ML Gold Commences Drilling at Stars Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 9, 2018) - ML Gold Corp. (TSXV: MLG) ("ML Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has recommenced its diamond drilling program at the Stars Property in Central BC. The current drilling program intends to test magnetic targets within the recently identified (approximately 1 kilometer in diameter) Central target area and expand the newly discovered Zone 4 where ML Gold's recent drill hole DD18SS004 intersected 204 meters at 0.5% copper equivalent from surface (see release dated Feb 28, 2018).

Current Drilling Targets at Stars Project

• Central Area — a broad (approximately one-kilometer diameter) newly identified circular magnetic low area with several inlying circular magnetic high anomalies. The Central area is interpreted as a hydrothermal cell associated with a porphyry system and has the potential to host the core of said system.
• Zone 4 — a newly discovered zone identified on the margin of the main intrusion where mineralization has been identified in both the volcanic and intrusive rocks. Zone 4 shows significant similarities to the mineralization style and setting of the Huckleberry mine 60-kilometres to the south, where the primary ore body is located marginal to and not within the intrusion.

ML Golds current drilling will be collared from existing areas of disturbance aimed to test new areas while it awaits the near-term granting of permits for new drill sites allowing for greater step-out drilling locations. ML Gold has entered into various confidentiality agreements with various third-party companies specifically on the Stars project. It has separately received a letter of support from the local communities surrounding its Stars project in support for continued exploration work.

Adrian Smith, P.Geo., is the qualified person for the Company as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, and has supervised the technical information presented within this news release.
