VTEM Plus(TM) identifies numerous NEW conductors at Confederation Lake

September 11, 2017: Pistol Bay Mining Inc. (TSX-V - PST; Frankfurt - OQS2) ("Pistol Bay" or the "Company') is pleased 
--->to provide an update of our activities for the past few months. 

The Company has received the final results of a 2,100 line-kilometer helicopter-borne electromagnetic and magnetic sur
--->vey of the eastern two-thirds of its properties in the Confederation Lake greenstone belt, covering a 40- kilometer le
--->ngth of the belt.  The survey was carried out by Geotech Ltd., using its VTEM Plus(TM) system. Geotech is an industry 
--->leader in airborne electromagnetic surveying, and the VTEM Plus(TM) system has successfully detected conductive zones 
--->at depths of several hundred meters.  The latest versions of VTEM have succeeded in detecting an "IP Effect" response,
---> which is capable of responding to disseminated sulphides. Horizontal gradient magnetometers allow the creation of "gr
--->adient-enhanced magnetic" grids, which give resolution of fine structural details, at a level that would have required
---> a closer line spacing in previous single-magnetometer airborne surveys. 

After reviewing the survey data with the Company's consulting geophysicist, Jeremy S Brett of MPH Consulting Limited, 
--->the following observations were made: 

 Conductive responses were confirmed at all historic showings, zones and mineralized drill intersections; 
There are conductive extensions of several known zones, beyond sections that have been drilled in the past;
There are untested conductors on strike with known mineralized zones or occurrences;
There are new clusters of conductors, away from any known mineralization, that are in areas of favorable geology, and 
--->constitute new target areas; 
Numerous IP effect anomalies have been identified, either as separate anomalies or as extensions of conductors. 

Appraisal of targets from the VTEM Plus(TM) survey is continuing.  The database of whole-rock chemical analyses, inher
--->ited from Noranda by Tribute Minerals Inc., is an important tool in evaluating anomalies, because it can highlight are
--->as of favorable geology and hydrothermal alteration. 

Charles Desjardins, CEO of Pistol Bay, commented "this is an exciting time for Pistol Bay.  We are working to develop 
--->and prioritize targets for ground follow-up and drill testing.  Because of the large number of potential targets gener
--->ated by the VTEM survey, we are considering inviting joint venture partners for all or parts of the Confederation Lake
---> project. We have had early-stage discussions with potential joint venture partners.  Once we've got our targets final
--->ized, we will be entertaining proposals for joint ventures to advance this highly prospective property." 

In another development, the Company has received a new NI43-101 technical report on the Garnet Lake property (which in
--->cludes the Fredart and Lucky 7 claim groups).  The report includes a new Inferred Mineral Resource for the Arrow Zone:
---> 2,100,000 tonnes with average grades of 5.78% zinc, 0.72% copper, 0.60 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 19.5 g/t silver
--->.  The resource is based on a cutoff grade of 3% zinc equivalent, and a 3 metre minimum true width.  The technical rep
--->ort recommends 2,000 metres of diamond drilling to test for possible down-plunge extensions of the Arrow Zone.  The re
--->port can be viewed under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com.

The Fredart "A" zone has a historical resource of 368,000 tonnes grading 1.56% copper and 33.6 g/t silver.  The method
---> used to calculate that resource is not disclosed sufficiently in historic reports to allocate that resource estimate 
--->to any of the current accepted categories of mineral resource or mineral reserve. No Qualified Person has reviewed the
---> resource to assess its quality or relevance. As a historic estimate, it should not be relied on.  Several of the hist
--->oric drill holes in the Fredart "A" zone reported substantial widths - drill hole FA1966-15 reportedly cut 40.42 meter
--->s averaging 1.40% copper and 21.1 g/t silver, including a higher grade section of 16.22 meters grading 2.67% copper an
--->d 48.3 g/t silver. 

Technical information in this news release has been provided or approved by Colin Bowdidge, Ph.D., P.Geo., a Qualified
---> Person as the term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 and consulting geologist for Pistol Bay.
