VANCOUVER, Oct. 23, 2019 - Pacton Gold Inc.

This recent sampling was part of comprehensive work program involving outcrop stripping, detailed mapping and channel sampling to follow up on initial surface sampling in the Boyden area that returned gold values including 126.5 g/t Au and 23.3 g/t Au (see Pacton news release dated July 26, 2019). The Boyden prospect is the first of several high priority target areas for the 10,000 meter drill campaign.

• Multiple high-grade surface samples confirm key drill targets. Channel sampling at the Boyden prospect area has returned high-grade values including 101.3 g/t Au, 33.9 g/t Au, 31.6 g/t Au and 27.6 g/t Au. Additional channel sampling results are summarized in Table 1.
• Combined with outcrop stripping and detailed mapping at Boyden (Figure 1), these results further refine the drill targeting strategy.

Table 1. Summary of channel sample results collected from outcrop at the Boyden prospect.

The Boyden prospect is the first in a series of showings targeted by the Company. The outcrop was cleaned, stripped and mapped in detail over an approximately 30 m lengths. A continuous mineralization quartz vein was identified and channel sampled with a rock saw at approximately 3 m intervals. Channel samples were collected with a saw depth of approximately 0.1 meters with an average sample width of approximately 0.7 m. Channels were cut across the vein in a perpendicular direction. The vein is proximal to mafic and felsic volcanic contacts and the area is cross cut by later mafic dykes.
