CONFEDERATION ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDING ITS LAND
POSITION IN THE RED LAKE GOLD MINING DISTRICT, ONTARIO
Vancouver, B.C. / TheNewswire / May 27, 2019 CONFEDERATION MINERALS LTD . ( TSX-V: CFM )
(“Confederation” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive share purchase
agreement dated May 27, 2019 (the Agreement”) to acquire a private company whereby Confederation will
acquire certain exploration properties to significantly expand its land holdings in the Red Lake Gold Mining
District, Ontario.
Under the terms of the Agreement between Confederation and the shareholders of 1106877 BC Ltd. (the
“Privco”), the Company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common of the Privco by issuing
4,500,000 common shares to the shareholders of the Privco. The Privco controls two contiguous properties,
consisting of a total of 1,008 claim cells which are located in the Red Mining Lake District of Ontario. The first
property consists of 100 cell claims, and is held under an option agreement whereby the Privco can acquire 100%,
subject to a 1.5% NSR Royalty, by making cash payments over 5 years totalling $100,000. The second property
consists of a total of 908 claim cells, is 100% held by the Privco, and not subject to any cash payments or
royalties.
These two properties, collectively called the “Leo Property” (the “Property”) are located 35 kilometers south of
Red Lake and 15 kilometers south of Great Bear`s Dixie Lake discovery. Access to the Property is via highways
from major towns and cities into the area and then an extensive network of logging roads throughout the property
itself. The Leo Property covers an area of 207 square kilometers (20,700 hectares / 51,150 acres).

“We are very excited in making this acquisition ” commented David Velisek, President & CEO of Confederation
Minerals. “ This acquisition significantly increases our land position and our exploration potential in the Red
Lake Gold Mining District. It is a great addition to our existing Red Lake properties that include our Newman
Todd Property, the exploration of which to date has demonstrated great promise for our shareholders. The fact
that we were able to acquire such a large land position in a highly prospective area, with little or no underlying
obligations or royalties, I believe will help us build a stronger foundation for our company”
The Property is underlain by the English River subprovince, an east-west trending belt of 2.70 to 2.69-billion-
year-old metamorphosed and deformed turbiditic greywacke with occasional volcanic and ironstone horizons. The
Property is transected by a major crustal suture zone called the Sydney Lake Fault, which separates the English
River subprovince from the Uchi subprovince to the north. The area is deemed highly prospective for orogenic
gold mineralization.
A significant portion of the Property was subject to historic exploration programs by Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. in
joint venture with AngloGold Ashanti, as part of their “Goldpines South” project. The exploration included a
regional airborne magnetics survey that was completed in spring of 2010. This survey highlighted several large
folded features within the project boundary that align with the favored regional secondary deformation (“D2”)
fold axes. In addition, a systematic three-phase Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil sampling program was conducted
which showed a clear correlation between anomalous zones and geological structures.
Although this exploration was not followed up, the January 2012 Goldpines Project report recommended further
exploration including;
Further surface testing of a linear magnetic high that is associated with a number of soils anomalies, that
could represent a second-order fault in the hanging wall of the Sydney Lake Fault and therefore a
- 3 -
potential fluid conduit,
Exploration of linear gold-in-soil anomalies occurring over a large, up-right antiform structure in the
western portion of the (Goldpines South) property, particularly where the southern limb is cut by the
Sydney Lake Fault.
Review of government geological and geophysical data, historic assessment file data including the results of the
recent exploration is ongoing to determine a plan for an initial program of field work by the company to evaluate
the potential of the Property to host an economic gold deposit. The reader is cautioned that Confederation has not
directly verified past data in the field at this time, but that will form the basis of future site work.
Engagement and ongoing dialogue with the local Aboriginal and First Nation groups will occur as the scope of
exploration work is formalized.
The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, completion
of satisfactory due diligence, approval of the Transaction by the respective boards of directors, and regulatory
approvals.
