PREMIER GOLD DRILLS DEEP AT HARDROCK; INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE GOLD INCLUDING 39.2G/T (1.14 OZ/TON) GOLD OVER 4.8M (15.7 FEET)

Premier Gold Mines Ltd.'s deep drilling has intersected multiple high-grade gold zones below the bottom level of the historically mined North zone at the Hardrock project in Northwestern Ontario. Highlights include an intercept of 39.20 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) across 4.8 metres (m) or 1.14 ounces per ton across 15.7 feet. This hole has confirmed that the North zone deposit is wide open at depth, with intersections as deep as 40 metres below the historic workings. Additionally, final work is being done in advance of releasing an initial National Instrument 43-101 resource calculation for Hardrock on open-pit-style deposits. ----.
