NEWS RELEASE

ALLEGIANT Completes North Brown Drilling Program, Nevada

Vancouver, BC, Canada, December 13th, 2018, Allegiant Gold Ltd. (“ALLEGIANT”) (AUAU: TSX -V)

(AUXXF: OTCQX) is pleased to report on the progress of its high-impact discovery drilling campaign. A

total of 6 projects located principally in the world -class gold mining jurisdiction of Nevada are slated

for drilling over a 10 -12 month period, to approximately June 2019 . D rilling commenced at the Red

Hills project in August 2018 and drilling at a third project, North Brown, was recently completed. Assay

results for Hughes Canyon (the second property drilled) and North Brown are expected soon. Drilling

is scheduled to resume at a fourth project early in 2019.

ALLEGIANT completed 2, 036 meters of rotary drilling in 11 holes at the North Brown gold project,

located on the Battle Mountain Gold Trend in Nevada. Rocks exposed at North Brown are Paleozoic

carbonate and clastic rocks, largely of Devonian age intruded by variably altered Tertiary dikes. Surface

samples at North Brown ranged from nil to 9 g/t Au. Geochemistry and alteration is characteristic of

Carlin-type gold mineralization in Nevada. North Brown is a new prospecting discovery and has not

been previously drilled by any companies.

ABOUT ALLEGIANT

ALLEGIANT owns 100% of 14 highly-prospective drill-ready gold projects in the United States, 11 of

which are located in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. Six of the projects are slated for near-

term drilling and all offer excellent discovery opportunity. ALLEGIANT’s flagship Eastside project hosts

a large and expanding gold resource, is district scale, and is located in an area of excellent

infrastructure. Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that both oxide and sulphide gold

mineralization at Eastside is amenable to heap leaching.
