Vancouver - Huntsman Exploration Inc. (TSXV: HMAN; US: BBBMF) (the 'Company' or 'Huntsman') is pleased to announce the following update to exploration and drilling activities at its Canegrass Nickel project in Western Australia.

Drilling Operations

The mobile camp for drilling operations was set up last week, and the first drill rig is now on site. Operations for the 18-hole drill program will commence immediately. Preparations are also being made for the addition of a second rig.

Peter Dickie, President and CEO for Huntsman, commented, 'We are excited to be commencing our drill program at Canegrass which will follow up on the strong success of our maiden drilling in 2018. The first rig is now on site and we will be adding a second rig in the coming weeks. The strong interest we have received from the financial community has allowed us to commence work on multiple fronts, with the ground MLEM survey and drilling operations starting within days. We look forward to sharing further updates as the program progresses.'
