Falco Intercepts 108.9m Averaging 3.10 g/t Au Eq at Horne 5

MONTREAL, QC--(Marketwired - November 09, 2015) - Falco Resources (TSX VENTURE: FPC) ("Falco") is pleased to announce continuing positive results of its current confirmation drilling program on the Company's 100% owned Horne 5 project. The new results include 2 additional pilot holes and 2 wedges. The total 18 planned holes have now been completed and logged. Results are still pending for two remaining pilot holes and their respective wedges. Comparisons of the new results with the nearest historical data continue to confirm the overall grade and geometry of the Horne 5 deposit.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM CONFIRMATION HORNE 5 DRILLING PROGRAM

Analytical results have been received for the first 14 holes drilled at Horne 5. Comparisons of these results with the nearest historical data are shown in the following tables. The comparisons are made on all assays for the entire length of the mineralized zone without application of a cut-off grade. The lengths presented are core length. Given the historical drill holes are not parallel to the 2015 drill holes, cylinders of 15m around the 2015 drill holes were used to select the historical samples in the immediate vicinity of the drill hole for the basis of comparison. Note that the historical data shown below does not include silver analytical results which are lacking in the historical data base.

The Horne 5 mineralized zone occurs in a thick volcanic sequence composed of massive to breccia rhyolite and felsic tuffs. Known as the Horne sequence, the strongly altered units are flanked to the North by the Horne Creek Fault and to the South by the Andesite Fault. Sericitisation and silicification affect the felsic rocks in the vicinity of the mineralized zone. Mafic intrusions and local mafic volcanics are also present in the package.

The Horne 5 mineralization is hosted in the same sequence having hosted the Horne deposit. The mineralisation is essentially composed of pyrite with lesser amounts of sphalerite and chalcopyrite. The pyrite appears massive to semi- massive in "centimetric" to "plurimetric" intervals (lenses), disseminated and blebs.

The sphalerite, frequently observed, is mainly associated with the massive pyrite. Less frequent, the chalcopyrite appears in stringers.

The results from the 2 additional pilot holes (H5-15-05, H5-15-08) and their respective wedges continue to confirm the grades of the historical drill holes.

Comparison of 2015 Drill Hole Data vs. Historical Raw Assay Data

Note 1: Hole H5-15-05-Atw intercepted a major fault zone which limited the intersection of the entire mineralized zone. The current results do not represent the full length of the mineralized zone, as the hole was stopped before crossing through the mineralized zone completely.

Breakdown of Confirmation Drilling Results at $0 NSR

The new drilling continues to verify the geometry of mineralized zones defined by the historic work of Noranda, and compares favorably with historical grades. DDH

H5-15-02 and H5-15-03 tested a silver and zinc-rich zone located in the upper part of the deposit, while DDH H5-15-04 tested the extension of the resource envelope. DDH H5-15-06, H5-15-05 and H5-15-08 initiated testing of a known gold and copper-rich zone. Based on the recent results and current drilling program, the company anticipates the remaining holes to continue to confirm the historical data and resources.

Gold equivalent calculations are based on the following assumptions: exchange rate of $Cdn1.05/$US, metal prices of (all $US): gold $1,300/oz, copper $3.30/lb, zinc $0.95/lb. Metallurgical testing is underway to facilitate optimization of these estimates utilizing available Horne 5 drill core.

Mr. Bernier is an employee of Falco and is non-independent.

QA/QC

Falco has implemented a strict quality-control program to comply with best practices in the sampling and analysis of drill core. As part of its QA/QC program, Falco inserts certified external mineralized standards. In the mineralized zones, each shipment is comprised of 27 samples. Every shipment is composed of 23 samples, a standard, a blank, a pulp duplicate and a reject duplicate placed randomly every 15^th sample to test the laboratory analysis methods and precision for each shipment of samples. Blanks and standards are inserted within the normal sample number sequence. Assay results and certificates of analysis are interpreted and reported on a regular basis. If anomalies are detected, the laboratory is advised and the entire batch of samples is re-assayed. In non-mineralized zones, every shipment is composed of 27 samples, which includes a standard and a blank. In non-mineralized zones, if anomalies are detected, the laboratory is advised, but the batch of samples is not necessarily re-assayed.

About Falco

Falco Resources Ltd. is one of the largest mineral claim holders in the Province of Québec, with extensive land holdings in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Falco owns 74,000 hectares of land in the Rouyn-Noranda mining camp, which represents 70% of the entire camp and includes 13 former gold and base metal mine sites. Falco's principal property is the Horne Mine, which was operated by Noranda from 1927 to 1976 and produced 11.6 million ounces of gold and 2.5 billion pounds of copper. A maiden 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Horne 5 deposit delineated an initial inferred resource of 2.8 Moz AuEq at 3.41 g/t AuEq (25.3 million tonnes grading 2.64 g/t Au, 0.23% Cu and 0.7% Zn, for 2.2 Moz Au -- see March 4, 2014 press release for details).
