/CNW/ -

Central Timmins Exploration Corp.

("CTEC" or the

"Company") (TSXV: CTEC) is pleased to announce that it has engaged a drilling contractor in

preparation for the Company's initial 5,000-meter diamond drill program and provides an outline of

its near-term exploration plan on its Timmins Project in

Ontario, Canada

.

CTEC owns a 100% interest in 89 patented claims and 433 staked claims in the main

Timmins

camp. This land was assembled over the past 15 years prior to CTEC consolidating ownership.

CTEC has broken down the Timmins Project into four distinct township projects:

Deloro

and

Ogden

are located on the south side of the Porcupine Destor fault Zone (PDFZ); and

Mountjoy

and the 4

Corners Project on the north side of the PDFZ (covering areas in

Godfrey

,

Robb

, Jamieson and

Turnbull townships).

Highlights

Drill Contract

Signed a drilling contract for a 5,000-meter phased diamond drill program to be completed

in Q4, 2018 and Q1, 2019.

Drilling is expected to begin on or about

October 25

th

on the Deloro Project.

Initial drilling will focus on an area where historic drilling completed by Dictore Porcupine

Gold Mines Limited

(1)

in 1939 intersected a total of 45 meters of gold mineralized core that

averaged 2.7 g/t in three distinct zones in a

220m

diamond drill hole. Historical intersection

assays were 2.2 g/t Au over

11m

, 1.8g/t Au over

12m

and 3.3g/t Au over

22m

of core

length. Each of the intersections also had 1 or more high grade intersection ranging from a

low of 6.3g/t Au to 21.9g/t Au all with

1.5m

assay lengths.

(1) Historic drill intercepts and mining data from the Dictore Property were sourced from

historic files and assay logs - Assessment File 444 of

Deloro Township

; Timmins MNDM

Office. QA/QC procedures and processes have not been audited by CTEC. Historical results

are not necessarily indicative of future results. CTEC will twin the 1939 Dictore DDH #5 to

confirm the accuracy of the 1939 assaying.

MMI Sampling in 2012 and 2018

1,800 MMI samples in

Deloro

and Ogden Townships and check sampling of 200 MMI

locations in

Mountjoy

and on the 4 Corners Projects in 2018.

Approximately 6,000 MMI samples taken to date on the 4 projects.

SGS

Lakefield

completed MMI assaying for 52 elements, generating 300,000 individual

assays.

Serge Nadeau PhD completed analysis of the entire 6,000 sample MMI data base; initially

in 2012 then ongoing through 2018. Serge's analysis has generated 20 targets spread over

the 4 Timmins Project areas.

MOU's and Permitting

An exploration MOU has been signed with two First Nations groups, The Matachewan First

Nations and the Mattagami First Nations.

8 drill targets are already permitted, 2 are in progress.

Continuation of geochemistry and geophysics work to further define targets.

CTEC CEO,

Charles Gryba

, commented, "I am excited at the prospect of starting our exploration

program on our 4 projects within the 77 square kilometer Timmins Property package. Twinning the

Dictore DDH #5 hole is very exciting as the historically defined gold mineralization started some

80m

below surface.

The next 9 drill targets are a combination of a minimum of 3 layers of positive exploration data. For

example a MMI geochem anomaly matched to airborne magnetic or E/M anomaly plus E/M, IP or

Magnetic ground geophysical data to confirm the drill setup location.

CTEC held an open tender process for the

5,000m

drilling contract for its Timmins Properties in

October 2018

. The NQ diameter diamond drill holes are expected to range between

300m

and

500m

in length. RPA in the NI 43 101 Report expected the program to be completed within 6 months

with assays reported on a regular basis."
