(\"Antler\") (TSXV: ANTL) is pleased to announce the completion of the first phase core drilling program at the Wilding Lake Gold Project in central Newfoundland (the \"Project\"). Results include gold intercepts of 10.01 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") over 5.35 metres (\"m\") including 49.92 g/t over 0.98 m from the Elm Zone, and 1.51 g/t over 11.0 m from the Red Ochre Complex. \n\nDrilling Program SummaryAntler has completed a first phase drilling program that consisted of 30 core drill holes with a total meterage of 2,599 m. The drilling targeted the Elm, Alder, Taz and Raven zones which all consist of mineralized quartz vein systems hosted within sheared Rogerson Lake conglomerate. The highlight of the summer 2017 exploration season was the discovery of gold within the felsic volcanic rocks immediately to the south of the conglomerate/felsic volcanic contact, and in particular within a series of brittlely-fractured linear feldspar porphyry units (2 drill holes at the Red Ochre Complex) that trend across the entire length of the property. This significantly increases the potential to discover new gold occurrences with additional drill programs on the Project. \n\nIn addition, four drill holes targeted induced polarization (\"IP\") and/or airborne magnetic geophysical anomalies. Drill testing of the large magnetic anomaly underlying the Rogerson Lake conglomerate encountered a new zone of gold mineralization associated with the sheared contact between the conglomerate and underlying gabbro.\n\nFor a table listing all of the drilling program gold assay sample results, please visit www.antlergold.com and click on \"News Release December 13th, 2017\" and refer to Appendix 1, and Figure 1 showing the drill hole location plan map, and Figure 2 showing the Projects gold potential targets that occur within a number of...
