Falco Announces a Memorandum of Understanding With Commission scolaire De Rouyn-Noranda

MONTREAL, QC--(Marketwired - September 20, 2017) - Falco Resources Ltd. ("Falco" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: FPC) is pleased to announce a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commission scolaire de Rouyn- Noranda to acquire a building ("Pavillon Quémont") located on the site of the Horne 5 Project. The acquisition is one of the essential and pre-requisite steps in the dewatering and development phase of the Horne 5 Project.

The Council of Commissioners of the Commission scolaire de Rouyn-Noranda and Falco's Board of Directors have approved the Memorandum of Understanding regarding the relocation program for all Pavillon Quémont activities.

The Memorandum of Understanding confirms that Falco will own the building that bears the name Pavillon Quémont upon delivery of the relocation project. The Pavillon's training and labour market integration activities will soon be provided at Complexe La Source-Polymétier (the "Complex"). Falco will fully fund and conduct the expansion of the Complex to accommodate the new activities. The agreement also includes moving Ateliers Manutex, a social economy enterprise, into the Complex.

Relocation and construction costs are estimated at $22.5 million. The work will commence in autumn 2017, following the reception of required permits and authorizations. Falco will be the prime contractor.

Mr. Daniel Candem, Chair of the Council of Commissioners of the Commission scolaire de Rouyn- Noranda, declared: "This is a successful conclusion for our students and the staff of Pavillon Quémont, who are now able to team up with the services offered by the Complexe La Source-Polymétier in an environment that fosters learning and innovation. I am equally certain that the Commission scolaire de Rouyn-Noranda and Falco Resources will reach other service agreements to the benefit of our students and future employees of the company.

Ms. Hélène Piuz, Chair of the Board of Directors of Ateliers Manutex, noted: "This is a wonderful opportunity for us to modernize our facilities and create development opportunities. This agreement aligns with our goals."

Mr. Mario Provencher, Mayor of Rouyn-Noranda, commented: "The presence of Falco Resources can already be felt. The project is a $22.5 million investment in the field of education for our municipality. This is very positive news for Rouyn-Noranda."

Mr. Luc Lessard, President and CEO of Falco, added: "We are very pleased with the discussions we held with all stakeholders. This agreement clearly demonstrates our ability to create major projects in Rouyn- Noranda and our genuine interest in the education and quality of life for the people of our host community. The Horne 5 Project meets all economic, social and environmental development criterias."

TRAME, an architect firm, and SNC-Lavalin Stavibel Inc., an engineering firm, both of Rouyn-Noranda, are the professional firms retained for the engineering and supervision work.
