Torq Relinquishes Property Options to Pursue High Impact Opportunities

Globally

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 23, 2018 -- Torq Resources Inc. (TSX-V: TORQ, “Torq” or the “Company”) has

decided, based upon the scale and risk of the opportunities, that West Mercur and Newfoundland do not meet the Company’s

strict geological requirements. The projects will no longer represent a financial obligation for Torq, allowing the Company to

focus on the acquisition of projects that will deliver the highest shareholder value. Torq is currently reviewing several

opportunities.

A Statement from Michael Kosowan, President and CEO:

“The Company is well-financed with over $13M in its treasury. In these opportunistic markets, we are confident in making more

accretive acquisitions that will lead to a world-class gold discovery.”

On Behalf of the Board,

Michael Kosowan

President and CEO
