VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Premier property covers more than one hundred
square kilometres near the town of Stewart in northwest BC, and includes the old Premier Mine, a past producer of 2.1 MOz Au and
44.9 MOz Ag.
Highlights of Release:
- In this seventh set of results for 2017, the Northern Lights main zone continues to deliver good results. In the Ben Subzone
hole P17-1411 returned 124.50 g/t Au over 2.00 meters within a wider zone grading 32.43 g/t Au over 14.03 meters. This discovery
of a higher grade in the Ben subzone has a gentle west plunge and has been traced for a plunge length of 500 meters and remains
open in both plunge directions. This zone has a general width of 200 meters and once all initial results are in, the area will be
infill drilled for resource definition purposes.
- The New Subzone results include P17-1422 with 91.80 g/t Au over 2.00 meter within a wider interval grading 7.74 g/t Au over
26.20 meters. This New Subzone remains open up dip and has been traced for 400+ meters of plunge length with a general width of
100-150 meters. This area will be infill drilled, later in the season, for resource definition purposes.
- Initial results from recce drilling is demonstrating the good continuity to the mineralized zones in areas that have never
been drill tested. Results from P17-1420 include 10.8 g/t Au over 2.0 meters in a flat lying mineralized zone approximately 500
meters north of the Northern Lights zone in the Sebakwe area.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Analytical work is being carried out by ALS Lab Group. Quality assurance and quality control programs include the use of analytical
blanks and standards and duplicates in addition to the labs own internal quality assurance program. All samples were analyzed using
multi-digestion with ICP finish and fire assay with AA finish for gold. Samples over 100 ppm silver were reanalyzed using four acid
digestion with an ore grade AA finish. Samples over 1,500 ppm silver were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples with over
10 ppm gold were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Identified or suspected metallic gold or silver are subjected to
"metallics" assays. Also for extreme high gold grades a concentrate analysis is performed with a fire assay and gravimetric finish
accurate up to 999985 ppm Au limit (ALS Au-CON01) method. Sampling and storage are at the company's secure facility in Stewart with
bi-weekly sample shipments made to ALS Labs Terrace prep site.
