STRONG GOLD RESULTS AND NEW TARGETS AT DUNNEDIN’S TRAPPER PROJECT
March 27, 2017 – Vancouver, BC, Canada. – Dunnedin Ventures Inc . (the "Company" or "Dunnedin")
(TSX-V: DVI) today announced results from exploration undertaken in October of 2016 designed to find
additional gold zones at its 100% owned Trapper property. Trapper is a copper-gold porphyry project in
northern British Columbia with results that include high grade visible gold flanking copper -mineralized
porphyry in drill core, and gold drilled across 2.2 kilometres. Highlights of the current survey include:
• 62 heavy mineral concentrate samples collected across 40 km2 of the project returned an average
of 2.31 g/t (2,310 ppb) gold, with a range of 0 to 32.1 g/t (32,100 ppb) gold
• High gold values occur upslope from previously drilled gold zones, defining new gold targets or
significant step-outs to known zones
“We’ve now identified two main areas of gold mineraliz ation at Trapper,” said Chris Taylor, Dunnedin’s
President and CEO. “The first contains high gold values across more than three kilometres, with most
samples originating upslope from past drilling and containing gold that must originate from new, untested
targets. This area generated strong gold values where drilled, and these new results suggest significant
expansion potential. A second area has also now been identified with consistently high gold values across
two kilometres. A drill hole completed within 500 m etres of this target hit sulphide-rich porphyry style
alteration, and the area was identified at that time as a priority for follow-up exploration.”

Two styles of mineralization have been drilled and mapped at Trapper. The first is gold-rich semi-massive
sulphide stockwork that was the focus of drilling in 2011. This type of intermediate-sulphidation precious
and base metal stockwork mineralization has been reported at m any major porphyry deposits worldwide,
typically overlying or flanking the primary copper porphyry centres. Intervals at Trapper include 34.11 m
of 1.71 g/t gold, including 0.41 m of 92.80 g/t gold, and 27.50 m of 1.19 g/t gold, including 2.50 m of 11.15
g/t gold.
The second style of mineralization is copper-mineralized alkalic porphyry. Samples returning up to 0.57%
copper in bedrock and 2.5% copper in float have been collected at Trapper including both bornite -
chalcopyrite copper sulphide mineralization, and azurite -malachite copper oxide mineralization. These
targets have not yet been d irectly targeted by drilling at Trapper, although c opper-mineralized porphyry
diking has been intersected in drill core, along with high-energy porphyry style hydrothermal breccias and
porphyry style alteration.
The Company will next asses the gold grain content and mineralogy of the heavy mineral concentrates to
characterize proximity to gold sources, and to map porphyry alteration and base metal zonation across the
project. This will allow sample areas to be prioritized for follow-up exploration. Results will be released
as work is completed.
During the 2016 program, g ravel, sand and silt were collected from stream and talus sources across the
project, and sieved to -20 mesh to produce a 10 kilogram concentrate from each sample site. Samples were
further processed using various density and magnetic separation techniques at CF Mineral Research Ltd. of
Kelowna, British Columbia, to produce heavy mineral concentrates. Each concentrate was partitioned into
a sample sent for neutron activation assaying of gold content at Activation Laboratories Ltd. (“ActLabs”)
of Ancaster, Ontario, from which the results in this release are provided, and a sample kept by the Company
for further gold grain and mineral analysis.
The Company has also granted an ag gregate of 325,000 stock options to consultants of the Company,
exercisable at $0.37 per share for a period of five years.
