Alianza Launches Drill Campaign at Haldane Silver Project, Keno Hill District,

Yukon Territory

• Phase One to test West Fault & Middlecoff targets

• Phase Two drilling committed for Spring 2021

Vancouver, BC, October 26, 2020 - Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ANZ, OTC: TARSF) (“Alianza” or

the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Phase One drilling program has commenced at the

Company’s wholly-owned Haldane high- grade silver property located in the historic Keno Hill Mining

District of Yukon Territory. The 8,579 hectare H aldane Property is located 25 kilometres west of Keno

City, YT in the western portion of the Keno Hil l Silver District. Exploration at Haldane is targeting

extensions of historic high-grade silver production as well as newly defined targets in new areas of the

property.

“While the Haldane property has a long exploration history, it has not had a lot of d rilling,” stated Jason

Weber, P.Geo, President and CEO of Alianza. “We are fortunate to have targets at both the Middlecoff

and West Fault where strong silver -lead +/- gold mineralization has been identified but never followed

up.”

A total of 10 holes (approximately 2,500 metres) are planned in the current program with Phase One

consisting of 6 holes this fall. The initial phase of drilling will target the West Fault, one kilometre north

of the Middlecoff Zone in the core of the property (known as the Mt. Haldane Vein System - “MHVS”). A

previous operator intersected the West Fault mineralization in one hole in 2011, returning 320 g/t

silver, 1.1 g/t gold and 0.7% lead over 2.20 metres. Three holes are planned to test the target down

dip and along strike of the 2011 intersection.

The second target area is the extension of the Middlecoff Zone to the south of 2019 drilling where

HLD19-16 intersected 455.0 g/t silver over 1.02 metres and 996 g/t silver, 1.486 g/t gold and 28.35%

lead over 0.35 metres ). Three holes are planned to test the southern extension of the Middlecoff

intersections and to also follow up a historic underground drillhole that was reported to have returned

2,791 g/t silver over 1.2 metres, 150 metres south of the 2019 drilling.

A follow-up Phase Two drilling program will be undertaken in the spring of 2021, further targeting both

the West Fault and Middlecoff veins , as well as the recently discovered Bighorn Zone (2.35 metres of

125 g/t silver and 4.39 % lead from the first and only hole) as well as other targets on the property.
