Golden Reign Intersects 6.0 Metres of 13.94 g/t Gold and 142.7 g/t Silver At San Albino


March 7, 2017

Golden Reign Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GRR) (the “Company” or “Golden Reign”) is pleased to report positive drilling analyses from a hydrological test hole completed at its pre-development stage San Albino Gold Deposit, located on the San Albino-Murra Gold Property (the “Property”), Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua.

A diamond drill hole, SA16-GEOT-4020, drilled for hydrological testing purposes was logged, assayed and returned uncut values of 6.0 metres averaging 13.94 g/t gold and 142.7 g/t silver. Recoveries in the mineralized intersection were poor. The drill hole is comprised of the following intervals:

From (m) To (m) Width (m) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t)
44.60 47.50 2.90 6.20 126.0
47.50 49.10 1.60 34.30 71.4
49.10 50.60 1.50 7.20 251.0

This drill hole is situated roughly 40 metres from metallurgical drill hole SA16-MET-02, cored in 2016, and four high-grade holes completed in 2012 (see attached map). The results from drill hole SA16-GEOT-4020 correlate well with results from SA16-MET-02 and the 2012 drill holes:

SA16-MET-02 3.8 metres averaging 22.51 g/t gold and 31.5 g/t silver (see news release dated May 12, 2016)
SA12-45 0.6 metres averaging 14.54 g/t gold and 58.8 g/t silver (see news release dated April 4, 2012 on Sedar.com)
SA12-46 3.6 metres averaging 31.53 g/t gold and 24.4 g/t silver (see news release dated April 4, 2012 on Sedar.com)
SA12-47 3.6 metres averaging 5.38 g/t gold and 11.6 g/t silver (see news release dated April 4, 2012 on Sedar.com)
SA12-48 3.9 metres averaging 13.74 g/t gold and 21.5 g/t silver (see news release dated April 4, 2012 on Sedar.com)

The mineralized intervals shown above utilize a 1.0 g/t gold cut-off grade, whereas intervals originally reported on April 4, 2012 were not subject to a cut-off grade and were thus reported differently.

The 2016 infill drilling successfully confirmed continuity of the gold bearing system and improved confidence of finding additional high-grade mineralization at the northwestern end of the proposed West Pit. The San Albino Gold Deposit remains open at depth and in all directions.

Permitting Update
The Company’s permitting activities are on-going. It is working closely with the Nicaraguan regulatory authorities, namely the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (“MARENA”) and Ministry of Energy and Mines (“MEM”), in order to advance towards receiving the requisite approvals to move the project forward.

The hydrological test work undertaken forms part of the comprehensive geotechnical study supporting Golden Reign’s environmental permit application for the San Albino Mine Project.
