Montego Resources Grab Samples up to 398 Ag/t at Taylor Silver Project

VANCOUVER, Aug. 28, 2018 - Montego Resources Inc. (CSE: MY) (FRA: 4MO1) (the "Company" or "Montego") is pleased to announce its results from it's SRK Consulting's (U.S.), Inc. ("SRK") rock sampling program on its Taylor Silver Project near Ely Nevada.

ROCK SAMPLES AT TAYLOR 2018

Results from 2018 rock grab samples show anomalous silver mineralization ranging from less than 1 g/t Ag to a high of 398 g/t Ag. The samples in the NW pit show high values of silver ranging from 38.5 to 398 g/t Ag with a statistical mean of 149.6 g/t Ag (4.8 oz/t). Gold values from these samples ranged up to 0.217 g/t with statistical mean of 0.077 g/t Au.

In addition to rock sampling in the historic resource area, rock samples were collected from outcrop at South Taylor, Enterprise, Crescent and Antimony. These areas represent a higher level mineralization (geologically) east of the Argus fault and show consistent gold mineralization. Significant results include 1.28 g/t Au at Enterprise (quartz-phyric tuff located 15 meters from a historic Antimony retort site); 0.828 g/t Au at Antimony (poly-lithic jasperoid breccia); 0.407 g/t Au at Crescent (Jasperoid located adjacent to historic shaft); and 0.503 g/t Au at South Taylor(jasperoid). All of these samples were collected from outcrop and highlight the need for followup work as a 'gold focused" program.

Selected grab samples are not representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

All rock samples were sent to ALS in Reno and lab methods include fire assay gold and ME-MS61L. QA/QC includes inserted lab standards blanks and duplicates. Chain of custody protocol was maintained by onsite QP, all samples were locked up each night and hand delivered by QP to ALS Labs in Reno.
