Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2017) - McLaren Resources Inc. (CSE: MCL) (FSE: 3ML) ("McLaren" / the "Company")
announces the commencement of an exploration drill program on its 414-hectare Augdome Gold Property (the "Property") located in
Tisdale and Whitney Townships in the prolific Timmins Gold District, Northeastern Ontario, Canada.
The Property is located immediately to the east of the Dome Mine property held by Goldcorp Canada Ltd. ("Goldcorp"). The
Property has seen several phases of historical gold exploration from 1909 until 1988 which have been successful in delineating the
"Surface Gold Zone" which is located in the western portion of the claim group adjacent to Dome Mine property. This gold zone
occurs along the gold bearing Destor-Porcupine structure in an area that has been disrupted and intruded by felsic intrusive
porphyries. The Property straddles approximately 2,300 metres of the Destor-Porcupine structure.
The current drill program, which will consist of approximately 1,700 metres of core diamond drilling in six holes, is designed
to explore gold-bearing zones within the Destor-Porcupine fault structure located adjacent to the Dome Mine. Based on results,
McLaren may drill an additional two to three holes as part of this current program.
In 2016, Goldcorp announced that it had discovered an indicated mineral resource of 4.5 million ounces and an inferred mineral
resource of 0.9 million ounces (for a total of 5.4 million ounces) on the Dome Mine property in what is now being called the Dome
Century Project. The information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Kenneth Guy, P.Geo, the Qualified
Person for exploration at the Augdome Project, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects".
