Viscount Mining Strengthens Technical Advisory Board with Senior Geologist

PRESS RELEASE                                                                                                 April 18, 2017

VANCOUVER, Canada –- Viscount Mining Corp. (TSX-V: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) (“Viscount” or “the Company”), is pleased to announce that geologist James P. Robinson, Ph.D., has consented to join the Company's technical advisory board. As advisor to Viscount’s technical board he will be called on to provide insights based on his deep knowledge of Nevada, structural geology, precious-metals deposit models, and exploration techniques.

Recently, Dr. Robinson was a senior consulting geologist for Summit Mining Exploration, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation and was involved with all aspects of the initial two-year evaluation program of Viscount Mining’s Cherry Creek property. His responsibilities included comprehensive geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, drill target generation, drilling supervision, and subsurface interpretations.

Dr. Robinson has over 35 years of experience as a professional geologist, including approximately 30 years in precious metal exploration. Most of his mineral experience has focused on frontier and early-stage exploration in the eastern and southern Basin and Range of Nevada and Utah. This included managing successful exploration programs for Alta Gold Company, Pilot Gold Company, DNI Metals, and Battle Mountain Exploration Company.  Dr. Robinson was instrumental in the development of the Alta Gold Griffon Mine from grassroots discovery through production and the Alta Gold Kinsley Mine from development drilling to the discovery of several satellite deposits.

Dr. Robinson holds a Ph.D. in Geological Sciences from Cornell University, an M.S. in Geology from the University of Southern California, and a B.S. in Geology from Ohio University. He is a Registered Professional Geologist in the states of Utah, Idaho, and Arizona.   

Dr. Robinson stated, "I am very pleased to join the Company's advisory board. With my time on the Cherry Creek project, I feel it represents a rare opportunity in eastern Nevada to be the first modern comprehensive exploration program to evaluate a mining district with historic production of gold, silver, tungsten and base metals. In addition to the high-grade veins and replacement deposits exploited in the historic mines, recent geologic mapping, sampling, and limited drilling identified disseminated sediment-hosted gold in a previously unexplored area of Cherry Creek. The stratigraphic section, geochemical signature, and structural and igneous history of the sediment-hosted gold occurrence at Cherry Creek shares characteristics with modern gold mines in the general vicinity, including the Newmont Long Canyon Mine and Pilot Gold Kinsley Mountain Mine.  Subsequent exploration will further delineate gold anomalies defined by recent field work and greatly enhance the potential of finding an economic gold deposit in the subsurface."

Kaare Foy, Chairman of Viscount stated, "Dr. Robinson will collaborate closely with Viscount's management to provide guidance and recommendations to help Viscount set the direction of the company's roadmap and strategic initiatives at Cherry Creek as the company accelerates exploration and development plans."

Viscount Mining Releases Results of Exploration Program at the Cherry Creek Silver-Gold Project, Nevada

PRESS RELEASE                                                                                                       March 29, 2017

VANCOUVER, Canada –- Viscount Mining Corp. (TSX-V: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) (“Viscount” or “the Company”), reports that in 2016 Summit Mining Exploration Inc. (Summit) continued an ongoing mineral exploration and evaluation program in the Cherry Creek mining district of northern White Pine County, Nevada as part of their earn-in agreement with Viscount. Rather than explore the previously producing areas of the Cherry Creek property which encompasses just about all of the historical silver, silver gold-base metal and tungsten mines located in the Cherry Creek Mining District, Summit elected to focus their 2016 exploration program on a reverse‐circulation drilling program in the Flint Canyon area which they discovered in 2014‐15 to have anomalous gold in soil and rock chips. The area has no historic mines and had only minimal modern exploration prior to Viscount and Summit.

Summit’s initially proposed 2016 program was expanded to include: (1) drilling 32 reverse-circulation (RC) holes in the Flint Canyon target area; (2) geologic mapping at a scale of 1:2500 in the area south and west of the Flint Canyon target and in the north end of Silver Canyon, several kilometers to the east; (3) collection of 412 rock‐chip samples for geochemical analysis; and, (4) collection of 1868 soil samples for geochemical analysis in a grid that covers the Flint Canyon target area with extensions in all directions.

The 32 RC holes at Flint Canyon combined for 5,369 total meters (17,615 feet). They were drilled with variable azimuths and inclinations from eleven distinct pads to depths ranging from 86.9 to 304.9 meters. Formations encountered in the drill holes included Marjum limestone, Dunderberg Shale, Notch Peak Formation, Pogonip Formation, and undifferentiated dolomite (OSD). In general, the strongest gold concentrations occurred in near surface silicified zones in the Marjum limestone.  Gold intercepts occurred in local silicified zones along the Dunderberg/Marjum contact, in collapse breccias and silicified strata in the Pogonip Formation, and silicified breccia in undifferentiated dolomite.  Twenty‐one of the 32 holes included at least one sample interval with 0.100 g/t Au and two holes returned samples with greater than 1.00 g/t Au, with a maximum of 4.03 g/t gold in a single sample of a strongly oxidized, decomposed felsic dike in Hole CC021. The best multi‐sample intercept was by hole CC021 with 0 to 18.3 meters averaging 0.438 g/t Au, including the 4.03 g/t altered dike.  Five of the holes had intercepts of at least 10 meters with average gold concentrations of 0.100 g/t or greater.  Mineralized zones with elevated levels of gold display few associated geochemical anomalies, although weakly enhanced concentrations of arsenic (<200 and="" barium="" locally.="" o:p="" occur="" ppm="">

According to Summit’s report “the results of the 2016 drilling program could be interpreted to indicate that Flint Canyon is on the distal edge of a large disseminated gold system.”

None of the 32 holes were surveyed. Drill data density is insufficient to estimate true thickness of the mineralized intervals reported above.

Mapping south of Flint Canyon drill area identified a frontier‐level gold exploration target in Lead Mine Canyon. The target lies in a 250‐ x 75‐meter exposure of Marjum siltstone. Pods of jasperoid and coarse calcite occur along the limestone/siltstone contact and in minor faults that cut the contact. Four samples of jasperoid from those silicified zones contained gold values between 0.283 and 1.085 g/t. Soil samples from the siltstone commonly contained elevated gold values between 0.02 and 0.1 g/t, with one sample containing 0.5 g/t.

In Silver Canyon, jasperoid outcrops along the contact between Dunderberg Shale and Marjum limestone are locally enriched in silver, 200‐500 g/t, and commonly display low anomalous gold.

Summit has elected to exit the agreement and has given Viscount all the exploration data and information. Viscount now has complete control of the Cherry Creek property. 

Summit considers that there is still potential to find Kinsley Mine and Long Canyon type gold deposits on the property as outlined in this quote from their 2016 Exploration Report on Cherry Creek:

“In addition to the Flint Canyon area displaying the potential for a Kinsley Mine analogue, anomalous gold in soil and rock‐chip samples from the Pogonip Formation indicate that there could be a disseminated gold deposit at depth that is analogous to Newmont Mining Corporation’s Long Canyon Mine currently in production. At Long Canyon, disseminated gold mineralization occurs in a lenticular and laminated limestones as well as collapse breccias in the lower Pogonip Formation and in laminated limestone and siltstone at the base of the Notch Peak Formation near the contact with the Dunderberg Shale.”

In addition to follow up work required on untested gold in soil and rock chip samples at Flint Canyon and two targets previously described herein; several other targets exist on the property that warrant drill testing.  These targets will be summarized in a separate news release.

In the meantime Viscount is speaking with interested parties about the Cherry Creek property.

All of the results given in this news release were taken directly from the Rangefront Geological drill report prepared for Summit Mining Exploration Inc. All of the assaying was done by an ISO certified analytical company. Rangefront Geological and Summit geologists do all their work using the best industrial practices.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") Measures, Chain of Custody:

The Company has implemented a rigorous QA/QC program using best industry practices at the Cherry Creek Property. Drill core samples are transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at ALS Labs Limited, of Elko, Nevada. Individual samples are labeled, placed in plastic sample bags and sealed. Groups of samples are then placed into durable rice bags that are then shipped. A small ‘B split’ of each sample of drill cutting interval was collected at the rig and archived in secure storage. The sample pulps and rejects will be retrieved from ALS. The insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates as well as logging was conducted by Rangefront Geological and Summit personnel at the property site.

Drilling Update at Viscount's Flint Canyon, Cherry Creek Property in Nevada

November 22, 2016 09:08 ET

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 22, 2016) - Viscount Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:VML)(OTCQB:VLMGF)("Viscount" or "the Company"), is pleased to provide an update on its flagship Cherry Creek Nevada Property (the "Property"). The Phase 1 drilling commenced at Flint Canyon in early September; and is being managed and funded by Summit Mining Exploration Inc. ("Summit"), a wholly-owned US subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation, under the Exploration-Earn In Agreement.

The 2016 Phase 4 soil sampling program was completed in late July. A total of 1,250 samples were collected, including those at closer spacing than the 75m by 75m reported in the news release of (August 10, 2016). All were submitted to ALS Global for gold assay and multi‐element geochemical analysis. In the central Flint Canyon area, the results reported by Summit show a positive correlation of gold and arsenic to the locations of the jasperoid occurrences and with major faults and regional structures. The soil sample results and geological map data were used for guidance in the drill planning.

A reverse circulation (RC) drill plan was made based on soil anomalies, geologic mapping, and targeting of the jasperoid outcrops. The initial drill program that was reported in the news release of (September 7, 2016) was for 18 holes from 12 drill sites for total of 14,366 feet (4,380 m).

The revised drill plan is for 34 holes from 11 sites for 24,000 feet (7,317 m). Drilling has progressed well and is continuing due to good weather, ground conditions, and short drill rig moves. Currently the program is expected to continue to the end of November.

A map showing the new roads and drill pads at Flint Canyon may be consulted using the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Flint_Cayon_Road_and_Drill_Pad_Map.jpg

Mark Abrams, Viscount Technical Advisory Board, stated: "Summit has conducted a very well planned and executed exploration program to date at Flint Canyon. My initial examination of Flint Canyon drill samples shows features typically associated with a Carlin-type gold deposit, including silicification and disseminated fine grained pyrite which are present. We look forward to the continued testing of targets on the property and the analysis of the lab results that will follow."

About Flint Canyon

The 2015 and 2016 mapping at Flint Canyon found the faulting to be more complex than previously indicated on the Adair 1961 geologic base map. Summit's mapping program found that east-west orientated faults and fractures, which are important ore controlling structures at the Ticup and Star Mines, also occur in the area. The Flint Canyon area contains highly dissected fault blocks of the Dunderberg Shale with the underlying Marjum Limestone and overlying Notch Peak Limestone. The Pogonip Formation overlies the Notch Peak and both units are important host rocks for Carlin-type gold mineralization in east-central Nevada.

Jasperoid occurrences in Nevada are extremely significant in context to Carlin-type gold deposits and mineralized jasperoid outcrops are common throughout the Flint Canyon area. They occur principally along the base of the Dunderberg Shale, but other outcrops are found along the Pogonip-Notch Peak contact. Many major gold discoveries have been made based on the presence of outcropping, weakly mineralized jasperoid hosted in and along bedding contacts of carbonate rocks. At Flint Canyon, jasperoid is found in the same carbonate rocks that are prolific host rocks at nearby large gold deposits (Newmont Mining-Long Canyon and Kinross Gold Corporation-Bald Mountain deposits).

The jasperoid beds, interpreted as west dipping tabular features, occur along the base of the Dunderberg Shale and within the Pogonip group limestone. Summit's geological team indicates that the Dunderberg Shale is generally recessive and is exposed mainly along the outcropping contacts with more competent rocks. The Dunderberg appears to be moderately altered throughout its distribution, and, at Flint Canyon, it experienced widespread and significant alteration by hydrothermal fluids. The underlying Marjum Limestone is usually competent and unaltered, while the overlying Pogonip exhibits variable alteration.

Mineralization identified by this work is hosted within and extending out from silica bodies known as jasperoids formed at the Pogonip Limestone/Notch Peak Limestone contact, within the Dunderberg Shale, and within and extending out from jasperoids formed at the Dunderberg Shale/Marjum Limestone contact. Jasperoids form from silica and iron replacement of the limey component of rocks when warm springs carrying silica, iron and potentially metals such as gold circulate through the rock column. As the silica and iron rich waters percolate through the rock, the limey component of the rock dissolves, migrates away and redeposits as calcite veins (calcium carbonate) in areas outboard of the warm spring waters. The host rock, depending on its content of limey material, may form caves or even collapse as the limey component is flushed out. Collapse features have been noted in outcrop and in new road cuts in the anomaly areas of Flint Canyon. This event makes the rock more permeable and allows even more silica rich waters to flow in. As the waters flush in they begin to deposit silica and iron as jasperoids. Gold deposition can occur as part of this process and, in fact, has at Flint Canyon.

The Cherry Creek district, including Flint Canyon, is cut by very deep seated fault structures. These faults would have provided a very good plumbing system that allowed mineralizing waters to circulate through the rock column over a large area. In looking at the gold mineralized rock at Flint Canyon, one can see more than one event of silica, iron and likely gold introduction into the rock. Multiple events like this have been known to drive up the gold grade at other projects and may also have done so at Flint Canyon.

Viscount Mining Announces New Highly Anomalous Gold at Flint Canyon, Cherry Creek, Nevada

August 10, 2016

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Aug. 10, 2016) - Viscount Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:VML)(OTCQB:VLMGF)("Viscount" or "the Company"), is pleased to provide an update on the recently completed Phase 4 soil sampling program (1,250 samples taken) as well as geologic mapping and rock chip sampling programs in the Flint Canyon area of its Cherry Creek Property (the "Property"), which is currently being explored by Summit Mining Exploration II Inc.("Summit"), a wholly-owned US subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation.

The soil sampling combined with previously announced anomalous rock sample results (October 29, 2015) has yielded gold (Au) and pathfinder element anomalies for Mercury (Hg), Arsenic (As), Antinomy (Sb) and Thallium (Tl) similar in size and tenor to soil and rock geochemical sampling results at other mines and advanced properties in Nevada. These include Kinross Gold's Bald Mountain mine; Newmont Mining's Long Canyon project, Agnico-Eagle's West Pequop project and Pilot Gold's Kinsley Mountain project.

Phase 4 Soil Sampling Program

The Phase 4 soil geochemical survey was concluded and results for gold are included in the May - June activity report issued by Summit for Flint Canyon on the Cherry Creek property. They state that "1250 soil samples have been collected". This includes some samples collected outside the area shown on the accompanying Flint Canyon soil and rock sample maps provided by Summit. Analysis has been by a 51‐element + gold ICP procedure (ME‐MS41 & Au‐TL43) at ALS Labs Limited, of Elko, Nevada. The sample grid spacing is 75m by 75m and tight GPS control.

The Pogonip Limestone anomaly area includes two anomalies located in close proximity to each other. The anomalies measure 500 meters NW by 300 meters NE and 250 meters NW by 125 meters NE, respectively. The highest gold in soil value for these combined anomalies is 0.345 g/t Au (0.012 oz/t).

The Dunderberg Shale anomaly measures approximately 1,200 meters by 300 meters. The highest gold value in this anomaly is 0.106 g/t Au (0.003 oz/t). The anomaly widens or bends to the east on its northern end and it appears to be controlled by the west-southwest trending Black Metal Fault in this area.

The highest gold value on the soil grid was 0.534 g/t Au (0.018 oz/t). It is located on the east side of the survey area. The two northerly trending anomalous areas located in the center and west side of the grid contains most of the anomalous gold and pathfinder element values in the Flint Canyon area. The anomalous values are open to the south and west of the western most area where soils samples were collected.

The soil gold assay map with ranges of gold values in soil shows a strong relationship between the areas with jasperoid outcrops and a surprisingly broad and strong gold anomaly on the extreme west side of the Flint Canyon area in the Pogonip Limestone. The soil gold anomaly occurs to the west of some jasperoid outcrops that are found at the contact between the Pogonip and Notch Peak formations, a common relationship found at major gold deposits in Nevada. From the distribution of anomalous gold results, there are at least two major target areas that need to be tested by several drill holes. Map showing the soil geochemical survey on Flint Canyon may be consulted using the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/viscountsoilsurvey.jpg.

Rock Chip Sampling Program

The following points concerning geology and geochemistry in the mapped area are excerpts from the Summit "Activity Report for May-June 2016".

The Flint Canyon Pogonip Limestone and Dunderberg Shale samples are highly anomalous in gold mineralization. Of the 1,250 rock samples collected in the Flint Canyon domain (includes west-southwest trending Black Metal Fault):

• Pogonip Limestone - Maximum gold grade of 0.345 g/t Au 
  
  
• Pogonip Limestone - 22 samples > 0.02 g/t Au 
  
  
• Dunderberg Shale - Maximum gold grade of 0.106 g/t Au 
  
  
• Dunderberg Shale - 46 samples > 0.02 g/t Au 
  
  

The rock chip sampling map shows that there is a very close relationship between anomalous gold assay values related to the areas at or near the jasperoid outcrops. There is also a close association of anomalous gold assays along the contact between the Dunderberg Shale and Marjum Limestone. Maps showing the rock chip survey on Flint Canyon may be consulted using the following link:http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/viscountrockchipsurvey.jpg.

Work Planned and in Progress

Summit has committed to an additional 626 soil samples at Flint Canyon to extend the anomalous trends and fill in open priority target areas. Geologic mapping and rock chip sampling continues and work is being conducted south from Flint Canyon along the western flank of the mountain range.

Road contractor Legarza Exploration & Construction has started construction on the 7,046 ft. new access road at Flint Canyon and anticipates completion shortly.

Viscount anticipates the work on drill targeting at Flint Canyon will start later this summer when all of the laboratory data are received and map data formatted in the drill computer model. A minimum of 4,380m (14,366 feet) of reverse circulation (RC) drilling of 18 holes from 10 drill pads is expected to begin in early September 2016.

Mineralization identified by this work is hosted within and extending out from jasperoids formed at the Pogonip Limestone/Notch Peak Limestone contact, within the Dunderberg Shale, and within and extending out from jasperoids formed at the Dunderberg Shale/Marjum Limestone contact. Flint Canyon has continued to deliver exceptional results and we look forward to the upcoming drill program."

QC and Analytical Procedures

The soil and rock chip analytical packages have been conducted by ALS Labs Limited, of Elko, Nevada. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for 52 elements, including gold, via ME‐MS41 and, for gold, Au-TL43, with over limit analyses for Au and Ag.
