Velocity Drilling Intersects 84 meters @ 0.99 g/t gold

and 61 meters @ 1.47 g/t gold at the advanced

Rozino Gold Project, Southeast Bulgaria.

Vancouver, British Columbia – Velocity Minerals Ltd . ( TSXV: VLC) (“ Velocity” or the “ Company”)

announces that it has received laboratory results for two additional drill holes (Figure 1, Table 1) at the

Company’s advanced Rozino gold project (“Rozino” or the “ Project”), located within the Tintyava

prospecting and exploration licence area in southeastern Bulgaria. Velocity’s exploration target is near -

surface, potentially open pittable epithermal gold mineralization. Drilling at Rozino is ongoing with nine

drill holes completed to date (Figure 2) and mineralization remains open.

“The cross section shows three drill holes, each with 70 to 95 meters of near-surface, near-continuous

downhole mineralization at greater than 0.5g/t gold.” stated Keith Henderson, Velocity’s President & CEO.

“This is the first time in Velocity’s drill program that we can look at multiple drill holes on a single cross

section and the result is impressive.”

Table 1: Drill Results from Velocity Drill Holes 1,2, 3 & 4 at Rozino. Intersects are calculated using a 0.2 g/t gold

trigger, a minimum 0.5 g/t gold composite, and a maximum of 2 meters consecutive waste.

Results from Holes 1 and 2 are discussed in detail in previous news release (August 21, 2017).

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

The work program at Rozino was designed and is supervised by Stuart A. Mills, CGeol, the Company's Vice-

President Exploration, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality

assurance program. On-site personnel at the project rigorously collect and track samples which are then

security sealed and shipped to ALS Global laboratory in Romania. Samples used for the results described

herein are prepared and analyzed by fire assay using a 30-gram charge in compliance with industry

standards. Field duplicate samples, blanks and independent controlled reference material (standards) are

added to every batch. Drill intersections in this news release are calculated using a 0.2 g/t gold trigger, a

minimum 0.5 g/t gold composite, and a maximum of 2 meters consecutive waste.
