Highway 50 Gold Seeks to Extend Terms of Previously Issued Warrants

Vancouver, British Columbia — Highway 50 Gold Corp. (TSX.V — HWY)

Highway 50 Gold Corp. (“Highway 50” or the “Company”) announces that the Company proposes to extend the terms of outstanding common share purchase warrants as follows:

• 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants (the “May 10th Warrants”) issued pursuant to a non-brokered private placement which closed on May 10, 2017. The May 10th Warrants are exercisable into common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.60 per common share and were previously extended to expire on May 10, 2019. The Company will seek acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) to further extend the term of the May 10th Warrants for an additional year to May 10, 2020. The exercise period of the May 10th Warrants may be accelerated at the option of the Company if the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the Exchange, or such other stock exchange where the majority of trading volume occurs, equals or exceeds $1.00 over a period of 10 consecutive trading days.

• 600,000 common share purchase warrants (the May 4th Warrants”) issued pursuant to a non-brokered private placement which closed on May 4, 2018. The May 4th Warrants are exercisable into common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 until May 4, 2019. The Company will seek acceptance from the Exchange to extend the term of the May 4th Warrants to May 4, 2020.

The proposed amendments to extend the expiry dates of the May 10th Warrants and the May 4th Warrants are subject to Exchange acceptance.
