Pacton Gold Acquires Strategic Portfolio of Gold Properties in Western Australia's Pilbara Mining Region

Vancouver, Feb. 26, 2018 - Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC) (the "Company" or "Pacton") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") whereby the Company can acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CTTR Gold Pty Ltd ("CTTR"), an Australian proprietary limited exploration company. CTTR is a newly formed company, incorporated at the end of October 2017 that holds applications to nine tenenment licenses for a strategic mineral property group (the "Property") in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The 492 km2 Property is an advanced gold project portfolio which consists of conglomerate gold targets within the Witwatersrand Basin age-equivalent Mallina Basin.

Highlights of the Property Transaction:

• -Excellent exposure to a portfolio within a large and strategically located land package in the Pilbara Mining Regions of Western Australia:

• • -Pilbara Gold Project: Strategic land tenements applications totaling 492 km2, directly adjacent and proximal to key exploration properties controlled by Novo Resources Corp., De Grey Mining Ltd. and Kairos Minerals Ltd. (refer Figure 1).

• • -The Pilbara's Archean craton has emerged as the world's most exciting gold exploration region. Coarse pyritic conglomerates appear to represent a new gold model for 2.8 billion year old sedimentary and volclanic rocks of approximately the same age as the Witwatersrand gold reefs in South Africa. Novo and other explorers report gold occurences as extremely large to fine primary gold nuggets, surrounded by fine gold haloes resulting from a secondary redisdribution of gold from the nuggets.

• • -All nine (9) tenements under application are advanced and within months to full granting status with no current native title objections received.

• -Exposure to other accretive acquisitions in the Western Australian Pilbara Mining Region.

Alec Pismiris, Interim President & CEO of Pacton: "It is exciting to be able to secure applications for such a strategic and quality land package in a sought after mineralized region in the Pilbara Mining Region in Western Australia. In 2017, the Pilbara region generated intense global interest and staking following the newly identified gold potential of the unusual, extensive, and spectacular gold bearing conglomerates announced by Novo Resources. We are pleased to be able to assemble a significant portfolio of advanced gold projects with excellent prospectivity that are expected to provide key exploration and discovery upside for the shareholders of Pacton."

Pilbara Gold Project and its Prospectivity

The Property comprises nine (9) exploration licence applications covering 492 km2 of ground prospective for Witwatersrand-style conglomerate-hosted gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (see Figure 1).

The licences have the potential to cover various parts of the prospective contact between the older Pilbara granite-greenstone terrain and the overlying Fortescue Group rocks in the East Pilbara region, including areas close to and adjoining licences held by Novo Resources Corp., De Grey Mining Ltd. and Kairos Mining Ltd. (see Figure 1).
