NEWS RELEASE
Tres-Or Reports Final Assay Results from its 2017 Drilling Program and
Begins Ground Geophysics at the Fontana Gold Project, Quebec
Vancouver, B.C. – December 8, 2017 - Tres-Or Resources Ltd. (“Tres -Or” or the “Company” )
(TSX-V: TRS , OTCPK: TRSFF ) is pleased to provide an update on its forthcoming ground
geophysical program at its wholly owned Fontana Gold Project and report final drill results from
the Company’s 2017 drilling program. Fontana, the Company’s flagship project is located 10 km
northeast of Amos, and 65 km north of Val-d’Or, Quebec.
“The drill results from our first four holes confirm strongly enriched gold mineralization in our
priority Hooper and Bunkhouse zones . The su lphide-rich character of the Hooper Zone gold
mineralization, combined with the shallow depths, gives us the opportunity to use high-resolution
ground geophysics to extend the gold mineralizat ion and find new targets at Fontana,” said Laura
Lee Duffett, Tres-Or’s President and CEO.
High Resolution Ground Electromagnetic (“EM”) Survey
Tres-Or will be commencing a high -resolution ground electromagnetic ( HLEM) survey at its
Fontana Gold Project. The survey lines will be closely spaced at 25 meter line apart, focusing on
the intersection of priority gold zones known from historical records and confirmed by Tres -Or’s
2017 drill program, as described below. T he geophysical survey will use the horizontal loop
method, to detect conductive features such as the semi-massive to massive sulphide veins that carry
gold in this area. The Company expects this HLEM survey to better define and extend known gold
bearing structures as well as to identify new targets.
Tres-Or 2017 Drilling Program Final Results Received
In 2017 Tres-Or completed a four hole drilling program totaling 897 m testing the high priority
Hooper Zone and Bunkhouse Zone targets which occur within the Fontana Gold Zone. Further to
the Company’s May 31 st, 2017 news release announcing results for holes F17 -01 and F17 -02, the
Company is pleased to announce results for holes F17 -03 and F17-04, which both intersected gold
mineralization.

The Hooper Zone comprises massive to semi -massive sulfide veins which returned 46.1 g/t Au
over 0.5 m in Hole F17-01; 2.99 g/t Au over 7.0 m in the second hole (including 15. 91 g/t Au over
1.0 m) and 3.49 g/t Au over 0.40 m in the third hole (Table 1). Similar sulfide rich intervals in the
fourth hole yielded 1.00 g/t Au over 3.25 m from 18.25 to 21.50 m depth, including 5.70 g/t Au
over 0.5 m (Table 1). The Hooper Zone intersection in F17-01 also carried 2.33% copper (Cu) and
98.5 g/t silver (Ag).
The Bunkhouse Zone is a deformed (sheared) white quartz vein with strong gold mineralization
and only trace sulfides. Tres -Or’s first drill hole F17 -01 intersected 10.41 g/t Au over 1.0 m and
the second drill hole intersected 0.88 g/t Au over 2. 0 m from t his quartz dominated Bunkhouse
Zone (Table 1). The Bunkhouse Zone forms a laterally extensive steeply dipping plane, traced for
more than 600 m in a northeast-southwest trend.
The Fontana property hosts significant historical gold minerali zation. The Bunkhouse Z one
appears to extend over 300 m from the main Fontana shear southwest past the Hooper Zone (Figure
1). The Hooper Z one extends west and northwest more than 100 m from reported historic work.
Assuming success in recognizing the intersected gold zones, this HLEM geophysical survey will be
expanded to cover and identify other priority gold targets at Fontana for confirmation testing.
About the Fontana Gold Project
The Fontana Gold Project is the most advanced project in the Amos area of Quebec. It has been
the subject of considerable past work, including the sinking of a 92 meter shaft, excavation of 242
meters of underground workings, completion of over 300 drill holes, and processing of 22,047
tonnes of bulk sample material yielding 1,450 ounces of gold.
Gold mineralization within the Fontana Gold Zone occurs within quartz veins and veinlets spatially
associated with a number of northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast trending shear zones.
Multiple zones of high-priority gold occurrences have been reported, including:
Bunkhouse Zone: Steeply dipping shear zone, extends for some 600 meters in a northeast-
south-west direction. Gold occurs within white quartz veins with trace sulphides
Hooper Zone: Shear zone hosting massive to semi massive sulphide veins, which extends
west and northwest more than 100 meters from the Bunkhouse Zone
Fontana Main Shear Zone: a northwest-southeast trending shear zone defined for some
400 meters.
Some of the best historic drill intersections were reported at the intersection of the Hooper and
Bunkhouse zones, including 17.5 g/t gold over 38.1 meters (Drill Hole JB200B) and 17.1 g/t gold
over 13.7 meters (Drill Hole JB200).

2017 Drilling Program Sampling Protocols
Drill core samples were logged, sawn in half, with one half sent to Techni-lab S.G.B. Abitibi Inc in
Ste Germaine-Boulé, Québec, a division of ActLabs. At the lab, samples were analyzed for gold by
fire assay and atomic absorption using a 5 g aliquot, wit h those samples returning > 3 g/t gold then
repeated using a 30 g aliquot and gravimetric finish. Sample splits were also analyzed for 55
elements by induction coupled pyrolysis (ICP) by Actlabs. Techni -Lab holds a certificate of
accreditation conforming to ISO 17025:2005 for the processes used in this analysis.
