Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 23, 2017) - Argo Gold Inc. (CSE: ARQ) ("Argo Gold" or the "Company") has staked 16 claim units totaling 256 hectares southeast of Wawa in Naveau Township, Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division. The newly acquired claims are 100% owned by Argo Gold.

The mineral claims cover a large portion of the Centennial Stock which host several past gold producers. The property is situated at the south end of the historic Wawa Gold Mining Camp and is easily accessible from Wawa by major roads (Highway 17 and High Falls Road).

The South Wawa Gold Property contains the Valentti Gold Vein which was trenched and sampled in the early 1990's with channel samples ranging up to 15.4 g/t gold over 2.6 metres. The Valentti Gold Vein averages 4 g/t gold over the 3.4 metre width and 60 metre length of the exposed vein.

Argo Gold believes follow-up exploration activity is warranted at the South Wawa Gold Property particularly because there has been no drilling at the Valentti Gold Vein.

The Company has not yet completed the work necessary to verify the past exploration results and since some of these results are historical in nature and some results predate National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") standards, these results should not be relied upon. In addition, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to verify these historical results and the Company is not treating these results as current. The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Delio Tortosa, P.Eng., a "Qualified Person" as defined by NI 43-101 and a Technical Advisor for Argo Gold.
