*** Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States***

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Midas Gold Corp. (MAX:TSX / MDRPF:OTCQX) (“Midas Gold” or the

“Company”) today announced that it has now filed a final short form base shelf prospectus (the "Shelf Prospectus")

with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec. This follows the completion of

a regulatory review of the preliminary base shelf prospectus, the filing of which was reported on March 12, 2019.

The Shelf Prospectus will allow Midas Gold to offer and issue up to C$ 200 million of common shares, warrants,

subscription receipts, units, debt securities, or any combination of such securities (collectively, the "Securities")

during the next 25-months. The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on

terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale, which would be set forth in a subsequently

filed prospectus supplement.

The Company filed the Shelf Prospectus to provide future financial flexibility as it advances its flagship Stibnite Gold

Project but has not determined whether or not to undertake an offering of Securities. As reported in its audited

financial statements dated December 31, 2018, Midas Gold had cash on hand of US$29.9 million at year end.

Filing of Amended Technical Report

In connection with the Shelf Prospectus filings, the Company has filed an amended technical report entitled

“Stibnite Gold Project, Prefeasibility Study Technical Report, Valley County, Idaho” dated effective December 8,

2014 and amended March 28, 2019 (the “ PFS”). Amendments to the PFS include changes to: (i) clarify that the

mineral resource estimate is consistent with the CIM Definition Standards adopted by the CIM Council on May 10,

2014 (with no resulting changes to the mineral resource estimate in the PFS) ; and (ii) remove the comparison of

the 2012 preliminary economic assessment. Similar changes have been made to the investor presentation available

on the Company's website.

These documents are available under the Company's profile on the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com).

The Securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered

or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any

sale of the Securities in any State or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

important factors could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from the expectations expressed in them . These risk

factors may be generally stated as the risk that the assumptions expressed above do not occur, but specifically include, without

limitation, risks relating to: general market conditions; the Company’s ability to secure financing, on favourable terms, pursuant

to the Shelf Prospectus and any prospe ctus supplements; and the additional risks described in the Shelf Prospectus and the

Company's latest Annual Information Form, and other disclosure documents filed by the Company on SEDAR. The foregoing list

of factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements, investors and others
