Mr. Richard Penn reports

BLACK TUSK TO DRILL PHASE 1-MINIMUM 1000 METRES ON THE MCKENZIE EAST GOLD PROJECT, VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC

Black Tusk Resources Inc.'s exploration team is in the process of developing primary drill targets on its 100-per-cent-owned McKenzie East gold project, located near Val d'Or, Que. The targets will be tested by diamond drilling.

The phase 1 drilling program will consist of a minimum 1,000 metres of diamond drilling, with the initial five drill holes targeting depths between 200 to 300 m downhole. Phase 1 is designed to test the mineralization potential of several gold targets that occur within the northwestern section of the 1,676-hectare property.

The company has acquired a permit that allows for the construction of 18 drill pads spread over the property. The phase 1 drill program is expandable as the company continues to review data for additional targets for testing if the decision is made to increase the drilling meterage.

"A 1,000-metre diamond drill program is an excellent start to our goal of conducting multiple drill programs at McKenzie East in 2020. The success of this program, along with continued review of the project database, may define targets that could expand the scope of this initial campaign," states chief executive officer Richard Penn.

Perry Grunenberg, PGeo, a qualified person as that term is defined under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release. Mr. Grunenberg is also a director of the company.
