PROGRAM GOALS - RESOURCE EXPANSION, NEW RESOURCE OPPORTUNITIES AND CONTINUED METALLURGICAL SAMPLING

Toronto, Canada / TheNewswire / October 24, 2018 – Savary Gold Corp. (TSX-V: SCA) (“Savary” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an exploration update for its Karankasso Project in south western Burkina Faso. Savary is the 74% owner and operator of the joint venture project.

The Company plans to commence a 70 hole, +5,000 m drill program in early November to follow-up the positive results of the drill program completed in June of 2018 (as highlighted below) as well as a few high priority targets as depicted in Figure 1.

1 Savary News Release July 25, 2018

“The focus of the upcoming program is to expand resources and to continue to de-risk the project through the collection of a more complete suite of metallurgical samples of the principle zones” stated Don Dudek, President and CEO of Savary. “These targets continue to represent obvious expansion potential and therefore I anticipate continuing the trend of positive results, added Mr. Dudek.

The program will include approximately 3,750 metre of reverse circulation and air core drilling in 56 holes as well as 1,900 metres of core drilling in 12-13 holes. The core holes will test for higher grade mineralization at depth (approx. 150 m to 200 m below surface) at Kueredougou and Karangosso (see Figure 1 for locations), acquire additional structural information at all zones and collect a more complete suite of fresh rock metallurgical samples from all zones. The high-grade target at Kueredougou is an inferred structural intersection area where drilling returned 83.35 g/t gold over 4 metres, 48.00 g/t gold over 4 metres and 21.13 g/t gold over 4 metres. The high-grade target at Karangosso lies below an intercept of 6.73 g/t gold over 7 metres. All of the core holes will be completed using an oriented core tool that will facilitate the collection of structural data.

Metallurgical data to date has shown a wide range of fresh rock gold recoveries from 42% to 99% with the most recent work returning lower gold recoveries from several of the zones. Average, modelled fresh rock recoveries, as previously guided, range from 80% to 91%, depending on the resource zone. The metallurgical work to date comprised timed bottle roll tests and a combination of up to 8 year old core and RC chip material that were subjected to various grind sizes (some ulta-fine) and a variety of leach conditions. The current program will collect a fresh suite of representative core samples from the principle mineralized zones and subject this material to more uniform treatment and testing. It is expected that up to 30 metallurgical samples will be collected and then analysed in Q1, 2019. These samples will be used to refine our assumed average gold recoveries.

Stock Option Grant

The Company has granted a total of 1,930,000 stock options to various officers, directors and consultants. The options may be exercised at a price of $0.05 per common share for a period of five years from the date of grant. The company grants stock options from time to time to the various members of the board and management with a view to linking the interest of the directors and management with those of shareholders while keeping G&A expenses as low as possible. It is anticipated that during the financial year ending December 31, 2018 stock options are the only form of compensation to be received by members of Savary’s board. The grant of options remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
