ABITIBI ROYALTIES INCREASES ROYALTY HOLDINGS IN RED LAKE DISTRICT

Abitibi Royalties Inc. (RZZ-TSX-V: "Abitibi Royalties" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has partnered with AuRico Metals Inc. ("AuRico") for the purpose of entering into an agreement with Frontline Gold Corporation ("Frontline") that allows each company to acquire a 1% net smelter royalty ("NSR") on several early stage exploration projects in the Red Lake district. The exploration projects are located south of Goldcorp's Red Lake mine, with the largest claim package adjoining Pure Gold's Madsen mine to the east and south.

These acquisitions will build on the Company's Red Lake royalty portfolio, which also includes a 2% NSR on the White Horse Island Project (also owned by Frontline), situated between the Goldcorp / Premier Gold Rahill-Bonanza Gold Property and Premier Gold's Hasaga Gold Property (Fig. 1). A total of fourteen royalties have now been purchased near existing mines since the Company's "Royalty Search" was launched in June 2015 (http://www.abitibiroyalties.com' target=_blank>http://www.abitibiroyalties.com' target=_blank>http://www.abitibiroyalties.com).
