BLIND CREEK RESOURCES LTD. ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ENGINEER GOLD MINES SPINOUT TRANSACTION VANCOUVER, January 19, 2018 - (TSXV: BCK) – Blind Creek Resources Ltd. (“Blind Creek” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its intention to transfer its Engineer Mine property and the adjoining Gold Hill Property which it acquired from BCGold Corp. (now Pan Andean Minerals Ltd.) in early 2017 together with certain claims it had previously acquired (the “Engineer Gold Mine Project”) to Engineer Gold Mines Ltd. (“Engineer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blind Creek subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals) for common shares of Engineer (the “Engineer Distribution Shares”) . The Engineer Distribution Shares will then be distributed to the common shareholders of Blind Creek on the reduction of the stated capital of the Blind Creek common shares, all by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”) . Blind Creek and Engineer have entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) dated January 19, 2018 in connection with the Arrangement (which has been filed under Blind Creek’s profile on www.SEDAR.com.) The Arrangement is intended to deliver value to shareholders by unlocking the potential of the Engineer Gold Mines Project. 4
The Engineer Gold Mine, B.C. Yesterday and Today 5
Engineer Gold Mine Property, B.C. • The Engineer Gold Mine is a historic high-grade gold-silver producer situated 32 km southwest of Atlin, B.C. • It is estimated that 14,263 tonnes was mined between 1910 and 1952, although the majority of the production occurred between 1912 and 1927 from 8 mine levels. Engineer Gold Mine produced 18,000 ounces gold and 9,000 ounces silver averaging 39 g/t Au and 18 g/t Ag, respectively. • The Property is an under- explored “ Porgera- style” epithermal system with > 25 known veins and 2 major shear structures providing exploration potential for additional high-grade and large bulk-tonnage gold deposits. 6
Location Map Engineer Gold Mine Property, B.C. • The Engineer Gold Mine Property was acquired by Blind Creek on April 26th, 2017. • Access by float / ski-equipped plane, helicopter, boat and barge. • Historic gold mine situated on patented crown grants. • >$4.7M expenditures by previous owner. • Small high-grade gold production opportunity defined by previous owner. 7
Engineer Gold Mine Claim Map • Blind Creek recently tripled property size to 12,032 ha by staking. • Property overlays the entire Engineer Gold Mine Camp. • No underlying royalty on historic mine workings and Wann River claims. 8
Engineer Gold Mine Property, B.C. • The Engineer Gold Mine is a fully permitted, advanced exploration project that possesses a small, but high-grade, Inferred Mineral Resource. Recent diamond drilling, surface trenching, underground sampling, on-site test milling and geological mapping have confirmed the geological continuity of the Engineer and Double Decker veins. Other veins such as the Boulder- Governor, Shaft, Andy and Jersey Lily are targets that could possibly add to the mineral resource base with further exploration success. • The Engineer Gold Mine Project can be advanced with exploration along the known shear zones (Shear A and Shear B). Both shears have multi-km strike lengths and host significant widths of silica-rich hydrothermal breccia with low-grade gold mineralization. With the exception of a limited drill program conducted in 2008, there has been very little work completed on these shear zones. Significant diamond drilling results from Shear A include values up to 34.0 metres grading 0.45 g/t Au (2011). • Preliminary soil geochemical surveys have shown that these shear structures are anomalous in gold pathfinder elements such as arsenic and antimony. A systematic, property-wide soil survey would be the initial step to identify any higher-grade anomalies for drill testing. 9
Engineer Gold Mine Property, B.C. • 2018 NI 43-101 Technical Report received January 18, 2018 with stated Inferred Resource (open to expansion) that includes 20,100 oz. gold grading 1.75 oz/ton gold (60 g/t) in 10,400 tonnes at 25 g/t Au Cutoff on Engineer Vein.* • The Technical Report proposes a $6.2 million exploration and development program to be conducted in two phases to continue advancing the Engineer Gold Mine Project. The proposed program focuses on mineral resource expansion, metallurgical test-work, and bulk sampling. • Engineer Gold Mines Ltd. is expected to list on the TSX.V Exchange by mid-April, 2018 and is positioning to conduct a significant 2-Phase exploration, mine dewatering and test-mining / milling program at the Engineer Gold Mine Property in 2018. * NI 43-101 Technical Report entitled “Engineer Gold Mine, British Columbia, Canada - 2018” authored by Darren O’Brien, P. Geo, Michael Redfearn, P. Eng. and Dr. Simon Dominy, FAuslMM(CP), FGS(CGeol) dated January 18, 2018 10
Regional and Engineer Gold Mine Crown Grants Property Geology • Adjacent to Llewellyn Fault; major domain boundary between Hub A Stikine and Nisling Hub B Terrains. • Black sediments intruded by quartz monzonite to diorite dykes and stocks • Property cut by Llewellyn-related shear zones up to 150 metres wide hosting hydrothermal breccia and low-grade gold. • > 25 narrow, dilational veins discovered to date with high-grade gold mineralization. 11
Engineer Gold Mine – Shear Zones, Veins, Surface Drilling & Underground Development (Level 5) • 5,500 m of underground development on 8 levels. • 5th Level portal with rail. Hub A Hub B • 2 styles of epithermal gold mineralization. • Narrow high grade veins (0.3 – 3.0 m, >35 g/t Au). • Broad, low grade shear structures with hydrothermal breccias (0.45 g/t over 34 m). • Unexplored below 200 m from surface. Shear B • 1,850 m surface drill program in 2008 (Shear Zone A), 1,100 m UG drill program in 2010 (Engineer & Double Decker Veins), and bulk sampling program in 2011 (mined and Shear A milled 5 bulk samples for 246.1 tonnes). • Mine dewatering , rehabilitation, panel sampling of 6 and 7 Levels in 2012. 12
Engineer Gold Mine Production History • Past production was primarily from 2 high-grade gold (39 g/t Au) and silver (19 g/t) veins on 8 mine levels. • Mine workings access 7 veins, all open at depth. Four veins with high- grade mineralization above the 5th Level (main haulage). • Veins and high-grade gold mineralization has been confirmed by the previous owner to extend below the deepest mine level by recent drilling, (22.32 g/t Au over 0.96 metres), mine dewatering, bulk sampling and on- site milling. • In 2011, 5 bulk samples totaling 246 tonnes from remnant pillars of the Engineer Vein were test-mined and milled, producing 826 kg of gold gravity concentrate (containing 68 oz gold) which was monetized for US$107,000 (Net). 13
