JIULIAN RESOURCES INC. (TSX-V: JLR) (“Jiulian” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a five-year area-based permit from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to establish up to sixty (60) drill sites and four (4) kilometers of exploration trail for core drilling on its Big Kidd Property located near Merritt, British Columbia. The Company also announces that it has contracted SJ Geophysics Ltd. of Delta, BC, to complete a high resolution Volterra-3D array IP survey (www.sjgeophysics.com/volterra) centered over the Big Kidd Breccia in advance of a 4000-meter winter drill program, which is expected to commence in early 2019. The 3D IP survey was completed over the weekend and results of the IP survey will be released once the final deliverables have been received by the Company.

Jiulian has also commenced construction of core logging and cutting infrastructure at a warehouse facility in West Kelowna, BC, only 87 kms from the property along highway 97C. Drill core will be transported daily from the drill sites to the warehouse facility, where it will be logged, processed, cut, and sampled, allowing the Company to maintain a low all-in drilling cost throughout the program.

Highlights:

• Historic drilling on the Project partially tested the lateral extent of gold-copper porphyry mineralization hosted within a 525m x 400m (surface dimensions) breccia pipe (the “Big Kidd Breccia” or “BK Breccia”) to a maximum vertical depth of less than 275m.
• The 2019 drill plan will test the porphyry with 8 holes having planned depths of 600 meters. The program will employ a drill rig capable of attaining up to 2000 meters depth, should high-grade mineralization be encountered at depth.
• The Big Kidd property is located 25 km (approximately 15 minutes via Highway 97C) east of Merritt, BC, and 102 km west of the Company’s head office in Kelowna, BC. The Property has a network of gravel roads, LTE cellular service and a high-voltage power line running across it.
• Gold-copper porphyry mineralization on the Project is hosted within the Central Facies of the Nicola Volcanic Group, a narrow belt of alkalic volcanic and intrusive rocks of the Quesnel Terrane which host both Copper Mountain Mining Corp.’s Copper Mountain Mine located 63 kilometers to the south of the Project, and New Gold Inc.’s New Afton Mine located 75 kilometers to the north of the Project.¹
• Teck Resources Limited’s Highland Valley Copper Mine is located 62 kilometers northwest of the Project.¹
• Nicola Mining Inc. operates a toll milling facility on the site of the historic Craigmont Copper Mine, 31 kilometers northwest of the Project.¹
• Historic intercepts on the Big Kidd Project include:²
  • 116.0m of 0.79g/t Au and 0.12% Cu in hole DDH97-05
  • 127.3m of 0.42g/t Au and 0.18% Cu in DDH99-02
  • 75.0m of 0.75g/t Au and 0.25% Cu in DDH92-01
