Lumina Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: LUM) (the "Company" or "Lumina") is pleased to announce additional drill results from the Cangrejos infill program. The additional five diamond drill holes summarized below, demonstrate mineralization continuity over hundreds of metres and are comparable to previous drilling. In total the holes represent 2,226 metres of drilling. Similar to the drill results released on June 26, 2017, these holes also extend beyond the resource limiting pit used in the latest resource estimate. The program is continuing at site, with 5,666 metres drilled in total since March 2017.

Summary Drill Results

Note: Intervals in the reported holes are calculated using a cut-off of 0.2 g/t Au with maximum internal dilution of 10 continuous metres and the highest gold value used in the reported weighted averages is 8.73 g/t Au. Above cut-off intervals of less than 50m are not reported, and in addition to the above results there were multiple intercepts of lower-grade material in the drill holes.

Quality Assurance

All Lumina sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality control / quality assurance ("QA/QC") program including the insertion of blind standards, blanks and pulp and reject duplicate samples. Logging and sampling are completed at Lumina's secure facility located at the Cangrejos project. Drill core is sawn in half on site and half drill-core samples are securely transported to ALS's sample preparation facility in Quito, Ecuador. Sample pulps are sent to Lima, Peru for analysis. Gold content is determined by fire assay of a 30 gram charge with total copper content determined by four-acid digestion with ICP finish.
