Far Resources Provides Corporate Update for the Spin-Out of Its High-Grade Winston Gold-Silver Project, New Mexico

VANCOUVER, March 26, 2019 - Far Resources Ltd. (CSE:FAT) (FSE:F0R) (OTC:FRRSF) is pleased to provide an update regarding its high-grade Winston Gold-Silver Project, located in Sierra County, New Mexico, USA, and the previously-announced spin-out of these assets.

The Winston Project comprises the Little Granite Mine and the Ivanhoe-Emporia Mine, both of which are past-producing silver-gold mines. Management believes that these assets are highly valuable and worthy of a systematic exploration programme, but are not currently valued within the existing corporate structure.

In late 2017, Far announced that it was contemplating a Plan of Arrangement to spin the Winston assets out into a new public company as a form of dividend to its shareholders. Due to changing priorities and a focus on advancing its Zoro and Hidden Lake lithium projects, as well as changes in gold and exploration fundamentals, the company put plans for the spin out on hold.

Far is pleased to announce that it is again advancing plans to spin out the Winston Project into a newly-formed, precious metals-focused exploration company ("SpinCo"), with the initial goal of advancing the gold and silver assets in New Mexico through a focused programme of exploration and drilling. The company believes that SpinCo has the potential to be developed into an independent and viable company based on the merits of the Winston Project.

The company would spin out its interests in the Winston Project with the intent of listing on a public exchange in due course. Completion of such plan and any listing of the resulting entity will be subject to regulatory approval, and the approval of shareholders of Far.

Updates on this process, including share ratio to Far shareholders and timing of the record date shall be provided in due course.

"We believe very strongly in the value of the Winston Property," said Far President and CEO, Toby Mayo. "The exceptionally high grades recovered during due diligence—over 1.4 kg/t silver and 25 g/t gold—combined with the favourable location of the project, captured our investors'; interest. We believe that the time is now right to demonstrate the potential of this opportunity and to unlock the true value of Winston for our shareholders."

About the Winston Project

Little Granite Mine

The Little Granite Mine is a past-producing, high-grade silver-gold mine located in the Chloride Mining District in Sierra County, western New Mexico (Fig. 1 and 2). The area saw major mining activity in the late-19th and early 20th Centuries, with historic records of over 400 mines and prospects in the district.

Epithermal vein systems in the northern part of the district exist along dominantly north trends with lesser northeast and northwest trends. The longest continuous vein system in the district, the Great Master Lode, occurs in this area, winding along north and northeast trends for more than 11 km. Vein adularia at the Minnehaha Mine, on the Great Master Lode, yielded a K-Ar age of 26.2 +/- 1.2my, nearly identical to dates for stage two mineralisation in the southern half of the district.

Gold-silver mineralisation at Little Granite is contained in two major low-sulphidation epithermal quartz veins (the Little Granite vein and the West, or Jap vein). These veins outcrop in Tertiary age volcanics and run semi-parallel to one another, striking roughly north, and dipping 70 degrees to 80 degrees east.

Previous production occurred from workings where the two veins merge. It is understood that the bulk of ore mined was oxidised and free milling containing, silver chlorides and free gold near surface, with the deposits transitioning to sulphide-hosted mineralisation at depth.

Historic diamond drilling during the 1980s tested the vein over a strike length of approximately 400 feet (120 metres) mostly to a depth of 250 feet, though one deeper hole was drilled to 450 feet (Table 1).

The vein system has been traced for over 600 feet (185 m) along strike by surface drilling and underground development. At the surface, widths are typically 1 to 2 feet, but reportedly widen to between 6 and 12 feet at a depth of 250 feet. The deepest drill intersection to date (Hole LG-7) is approx 400 feet deep.

Table 1: Historic drilling results from 1984 diamond drilling programme. Note: this work was not carried out under supervision of a Qualified Person. The assaying, sampling and QA/QC protocols are unknown, and therefore cannot be relied upon. These results are presented as historical information only.

The vein zone remains open both along strike and at depth. Historic mine records reported local bonanza-grade ore in some of the ore shoots underground.

In late 2013, Far conducted a due diligence site visit to the Winston Project, where they visited the Little Granite Mine area. Three composite samples were collected from quartz dump material near the mouth of the decline, which were reportedly excavated in the early 1980s. This check sampling confirmed the occurrence of local very high-grade silver and gold.

Two of these samples, representing the main style of quartz present in the mine, returned values of 179 g/t Ag and 2.9 g/t Au, and 170 g/t Ag and 6.7 g/t Au respectively. These samples show classic boiling textures and are considered to be the material from the upper part of a well-developed epithermal system. The third composite sample found on one of the dumps, containing fine grained grey "cherty" quartz material, returned values of 1,439 g/t Ag and 25.2 g/t Au. The results from the third sample supports the historic reports confirming the presence of "bonanza-grade" shoots within the mine';s main vein system.

Two additional samples of the exposed quartz vein were taken from the walls of a collapsed stope immediately north of the main shaft, returning values of 226 g/t Ag and 2.2 g/t Au, and 24 g/t Ag and 0.3 g/t Au. However, both of these samples may have experienced surface leaching effects.

All of the samples were collected by Lindsay Bottomer, P.Geo., former director of Far, who transported and delivered them to Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, where fire assay methods were used to analyse them.

Ivanhoe/Emporia Lodes

The Ivanhoe/Emporia lodes produced gold and silver from workings accessed by a 384 feet deep decline extending into the historical mine. Far believes that there is potential for outlining significant, large tonnage, lower grade mineralisation from the stockwork veins that surround previously mined high-grade veins.
