(TSXV: FYL) (the \"Company\") wishes to provide an exploration outlook for 2018 for the Silver Hope Property. The Company has 100% ownership of three mineral properties, namely the PIL and ATTY in the Toodoggone region of northern BC and the Silver Hope property near Houston, BC. All properties are situated within prospective geology and contiguous to former producing mines or feasibility studied deposits.  \n\nInitially, the Company plans to spend $200,000 on the Silver Hope property in 2018. A  core drilling program will focus on following up on significant mineralization in drill-hole SH14-02 which intersected 61.25m of 0.05g/t Au, 55.29g/t Ag, and 0.29% Cu including 10.25m of 0.19g/t Au, 318.77g/t Ag, and 0.88% Cu. (Finlay NR 01-15 dated February 26, 2015). This hole was drilled in the Gaul Zone following up on the previous year's 3-Dimensional (3-D) deep penetrating induced polarization (Deep IP) survey. The Gaul Zone is the southern of three mineral occurrences found along the Main Horizon. (Click HERE for a map of the Silver Hope, the Main Horizon and the Gaul Zone.)\n\nSILVER HOPE PROPERTY\n\nSilver Hope is a mid-stage exploration property located southeast of Houston in central BC. It is situated directly south of the former Equity Silver Mine, historically BC's largest silver producer. Since 2007, the Company has explored the property for meso-thermal volcanic-hosted copper-silver-gold (Cu-Ag-Au) deposits similar to that found at the nearby Equity Silver Mine. \n\nIP surveys have proven to be a powerful exploration tool at the Silver Hope. Past Finlay drilling that targeted IP chargeability anomalies has a nearly 80% success rate in locating significant mineralization. To date, the Main Horizon has been traced for over 1.7 kilometers. Mineralization intersected beneath two of the property's mineral occurrences has identified the ...
