Arizona following final approval of its change of business transaction. The Company is working towards completing the final conditions to its change of business transaction to become a mining issuer. The final material condition is the closing of the concurrent financing which the Company now expects will be completed in Q1, 2022.

"We are excited to be adding another intriguing project to our portfolio," says Mark Morabito, Executive Chairman of the Company. "Our objective is to continue to assemble a first-class suite of prospective projects in the US Southwest. The Tombstone silver/lead/zinc project is drill ready now that the Arizona regulators have approved the Plan of Operations for the site. While the drills are turning at Tombstone, Intrepid will embark on a robust exploration program to define drill targets for copper mineralization at Klondike."

Klondike Copper Property

The Klondike Property consists of two blocks totaling 89 unpatented lode claims at the north end of the Paymaster Basin in the General Thomas Hills area, 13 miles West/Southwest of Tonopah, Esmeralda County, Nevada. The claims cover target areas at the center of very large anomalous gravity/ magnetic complex with a roughly triangular configuration approximately 8 kilometers ("km") by 6 km in size: one of the largest in the Great Basin province. These are typical geophysical signatures of buried intrusive centers and potential hosts for porphyry copper deposits.

In addition to the magnetic- and gravity-high anomalies, the Klondike Property has several other distinct surface signatures of porphyry-style mineralization including peripheral precious metal-rich copper, lead and zinc veins, stockwork quartz veining cutting porphyry intrusions and sedimentary rocks and distal disseminated gold mineralization hosted in calcareous siltstones. The quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes, sills and plugs intruding Palaeozoic sediments and Mesozoic diorite are probably of Tertiary age, as is the case of the world class Bingham Canyon, Ely and Battle Mountain copper deposits elsewhere in the Great Basin province.

Recent mapping on the Klondike Property has located copper oxides in shallow prospects east and south east of an operating and long producing turquoise mine in some of the numerous prospect workings that occur throughout the claim block. Some are located in outcrops of porphyry intrusions. At least three phases of quartz veining are noted and mineralized samples collected contain anomalous base and precious metals (Copper to 700 parts per million ("ppm"), Silver to 135 ppm, Zinc to 8400 ppm, Lead to 11,400 ppm, Molybdenum to 322 ppm).

In the southern part of the district, approximately 4.5 km south of the base/precious metal workings, a small iron-rich siliceous outcrop is exposed. Four Reverse Circulation ("RC") holes drilled in the early 1990's to the north of the outcrop intersected significant intervals of low grade Carlin-style gold mineralization in silicified Palmetto siltstone. Mineralization is open to the north and worthy of drilling to discover higher gold grades.

Rock samples with assays quoted above were collected by an experienced professional consulting geologist and placed in individual numbered sample bags with descriptions and locations recorded. The samples were delivered directly to American Assay Laboratories (ISO 17025 Accredited and NDEP Approved) in Sparks, Nevada. Samples were prepared by their standard laboratory techniques and assayed using their ICP-5AOQ35 package.

Letter of Intent Details

The terms of the Acquisition require the Company to issue 1,500,000 common shares to the Vendor, pay US$20,000 on closing and US$30,000 on the first anniversary of closing. The completion of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions including execution of a definitive agreement, regulatory approvals and closing of the change of business transaction. The Acquisition is not arm's length as Dr. Anthony Taylor is a director of both the Company and the Vendor. Dr. Taylor has declared his interest in the acquisition and will not participate in the review and approval process for the Acquisition.
