Algold: Continued Positive Results at Tijirit's Eleonore Zone

MONTREAL, Nov. 28, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Algold Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: ALG – the "Corporation") today announced receipt of additional results from its Phase II - 10,000-meter drilling campaign carried out on the Tijirit property ("Tijirit") in Mauritania. The most recent assay results are from drilling carried out over the Eleonore North, Central and South areas, as well as from several drill holes conducted on the Sophie II Zone.

Highlights

These results further corroborate Algold's interpretation of a multiplicity of mineralized quartz veins of varying widths, grades and strikes that extend in a north-northeast direction with sub-vertical dip, over the full extent of the Eleonore Zone (3.4-kilometer strike).

• Hole T16RC136 – 2 m @ 15.85 g/t Au, situated in Eleonore North, 100 m west of hole T16RC092 (3 m @ 2.41 g/t Au referenced in Algold's press release dated November 2, 2016). (Figure 1)
• Hole T16RC119 – 7 m @ 1.66 g/t Au situated in Eleonore Central, is on the same section line as T16RC080 – 12 m @ 1.75 g/t Au, but 100 m west-northwest. (Figure 2)
• Hole T16RC134 – 2m @ 7.65 g/t Au, situated in Eleonore South, 90 m south of T16RC081 (3 m @ 2.41 g/t Au referenced in Algold's press release dated October 5, 2016). (Figure 3)
• Hole T16RC104 - 4 m @ 4.07 g/t Au, situated in Eleonore South, 440 m northeast of hole T16RC027 (6 m @ 16.4 g/t Au - referenced in Algold's press release dated August 16, 2016). (Figure 3)
• Hole T16RC109 - 7 m @ 1.14 g/t Au situated in Eleonore South extends the mineralization 40 meters NE from the previous intersection in hole ECD3 (and on the same section as T16RC079 - 4m @ 1.81 g/t Au) and confirms a new vein to the northwest of those currently defined. (Figure 3)

These results continue to demonstrate the considerable potential of the Eleonore Zone to host a significant high-grade gold deposit as all three areas remain open in all directions.

Exercise of Warrants

Algold also announced that subsequent to June 30, 2016, the Company realized approximately $1.68 million net in proceeds through the exercise of some 6.4 million options and warrants. Year to date the Corporation has raised total gross proceeds of $9.15 million.

"The exercise shows a strong commitment from our shareholders and provides additional financial flexibility to accelerate exploration at the Tijirit property. Our objective is to further advance exploration of the Tijirit property throughout the fourth quarter of this year and through early 2017, with additional assay results expected in late Q4 2016," said Francois Auclair, Algold's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are very appreciative of our shareholders' continued support."

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)

Analytical work for drill core and chips, geochemical samples and rock chip samples is being carried out at the independent ALS Laboratories Ltd. in Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland, an ISO 17025 (2005) Certified Laboratory. Samples are stored at the Corporation's field camps and put into sealed bags until delivered by a geologist to the ALS preparation laboratory in Nouakchott, Mauritania, where samples are sieved and prepared for shipping. Until the end of 2015, samples were analysed at ALS facility in Bamako, Mali. Since early 2016, samples are analysed at the ALS in Ireland. Samples are logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and finely crushed to better than 70%, passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of up to 1,000 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85%, passing a 75 micron (Tyler 200 mesh) screen, and a 50-gram split is analysed by fire assay with an AA finish. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference material (standards) are being used to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis.
