Anaconda Mining intersects 12.76 g/t gold over 6.0 metres and 2.68 g/t over 10.0 metres at Argyle

TORONTO, April 30, 2019 /CNW/ - Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or the "Company") (TSX: ANX) (OTCQX: ANXGF) is pleased to announce the remaining results of a 36 hole, 1,863-metre infill and geotechnical diamond drilling program on the Argyle Deposit ("Argyle Infill Program"), located approximately 4.5 kilometres from the Company's operating Pine Cove Mill and tailings facility at the Point Rousse Project in Newfoundland (See Exhibits A and B). The first 12 holes of the infill drill program, covering the western part of the deposit, were previously reported in a news release dated March 1, 2019. The Company completed the Argyle Infill Program to better define portions of the deposit planned for development in 2019.

Twenty-four diamond drill holes (AE-19-110 to 133) totaling 1,338 metres were completed on the eastern portion of the Argyle Deposit, intersecting mineralization as outlined in the existing Mineral Resource. Mineralization intersected in holes AE-19-110 to AE-19-133 is approximately the same thickness of previous drilling in this area. Drill holes AE-19-112 to 115 (163 metres) were completed for geotechnical studies and were not assayed. A table of selected intersections from the infill drilling program is shown in Table 1 below.

Highlights from the eastern portion of the Argyle Infill Program include:

• 12.76 g/t gold over 6.0 metres (46.0 to 52.0 metres), including 48.30 g/t gold over 1.0 metres in hole AE-19-122;
• 2.69 g/t gold over 10.0 metres (50.0 to 60.0 metres) in hole AE-19-131;
• 4.83 g/t gold over 5.0 metres (48.0 to 53.0 metres) in hole AE-19-119; and
• 4.94 g/t gold over 8.0 metres (45.0 to 53.0 metres) in hole AE-19-121.

"The results of infill drilling at Argyle continue to demonstrate grade and thickness continuity of the mineralized zone very close to surface and provide additional confidence in the merits of Argyle as a mining project. With the infill program now complete we will move to update mine plans and complete additional exploration and expansion drilling within the Argyle area."

~ Kevin Bullock, CEO, Anaconda Mining Inc.

The drill results from the Argyle Infill Program will be used to update and refine pit extents and assist in mine planning for the Argyle Deposit.

About Argyle

The Argyle Deposit, located 4.5 kilometres east of the Pine Cove Mill adjacent to existing road networks, is defined over a strike length of 685 metres and to a down-dip depth of 225 metres and is open for expansion in all directions. It currently contains an Indicated Resource of 543,000 tonnes grading 2.19 g/t gold (38,300 ounces) and an Inferred Resource of 517,000 tonnes grading 1.82 g/t gold (30,300 ounces) as outlined in the table below and is detailed with a 43-101 Technical Report titled "43-101 Technical Report, Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Update Point Rousse Project, Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada" with an effective date of December 31, 2017.

Argyle Mineral Resource Estimate – Effective Date: December 31, 2017

This news release has been reviewed and approved by Paul McNeill, P. Geo., VP Exploration with Anaconda Mining Inc., a "Qualified Person", under National Instrument 43-101 Standard for Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

All samples and the resultant composites referred to in this release were collected using QA/QC protocols including the regular insertion of certified standards and blanks within each sample batch sent for analysis and completion of check assays of select samples. Drill core samples were routinely analyzed for Au at Eastern Analytical Ltd. in Springdale, NL ("Eastern"), using standard fire assay (30g) pre-concentration and Atomic Absorption finish methods. Eastern is a fully accredited firm within the meaning of NI 43-101 for provision of this service.

Mineralized intervals referred to in this press release are reported as drill intersections and are apparent widths only. Apparent widths reported in this press release are estimated to be approximately 90-100% of true widths.

Diamond drilling at Argyle outlined within this press release, benefited from a JEA grant from the Department of Natural Resources, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. Anaconda thanks the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for this assistance.
