Pelangio Exploration Inc.: Pelangio Exploration Grants Extension On Gowan Property Option To Amex Exploration Inc.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 23, 2019 / Pelangio Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:PX) (OTC PINK:PGXPF) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") announces that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary 5007223 Ontario Inc., an extension of the May 1, 2017 Option Agreement with Amex Exploration Inc. ("AMX") has been granted to complete an exploration program on the Gowan Property located in Timmins, Ontario.

HIGHLIGHTS

The Gowan Property was obtained through Pelangio's recent acquisition of 5007223 Ontario Inc. (formerly 5SD Capital) in December 2018 (see Pelangio's press release December 10, 2018). The extension provides AMX with the right to earn a 100% interest in the Gowan Property by completing the following:

• Issue 10,000 AMX shares in consideration of the extension (upon TSXV approval), or make an equivalent cash payment in lieu;
• Complete a minimum of 500 meters of diamond drilling on or before April 15, 2020; and
• Fulfill the commitments of the original option agreement by issuing 300,000 AMX shares and make a cash payment of $15,000, on or before May 5, 2020

Upon exercise of the option by AMX, the Gowan Property will be subject to a 2.5% Net Smelter Return ("NSR"), and 1% of the NSR may be bought back by AMX for $1 million.

The Gowan Property and Area

The Gowan Property Option is located in Gowan Township and is comprised of 20 cell claims covering approximately 256 hectares of land. The property is located approximately 16 kilometers ("km") east of Glencore's Kidd Creek Mine (see Map 1). The Kidd Creek Mine is considered to be a world-class copper-zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit that has been in production for over 52 years. As of year-end 2018, the total historical production of the mine from 1966 to 2018 was 160,400,000 tons of copper, zinc, lead and silver ore. (Ontario Geological Survey Activities Report, 2018 Open File Report 6354). Geologically the Gowan property is strategically located, covering a prospective package of felsic volcanic rocks similar to those which host the Kidd Creek Mine.

The Gowan property is of significant interest due to the presence of a previously discovered massive to disseminated sulphide zone discovered in the mid 1970's by Alamos Petroleum. Historical intercepts of interest include Alamos Petroleum Hole No. 2 which intersected a 36 foot interval of sulphide mineralization. This interval which returned 0.341% copperincluded higher grade intercepts of 12.5 feet of 0.658% copper and 3 feet of 0.95% copper. Alamos Hole No. 3 returned a number of interesting mineralized zones as well. Three base metal intercepts were noted in this hole; the upper zone assayed 0.68% copper and 0.02 oz/ton gold across 1.5 feet; the middle zone returned1.24% copper over 1.2 feet and the lower zone intersected 1.23% zinc, 0.17% copper across a 2 foot interval. These historical intercepts are associated with a distinctive induced polarization anomaly. (The reader is cautioned that these reported intercepts are historical in nature and taken from an Alamos Petroleum internal summary report by R.S. Middleton, 1975; the results pre-date NI-43-101 standards. The corporation has not drilled holes to verify these historical numbers).

There has been extremely limited exploration follow-up on the mineralized zones on the Gowan Property. It is anticipated that AMX's 2019/2020 exploration program will follow up on the aforementioned mineralized zones of interest and/or proximal targets in order to evaluate the extent of the mineralization.
