INDEPENDENCE GOLD COMMENCES FOLLOW-UP DRILLING AT THE SUNRISE ZONE, BOULEVARD PROJECT, YUKON

Independence Gold Corp. has commenced a $600,000 reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its 100-per-cent-owned Boulevard project, located in the White Gold district 135 kilometres south of Dawson City, Yukon, and contiguous to the Coffee gold project currently being advanced by Kaminak Gold Corp. Detailed ground magnetic surveying and geological mapping, to better define drill targets, have commenced.

The company intends to drill approximately 1,400 metres to further delineate the newly discovered Sunrise zone, where the company intersected 7.23 grams per tonne (g/t) gold across 12.2 metres in RC drill hole BV15-31 (see the company's news release dated Aug. 24, 2015). Drill hole BV15-31 ended in mineralization at 70.10 m depth, with mineralization open in all directions. Gold mineralization is hosted within silicified quartzite crosscut by quartz veins containing pyrite and pyrrhotite, along an inferred northeasterly trending fault structure. The Sunrise zone is centrally located within a 550 m long gold- and arsenic-in-soil anomaly, nine km southwest of Kaminak's Coffee deposit.
