                  EASTPLATS PROVIDES BI-WEEKLY DEFAULT STATUS REPORT

April 17, 2024, Vancouver, British Columbia – Eastern Platinum Limited ("Eastplats" or the "Company")
is providing this bi-weekly default status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 Cease Trade
Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203"). On April 4, 2024, the Company announced
that it was unable to file its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2023 and the related management's discussion and analysis and annual information form
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Required Filings") by the deadline of April 1, 2024.

On April 3, 2024, the British Columbia Securities Commission, as principal regulator, granted a
temporary management cease trade order (the "MCTO") to the Company. The Company intends to file
the 2023 Required Filings as soon as practicable.

Pursuant to NP 12-203, the Company must file bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further
news releases during the period of the MCTO. The Company reports that since its news release of
April 4, 2024, there have been no changes regarding the information contained in that news release that
would reasonably be expected to be material to an investor. The Company confirms there have been
no failures by it in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative
information guidelines under NP 12-203, and there has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any
specified default subsequent to the default announced in the Company's news release of April 4, 2024.
Lastly, there is no material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally
disclosed.
