Toronto, Ontario (September 4, 2019) – O3 Mining Inc. (TSXV:OIII, “O3 Mining” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has initiated a 50,000-meter drill program on its Val d’Or properties.

José Vizquerra Benavides, President and CEO, commented: “The financings represent an important milestone. We are initiating work on the Bulldog/Centremaque properties in the Val d’ Or area of the prolific Abitibi gold district. Our plan is to commence an aggressive exploration program to confirm, upgrade and expand the current resources with a 50,000-meter drill program. O3 Mining is excited to initiate work in a World Class district that has historically produced over 30 million ounces of gold.”

Drilling has commenced in the Centremaque area with the objectives of extending the current mineralization. Two additional drill rigs will be mobilized in the coming weeks on the recently discovered Bulldog zone which has recently returned important gold values including 10.87 g/t Au over 4.5 meters in hole OAX-18-245 (see Alexandria Minerals press release dated December 11, 2018). The Bulldog zone was discovered at the end of 2018 and has seen no follow-up. Mineralisation at Bulldog is hosted in strongly sheared and altered porphyry intrusions potentially analogous to Canadian Malartic. The Bulldog zone is open in all directions.
