NEWS RELEASE
Drilling Underway at ALLEGIANT’s Red Hills Project
Vancouver, BC, Canada, August 22, 2018, Allegiant Gold Ltd. (“ALLEGIANT”) (AUAU: TSX -V) (AUXXF:
OTCQX) is pleased to announce that drilling is underway at ALLEGIANT’S 100% owned Red Hills
project, located 56 km northeast of Ely, Nevada . A ground magnetic survey conducted at Red Hills
has identified a large anomaly, interpreted to be buried intrusive rock, which ALLEGIANT plans to test
with eight reverse circulation drill holes, totaling up to 2,200 metres.

“We’re very pleased to announce the start of drilling at Red Hills,” said Robert Giustra, Chairman and
CEO of ALLEGIANT. “Red Hills kicks off a n exciting exploration program that will see six projects
drilled over the next 10 to 12 months.”
The magnetic anomaly at Red Hills has never been drilled before and represents a highly-prospective
porphyry copper-molybdenum target, with the margins of the anomaly having potential for base and
precious metal skarns and replacements . Red Hills is underlain by northerly striking, generally
westerly dipping Cambrian through Ordovician sedimentary rocks which include (from oldest to
youngest) the Windfall Formation, Pogonip Group carbonates (Goodwin, Nine Mile and Antelope
Valley Formations), Eureka Quartzite, Hanson Creek and Lone Mountain Dolomites.
After Red Hills and over the next 10 to 12 months, ALLEGIANT plans to also drill the following five
projects: Hughes Canyon, Monitor Hills, North Brown, Silverdome and Adularia Hill (a new target
located approximately 12.5 kilometres south of the Original Zone gold deposit at the Eastside gold
project).
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 will be drilled over
the next 10 to 12 months and all offer excellent discovery opportunity. ALLEGIANT’s flagship Eastside
project hosts a large and expand ing 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.
