GRAY ROCK Drilling Program to Commence at Hot Bath Project

Exploration Programs

GRAY ROCK DRILLING PROGRAM TO COMMENCE AT HOT BATH PROJECT

Gray Rock Resources Ltd. (GRK: TSX.V, “Gray Rock” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a drill is now on

site for the 2017 program on Gray Rock’s Hot Bath Project near Dease Lake in northwestern British Columbia. This

season’s drill program will start within the next few days.

Gray Rock acquired its option on th e Hot Bath property from DeCoors Mining in June 2017 (see the Company’s

press release dated June 19, 2017 for further details). The property was originally acquired by DeCoors in 2014

based on results from an airborne magnetic geophysical survey, rock geo chemistry and geological mapping

completed as part of Geoscience BC’s Quest Northwest study. This study supports the interpretation of mid-

Jurassic calc-alkaline intrusives that are known to be favourable host rocks for copper -gold mineralization.

Subsequent exploration by DeCoors in 2015 and 2016 included 760 MMI geochemical samples, 12 line kilometers of

Induced Polarization and 3.5 line kilometers of magnetometer geophysical data. This data identified an extensive

area, 800 meters by 1 kilometer of coin cident high chargeability geophysical values and anomalous MMI copper,

and other indicator minerals in soils. During DeCoors’ exploration program, an oxidized quartz -chalcopyrite vein

near the centre of the MMI/IP anomaly was exposed and sampled. Rock samples from this vein returned values

over 3% copper and 3 grams per tonne gold. These rock samples were selective and may not be indicative of the

mineralization of the property (please refer to the Company’s press release dated June 19, 2017 for further d etails).

From the previous work on the project potential copper-gold porphyry targets have been identified. The First target

has been identified as a large (300m x 300m) subcropping body interpreted from the chargeability values from the

induced polarization survey. It lies under copper and gold anomalies detected in the MMI geochemical survey. The

drill holes were primarily selected from Induced Polarization chargeability anomalies with supporting evidence from

MMI geochemical sampling. The program calls for 1,000 meters of drilling in up to 5 holes. Permits are in place, drill

platforms and field camp has been constructed and the drill and field crews are mobilizing. Drilling is anticipated to

begin this week.
