Tetlin Phase III 2016 Core Holes Drilled (Graphic: Business Wire)

The drilling conducted by Peak Gold, LLC, a joint venture between the Company and Royal Alaska, LLC (“Royal”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Gold Inc. managed by Royal (the “Joint Venture”) in the North Peak resource area of the Joint Venture’s gold exploration project in Tetlin, Alaska is wrapping up for the season, with 19 core holes drilled in the 2016 Phase I, 62 holes in Phase II and 37 holes in Phase III. Total meters drilled in 2016 was 20,522.8 (67,335 ft). The North Peak area remains open to expansion on the northwest and southeast portions, as the last holes drilled were still in gold bearing skarn.

The following table shows the most recent significant intercepts drilled on the project for which assay results have not been previously released and there are 9 core holes drilled for which assay results are still pending. Sample intervals are calculated using 0.5 grams per tonne (gpt) lower cut off for gold with no internal waste less than cutoff grade that is greater than 3 meters in thickness. Intercepts shown are drill intercept lengths. True width of mineralization is unknown.

The data below includes 21 new drill holes from TET16274 and TET16301 and their locations are shown on the accompanying base map:

Additional information on these and other factors which could affect CORE’s exploration program or financial results are included in CORE’s other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from the projections in the forward-looking statements.
