Mountain Lake Minerals Inc. Closes Option with New Dawn Resources on Caledonia Brook Gold Project

Wolfville, Nova Scotia - Mountain Lake Minerals Inc. (CSE:MLK) (“Mountain Lake” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that on November 9, 2017, it completed its acquisition of an option (“Closing”) granted by New Dawn Resources Inc. (“New Dawn” or “NDRI”) for the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest (subject to a 1.5% NSR royalty) in New Dawn’s Caledonia Brook (Au) Project near Grand Falls – Windsor in Central Newfoundland (the “Option”), which lies along a belt of highly mineralized, multiple lithologies extending from south of Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake property at Victoria Lake, northeastward to Grand Falls – Windsor. As part of the Closing, Mountain Lake has issued to New Dawn 50,000 common shares of Mountain Lake at a deemed price of $0.10 per share and paid $10,000 to New Dawn. Mountain Lake also reimbursed New Dawn for $2,000 of agreed expenses in connection with the Option.

Paul Smith, President & CEO of Mountain Lake Minerals commented, “This closing represents another important step in the Company’s strategic growth plan for Newfoundland. We remain focused on adding to our current resource estimates with high-grade gold targets.”

Director Bill Fleming added, “Based on similar structure, age and lithology, we believe the Caledonia Brook Gold Project represents an opportunity to discover new gold deposits along this highly prospective mineral trend.”

To exercise the three (3) year Option, Mountain Lake must issue to New Dawn 150,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.20 per share on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of Closing and 250,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.30 per share on the second anniversary of the date of Closing, make an additional cash payment to New Dawn of $25,000 on or prior to the third anniversary of the date of Closing, and incur at least $175,000 in exploration expenditures on the property, of which at least $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000 must be incurred by each of the first, second, and third anniversary dates of the date of Closing, respectively. In addition, if Mountain Lake has received assay results prior to the third anniversary of the date of Closing showing that at least one rock assay sample from the exploration work on the property contains one or more ounces of gold per tonne, then it will issue a further 350,000 common shares to New Dawn at a deemed price of $0.40 per share.

New Dawn will retain a 1.5% NSR Royalty (“Royalty”) and Mountain Lake will have the unfettered right to buy back 1% of the Royalty for $1,500,000. Both parties have the preferential right to include as part of the Option additional interests acquired by the other within the two (2) kilometer area of interest surrounding the two (2) licences subject to the Option.

All shares issued or to be issued to New Dawn under the Option will be subject to a hold period not exceeding four (4) months and one day.
