Balmoral Expands Detour Gold Trend Holdings

VANCOUVER, Nov. 27, 2019 - Balmoral Resources Ltd. (“Balmoral” or the “Company”) (TSX: BAR; OTCQX: BALMF) announced today that is has acquired by staking 62 mineral claims located adjacent to its existing Detour East property in Quebec. The Detour East property, and the claims staked, form part of the Company’s Detour Gold Trend Project and are located along and proximal to the Ontario-Quebec border where they adjoin the holdings of Detour Gold Corporation (“Detour Gold” or the “Corporation”). On November 25, 2019 Detour Gold announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Corporation, subject to shareholder approval, in a deal with a pre-announcement implied equity valuation of approximately CDN$4.9 billion*.

The potential acquisition of Detour Gold, combined with recent exploration success by the Company and Wallbridge Mining in the GFA (“Grasset-Fenelon-Area 51”) district 80 kilometres to the east and the known resource and exploration potential of the Company’s Martiniere gold system (located 45 kilometres to the east), highlight the future growth potential of the Detour Gold Trend. Balmoral remains the dominant land holder in the region controlling approximately 75% of the known extent of the Trend.

Area 52 Drill Results

The Company currently anticipates that the final results for the nine drill holes recently completed in Area 52 testing the high-grade gold discovery announced by the Company on September 16, 2019 (see NR19-17) will be available within the next 7-10 days following the receipt of outstanding assay results.

Balmoral has implemented a quality control program for all of its drill programs, to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core, which includes the insertion of blind blanks, duplicates and certified standards into sample stream. NQ sized drill core is saw cut with half of the drill core sampled at intervals based on geological criteria including lithology, visual mineralization and alteration. The remaining half of the core is stored on-site at the Company’s Val d’Or field office in Quebec. Drill core samples are transported in sealed bags to ALS Minerals’ Val d’Or, Quebec analytical facilities. Gold analyses are obtained via industry standard fire assay with atomic absorption finish using 30 g aliquots. For samples returning greater than 5.00 g/t gold follow-up fire assay analysis with a gravimetric finish is completed. The Company has also requested that any samples returning greater than 10.00 g/t gold undergo screen metallic fire assay. Following receipt of assays, QA/QC results are reviewed, visual analysis of mineralized intercepts is conducted and additional analysis may be requested. ALS Minerals is ISO 9001:2008 certified and the Val d’Or facilities are ISO 17025 certified for gold analysis.
