AZARGA METALS CORP. ("Azarga Metals" or the "Company") (TSX-V:AZR) reports that it has today accepted the resignation of Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol with immediate effect.

The Company continues to work towards closing the previously announced investment by Baker Steel Capital Managers LLP ("BSCM") (February 14, 2019) acting on behalf of its discretionary client funds, principally Baker Steel Resources Trust Ltd., and as we continue to prepare for a re-invigoration of physical exploration at the Unkur Copper-Silver Project, further leadership team transition is anticipated.

The Company thanks Mr. Nicol for his contributions.

Alex Molyneux, the Company's Chair will assume the role of interim President and Chief Executive Officer.
