Renaissance Gold Inc. (TSX.V:REN / OTCQB:RNSGF) ('RenGold' or the 'Company') is pleased to report another strong year of exploration for the Company.

During 2019, partners completed drilling on 5 of our projects, we successfully generated and acquired 4 new high-quality exploration opportunities, saw significant advancement of our Silicon Project by AngloGold Ashanti ('AngloGold'), and we welcomed Altius Minerals as a significant shareholder of the Company

The Company enters 2020 in a strong position, with funding partners on 6 of its projects and a healthy treasury (C$3.56M as at 9/30/19). We currently anticipate partner drilling on at least 3 of those projects in 2020. AngloGold has significantly advanced our Silicon project with extensive geophysical surveys, completion of 47 drill holes, and plans for additional drilling under a new Plan of Operations permit. Should AngloGold choose to complete their purchase option, the final payment of US$2.4M (C$3.1M) comes due in June 2020, with the Company's retention of a 1% NSR. The payment would be very meaningful and would fund the Company for nearly 2 additional years and the royalty could potentially be very material for the Company as the Silicon project progresses and the NSR becomes monetized. Robert Felder, President and CEO states 'We are quite pleased with the continuing aggressive pace of exploration by the Company. We see each of our projects as a value creation opportunity, and our ability to generate, partner and drill test several projects every year is an excellent platform from which to maximize the probability of making another significant discovery and bring meaningful value to our shareholders. Our Silicon Project has been explored aggressively by AngloGold, and we very much look forward to continuing developments on this project, which may have important implications for the Company'.
