Strikepoint Gold to complete buy of Porter property

Mr. Shawn Khunkhun reports

STRIKEPOINT COMPLETES THE TRANSACTION OF THE HIGH-GRADE SILVER PORTER PROPERTY

In relation to the amended share purchase agreement (see news release dated July 23, 2018) between Strikepoint Gold Inc. and Skeena Resources Ltd., regarding the acquisition of the wholly owned subsidiary Mount Rainy Silver Inc., the company intends to complete all payments thereunder. Mount Rainy was a private entity holding the company's interests in the Porter property immediately southeast of Stewart in northwestern British Columbia. The company will pay the outstanding balance of $750,000 due on or before Dec. 31, 2019, by issuing 18.75 million common shares of the company to Skeena based on a deemed price per share equal to the 20-trading day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the company's shares. The shares issued will bear a four-month regulatory hold period.

Shawn Khunkhun states: "We are excited to have met all outstanding obligations towards the 100-per-cent interest of the high-grade Silver Porter property. Furthermore, we are pleased to welcome Skeena as our largest shareholder. Strikepoint is now well positioned for 2020 with our two flagship precious metals properties in the prolific Golden Triangle, Willoughby and Porter."

The Porter -- Silverado mines

The Porter project contains two shears-hosted silver-rich vein systems: the Silverado and Prosperity-Porter Idaho. The showings are two kilometres apart, located on opposite sides of Mt. Rainey, overlooking the town of Stewart. The project is located strategically at the head of the Portland Canal, a deepwater port with year-round, ice-free access.

The initial discovery of silver mineralization on Mt. Rainey occurred in the early 1900s. Prosperity-Porter Idaho veins were the focus of the initial work. The mineralization is hosted in six parallel-dipping shear zones, traced 200 metres on surface and one kilometre down dip with widths between two and 13 metres. The vein system was mined between 1929 and 1931 and produced 27,123 tonnes with recovered grades of 2,542 grams per tonne silver (73.8 ounces per ton) and one g/t gold (yielding approximately 2.2 million ounces of silver). The ore was shipped to the port at Stewart via aerial tramway.

Historic silver resource

The Porter project contains a historical indicated resource of 394,700 tonnes grading 868 g/t silver, 3.37 per cent lead and 1.41 per cent zinc (435,000 tons at 25.2 ounces/ton silver or a contained 11 million ounces) and an inferred resource of 88,900 tonnes grading 595 g/t silver (97,900 tons at 17.3 oz/ton silver or a contained 1.7 million ounces).

Estimates of mineral resources are dated March 10, 2008, and were prepared by independent consulting geologist N.C. Carter, PhD, PEng, for Raimount Energy Inc. and restated for Mount Rainey Silver Inc. on May 15, 2012, according to CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves. The previous estimates made use of an extensive database detailing both underground sampling programs as well as surface and underground diamond drilling. The reader is cautioned that the qualified person on behalf of Strikepoint has not done sufficient work to verify either the underlying sampling data or the calculation methodology to consider this to be a current resource, and as a result, Strikepoint is treating this mineral resource as a historical estimate, as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Strikepoint has not yet determined what work needs to be completed to upgrade or verify the historical estimate.

The completion of the transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
