VULCAN MINERALS INC. ACQUIRES LIZARD POND GOLD PROPERTY IN NEWFOUNDLAND

Vulcan Minerals Inc. has acquired, by staking, the Lizard Pond gold property in central Newfoundland. The property consists of 62 claims (1,550 hectares) covering five gold showings: Lizard Pond, Lizard Pond South, Lizard Pond extension, Swan Pond and Breccia Pond. Of these, the Lizard Pond South showing has received the most attention, having initially yielded channel samples of 12.6 grams per tonne gold over 0.4 metre and 6.6 grams per tonne gold over 1.2 metres. Follow-up drilling included hole LP 87-01, which assayed 0.8 gram per tonne gold over 15 metres (66.6 metres to 81.6 metres depth), including one gram per tonne gold over eight metres (72.6 metres to 80.6 metres depth). Approximately 500 metres east, the Lizard Pond extension assayed 1.6 grams per tonne gold over 5.4 metres (41.3 metres to 46.7 metres) in drill hole MO-90-10. The Breccia Pond showing is located approximately 1,500 metres east of the Lizard Pond showing and yielded a channel sample of 3.2 grams per tonne gold over one metre. Two rounds of drilling were conducted on the property in 1989 (totalling 510 metres) and 1990 (totalling 1,371 metres) by different operators, most of which focused on delineating the Lizard Pond South showing. Prospecting by another operator in 2006 resampled (grab) the Lizard Pond South showing with up to 22 grams per tonne gold and up to 8.2 grams per tonne gold at the Lizard Pond extension.

The gold prospects are hosted in ophiolitic ultramafic rocks and sediments of Lower Paleozoic age. They have been hydrothermally altered over several kilometres along a major fault zone. The gold occurs in vuggy chalcedonic and breccia and quartz veining within a larger silica-magnesite altered sequence in fault contact with gold-enriched sediments. The property has not been surveyed with modern geophysical techniques. Given the wide distribution of gold occurrences, the scarcity of outcrop, the high-grade nature of the showings where exposed at surface and the apparent structural control of the hydrothermal alteration system, it is felt the property warrants appropriate geophysical investigation toward identifying potential traps for gold enrichment.

The property also contains a potentially significant deposit of magnesite, which is a prime source of magnesium. The company will evaluate the historical information regarding the nature of the deposit and its commercial potential. The information pertaining to the property is taken from historical assessment reports filed by past explorers with the government of Newfoundland and Labrador's Department of Natural Resources.

The company is in the process of compiling all available information toward designing an exploration program. The company anticipates a 2016 program of geophysics and mapping toward identifying drill targets. The property is adjacent to the Baie d'Espoir highway, approximately 50 kilometres south of the town of Grand Falls-Windsor.
