Corvus Gold Inc. ("Corvus" or the "Company") - (TSX:KOR) (OTCQX:CORVF) announces it has received assays results from three new drill holes at its Mother Lode project in southern Nevada (Table 1). The new results are from the Main Target area (Figure 1) and continues to confirm and expand the Upper and Lower Zones of the deposit to the North and at depth with broad intercepts that include hole ML-005, 33.53m @ 2.91 g/t Au & ML-17-007, 54.82m @ 2.70 g/t Au (both intercepts at 0.5 g/t gold cutoff). Additionally, the higher-grade Mother Lode Structural Zone continues to track north and extend at depth (ML-005, 10.67m @ 6.27 g/t Au north extension & ML17-007, 9.14m @ 6.96 g/t Au deepest hit to date at ~250m down hole). 

These most recent holes have also intersected a new upper zone of low-grade mineralization in the Crater Flat Tuff (CF Zone), with oxide mineralization that the Company believes could be potentially similar to Corvus' Sierra Blanca deposit at the North Bullfrog property, as well as the Secret Pass deposit and the Bullfrog deposit to the west. There was little to no historical data on the CF Zone as many parts of this area were never assayed when it was previously drilled. Additionally, hole ML17-005 ended in low-grade mineralization below the Lower Zone target which the Company believes could be indicating a low-grade halo from the Deep Target Zone below. Corvus has recently began a series of deeper holes to 450 metres to evaluate the Deep Target potential in the main intrusive center area of the gold system. 

Jeff Pontius, President and CEO of Corvus states, "These latest results are expanding the overall Mother Lode gold deposit as well as identifying new areas of gold mineralization in the system. The consistent high-grade nature of the Mother Lode deposit is characteristic of a large, intrusion related, sediment hosted deposit. In addition, the continuity of the high-grade Mother Lode Structural Zone is encouraging as it is now defining a sizable body that remains open to the north and down dip with multiple +5 g/t gold over 10 metre intercepts."

This press release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian and US securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein including, without limitation, statements regarding the rapid and effective capture of the potential of our new Mother Lode project, the potential for new deposits and expected increases in a system's potential; anticipated content, commencement and cost of exploration programs, anticipated exploration program results, the discovery and delineation of mineral deposits/resources/reserves, the potential to develop multiple YellowJacket style high-grade zones, the Company's belief that the parameters used in the Whittle™ pit optimization process are realistic and reasonable, the potential to discover additional high grade veins or additional deposits, the potential to expand the existing estimated resource at the North Bullfrog project, the potential for any mining or production at North Bullfrog, are forward-looking statements. Information concerning mineral resource estimates may be deemed to be forward-looking statements in that it reflects a prediction of the mineralization that would be encountered if a mineral deposit were developed and mined. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as: believe, expect, anticipate, intend, estimate, postulate and similar expressions, or are those, which, by their nature, refer to future events. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, variations in the market price of any mineral products the Company may produce or plan to produce, the Company's inability to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its activities, the Company's inability to produce minerals from its properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company's 2016 Annual Information Form and latest interim Management Discussion and Analysis filed with certain securities commissions in Canada and the Company's most recent filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). All of the Company's Canadian public disclosure filings in Canada may be accessed via www.sedar.com and filings with the SEC may be accessed via www.sec.gov and readers are urged to review these materials, including the technical reports filed with respect to the Company's mineral properties.
