(\"Blind Creek\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that an exploration crew has been mobilised to the Company's 100%-owned Blende Property, situated 63 kilometres north of Keno Hill in north-central Yukon. The work program is being conducted by Moose Mountain Technical Services, commissioned earlier this summer by Blind Creek to prepare a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate and technical report for the Blende Property (see Blind Creek News Release dated June 27th, 2017). Mineral Resource Classification and Rock Density Determinations More than 24,300 metres of diamond drilling in 125 holes has been completed on the Blende property to date. The majority of this drill core is stored on the property. The Blende technical team will focus on the collection of a statistically valid number and distribution of drill core samples from this historic drill core library that occurs within previously modeled rock and mineralization domains of the Blende deposit. These rock samples will undergo routine rock density (Specific Gravity or \"SG\") determinations; data required to calculate tonnage and categorize the Blende deposit NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate (Measured and Indicated) with more certainty than an Inferred Resource. All aspects of the Blende exploration program are being supervised by Mr. R.J. (Bob) Morris, M.Sc., P.Geo., Principal Geologist of Moose Mountain Technical Services and a Qualified Person (Q.P.) as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Technical aspects of this news release have been reviewed and approved by Mr. Morris. About the Blende Zinc-Lead-Silver Deposit The Blende deposit is one of the largest undeveloped strata-bound carbonate-hosted Zinc-Lead-Silver deposits in Western Canada, with zinc mineralization traced over an 8km strike length and a vertical range exceeding 700 metres. The deposit remains open along strike and at depth. In excess of $9.2 million in past exploration expenditures has provided for >24,300 metres of diamond drilling in 125 holes on the Blende property to date. In 1991 Billiton Resources Canada Inc. calculated an historic open pit resource of 19.6 million tonnes averaging 3.04% Zn, 2.80% Pb and 56 g/t Ag* (shallow, sulphide-only) at...
