Vancouver, B.C., December 13, 2018. FALCON GOLD CORP. (“Falcon” or the “Company”) reports it has
completed its 2018 exploration program on the Esperanza Resources S.A. (“ERSA”) mineral concessions
located in La Rioja Province, Argentina. The work program has focused on three of its 7 concessions;
ERSA VIII, IX and X. The purpose of the work was two-fold – to advance our knowled ge of the
historically identified gold, silver and copper zones and test newly discovered mineralization areas.
The 2018 Program
The current work program on the Esperanza VIII, IX and X concessions was intended:
1. To carry out a geological survey at a scale of 1: 20,000;
2. To perform surface sampling of known and discovered gold zones; and,
3. To map the terrain, including any road accesses for planning of future campaigns in the
area.
The program produced a total of twenty-four samples that have been sent to the SGS Argentina S.A. in
the city of San Juan for multi-element analyses and fire assays.
The ERSA Property
The ERSA Property is comprised of seven (7) mineral concessions covering an aggregate area of 20,461
hectares ("ha") within the renowned Sierra de Las Minas District, which is reported to host several past
producing gold and silver mines. The Property is located about 50 kilometres (“km”) south-southeast of
the town of Chepes. The city of San Juan is about 250 km by paved highway to the west-southwest.
The first discovered g old mineralization within the District reportedly occurs within the ERSA IX
concession in or about 1865 and is referred to as the “Callanas occurrences”. Limited mining has been
conducted on gold, silver and copper zones within the Callanas areas.
Stephen Wilkin son, Falcon’s CEO commented, “This initial round of exploration has surpassed our
expectations with the reporting of visible gold at several sites. The geological team has demonstrated
