Kintavar Completes Drilling Program at Mitchi Project Sherlock and Watson Sector
Montreal, Quebec, January 18, 2018 – Kintavar Exploration Inc. (the “ Corporation” or “Kintavar”)
(TSX-V: KTR), is pleased to report the completion of a 1,771 met ers diamond drilling program on
its wholly owned Mitchi Property in Quebec.
The program consisted of twelve drill holes and the majority of the core samples have already
been sent to ALS Global laboratory for assaying while the re maining samples are expected to
follow in the coming days . Results for the initial drill holes are expected to be available in the
coming weeks.
The exploration drilling program focused on three main objectives:
1. Testing the main IP anomalies of the Sherlock zone
2. Testing the Sherlock and Watson mineralization at depth
3. Testing some of the secondary IP anomalies
In total, 10 of the 12 drill holes intercepted the favorable lithologies with copper mineralization
in the form of bornite and chalcopyrite. Out of these holes, 7 holes intercepted several tens of
meters of copper mineralization.
“We are very pleased with this firs t drilling program on the Mitchi project. We drill ed more
meters than expected because several of the holes showed mineralization deeper than first
thought. We now believe this could be both a near surface open pit type target and also an
underground targe t beneath.” commented Kiril Mugerman, President and CEO of Kintavar
Exploration.
About the Mitchi Property
The Mitchi property (approx. 21,000 hectares, 100% owned) is located west of the
Mitchinamecus reservoir, 100 km north of the town of Mont -Laurier. The propert y covers an

electric power substation located 14 km to the east. The property is located in the north-western
portion of the central metasedimentary belt of the Grenville geological province. Many gold,
copper, silver and manganese mineralized showings have been identified to date, with many
characteristics suggesting of a sediment -hosted stratiform copper type deposit (SSC) in the
Eastern portion of the property and Iron Oxide Copper Gold ore (IOCG) and skarn type deposits
- 2 -
in the Western portion . Osisko Mining holds a 2% NSR on 39 claims and 1% NSR on 21 other
