Telson Discloses Tahuehueto Mining & Concentrate Preproduction, Metallurgical Balances & Cash Sale Results for 2017 and Announces Plans for Corporate Name Change

Telson Resources Inc. (“Telson” or the “Company”) (TSXV:TSN) is very pleased to announce the results of pre-production mining and processing at its 100% owned Tahuehueto Mine Development Project located in Durango, Mexico. Pre-production mining averaging 132 t/d at Tahuehueto commenced during July 2017 with toll milling operations starting during August 2017. Mining and toll milling continued through to mid December 2017 when operations were shut down during Christmas holidays. Mining and toll milling resumed in January 2018.

During the 6 months of pre-production operations in 2017, mining at Tahuehueto produced 22,662 tonnes of ore from the El Creston Zone and toll milling at the Atocha Processing Plant milled approximately 14,377 of this ore. The average head grade of the total pre-production ore processed was 6.94 g/t gold, 84.36 g/t silver, 5.29% zinc, 2.64% lead.

During the 2017 pre-production program the Company produced; 666 tonnes of lead concentrate with average grades of 45.32% lead, 122 g/t gold and 1,374 g/t silver and 14.03% zinc and; 1130 tonnes of zinc concentrate averaging 49.95% zinc. 3.83 g/t gold, 113 g/t silver and 1.2% lead.

Of the above concentrate produced, Telson sold 643 tonnes of lead concentrate with average grades of 122.2 g/t gold, 1292 g/t silver, 46.87% lead, 13.52% zinc, 2.5% copper and 1039 tonnes of zinc concentrate with average grades of 48.98% zinc, 4.95 g/t gold, 128.3 g/t silver, 1.40% lead, 0.39% copper for total cash proceeds of USD $5.24 million which proceeds have been paid in full and received by the Company. Readers should be cautioned that cash sales should not be equated with revenues, as until commercial production is achieved at Tahuehueto, which is not expected until early 2019, once Telson completes construction of its proposed onsite mineral processing facility, any proceeds from the sale of concentrates are considered under Canadian GAAP to be applied as an offset to development costs and not counted as revenues on Telson’s income statement. Furthermore, Telson is not, during the pre-production stage, able to disclose the costs/expenses associated with generating such cash sales or provide guidance on profitability (if any).

Antonio Berlanga, CEO of Telson, states “Management is very pleased with the results of our Tahuehueto preproduction toll milling program. We are consistently producing excellent lead concentrates above 46% lead with high precious metal content averaging 122 gAu/t and over 1,200 gAg/t, while zinc concentrate grades are averaging above 48% Zinc. Payable metal recoveries are also excellent, averaging 82.48% gold, 87.82% silver, 79.47% lead and 74.49% zinc for total 2017 preproduction. This preproduction program, to continue throughout 2018, allows us to continue to optimize metal recovery techniques which we are confident will be perfected over the coming year and will allow Telson to transfer this processing and recovery knowledge for its own milling facility under construction at Tahuehueto and hopefully, reduce the startup and commissioning time of this future on-site 1,000 + tonne per day Tahuehueto mineral processing facility.

About Telson Resources Inc.
Telson Resources Inc. is a Canadian based junior resource mining company currently in pre-production at two Mexican gold, silver and base metal mining projects and is advancing both towards commercial production over the coming months of 2018. At the recently acquired Campo Morado Mine in Guerrero, Mexico, Telson has re-commenced mining and processing operations with pre-production from mine development on a trial basis at an average 1,500 tonnes per day during the recommissioning stage and intends to advance towards commercial production at full capacity of approximately 2,500 tonnes per day during 2018. Telson’s Tahuehueto Project, located in north-western Durango State, Mexico is currently in pre-production at approximately 150 tonnes per day utilizing a toll mill for processing and has entered a construction phase with a timeline to be producing on site in its own mineral processing plant capable of milling at least 1,000 tonnes per day towards the end of 2018. Regular metal concentrate delivery and sales are underway from both projects.
