December 22, 2017: Pistol Bay Mining Inc. (TSX-V - PST; Frankfurt - OQS2) ("Pistol Bay" or the "Company') is pleased t
--->o announce that it has been assigned the Legal Entity Identifier ("LEI") number 5299009H8LVJKFT8ZN10. The European Uni

About the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)
The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) number is a 20-digit alphanumeric code.  It is an internationally standardized and g
--->lobally valid identifier for financial market participants. Its purpose is to clearly and unequivocally identify contr
--->acting parties (e.g., companies, banks, and investment funds). It is used to comply with a variety of financial report
--->ing requirements.  The Deutsche Borse Group has stated that "the LEI will clearly assist the regulatory authorities in
---> monitoring and analysing threats to the stability of the financial markets, (but) it can also be utilised by counterp
--->arties internally for risk management purposes."
Pistol Bay meets the requirement for all companies listed on German Stock Exchanges (ie. Frankfurt Stock Exchange) to 
--->have an LEI number by January 3, 2018. 
According to the website of the Deutsche B{{ӧ ӧ} ӧ}rse Group, the LEI number will affect most aspects of t
--->he securities markets in Europe, including trading, clearing, settlement, custody, collateral and liquidity management
--->, market data and indices. (See http://deutsche-boerse.com/dbg-en/regulation/regulatorytopics/legal-entity-identifier)
