NEWS RELEASE

Volcanic provides update regarding its exploration projects and Guinean

operations

November 7, 2018 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Volcanic Gold Mines Inc. (“Volcanic”) (TSXV: VG)

announces that its Guinean operating subsidiary, Guiord SA (“Guiord”), has not been successful in securing

renewed title to its Mandiana Project exploration permits in the Republic of Guinea.

Further to its news release of February 5, 2018, Volcanic has made considerable efforts to renew said title, a

process that has been s ignificantly hampered by irregularities and intransigence on the part of the former

Administrateur Générale of Guiord. As well, the permit renewal process has been hindered by a lack of

administrative clarity and a high degree of uncertainty on the part of the Government of Guinea . In

particular, the Ministry of Mines and Geology has declined to acknowledge the authority of Volcanic’s CEO

as the new Administrateur Générale of Guiord despite his appointment being duly and legally registered with

the Cour d’Appel de Conakry.

With no improvement expected in dealing with the Ministry of Mines and Geology, the Board of Directors of

Volcanic has determined that it is not in the best interests of its shareholders to continue working in Guinea

at thi s time . The Company is investigating its means of legal recourse in this matter, including seeking

compensatory damages from the former Administrateur Générale of Guiord within and beyond the Republic

of Guinea.

Volcanic also announces that it has withdrawn from its previously announced proposed acquisition of

exploration permits located in the Ivory Coast. The results of management’s due diligence exploration work

did not justify continuing with the project.
