The options are being issued under the terms of the Company's Stock Option Plans which were approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting on April 21, 2016. The Option Plan has been submitted, in the normal course to the TSX Venture Exchange for approval and no options can be exercised prior to the receipt of this approval.

Property Option

The addition of Mr. Dahn to the Board of directors, also adds to the supervision and support that he can provide in the potential development of the Houlton Woodstock Manganese Property located in Carleton County, New Brunswick. The Company is awaiting the approval of the TSXV for the acquisition.

The terms the option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSX:GMX)(FRANKFURT:G1M)(OTCQX:GLBXF) provide an option to the Company to earn a 100% interest in the Houlton Woodstock Manganese Property, over a two year period, upon making $200,000 in cash payments ($100,000 paid to date), issuing 4,000,000 post-consolidated common shares, undertaking an aggregate of at least $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures and delivering a Preliminary Economic Assessment to Globex on or before the fourth anniversary of the Option Agreement. The Option Agreement also includes a 3% Gross Metal Royalty.

The Houlton Woodstock Manganese Property includes the historical Moody Hill, Sharp Farm, Iron Ore Hill and Maple Hill manganese‐iron zones. In July 1953, K.O.J. Sidwell, in a report titled "Preliminary Report on the National Management Limited Property at Woodstock, NB" reported, based upon limited diamond drilling and a gravity survey manganese iron, resources of 25 million tons at Iron Ore Hill, 10 million tons at Moody Hill and 8 million tons at Sharp Farm (The resources cited above are historical, are not a current mineral resource or reserve under NI 43‐101 regulations, are not being considered by the Company as current resources or reserves, have not been reviewed by a geologist of the Company and should not be relied upon).

A significant drill campaign will be undertaken to outline the historical mineralized zones and delimit potential resources. The New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the proposed initial exploration program planned for this year and has allocated a $40,000 matching grant to support the exploration.

Manganese has many uses including in new alkaline batteries and rapidly developing lithium ion manganese batteries where MnO2 acts as the primary cathode material. This developing technology is promising as the magnesium‐oxide components are abundant, non‐toxic and provide better thermal stability. Manganese is essential in the production of stainless steel and as an alloying agent with aluminium.

Mr. Dahn is the qualified person for this press release.

Sunset Cove's mission is to acquire and advance high potential mining prospects located in North America with the intent of supplying value added materials to the lithium ion battery and other alternative energy industries. For more information visit the website at www.sunsetcovemining.com.
