MXL MX Gold Corp

MX Gold Corp. (TSX-V:MXL) (FSE:0DV) (OTCQX:MXLGF) (the “Company” or “MX Gold”) announces that, as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company wishes to clarify its disclosure and retract statements announcing mineral reserves of its Magistral Project in its July 20, 2017 news release (the “News Release”) and to also retract statements regarding mineral resources and estimates of an economic analysis for the Max Molybdenum portion of its WillaMax project in its February 2017 corporate presentation (the “Presentation”).

The News Release

The News Release contained statements of estimated tonnage and estimated gold/tonne which are not permitted under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) as no preliminary economic assessment, preliminary feasibility study or feasibility study was filed to support such statements.  The mineral reserves are not supported by a compliant NI 43-101 technical report, contrary to NI 43-101, and the reserves and statements should not be relied upon until they have been verified and supported by a NI 43-101 compliant technical report.

As disclosed in its October 25, 2016 news release, the Company would like to clarify that a historical estimate was completed on the Magistral Project by Corporation Ambiental de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“CM”) on January 20, 2012 titled “Perforacion y Muestreo en Presa de Jaleas Estimation Volumetrica, Tonelaje y Ley Promedio”. CM reported from an auger drilling program a probable reserve of 1,292,917.2 tonnes averaging 2.06 grams/tonne gold. The assumptions for this estimate are based on 58 auger samples, 2.45 to 3.0 metres in length from 24 drill holes. To the Company’s knowledge, there has been no additional work on the tailings project since January 20, 2012 to upgrade or verify the historical estimate. A Qualified Person (as defined in NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource or reserve and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource or reserve.

The Company intends to prepare and file a Technical Report to disclose a preliminary economic assessment for its Magistral Project on or prior to November 30, 2017.

The Corporate Presentation

The Presentation disclosed mineral resources and the results of an economic analysis for the Max Molybdenum property.  The statements in the Presentation regarding mineral resources and economic analysis are not supported by a compliant NI 43-101 technical report, contrary to NI 43-101, and such estimates should not be relied on until they have been verified and supported by a technical report.

The Company intends to prepare and file a Technical Report to disclose a preliminary economic assessment for the Max Molybdenum property on or prior to December 31, 2017.

Lorne Warner, P. Geo., a director of the Company, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information set out in this news release and is a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
