Pistol Bay Options Out Fredart-Gerry Lake Properties
Red Lake, Ontario
 
Vancouver, B.C. - September 04, 2019: Pistol Bay Mining Inc. (TSX-V - PST; Frankfurt - OQS2, OTC/Pink Sheet symbol SLT
--->FF) ("Pistol Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, it ha
--->s entered into an option agreement whereby Belmont Resources Inc will option from Pistol Bay its Fredart-Gerry Lake pr
--->operties in Red Lake, Ontario.

Fredart/Gerry Lake Property Acquisition -Red Lake Mining Division

Pistol Bay is pleased to announce that they have entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement (the "Agreement
--->") with Belmont Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BEA) on its Fredart-Gerry Lake and several adjoining claim groups in the Confed
--->eration Lake greenstone belt, approximately 70km southeast of Red Lake, Ontario.  The Arrow Zone-Garnet Lake, an adjoi
--->ning claim block also owned by Pistol Bay contains an Inferred Mineral Resource (2017 NI 43-101) containing 2.1 millio
--->n tonnes @ 5.78% Zn, 0.72% Cu, 195g/t Ag, and 0.60 g/t Au as filed on SEDAR - September 2017.  The geological setting 
--->of the Fredart and associated claims is similar to the Garnet Lake claims area.
The Fredart property had 124 drill holes between 1956 and 2003, totaling 22,500 metres. Additional drilling on the wes
--->tern extension of the Fredart trend and the Joy-Caravelle area has not been compiled yet. The Copperlode "A" or Fredar
--->t Zone deposit has a historical mineral resource of 425,000 tonnes grading 1.56% copper. This historical resource esti
--->mate does not comply with the standards of NI 43-101 and has not been reviewed by a Qualified Person. The zone was dri
--->ll-tested to a depth of approximately 200 metres over a length of 350 metres, and was reported as being open at depth.
---> Only portions of the drill holes were assayed for gold, due to the low price of gold at the time. The area was also e
--->xplored for molybdenum in the 1970s, and samples containing up to 1.46% Mo were reported. 
Access to the area is by all-weather roads, and a first class gravel road for 40km from the town of Ear Falls, along t
--->he length of the property. Local resources include the availability of skilled labour; a 115kV transmission line from 
--->Ear Falls hydro-electric generating station to Pickle Lake and Musselwhite crosses the property; natural gas at Ear Fa
--->lls; and water is readily available throughout the area. 
The Fredart property and additional claim units comprises 406 mining claims with an area of approx. 6,700 hectares (16
--->,500 acres). It covers a 17 km length of the Confederation Lake greenstone belt. It includes two substantial mineral d
--->eposits and a number of mineralized drill intersections that are ready for follow-up drill testing. Mineralization on 
--->the property is of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) type, dominated by zinc, copper and silver, with occasional ass
--->ociated gold values and areas drilled but untested for gold. The mafic-dominated part of the belt hosts an iron format
--->ion, which defines the Fredart-Gerry Lake "favourable horizon." Iron formations are very often associated with gold mi
--->neralization. 

/
The property is 25 km northeast of the Dixie property - owned by Great Bear Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: GBR) that has been 
--->reporting high-grade gold intersections and their pace of discoveries has accelerated. Numerous other junior venture c
--->ompanies have been exploring the area, which is becoming one of the most active mining camps in Ontario. 
In 2017 a VTEM Plus survey was completed which covers most of the greenstone belt. Airborne magnetics and electromagne
--->tic anomalies are superimposed on the Ontario government surveys. Mag from the VTEM survey suggests the presence of gr
--->anitic intrusions below surface in the northeast part of the Fredart area. The VTEM survey revealed two, or even three
---> parallel conductive responses over large parts of the Fredart-Gerry Lake trend. 
Also included in the claim block is the Joy-Caravelle area. This western end of the property area contains multiple zo
--->nes of Zn-Cu VMS deposits in a felsic-dominated part of the belt. Drill hole assays reported were as high as 21.6% Zn,
---> 0.13% Cu over 0.25m; 17.17% Zn, 0.28% Cu over 0.60m; 4.01% Cu over 3.55m; to name a few. Most of the drill holes were
---> not assayed for gold. The Joy North claim has an undrilled 1100 metre long conductor, which is at a different stratig
--->raphic horizon from the Fredart-Gerry Lake trend, and is unexplored. 
Terms of the Option: 
The Options terms over a three-year period are as follows: 
For a 65% Interest: 
$40,000 cash and 1.5 million shares upon Exchange approval; 
$50,000 cash and 1.5 million shares -1st year Anniversary of Exchange approval;
$50,000 cash and 1.0 million shares - 2nd year Anniversary of Exchange approval. 
Belmont can earn an additional 10% interest (total 75%) upon completion of 2nd anniversary obligations by payment of $
--->200,000 in cash. Belmont and Pistol Bay would then enter into a joint venture agreement. A royalty of 2% Net Smelter R
--->eturns ("NSR") is payable to Glencore plc on all the claims except the Fredart Claims, where a 2% NSR royalty is payab
--->le to Perry English, with a $10,000 annual advance royalty payment to Mr. English.
