Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 17, 2017) - Kesselrun Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KES) ("Kesselrun") is pleased to provide the following update on its 100% owned Huronian Gold Project:

Ongoing surface exploration at Huronian continues to yield encouraging results. Surface channel sampling results received include 7.7 g/t gold, 23.9 g/t silver over a composite sample length of 3.1 metres on the Fisher zone and 1.1 g/t gold, 8.0 g/t silver over a composite sample length of 8.2 metres on the McKellar zone. The Fisher zone is a previously identified zone of gold and silver mineralization located on one of numerous splays from the main Huronian Shear Zone. The McKellar zone is the southwest strike extension of the historically mined Huronian zone.

As previously released (see KES NR September 26 and October 11, 2017), a new location of the Huronian Shear Zone and associated splays has been interpreted by Kesselrun's team. Kesselrun believes that the area holds the potential to host a significant gold resource and its exploration efforts are being executed to test that theory.

Michael Thompson, P.Geo., President and CEO commented, "The channel sampling of known zones on Huronian is being done to give the team a better understanding of the relationship between alteration, structure and gold mineralization, thus enabling us to better explore for extensions to these zones and entirely new zones. These encouraging results confirm the gold potential of the area".

Table 1: Summary of Significant Channel Sample Results - Huronian Project ⁽¹⁾

(1) Contiguous sampling lengths are dictated by the exposure of rock available to sample and not necessarily the width of the zone. Channel samples are cut as close to perpendicular to the strike of mineralization as possible but are not representative of true width of the zone.

Kesselrun holds 4.7M First Mining Finance shares with a current value of over $3M as of market close yesterday which management believes gives the company sufficient means to implement its corporate strategy going forward.

The Huronian Gold Project consists of 154 unpatented mining claims and four patented mining claims for a total land package of 5,200 hectares. The project is situated in the highly prolific Shebandowan Greenstone Belt located in the Abitibi-Wawa Subprovince approximately 100 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario along major transportation and power routes.

The project hosts numerous significant gold zones including the past producing Huronian Mine that produced 29,629 ounces gold and 170,463 ounces silver from 143,724 tons from 1932-1936 (Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines Production Records). The project also covers the southwest strike extension of Wesdome Gold Mine's Moss Lake Gold Deposit. The Moss Lake Gold Deposit hosts an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate of 40 million tonnes at a grade of 1.1 g/t (1,377,300 oz Au) Indicated and an additional 50 million tonnes at a grade of 1.1 g/t (1,751,600 oz Au) Inferred (Moss Lake Gold Mines NR February 20, 2013) as well as an NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment (Moss Lake Gold Mines NR July 29, 2013).

Michael Thompson, P. Geo., President and CEO of Kesselrun, is the Qualified Person responsible for the project as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has approved the technical information in this news release.
