Lac Arsenault Shows Selected Grab Samples Up to 39.7 G/T Gold

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE

UNITED STATES

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Sept. 13, 2018 -- GESPEG COPPER RESOURCES INC. (TSX-V:GCR) (the “Company” or

“Gespeg”) announces the results of its summer sampling program at Lac Arsenault, which took place in July. The priority of

the program was to confirm as much of the historical data on the property, as well as to identify potential new zones. A new

forestry road, which has been developed in the area, has significantly simplified access to existing known quartz veins (Baker,

Marleau and Mesereau) and exposed new veins to the North West of those known veins. The samples taken were assayed by

ALS in Val-d’Or, and the reported results are as follows (Figure 1).

The results of the sampling program, and their comparison to the historical surveys shows a correlation to the historical work

and new prospectivity for both gold and silver on the property (Figure 2).  The drawing and the modeling seem to indicate both

lateral and in-depth extensions. Mechanical stripping work will be required and a permit to that affect has been requested. The

selected samples are all grab samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (“QA-QC”)

A total of 27 field samples were taken from Lac Arsenault:  7 selective grab samples from the Marleau quartz and polymetallic

vein, 6 selective grab samples from the Baker quartz and polymetallic vein, 7 selective grab samples from the Mersereau

quartz and polymetallic vein and 6 selective grab samples from news quartz veins close to new access.

An additional 5 standards, blanks and duplicates were added for QA-QC, for a total of 32 analyzed samples. Individual field

samples were taken by the geologist, and inserted in individual plastic bags, each with ALS sample tags. Samples were

checked, catalogued and bags sealed by the Senior Project Geologist, then placed in large numbered nylon bags with

standards, blanks and duplicates. The bags were then sealed and send by transport to the ALS facilities in Val-d’Or for gold

and multi-element analysis.

Once at the ALS facilities, samples are catalogued with the barcoding system, dried, weighed, crushed, pulverized to 70%

<2mm, and riffle-split sample is taken for final pulverization to 85% <75μm. A final split is taken for multi-element ICP-AES

analysis (gold plus 33 elements) and ore grade finish on anomalous results in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc).
