SILVER RANGE SAMPLES HIGH GRADE GOLD AT TREE RIVER PROJECT

October 9, 2018 – Silver Range Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:SNG) (“Silver Range”) is pleased to

announce high grade gold results from recent surface exploration on a Witwatersrand -type

prospect at its wholly owned Tree River Project in Nunavut.

From August 15 to 23, a two-man crew conducted geological mapping and prospecting along an

auriferous Archean quartz pebble conglomerate (QPC). At the Main Zone, the site of historic

work by BHP Billiton and Strongbow Exploration, grab samples returned up to 114 g/t Au and a

chip sample returned 0.20 m @ 54 0 g/t Au . A second zone of mineralization, 3.6 km along

strike (West Zone) , returned grab samples up to 14.05 g/t Au . A total of 88 rock samples were

collected during the program, 5 7 of which were taken from the QPC. Four of the QPC samples

assayed greater 9 g/t Au and background gold content in the QPC, estimated by averaging 53

QPC samples grading less than 2.5 g/t Au, is very anomalous at 0.203 g/t Au.

The QPC ranges from 5 to 8 m thick in exposures along the seven km of investigated strike

length. Mineralized areas within the QPC , primarily near the base, contain disseminated pyrite,

arsenopyrite and locally chalcopyrite and stibnite. The Main Zone is exposed intermittently

over a strike length of 650 m and is strongly silicified. The West Zone is partially exposed over

a length of 300 m and remains open along strike in both directions . Mineralization there is

characterized by high ar senopyrite (scorodite) content. The presence of v isible gold along

fractures at the Main Zone, together with recrystallized quartz and sulphides, and some sulphide-

bearing fractures indicate that the mineralization is at least partially remobilized. Ther e is no

evidence of any major nearby structure and surrounding rocks are metamorphosed to greenschist

facies, suggesting remobilization is likely local and related to regional metamorphism. The QPC

has been dated between 2,940 and 2,700 Ma based on detrit al zircons (Jackson, 1997) . This

places it in the favourable time window for the “Great Gold Deposition Event” (Hennigh, 2016).

Gold deposits in the Witwatersrand district in South Africa and the Pilbara region of Western

Australia were formed during this favourable geological time period.

Work on the Tree River Project was conducted by Aurora Geoscience Ltd. of Yellowknife NT

under the supervision of Senior Project Manager Carl Schulz e, P.Geo. Samples were shipped

under secure chain of custody to ALS L aboratories in Yellowknife, NT for sample preparation .

Pulps were shipped to North Vancouver , BC for assaying and geochemical analyses. Rock

samples were analyzed by Ultra -Trace Aqua Regia ICP -MS (ALS Code ME -MS41) and fire

assayed for gold (50 g sample) (ALS Code Au-AA26).
