PROJECT
Silver intercepts of 15,984.7 g/t over 2.2 metres and 26,412 g/t over 1.0 metre
Liberty Lake, Washington, January 24, 2018 – Hunt Mining Corp. (the “ Corporation ” or “ Hunt ”)
(TSX VENTURE: “HMX” OTC: “HMXZF”) is pleased to announce drill results from drilling activities
at the Martha mine located in the Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Hunt continues to investigate the mining
of pillars at the Martha mine, which was brought into production in January 2017.
Hunt recently completed surface blasthole drilling, designed to blast portions of the mineralized hang ing
wall and footwall into the existing open stope. A t otal of 19 holes were drilled, with highlighted res ults
above 400 g/t (not pertaining to internal dilution) as follows:

Notes
• Ag figures are in grams per ton (g/t)
• Assays were analyzed in Martha's on-site laboratory
• No independent QAQC samples were inserted into the sample stream
• Drillholes were not downhole surveyed
• True widths of the drill hole intersections cannot be determined with the information available
The holes drilled from the north (N) are semi-parallel to the vein while the ones drilled from the south (S)
are semi-perpendicular to the vein. Aside from testing the hanging wall mineralization in the south holes,
an attempt was made to also penetrate a remaining p illar of the vein material between hanging and
footwall. North holes were sampled every 2m while south holes were sampled every meter.
Ongoing production at the Martha Project is being u ndertaken without established mineral resources or
reserves and the Corporation has not established th e economic viability of the operations on the Marth a
Project. As a result, there is increased uncertai nty and economic risks of failure associated with t hese
production activities.
