1 For more information, see the NI 43 -101 technical report entitled “Resource Estimate and NI 43 -101 Technical Report,

Eastside and Castle Gold -Silver Project, Esmeralda County, Nevada” prepared by Steven J. Ristorcelli CPG of Mine

Development Associates for Allegiant Gold Ltd. with an Effective Date of July 25, 2017, dated September 1, 2017, and filed

on SEDAR under the profile of Allegiant Gold Ltd. on January 24, 2018.

2 The historical resource estimate for the Eastside gold project was completed by Jame s D. Greybeck, Senior Geologist for

Cordex Exploration Co. in April, 1999, under the direction of Andy B. Wallace, then Manager of Cordex Exploration Co. and

Vice President of Rayrock Mines, Inc. This report and data used in its preparation has been recent ly reviewed by Andy B.

Wallace for the purpose of this press release under his obligations a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43 -101 who has

reviewed and approved the technical contents of this press release. Drill data used for Greybeck’s report was f rom Cordex

Exploration Co., Kennecott Exploration, Houston Oil and Minerals, Falcon Exploration, and Mintek Resources which data is

on file in the offices of Cordex Exploration Co. The data is judged relevant and reliable by Andy B. Wallace. The resource was

termed a “Geologic Resource” at the time of Greybeck’s report, which was in line with current practice for the time. Mr.

Greybeck prepared geological cross sections and calculated the resource by hand, using a polygonal method with a lower

cut-off of .005 opt Au (0.17 g/t Au). Where drilling was closely spaced gold values were interpolated between cross sections

using weighted averages projected 50 feet on either side of the cross section. A qualified person has not performed sufficient

work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Company is not treating the

historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. For more information, see news releases entitled

“Columbus Acquires Claims Hosting a Historical Estimate of 272,000 Ounces of Gold Resources Contiguous with its Eastside

Gold Project in Nevada” dated and filed under the profile of Columbus Gold Corp. on SEDAR on January 20, 2017.
