Vancouver, British Columbia - E79 Resources Corp. (CSE: ESNR) (OTCQB: ESVNF) ('E79' or the 'Company') is pleased to report high-grade gold intersections at its inaugural drill program at the Twist Creek Prospect located 40km north of the Happy Valley Prospect at its Myrtleford Project in Victoria, Australia.

DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS

Multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralization and elevated base metals were intersected in all three drill holes completed at the Scandinavian Prospect at the Twist Creek area.

Drill Intersections include; 1.6m @ 17 g/t gold (Au) from 73m (hole TWD006), including 0.6m @ 43 g/t Au, 25.5g/t silver, 1.3% lead, and 0.25% zinc from 74m, and 0.4m @ 6.77 g/t Au from 128m.

1.1m @ 15.3 g/t Au from 67.9m (hole TWD003), including 0.6m @ 27.4 g/t Au from 67.9m, and 1m @ 3.84 g/t Au from 111m.

0.75m @ 14.15 g/t Au from 75m (hole TWD004).

The initial drill results from the Scandinavian Prospect confirm the extensions of gold mineralization beneath historical workings which remain open at depth.

Drilling continues to expand on these results on multiple structures over a 3km northwest trend with a further 4km of trend length remaining to be tested.

Patrick Donnelly, E79's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, 'E79 Resources is extremely pleased that these results, from an area never previously drill tested, have returned excellent gold grades, and confirm that the Twist Creek area will be one of the focus areas for future expansion drill programs. I will also note that the Scandinavian Prospect is one of many prospects within the Twist Creek area and we are optimistic of more positive results as we continue our exploration activities. These drill intercepts also further support our view that the Myrtleford property may yield a significant gold discovery. The drilling at Twist Creek targeting a high-grade historical mining camp continues in parallel as we continue our work in the Happy Valley district to the south.'

At the Scandinavian Prospect, three drill holes were completed (TWD003, TWD004 and TWD006) targeting beneath the historical workings detected and mapped via aerial LiDAR surveys last year. These high-grade drilling results with gold up to 43 g/t, and elevated base metals up to 1.3% lead and 0.25% zinc are located 65m below surface and remain open at depth. Further to that, shallow historical stopes and voids, where mining was previously undertaken, were intersected in all holes with low-grade gold observed in the footwall of these mined out voids in drill hole TWD006. These targets remain untested in the hanging wall of the higher-grade zones observed. Although historical records of these workings are not available, they underline the potential for this prospect and what remains both below and along strike. Further drill testing is warranted at this exciting new target.

Two holes were also completed at the Polar Star Prospect, where both holes intersected the targeted subvertical structure which returned encouraging results including 7m @ 0.6 g/t Au from 101m, including 1m @ 1.53 g/t Au and 1m @ 1.44 g/t Au (see significant intercepts in Table 1).

All drill holes were drilled on inclinations ranging between -31 and -61 degrees and drilled as perpendicular to the targets as the drill sites would allow (see Table 2). Historical mining operations were undertaken on subvertical steeply dipping quartz vein structures. Drill core intersection angles of the quartz vein structures range between 35 and 50 degrees to the core axis, so the true width is expected to be between 40 and 70% of the downhole width.

ABOUT E79 RESOURCES CORP.

E79 Resources is focused on exploring for Fosterville-type mineralization at its Beaufort and Myrtleford properties in the Victorian Goldfields, Australia. At Beaufort, an opportunity exists to explore for a hard rock source of a major alluvial goldfield along a structure that is known to host gold in the region. The Myrtleford property represents the consolidation of an entire historic gold camp with over 70 past producing gold mines on the property, where the bulk of historic mining stopped at the water table.
