Drilling Underway at Haldane Silver Project, Keno Hill District, Yukon

Territory

Vancouver, BC, May 17, 2021 - Alianza Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: ANZ, OTCQB: TARSF) (“Alianza” or

the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Phase Two diamond 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 Hill 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.

The 2021 program will focus on the West Fault target, where drilling intersected 16.15 m (estimated

true width 8.72 m) averaging 311 g/t silver, 0.89% lead and 1.13% zinc. This includes a high-

grade interval of 818 g/t silver, 3.47% lead and 1.03% zinc (980 g/t silver -equivalent) over 3.3 m

(1.78 m estimated true width). This phase of drilling will systematically follow up on this result testing

along strike and down dip to define possible high-grade mineralized shoots associated with the 2020

intersection. The target remains open in all directions. It is expected that up to 4 holes will be completed

in the current campaign.

The West Fault structure is traced for over 650 metres and can be interpreted to extend to 1 .1

kilometres in length before merging with the 2.2 k ilometre-long Main Zone structure. Drilling to date at

the West Fault consists of a total of 5 holes testing two 50 metre segments of the vein that are

separated by a distance of 260 metres. Drill test ing to date covers only a fraction of the West Fault

target and the current program systematically test the vein in approximate 50 metre step- outs to the

south and downdip. The West Fault is one of four high -priority silver-lead-zinc-bearing vein drill targets

at Haldane.

“Our 2020 program intersected the widest vein mineralization to date at Haldane,” stated Jason Weber,

P.Geo., president and CEO of Alianza. “We have only just started to explore this vein structure, with

only five holes in total testing it. We look forward to building on this result and starting to show the size

potential of this productive part of the West Fault system.”
