Vancouver, British Columbia, March 18, 2021 – Huntsman Exploration Inc. (TSXV: HMAN; US:BBBMF) (the “Company” or “Huntsman”) is pleased to provide the following update on the Company’s Phase I,  2021 drilling program at its Canegrass Nickel project in Western Australia.

Phase I drilling – samples and assays: A total of approximately 760 drilling samples have now been submitted to Intertek Genalysis in Perth for full spectrum analysis. These include:

• 360 samples from Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill holes. Initial results will be compiled as received over the coming days. 
• 400 samples from diamond drill holes with significant portions on a prioritized schedule.  Initial results are expected by March 20-21.

Due to the large numbers of samples being analyzed, it is anticipated that complete results will be available for dissemination the week of March 22 following QA/QC verification by Newexco and Company geologists.  

The Company is also pleased to confirm that the survey team – responsible for downhole EM surveys of the recently completed holes and the new MLEM survey – is on schedule to complete the downhole work by months end.  These results, along with the complete assays, will allow for detailed planning for Phase II operations.

Peter Dickie, President and CEO for Huntsman, commented, “Nickel sulphides deposits are well positioned to benefit from continued global decarbonization and EV battery development, as a result, Huntsman is moving rapidly forward with the Canegrass project. All samples from our Phase I drilling operations have been submitted to the lab, and we look forward to receiving the complete assays, as well as analysis from our electro-magnetic surveys, in preparation for Phase II drilling.”
