Telson Resources Inc. ("Telson" or the "Company") (TSX Venture - TSN.V) is pleased to inform shareholders that the Campo Morado mill clean up and refurbishment is nearing completion with underground mining operations being ramped up utilizing two jumbo drills and additional haulage trucks that have mined and delivered approximately 25,000 tonnes to the coarse ore patio.

Ore crushing has been initiated and is progressing normally, to date accumulating a crushed ore stockpile of at least 5,000 tonnes. The Company plans to stockpile at least 7,000 tonnes of crushed ore as well as 60,000 tonnes of coarse ore to create more than one constant month supply of mill feed to sustain steady mineral processing operations.

After completing mill maintenance and refurbishment where necessary during September, successful operation tests of the mills grinding, flotation, thickening and filtration circuits have been conducted using water. Testing is continuing, verifying the continual steady state operational capability of equipment, instrumentation plus the hermetic integrity of the process circuit. To this point in time all equipment, instrumentation and mill circuits are working normally.

Telson is planning to initiate commercial production at an initial processing rate of approximate 1,400 tonnes per day at Campo Morado within the next several weeks of October 2017. As processing techniques are perfected the Company plans to slowly increase the mines production rate towards the mills capacity of 2,500 tonnes per day over the next six to twelve months.
