(\"Antler\") (TSX-V: ANTL) is pleased to announce that the minimum 2,500 metre (\"m\") drill program has commenced at the Wilding Lake Gold Project in central Newfoundland. In addition, mechanical trenching has resulted in extending the high-grade gold Elm zone to approximately 165m in strike length (zone remains open in both directions) and initial significant gold assay results from the Raven Zone were returned. \n\nDrilling Program A minimum 2,500m core drilling program commenced on October 4th to evaluate a total of fifteen targets. Eight targets are gold occurrences discovered in 2016 and 2017 from systematic grassroots exploration programs and seven are selected priority geophysical targets. The gold occurrences to be drilled include the newly discovered Raven Zone and the Red Ochre Complex and the 2016 discovery zones; Alder, Taz, Elm, Cedar, Birch and Dogberry. All occurrences demonstrate a strong gold system producing high grade and significant widths that include: \n\n\nRaven Zone: Four initial rock grab samples returned assay values of 273.8 grams/tonne (\"g/t\"), 15.4g/t, 13.6g/t and 3.5g/t\nRed Ochre Complex: Five Initial rock grab samples yielded assay values of 24.0g/t, 15.2g/t, 14.3g/t, 1.9g/t and 27 parts per billion (ppb)\nAlder Zone: 6.0g/t over 8.5m, 8.7g/t over 6.7m and 49.3g/t over 4.6m\nTaz Zone: 28.8g/t over 1.0m, 12.2g/t over 0.9m and 14.6g/t over 0.65m\nElm Zone: 101.5g/t over 0.5m, 93.1g/t over 1.3m, 37.5g/t over 0.9m and 18.0g/t over 1.2m\nNote that rock grab samples are selected samples and results are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization hosted on or the potential of the property. \n\nFor a map showing the location of the gold occurrence targets in the drilling program, please visit www.antlergold.com and click on \"News Release Octo...
