PRESS RELEASE
January 6, 2017
VANCOUVER, Canada –- Viscount Mining Corp. (TSX-V: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) ("Viscount" or "the Company"), as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”), the Company is issuing the following to clarify our disclosures in news releases dated April 25th, July 6th, August 10th, September 13th, and November 16, 2016.
The news releases on April 25th, July 6th, September 13th, and November 16, 2015 concerning the Silver Cliff Property in Colorado did not express the exploration target as a range of potential quantity and grade as specified in Section 2.3 (2) of NI 43-101 and did not state the basis on which the disclosed potential quantity and grade were determined because the Company has relied on secondary reports and has not had access to original documentation on drilling, chemical analyses and related calculations on which the secondary reports have been assumed to be based. The Company thus retracts any reference to quantity and grade targeted by its exploration drilling.
In a news release dated November 16, 2016, the Kate Deposit on the Silver Cliff Property was characterized as a “polymetallic resource” with the word “historical” inadvertently omitted. The Company wishes to clarify that no current resource estimate is possible nor has been made because of the limited number of drill holes under the program on which the news release reported commencement. A September 13, 2016 news release on the subject property used a term not defined in NI 43-101, namely “mineral inventories”, in referencing mineralization cited in historical documents.

Davis, P.Eng, FEC, an independent consulting geologist who is a "Qualified Person" as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
