Minnova Corp. Reports
Additional High Grade Gold Assays in Grab Samples
along Strike from the PL Mine Site
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION INTO THE UNITED STATES
August 24, 2017 , Toronto, Ontario – Minnova Corp. (TSXV: M CI, OTC Pink : AGRDF,
"Minnova” or the “Company”), an advanced-stage mining exploration and gold development
company focused on the advancement and re-start of our 100% owned PL Gold Mine in central
Manitoba is pleased to announce additional surface grab sample assay results from its summer
field program at the PL Mine site.
As previously disclosed (see August 14, 2017 press release) prospecting and geological mapping
along VTEM conductors and magnetic lineaments along strike of the PL Deposit identified two
new gold showings, the PL North and J S howings. Additional assays have now been received
from the PL North Showing extending surface mineralization by over 100m to the southeast
towards the current northern limits of the PL Deposit.
The PL North showing is comprised of a network of 30 -40 cm thick quartz veins hosted within a
series of Amisk Group gneisses. The paragneiss succession is underlain by tonalite gneiss that
also forms the footwall of the PL Deposit. Where exposed, quartz veining and mineralization at
the PL North Showing can now be traced over a strike length of approximately 230m . Initial
mapping at the PL North Showing indicates the structural style of the quartz veins, mineralisation,
and stratigraphy is comparable to the PL Deposit. The PL North Showing was not previously
identified and has never been drill tested.
In addition to the PL style vein mineralisation two new previously unrecognized styles of gold
mineralisation where encountered . The first new st yle of mineraization is characterized by
disseminated fine-grain arsenopyrite and gold mineralisation hosted in a greywacke paragneiss
with grab samples E00016992 grading 3.83 g/t, 16993 grading 5.04 g/t and 16994 grading 5.87
g/t in a mapable unit measuring approximately 23m thick. See Notes to assay results table on
page 2 for additional disclosure related to these surface grab samples. The second style of
mineralization is gold associated with disseminated aresenopyrite in the footwall tonalite gneiss
located approximately 100 meters west of the PL North Showing. Field work is ongoing to further
define and expand these mineralized occurrences.
Gorden Glenn, CEO commented “Additional surface grab samples have successfully extended
the strike length of gold mineralization at the PL North showing which is interpreted to be on trend
from the PL Gold Deposit. These results in addition to the new styles of gold mineralization
continue to highlight the exploration potential of the property. Field work continues in preparation
for a winter drill program to tes t strike and dip extents of gold mineralization at the PL North
Showing and the 2km trend of untested strike length extending on trend toward the J showing.”

Additional disclosure;
1) Grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property
2) Surface grab samples E00016992, 16993 and 16994 are point samples and are not consistent throughout entire unit
Field work to date supports an interpretation that a gold mineralised, structural trend extends
northwest of the PL deposit , is intimately associated with the same footwall tonalite underlying
the known PL deposit gold mineralisation. Field work continues to explore the extent and
characteristics of this prospective structural zone that occurs at the tonalite contacts beyond the
currently defined 2km trend between the PL North Showing and the J Showing. G eological
mapping and prospecting of these new gold occurrences and several other targets along strike
from the PL Mine is ongoing. See geology map with sample locations at www.minnovacorp.ca
QA/QC Statement
All grab samples were placed in labelled rice sacks and sealed with a security zip-tie. Samples
were delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Thunder Bay Ontario. Receipt of the samples
was signed off at all preparation labs and tracked by the Company . Pulps of each sample were
prepared and followed by fire assay and gravimetric analysis, if required. A QA/QC program
including the regular insertion by the Company of duplicates, blanks and standards was instituted.

About Minnova Corp.
Minnova Corp. is an emerging Canadian gold producer focused on re-starting the PL Gold Mine
and expanding gold resources on its PL and Nokomis gold deposits. The Company completed an
Updated PEA which supports average annual production of 48,100 ounces over a +10 year mine
life. Work to date supports advancing the project toward production with an initial program of
detailed definition drilling to be followed by a future underground test mining and bulk sample
program and completion of a Feasibility Study to bring the PL Mine back into production. The PL
Gold Mine has a valid underground mining license, an existing 1,000 tpd flotation mill, over 7,000
meters of developed underground ramp to -135 metres depth, is fully road accessible and close
to existing mining infrastructure in the prolific Flin Flon – Snow Lake Greenstone Belt of Central
Manitoba.

Forward Looking Statements
This news release contains "forward- looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.
Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, information regarding the Company including management’s
assessment of future plans and operations, that may involve risks associated with mining exploration and development, volatility
of prices, currency fluctuations, imprecision of resource estimates, environmental and permitting risks, access to labour and
services, competition from other companies and ability to access sufficient capital. As a consequence, actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements. Disclosure related to the 2015 Updated Preliminary Economic
Assessment (the “2015 PEA”- the 2015 PEA is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too
speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral
reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. A feasibility study has not been
completed and there is no certainty the disclosed targets will be achieved nor that the proposed operations will be economically
viable. Although Minnova has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated
or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events c ould
differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward -
looking information. Minnova does not undertake to update any forward- looking information, except in accordance with
