Vancouver, BC, Canada, October 5, 2017. Columbus Gold Corp. (CGT: TSX, CBGDF: OTCQX) ("Columbus") is pleased to announce a website launch for its 100% owned subsidiary Allegiant Gold Ltd., which holds its U.S. property portfolio. The website has been created for ALLEGIANT in anticipation of it being spun-out of Columbus into a separate publicly traded company. ALLEGIANT intends to seek a listing on the TSX Venture Exchange in connection with the spin-out. ALLEGIANT�s website can be found at www.allegiantgold.com and its corporate presentation at www.allegiantgold.com/en/investor/presentations.

ALLEGIANT owns a 100% interest in 14 prospective drill-ready projects in the United States, with 11 of the projects located in mining-friendly Nevada, and is led by Andy Wallace, who has discovered a number of multi-million-ounce mines in Nevada. ALLEGIANT has announced plans to drill 10 projects within 12 months of listing, including its flagship projects, Eastside and Bolo. At Eastside, the Original Zone hosts a pit-constrained Inferred resource of 721,000 gold equivalent ounces (35,780,000 tonnes grading 0.63g/t gold equivalent per tonne)1 and remains open to depth, and to the south and west, and possibly to the north and east. A 14-hole reverse circulation drill program, totaling 2,806 metres, was recently completed at the Bolo gold project. All of the drill samples have been stored in sealed and wire strapped containers and will be shipped to the lab when the spin-out of ALLEGIANT has been completed.
