(TSXV: BATT) (US: BBBMF) (the \"Company\" or \"BlueBird\") is pleased to announce that recently a cobalt bloom rock specimen collected by the Yukon Government from the Batt Co-Cu Project in the Yukon, Canada assayed 1.16% Cobalt and 0.66 g/t Gold. The Company also wishes to announce that it will commence its summer 10-day exploration program at the Batt Project in early August 2018.\n\n\"We are excited to commence the first detailed exploration program at the Batt Co-Cu Project since the 1960s. The recent high-grade rock sample averaging 1.16% cobalt, indicates the potential of battery metals at the project, noting it also re-confirms historical grades sampled over 50 years ago,\" commented Chairman and CEO, Peter A. Ball.\n\nBlueBird's summer exploration program at the Batt Project will be comprised of property-scale mapping, soil and rock chip sampling, and a general reconnaissance exercise to evaluate the mineralized trend that has been identified across the claims. Multiple cobalt blooms occurences have been identified, with the one sample tested yielding the high grade cobalt result. Information gathered from the program will assist the Company in planning a potential larger exploration program, which may include ground EM or aeromag geophysical surveys, in the fall of 2018.\n\n\n\n\nThe program will be completed by the technical team from Strategic Metals Ltd. (\"Strategic\")(TSXV: SMD). BlueBird entered into an option agreement in March 2018 with Strategic to acquire an 80% interest in the Batt Claims in the Yukon Territory, Canada.  \n\n\"We have asked our exploration team to assess the possibility of a \"Windy Craggy style\" Copper-Cobalt VMS style deposit on the property. The Yukon Government has mapped a mafic volcanics/ sediment contact across the Batt p...
