OTIS APPOINTS VP OF EXPLORATION

Otis Gold Corp. has appointed Alan Roberts, MSc, CPG, as its vice-president of exploration. Mr. Roberts has over 25 years global experience at various exploration and resource development projects throughout North America, Central and South America, China and Africa. He was most recently the exploration project manager for Newcastle Gold at the Castle Mountain epithermal gold project in California.

His experience includes drill program design and implementation, resource and geologic model development and technical reporting, prefeasibility study project supervision, geologic mapping and sampling, site logistics and management, and program budgeting. His education includes a master of science degree in mineral exploration and geophysics from the Royal School of Mines in London, United Kingdom. Mr. Roberts is a certified professional geologist with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG).

Otis president and chief executive officer, Craig Lindsay, states: "We are very pleased to welcome Alan to lead our exploration efforts. His broad experience with similar types of deposits will be instrumental in advancing Kilgore. Alan has significant experience implementing large exploration programs and is an excellent fit for Otis as we begin the process of aggressively testing emerging high-priority targets at Kilgore and Oakley and discovering new deposits. As well, his project development experience will be invaluable as we begin moving Kilgore toward a potential production decision. Alan will be a strong complement to our senior geologic team comprising Dr. John Carden and Mitch Bernardi, who have been instrumental to the development of Otis since inception, and will be working on exploration matters with Alan in an advisory capacity."

Vice-president of exploration, Mr. Roberts, states: "I am excited to have the opportunity to work on the company's exploration programs in Idaho -- it is a fascinating area of the country that I look forward to exploring. I believe there is potential for significant discoveries to be made and lots of room for growth at both Kilgore and Oakley. My first order of business will be to review and assess fieldwork completed by Otis in 2017, and develop an exploration plan for our projects."
