Algold Comments on Recent Share Price Movement and Updates on Phase III Progress

MONTREAL, May 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

ALGOLD RESOURCES LTD. (ALG: TSX-V - the "Corporation") announced today that the company is not aware of any specific reason, other than short-term fluctuations in commodity prices, that might be contributing to the recent fluctuations in the company's share price.

Francois Auclair, Algold CEO stated: "We are continuing to build on the momentum from the publication of our NI 43-101 report in early May 2017 and Phase III drilling results on our flagship Tijirit Property in Mauritania, are starting to flow. With approximately 60% of our Phase III drilling completed, the results published to date represent less than 30% of the 25,000 meters of Phase III. As of May 1^st, 2017, Algold has sent to the SGS Bamako lab facility for analysis 6,594 samples (excluding QA/QC) from the Phase III drilling program. To date, Algold has received 4,095 results, with assays still pending for 1,963 RC and 536 DDH samples. Samples shipments to the laboratory take place on a weekly basis, and Algold anticipates releasing assays results as they become available in the coming weeks. The Phase III drilling program is focused on further increasing the resource base of the Tijirit Project.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
