Detour East Property

The fall 2016 drill program saw the first testing by Balmoral of the Lower Detour-Massicotte Deformation Zone on the Company's Detour East Property. Four of six holes completed on the property tested this 13 kilometre long trend of gold occurrences. The Detour East Property is located at the western end of the Detour Gold Trend Project and sits immediately adjacent to the holdings of Detour Gold along the Ontario-Quebec border.

Drill hole DTE-16-18 tested the down-plunge extension of the Lynx gold zone successfully intersecting the zone over a down-hole width of 14.25 metres. A second interval of gold mineralization was intersected 35 metres below the Lynx Zone (see Table 2 below). Both mineralized intervals remain open for additional testing.

Hole DTE-16-19 was drilled proximal to the historic Rambo Gold Zone. The hole encountered two intervals of anomalous gold mineralization down projected plunge from the Rambo Zone suggesting they may have intersected the marginal phase of the zone.

Balmoral also completed a large induced polarization (I.P.) survey in the northeast corner of the Detour East Property, proximal to the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone which hosts the nearby Detour Gold Mine. Results from that survey will be used for drill targeting during the summer of 2017.

Quality Control

Mr. Darin Wagner (P.Geo.), President and CEO of the Company, is the non-independent qualified person for the technical disclosure contained in this news release. Mr. Wagner has supervised the Quebec based work programs on the Martiniere Property since inception, visited the property on multiple occasions, examined the drill core from the holes summarized in this release, discussed, reviewed the results with senior on-site geological staff and reviewed the available analytical and quality control results.

Balmoral has implemented a quality control program for all of its drill programs, to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core, which includes the insertion of blind blanks, duplicates and certified standards into sample stream. NQ sized drill core is saw cut with half of the drill core sampled at intervals based on geological criteria including lithology, visual mineralization and alteration. The remaining half of the core is stored on-site at the Company's Martiniere field camp in Central Quebec. Drill core samples are transported in sealed bags to ALS Minerals' Val d'Or, Quebec analytical facilities. Gold analyses are obtained via industry standard fire assay with atomic absorption finish using 30 g aliquots. For samples returning greater than 5.00 g/t gold follow-up fire assay analysis with a gravimetric finish is completed. The Company has also requested that any samples returning greater than 10.00 g/t gold undergo screen metallic fire assay. Following receipt of assays, visual analysis of mineralized intercepts is conducted and additional analysis may be requested. ALS Minerals is ISO 9001:2008 certified and the Val d'Or facilities are ISO 17025 certified for gold analysis.
