Telson Resources Inc. Initiates Processing of Tahuehueto Ore to
Recover Lead and Zinc Concentrates at the Atocha Toll Mill
Vancouver, British Columbia, July 31, 2017 – Telson Resources Inc. (“Telson” or the “Company”) (TSX
Venture – TSN.V) is pleased to announce that processing of Tahuehueto ore for mineral recovery at the Atocha
toll mill is underway. It is planned to process the ore at 300 tonnes or more per day.
To date approximately 4,600 tonnes of ore has been delivered to the Atocha mill site and approximately 1,500
tonnes of this ore has been processed through the sulfide flotation mill circ uit to recover metal concentrates.
A further 900 tonnes have been mined and are stockpiled at the Tahuehueto mine site pending delivery to the
Atocha mill.
Mining is continuing underground from the Level 10 ore shoot estimated to contain at least 50,000 tonnes .
Telson intends to continue mining on a continuous basis to generate cash proceeds during the Tahuehueto mine
construction phase.
Commodities to be recovered are gold, silver, lead, zinc, within lead and zinc concentrates. The company is
anticipating similar head grades and recoveries to those that were achieved during its industrial scale bulk
sample test completed earlier this year as the ore is being mined from the same zone. Those previously
achieved results from Feb 2017 are shown below. (Please see news release issued February 23, 2017).
Testing on the February 2017 industrial scale bulk sample returned an average head grade of 9.5 g/t gold, 63.9
g/t silver, 3.54% lead and 6.24% zinc. Sulfide flotation processing produced,
• 201 dry tonnes of Pb concentrate with average grades of 124.4 g/t Au, 786.4 g/t Ag, 40.7% Pb and 24.7% Zn.
• 259 dry tonnes of Zn concentrate with average grades of 11.18g/t Au, 147.07g/t Ag, 5.55% Pb and 43.57% Zn
All the concentrates from the February 2017 industrial scale bulk sample were sold generating cash receipts of
approximately USD $1.47 million.
Telson Resources Inc. is a Canadian based resource development company advancing two gold, silver and
base metal projects towards production over the coming months of 2017 and early 2018. Telson's Tahuehueto
Project, located in north -western Durango State, Mexico and its recently acquired Campo Morado Mi ne in

Campo Morado within 3 to 5 months while at the same time develop it's Tahuehueto Project through the mine
construction phase with an anticipated timeline to be producing at the project site in its own mineral processing

Cautionary Note Regarding References to Resources and Reserves
This news release uses the terms "measured and indicated resources" and "inferred resources". We advise
U.S. investors that while these terms are defined in, and permitted by, Canadian regulations, these terms are
not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and not normally permitted to be used in reports and
registration statements filed with the SEC. "Inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their
existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any
part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of a feasibility study or prefeasibility studies,
except in rare cases. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute
SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant "reserves", as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mine ral deposits in this category will ever
be converted into reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred
resource exists or is economically or legally minable.
