NEWS RELEASE

Drilling Underway at ALLEGIANT's Bolo Gold Project With

Two Priority-1 Holes Complete

Vancouver, BC, Canada, September 4, 2019, Allegiant Gold Ltd. (“ALLEGIANT”) (AUAU: TSX -V)

(AUXXF: OTCQX) is pleased to announce that a drilling program has commenced at its Bolo Gold

Project, located in Nye County, Nevada. The drilling is being carried-out by Barrian Mining Corp. (TSX-

V: BARI, OTCQB: BARRF), which can earn an initial 50.01% interest in Bolo over the next 3 years, by

incurring exploration expenditures of US$4 million and making staged option payments in shares to

ALLEGIANT, totaling US$1 million. Barrian can then earn an additional 25% (total 75%) by completing

an additional US$4 million in expenditures over an additional 2 years.

The drilling program will be comprised of approximately 6,000 f eet ( ~1,800 metres) of reverse

circulation (RC) drilling primarily targeting additional mineralization at the South Mine Fault Zone

(SMFZ). Drill holes are also planned for Uncle Sam and for untested geophysical anomalies between

the SMFZ and Northern Extension Zone (Figure 1).

The recently completed Induced Polarization (IP) and Resistivity geophysical survey at Bolo defined a

significant linear conductivity high anomaly coincident with the Mine Fault Trend and with known

Carlin-type gold (+ silver) mineralization at the SMFZ . The geophysical inversions indicate good

vertical continuity of conductive anomalies ranging between 250 and 400 metres depth, below the

limit of previous drilling. The planned drill holes at the SMFZ primarily target the down -dip extension

of previously defined mineralization , coincident with the conductive anomaly (Figure 2). Step-down

drill holes are planned to increase the vertical extent of drilli ng at the SMFZ by up to 100 metres

down-dip.

Additional drill holes are planned along strike between the SMFZ and Northern Extension Zone ,

where limited historical drilling often failed to adequately test the newly defined Mine Fault

conductive anomaly. At Uncle Sam, the drill plan is designed to extend the footprint of gold and silver

mineralization north along strike and down-dip of historical high-grade surface channel samples.

See Plan Map (Figure 1): www.allegiantgold.com/nr/2019-09-04-maps.pdf

The plan map shows an overview of the planned 1,800 metres of Priority-1 drill hole locations.

Priority 2 drill holes represent planned future drilling and are contingent on results from Priority-1

holes. Two Priority-1 drill holes have been completed.

The section map shows two examples of planned drill holes at the SMFZ, designed to extend drill -

defined mineralization up to 100 metres down-dip.

* The true width of mineralization is estimated to be approximately 50% of drilled width.

About ALLEGIANT

ALLEGIANT owns 100% of 10 highly -prospective gold projects in the United States, 7 of which are

located in the mining -friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. 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 amena ble to heap leaching. ALLEGIANT plans to announce a

comprehensive corporate update in the next 10 days.
