Abitibi Royalties Malartic CHL Exploration Update

Odyssey North Discovery Expands in Size

VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb 23, 2015) - Abitibi Royalties Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RZZ) ("Abitibi Royalties" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Canadian Malartic Corporation (the partnership between Agnico Eagle and Yamana Gold) has provided the Company with the final five (5) core hole assay results from the Malartic CHL property testing the Odyssey North target in 2014. The following information is an interpretation of the data provided by the Canadian Malartic Corporation. All weighted averages included in this news release have been calculated by Abitibi Royalties.

ODYSSEY NORTH ZONE

The objective of the recent drilling was to determine the potential to increase the strike length and vertical extent of the Odyssey North Zone. Both objectives were successfully achieved. The strike length was increased by 50% to 600 metres. Hole CD10-08A expanded the zone 100 metres to the east, returning 1.3 gpt gold over 93.5 metres, including 1.7gpt gpt gold over 43.5 metres and hole ODY14-2486, expanded the zone 100 metres to the west, intersecting 2.03 gpt gold over 22.0 metres. The zone remains open to further expansion.

Drilling at Odyssey North has also demonstrated potential to extend to vertical limits of the mineralization. Hole ODY14-2485, increased the zone's depth by approximately 75 metres below ODY14-2404 or by 10% and now totals 1,250 vertical metres. This hole intersected 3.50 gpt gold over 13.5 metres. Odyssey North has now been encountered from 650 to 1,250 metres below surface. Highlights from this drilling are in Table 1 below.

The Odyssey North target is located approximately 700 metres east of the Jeffrey Zone along the Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault, and is approximately 4.5 kilometres from the Canadian Malartic mill complex.

* No upper cut was applied due to no assays being reported above 15 gpt gold.

Data from the recent and historic holes indicate that the Odyssey North Zone is generally a tabular body at the porphyry-volcanic contact dipping 70 degrees south with a true average width of 5 to 70-metres. Mineralization is described as consisting of quartz-pyrite vein stockworks hosted in potassic- altered porphyry similar to that in the South Barnat deposit to the west.

MORE HIGH-GRADE MINERALIZATION DISCOVERED

Drilling that targeted Odyssey North has continued to intersect separate zones of narrow, high-grade gold mineralization. Results from the recent assays show that the aerial and vertical extent could be extensive and remains open in each direction. Should the intercepts prove continuous it could represent an important new discovery on the Malartic CHL property.

The high-grade has been encountered between 200 metres and 1,250 metres below surface or 1,050 vertical metres and over an 850 metre strike length. Additional drilling will be required to determine the continuity between intercepts. Assay results from the latest drill holes are highlighted in Table 2.

QA/QC REPORTING

Historical assays reported for the Odyssey North Zone are believed to be reliable but no details of analytical nor quality assurance/quality control procedures (QA/QC) are available. All core assays reported above were obtained by standard 50-gram fire assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish on split NQ core from ALS Minerals laboratories in Val d'Or, Que., an ISO/IEC guideline 17025-accredited facility. Reported drill core weighted averages were calculated using a minimum of 0.3 gpt gold with maximum internal dilution length of 6 metres.
