Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – September 11, 2019) – Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSXV: MRL) (OTCQB: MARFF) (“Margaux” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its maiden mineral resource estimate for the Taurus Deposit on the Cassiar Gold property (the “Cassiar Property”) in British Columbia, Canada. “The Taurus resource estimate confirms the potential for significant bulk-tonnage deposits at the Cassiar Property. Margaux is excited to continue our evaluation of the Cassiar Property in preparation for a focused 2020 exploration program that will include drilling,” stated Tyler Rice, President and CEO of Margaux. The mineral resource estimate was independently prepared by Scott Zelligan, P.Geo. The mineral resource estimate is based on the results from 423 drill holes completed to date on the Cassiar Property. Wireframes were prepared using the drill hole information combined with geological interpretations of the deposit and validated through a thorough literature review, historical observations, and internal modeling by several recent project stakeholders. Further details related to the current mineral resource estimate are detailed below. Table 1 outlines the total base case Mineral Resources. A NI 43-101 Technical Report on the updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Cassiar Property will be filed within 45 days of this release, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Notes:
“We have had a busy and successful first field season on the Cassiar Property. The extent and strength of the gold-bearing system on the Cassiar Property is district scale and we look forward to exciting times ahead as we drill to expand the Taurus resource and to test other quality targets on the Cassiar Property,” stated Linda Caron, VP Exploration for Margaux Resources. Background The Cassiar Property is a road-accessible, advanced-stage orogenic gold system located in northern British Columbia, Canada. In June 2019, Margaux Resources Ltd. announced that the shareholders of Wildsky Resources Inc. approved the sale of its 100% interest in the Cassiar Property by way of an all-share option agreement with Margaux (see Margaux news release dated June 24, 2019). On the Cassiar Property, gold mineralization occurs along a 15 km corridor. Within this structural corridor, gold occurs both as discrete high-grade veins and as near-surface low-grade style mineralization. Past production from the Cassiar Property (primarily 1979-1997) is approximately 920,000 tonnes at an average grade of 11.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, or a total of 350,000 ounces of hard rock gold. During this period, portions of the Cassiar Property were held by different operators, and production was from different mine operations (predominantly underground) utilizing different mill facilities. The Cassiar Property has subsequently been amalgamated and now covers 56,000 hectares. It is bisected by Highway 37, with significant existing road access infrastructure and a 30 person camp with grid power. Margaux believes there to be good potential for new discoveries of low-grade bulk tonnage gold mineralization on its Cassiar Property. Numerous known high-grade gold showings on the Cassiar Property have been tested by only limited drilling, and the property-wide potential for low-grade bulk tonnage deposits has only been investigated at Taurus, to date.
