Balmoral Resources Ltd. (TSX:BAR) (OTCQX:BALMF) today reported that the Bug South gold deposit on its Martiniere Property in Quebec continues to return broad intersection of high grade gold mineralization and show good continuity between sections. Results were released from seven holes testing Bug South completed during the fall program and were highlighted by:

41.95m grading 3.24 g/t gold, including 11.58m grading 6.30 g/t gold from the Upper Bug Zone — hole MDE-16-246B

13.93m grading 4.07 g/t gold from the Upper Bug Zone — hole MDE-16-250

10.13m grading 7.34 g/t gold, including 5.34m grading 13.54 g/t gold from the Hanging Wall Zone — hole MDE-16-247

13.79m grading 2.80 g/t gold, including 2.22m grading 16.33 g/t gold from the 221 Zone — hole MDE-16-247

The Upper Bug Zone of the Bug South deposit continues to exhibit excellent continuity ranging in down-hole thickness in the holes released today from 5.83 to 88.36 metres. The Upper Bug Zone continues to exhibit a well-defined, south-southeast plunging area of enhanced thickness and grade. Updated cross-sections for the Bug South deposit featuring the results of the holes released today are available at http://www.balmoralresources.com. Strong gold values also continue to be intersected throughout the deposit area in the Hanging Wall Porphyry (“HWP”), Hanging Wall and recently discovered 221 Zones.

* Reported drill intercepts are not true widths. At this time there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate true orientations in space although they are estimated to range between approximately 70 and 77% of true thickness. All values presented uncapped.

The Company also intersected a new zone of zinc-lead-silver-gold veining at shallow depth in hole MDE-16-245. The 5.36 metre wide interval between 54.79 and 60.15 metres down-hole returned an average grade of 2.80% zinc, 2.67% lead, 99.11 g/t silver and 0.19 g/t gold. This is the first time that mineralization of this nature (Zn-Pb-Ag-Au) has been intersected on the Martiniere Property, although high-grade silver mineralization is known from the Martiniere East area. This new discovery appears to cross-cut the local stratigraphy. Its origin and relationship to the Bug Lake gold deposits and/or the VMS system in the Martiniere East area is currently unknown.

Additional results from the fall drill program on the Martiniere Property and on Balmoral’s Detour East Property remain pending. Work on the winter road into the Martiniere camp continues and, weather conditions permitting, drilling is expected to commence on the property in early February.

Balmoral will have drill core from the Bug South gold deposit on display in the core shack, booth 820, at the 2017 Mineral Exploration Round-Up in Vancouver, B.C. on January 23^rd and 24^th, and at the Prospectors and Developers Association convention in Toronto, Ontario on March 5 and 6.
