NEWS RELEASE

DRILLING COMMENCES AT ALLEGIANT’S BOLO PROPERTY

Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 23, 2020, Allegiant Gold Ltd. (“ALLEGIANT”) (AUAU: TSX-

V) (AUXXF: OTCQX) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at ALLEGIANT’S

100% owned, Carlin-style, Bolo gold project in Nevada.

The program is being carried-out by New Placer Dome Gold Corp. (formerly Barrian

Mining Corp.), (“NGLD”) which can earn an initial 50.01% interest in Bolo by making

share payments to ALLEGIANT totaling US$1 million and completing US$4 million in

exploration expenditures.

“Bolo is an exciting emerging discovery located in one of the greatest mining jurisdictions

in the world. We are thrilled that the initial drill program was expanded and commenced

ahead of schedule,” commented Peter Gianulis, CEO of ALLEGIANT.

An initial 12 high-priority RC drill holes totaling 3,500 metres will target the Mine Fault

and other mineralized structures that host the South Mine Fault, Uncle Sam and Norther

Extension.

According to New Placer Dome:

Drilling at Bolo will focus on testing Carlin-style gold mineralization at depth in the

South Mine Fault Zone where gold -silver mineralization remains open and

untested along strike and at depth. The 2020 program will expand and step-out

on results from the 2019 program (see New Placer Dome news release dated

November 7, 2019 available on www.sedar.com) including:

• 84 metres of 1.37 g/t gold in hole BL19-011, and

• 122 metres of 1.2 g/t gold in hole BL19-04, and

• New discovery of 12.2metres of 3.32 g/t gold in hole BL19-04

The 2020 program will also test the continuity of mineralization between the South

Mine Fault Zone and Uncle Sam Silver Zone, where a 2019 outcrop sample yielded

3.63 g/t gold with 262 g/t silver.

The combined 2019 and historical RC drilling at Bolo defines a 1.2 kilometer north-

south trending corridor of gold-silver mineralization containing the South Mine

Fault Zone, Uncle Sam, and Northeast Extension zones. Gold mineralization at Bolo

exhibits characteristics of classic Carlin -type mineralization, including strong

subvertical structural control in addition to evidence of gold mineralization

extending laterally at low angles within favorable silty carbonate units. The

relatively untested 500 m strike length South Mine Fault-Uncle Sam segment is

particularly prospective and is the main focus of New Placer Dome’s 2020

exploration designed to prove-out these compelling structural and stratigraphic

gold targets.

ABOUT ALLEGIANT

ALLEGIANT owns 100% of 9 highly-prospective gold projects in the United States, 6 of

which are located in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. Two of ALLEGIANT’s

projects are farmed-out, providing for cost reductions and cash -flow. ALLEGIANT's

flagship, district-scale Eastside project hosts a large and expanding gold resource 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.

ABOUT NEW PLACER DOME GOLD

the Newmont/Barrick Joint Venture), hosts Carlin-style gold mineralization, previous run

of mine heap leach production, and NI 43-101 indicated resources containing 418,000

ounces of gold grading 2.63 g/t Au (4.95 million tonnes) and i nferred resources

containing 117,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.51 g/t Au (2.44 million tonnes). The Bolo

Project, located 90 km northeast of Tonopah, Nevada, is another core asset, similarly
