Margaux Resources Announces Option Agreement on Old Timer Gold Property in Southeastern British Columbia

The Old Timer Property hosts several known gold-bearing veins. The majority of historic exploration has targeted the Old Timer vein, which has been traced on surface and by historic diamond drilling, intermittently for a strike length of 800 m. A 100 m portion of the vein was stripped off in 1980, where it reportedly averages 3 m in width. At present, the stripped area is badly sloughed and the vein is only partly exposed. Reported grades from historic drilling^[1],[2] in the vicinity of the stripped area include the following. The reader is cautioned that these are historical results which have not been independently verified by Margaux.

ddh 04-04 13.3 g/t Au over 4.4 m
ddh 91-01 12.7 g/t Au over 4.0 m
ddh 90-01 12.0 g/t Au over 4.3 m
ddh 90-02 10.0 g/t Au over 3.1 m

"We believe the Old Timer Property nicely complements our existing gold project in the Salmo area, and are pleased with the favourable option terms that allow us to add this to our portfolio. Our team will be compiling historic property data over the coming months and we anticipate being in a position to drill this property in 2019," stated Linda Caron, Vice-President, Exploration for Margaux.

Margaux has located and retrieved some of the historic drill core from the Old Timer Property and is in the process of relogging select drill holes. Results from 15 rock samples collected during a site visit to the Old Timer Property have also been received. Fourteen of these 15 samples returned elevated gold values, including a grab sample that assayed 7.9 g/t Au and a 2 m chip sample that assayed 7.5 g/t Au.

Terms of the Option Agreement include staged payments totalling $50,000 and 500,000 common shares ("Shares") of the Company over a 4 year period, for Margaux to acquire a 100% interest in the Old Timer Property. The Option Agreement and the issuance of Shares thereunder is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

Rock samples described in this release were grab samples collected from outcrop, float or from the dumps of historic workings, or chip samples collected from outcrop. Grab samples are designed to show the presence or absence of mineralization, and results are not necessarily indicative of average grade. Samples were shipped to MS Analytical Laboratory in Langley, B.C. (ISO 17025:2005 certification) for preparation and analysis. At the lab, samples were crushed to 70% passing a 10 mesh (2 mm) screen, then a 500 g split of the crushed sample was pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. All samples were analysed for gold and a multi-element suite by method IMS-132 (ICP-MS analysis following aqua regia digestion of a 40 g sample of pulverized material). For samples returning > 0.2 ppm Au by IMS-132, the sample was re-analysed by method FAS-111 (fire assay/AAS finish of a 30 g sample).
