Murchison Provides Exploration Update

Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Murchison Minerals Ltd. (“Murchison” or the “Company”) (CSE: MUR) is pleased to announce that it is commencing its fall exploration program at the Brabant-McKenzie property.  The program will consist of a regional exploration program designed to follow up on a number of known detailed mineralized showings and airborne geophysical anomalies identified over the property's 16 km length.

The Company will also be conducting a downhole probing program in an effort to determine a number of previously drilled holes open to depth on the Brabant-McKenzie deposit (the “Deposit").  The Company will further be initiating a borehole EM geophysics program on any open holes identified. Results from this fall exploration program are expected in early November and will be used to further define current identified drill targets on the Deposit as part of a planned drill program expected to commence early in 2017.

The Company also approved the issuance of 470,000 stock options to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The options are exercisable into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.30 expiring on September 27, 2021.
