NEWS RELEASE
PELANGIO CONTINUES OPTION AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE THE DALTON PROPERTY
IN TIMMINS ONTARIO AND ANNOUNCES PHASE 1 DRILLING PROGRAM
TORONTO, Ontario (September 20, 2018) – Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V; OTC PINK:PGXPF) (“Pelangio” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it will continue the option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the
mineral rights to all, or a portion of, 24 patented claims, located in Timmins, Ontario, (the “Dalton Property”) from
Rita Kean, the Estate of Jack Kean and the Estate of Glady McLellan (collectively the (“Kean Group”)).
To meet the obligations of the option agreement, Pelangio has issued 90,000 common shares, made cash payment
of $27,000 to the Kean Group and committed to a work program of $150,000 (see Pelangio news release dated
September 10, 2018 for further details).
Highlights
• Drilling program set to begin on 3.3 km2 Dalton Property
• Located in the Timmins - Porcupine mining camp, which is known to have produced over 70
million ounces of gold
• 1.5 km southwest of Newmont Goldcorp’s Hollinger Open Pit, which has had historical
production of approximately 19.3 million ounces of gold
“We continue to be very excited about the potential of the Dalton Property, located in the heart of the Timmins gold
camp, only 1.5 km southwest of the Hollinger Open Pit,” stated Ingrid Hibbard, President and CEO of Pelangio. “We
look forward to resuming exploration at Dalton with our fall drill program”.
Dalton Property Drilling to Commence
Pelangio intends to test four targets with its phase 1 drill program, commencing on or about September 30, 2019.
These four distinct high priority targets were defined by Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical work proximal to
surface trenching with strong shearing, sulphide mineralization, alteration and veining. These IP targets are also
associated with a strong magnetic high.
Exploration to date on the Dalton Property has been focused on the eastern section of the property underlain by
favorable Tisdale Group volcanics and structure typically associated with the gold mines in the Timmins Camp. The
Dalton Property has very limited rock exposure (less than 5% of the property) and thus current day exploration
techniques are reliant on geophysical and geochemical exploration techniques. As a result, Pelangio recently
completed an airborne magnetic survey, a mobile metal ion (“MMI”) soil geochemical survey, surface prospecting
of historical pits and shaft muck piles, and limited IP surveying.
As of this date, no significant values have been obtained from our initial sampling programs on the very limited rock
outcrop and historical workings. Currently, about 40% of the MMI soil sample data had been received, and a full
analysis will be completed upon receipt of all data. A cursory review of the initial, but limited, raw geochemical data
suggests there are a number of significant MMI targets that require geophysical follow up.
