PPX Plans Aggressive 2019 Drill Campaign at Igor, Announces Financing

VANCOUVER, December 6, 2018 - PPX Mining Corp.(the "Company" or "PPX") is pleased to announce that it has begun planning its 2019 exploration drilling program at Igor.Based on the results of the Company's Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") for the Callanquitas Mine and heap leach facility (please see press release dated December 4, 2018), PPX has identified multiple drill targets in the Callanquitas area that could add gold and silver resource ounces in the immediate proximity of existing and planned underground mine workings.Discovery of additional resource blocks within the Callanquitas structure could allow the Company to expand future production at the Callanquitas Mine.The Company also intends to aggressively drill the new Portachuelos discovery located 800 metres south of the Callanquitas Reserves.Specific drill targets include:

• Callanquitas Oeste (West).The deepest portions of the Callanquitas Mine also have the highest precious metal grades in the PFS mine plan.This portion of the deposit is open at depth and for 800 metres on strike towards the Portachuelos discovery.This gap is longer than the entire Callanquitas known Resource and has a large tonnage potential (Please see longitudinal section posted on our website).Approximately 9,000 metres of diamond core drilling is currently planned for Callanquitas Oeste.
• Callanquitas Este (East).The main and northern portion of the Callanquitas structure is open at depth, and as seen in Callanquitas Oeste, the best silver and gold grades are seen in the deepest drill holes and Resource blocks (Please see longitudinal section posted on our website).We anticipate that underground workings will have advanced far enough by calendar Q3 2019 to access underground locations suitable for deeper drilling within the Callanquitas structure.Once accessible, 3,000 metres of underground diamond core drilling is planned.
• Portachuelos.As a follow-up to the Portachuelos gold and silver zone discovery south of the Callanquitas Mine, the Company is planning 5,000 metres of diamond core drilling to infill the zone and also step out from the discovery in order to determine the ultimate extents of the system.The large size of the Portachuelos system, coupled with the thick and near surface nature of gold and silver mineralization, indicates the presence of a potentially large-scale surface-minable system.

Brian J Maher, President and CEO of PPX Mining Corp..commented: "With the completion of the Callanquitas PFS, we can now focus on rapidly growing the gold and silver resource base, particularly in areas easily accessible by the underground workings, both proposed and existing.Our goal is to define sufficient resources to justify a significant capacity increase to the mine and heap leach facility.Simultaneously, we intend to better characterize silver distribution and metallurgy, both in the ore body and in the Resource, so that we can properly evaluate adding a conventional mill circuit to the project flow sheet.We view the mine plan and production schedule in the PFS as simply the first step in the future development of the entire Igor Project area".
