NEWS RELEASE
PELANGIO ENTERS OPTION AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE THE DALTON PROPERTY IN TIMMINS ONTARIO
TORONTO, Ontario (September 10, 2018) – Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V; OTC PINK:PGXPF) (“Pelangio” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an 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”) ) and
2522962 Ontario Inc. (“5SD Capital”).
Highlights of the Dalton Property:
• Mineral rights to all, or a portion of , 24 patented claims, covering approximately
330 hectares (3.3 km2)
• Located in the Timmins - Porcupine mining camp, known to have produced over 70
million ounces of gold
• 1.5 km southwest of the Hollinger Open Pit project
“We are very excited about the Dalton property, and we are anxious to explore the potential of this property, located
in the heart of the Timmins gold camp , only 1.5 km southwest of Goldcorp’s Hollinger Open Pit,” stated Ingrid
Hibbard, President and CEO of Pelangio. “The legendary Hollinger mine has produced over 19 million ounces of gold
since 1910.”
Geological Description
The Dalton Property is located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, the largest greenstone belt within the Canadian Shield.
The Abitibi Greenstone Belt is the most prolific Archean terrain in terms of copper-zinc sulphide mineralization and
gold mineralization. Major east and northeast trending faults ( the Destor-Porcupine Deformation Zone and the
Cadillac Deformation Zone) were active through the main period of volcanism. Over 120 million ounces of gold have
been produced from mines associated with these two major structures in the Timmins, Kirkland Lake and Holloway
gold camps. The Destor Porcupine fault is located approximately 2 km south of the property.
The property has an inventory of historical drill core which has been maintained in good order. A cursory observation
of th is drill core showed that numerous holes had significant alteration and sulphide mineralization was also
observed. A substantial portion of the core was not as sayed, and drill logs are unavailable. Pelangio intends to re -
log and assay this core and confirm h istorical drill hole locations in the field for a very cost effective first phase of
exploration.
Within the last few years , induced polarization surveys were completed on the property. Pelangio also intends to
correlate the survey data with the recent historical drilling upon completion of re-logging and assaying to determine
if further drilling is required on established targets or if some targets have not been fully evaluated.
The property has a number of old historical surface trenches and muck piles . Quartz veining and scheelite were
observed in the historical surface workings, scheelite ( a tungsten rich mineral) was a typical gangue mineral of the
gold ores at the Hollinger mine. Additionally, as part of Pelangio’s first phase of work, Pelangio intends to re-sample
any known mineralized zones as little information is currently available.
Terms of the Option Agreement and Work Commitment
In order to acquire a 100% interest in the Dalton Property, Pelangio must make the following cash pay ments and
share issuances (90% to the Kean Group and 10% to 5SD Capital) and complete a total of $750,000 in exploration
expenditures:
