A MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT APPROVES DISCHARGE OF 1025 PORTAL WATER AT WILLA GOLD/COPPER/SILVER DEPOSIT

MX Gold Corp. has provided an update on permitting at the Willa deposit near Silverton, B.C.

Short-term water discharge approved, Ministry of Environment, Aug. 31, 2016

The Ministry of Environment has determined that the Willa portal water discharge will have negligible effects on the downstream environment. The approval is to allow water currently discharging from the 1025 portal onto the surface to be routed directly to Aylwin Creek, enabling the company to prepare for geotechnical testwork in the proposed settling pond location. Notice of work applications have now been submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Mines for the start of the testwork.

Bert McPherson, president and chief operating officer of MX Gold, comments: "As we take steps towards our work permits, we are assembling additional site management senior staff to accelerate our activities. The team will be in place in two weeks. This is a very busy but exciting time for MX Gold as we are now advancing at a rapid pace."

MX Gold Corp. is focused on the mining, exploration and development of advanced projects located in the Kootenay region of British Columbia. The company's primary focus is its high-grade Willa gold and copper project located 12 kilometres south of Silverton, B.C.
