NEWS RELEASE

ALLEGIANT Completes Drilling at Monitor Hills and

Commences Drilling at Adularia Hill

Vancouver, BC, Canada, February 26, 2019, Allegiant Gold Ltd. (“ALLEGIANT”) (AUAU: TSX -V)

(AUXXF: OTCQX) is pleased to report that it has completed drilling at its Monitor Hills gold project

located in Nevada. ALLEGIANT completed 15 RC holes totaling 2,535 meters at Monitor Hills ; assays

are pending.

ALLEGIANT also reports that it has commenced drill ing at Adularia Hill, located 48 km west of

Tonopah, Nevada. Fourteen (14) drill holes totaling 2,545 meters are planned.

ALLEGIANT is drilling a total of six “ discovery potential” projects located principally in the world -class

gold mining jurisdiction of Nevada, over a 10 -12-month period to approximately June 2019. The

drilling campaign was initiated at the Red Hills project in August 2018; Adularia Hill is the 5th project

to be drilled.

Adularia Hill is located within ALLEGIANT’s Eastside claim block, about 12 km south of the Original

Zone gold deposit, approximately 2 km north of the past producing open -pit-heap-leach Boss Mine,

and some 2 km north of Castle, which hosts an historical gold resource.

The Adularia Hills target was discovered during geologic and alteration mapping by Allegiant followed

by surface sampling of outcrop and float. ALLEGIANT collected 150 surface samples in an ovoid area

about 1,400 meters by 850 meters. Thirty of the 140 samples contained gold values ranging from 0.1

to a maximum of 1.5 g/t gold. Gold occurs in and along structures and silica ribs with associated

stockworks of quartz and adularia veining. The mineralized structures cut Tertiary an desite, tuffs,

rhyolite plugs and flow domes, and Ordovician basement rocks. Outcrops make up about 20 -30% of

the target area with the rest covered by shallow alluvium.

There is no previous drilling at Adularia Hill.

which are located in the mining -friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. ALLEGIANT is one o f the most active

explorers in the gold sector; four projects with “discovery potential ” have been drilled since August

2018, and several more may be drilled in 2019. ALLEGIANT’s flagship Eastside project hosts a large

and expanding gold resource, is dist rict scale, and is located in an area of excellent infrastructure.

Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that both oxide and sulphid e gold mineralization at

Eastside is amenable to heap leaching.
