The Company's common shares now trade on the OTCQB under the symbol "CLRMF", and will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "AIR".

The Company also announces the appointment of Renmark Financial Communications Inc. ("Renmark"), of Montreal and Toronto, to assist with its investor and media relations activities. In consideration for the services to be provided, Clean Air Metals will incur up to $8,000 in monthly fees, starting September 1^st, 2020 for a period of six months ending on February 28^th, 2021 and monthly thereafter. Renmark will not have any interest, directly or indirectly, in Clean Air Metals or its securities, or any right or intent to acquire such an interest.

"We are very pleased with the appointment of Renmark to help reinforce Clean Air Metals' profile in the North American financial community. I know from personal experience how effective the Renmark team are and look forward to working with them once again" noted Abraham Drost, CEO of Clean Air Metals.

The Company also announces a new research partnership with the Lakehead University geology department to investigate the mineralized intrusions of the Thunder Bay North Intrusive Complex, part of the Midcontinent Rift of North America. Dr. Peter Hollings, Chairman of the Geology Department, in conjunction with Dr. Derek Wilton of the Memorial University of Newfoundland, their students and Clean Air Metals' personnel will jointly examine the local portion of the nearly 3,000-kilometre-long rift in the earth's surface that forms the north shore of the Lake Superior Basin. The research will complement the Company's exploration work at its Escape Lake and Thunder Bay North deposits.

"This project will contribute significantly to our understanding of the processes that form high-grade zones within magmatic nickel, copper and platinum systems and develop tools that can be applied by Canadian companies to aid in generating future discoveries," Dr. Hollings added.

Clear Air Metals CEO Abraham Drost said that "having a Thunder Bay field office helps us to tap into the knowledge base at Lakehead University and hire its high quality geology graduates. To the extent that the upcoming research program could contribute to new, economic discoveries at the Thunder Bay North property, the company's cash investment of $150,000 over 3 years plus in-kind contributions, multiplied by the federal government's NSERC contribution of $300,000 is a vote of confidence in the mineral potential of the area."
