Reliant Gold Surface Sampling and Examination at its East Bay Property Report Assays of up to 9.2 g/t Gold (Au)

TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2017 - Reliant Gold Corp. ("Reliant Gold" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:RNG) is pleased to announce that the Summer 2017 Surface Sampling Program (″2017 Program″), recently completed at its East Bay Property, has delivered encouraging results at its Apple Island and Altered Zone showings of up to 9.2 g/t Gold (Au). The 2017 Program was carried out on behalf of the Corporation by consulting geologist Trevor Boyd, P.Geo.

Reliant Gold’s East Bay Property is located in the McVicar Lake area in northwestern Ontario (the “Property”). The Property, comprised of 56 mineral claim units totalling 896 hectares, is situated approximately 90 kilometres west of Pickle Lake, Ontario and 130 kilometres southwest of Goldcorp Inc.’s Musselwhite Gold Mine. The Property is the site of three historical zones of gold occurrences: (1) the Altered Zone; (2) the North Flexure Zone; and (3) the Apple Island Zone. In addition, the Property hosts a historical copper-nickel occurrence enriched in the platinum group metals known as the Hoey Syndicate Occurrence. All four of these occurrences on the Property are registered in the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (“MNDM”), Mineral Deposit Inventory (“MDI”) database.


QUALITY ASSURANCE - QUALITY CONTROL (″QA/QC″) PROTOCOL

During the course of the 2017 Program, a total of 35 grab, chip and drill core samples were collected by Trevor Boyd and then shipped by a bonded carrier directly to the Activation Laboratories facility located in Thunder Bay, Ontario for assaying and testing for gold. Activation Laboratories is an ISO – 17025 accredited laboratory providing high-quality mineral analysis. A gold standard and blank inserted with the batch performed satisfactorily.


HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2017 PROGRAM RESULTS

Assays and Examination of the Apple Island and Altered Zones

• Apple Island Zone: surface chip sampling reported gold assays of 0.95 g/t Au over 1.5 metres across the zone with adjacent grab samples carrying up to 9.2 g/t Au. The east-west trending zone has never been drilled and remains open along strike in both directions into overburden or into McVicar Lake.


• Altered Zone: On-site review, examination and sampling of the exposed stripped area of the Altered Zone and associated historic drilling set-ups confirmed that the zone trends along strike to the east southeast and dips shallowly with a westerly rake, plunging directly to the north. The zone remains open in all three directions.


• 14 collected samples of historical drill core stored at the Altered Zone generally returned low values ranging up to 0.35 g/t Au.
