Private Placement

Each Unit will consist of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share (each a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.30 per Warrant Share until 4:30 p.m. (Calgary time) on that date that is 24 months from the issuance closing date, (the "Expiry Time") subject to accelerated expiry, if the 20-day Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $0.40 per share.

Pursuant to the Offering, Margaux will also issue Flow-Through Shares for gross proceeds of up to $750,000. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or before September 6, 2018.

"Margaux plans to use the funds raised to further our exploration drilling, enabling us to continue testing gold targets on the Sheep Creek Gold District, as well as to complete geological mapping and other preparatory studies in advance of an anticipated Fall drill program on the Kootenay Arc Zinc District," commented Company President and CEO, Tyler Rice.

Proceeds of the Offering will be used to pursue the Company's ongoing exploration and drilling programs and for general working capital. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws. In connection with the Offering, certain finders may receive a cash fee and/or non-transferable finder Warrants.

Board of Directors

Margaux is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Chris Stewart as an Independent Director, effective July 11, 2018. He originally joined the Company's advisory committee in November 2016. Mr. Stewart brings over 26 years of diversified experience in the mining industry, 15 years working with mining contractors and 11 years working with mining companies. He is currently the President and CEO of Treasury Metals Inc..

Prior to joining Treasury Metals, Mr. Stewart was the Vice President of Operations for Kirkland Lake Gold, where he was responsible for mining and milling operations of the company. Before joining Kirkland Lake Gold, he served as President and CEO of Liberty Mines Inc., as well as serving in various positions at BHP Billiton, DMC Mining Services and Lake Shore Gold Corp..

"Chris is a valuable addition and an excellent complement to our Board given his extensive mining experience. We believe his guidance, governance experience and record of delivering operational excellence and corporate growth will further support Margaux's consolidation and development strategy through good governance and guidance," stated Margaux's Chairman, Jim Letwin.

Mr. Stewart will be replacing Mr. Edward Lawrence, who will be stepping down from the Board after four years as a Director with the Company and many decades of involvement with the Company assets. Mr. Lawrence's extensive knowledge of the Kootenay Arc and decades of working experience on the Jersey-Emerald mine were invaluable to Margaux's entry into the region and in establishing the focus of the Company's exploration program.

Mr. Letwin commented, "We want to thank Ed for his time at Margaux and his passionate efforts in growing and developing the Company's exploration program and asset knowledge. We wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement."
