Metanor Intersects 10.1 g/t Au Over 26.2 Meters Near Surface

VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Sep 22, 2015) - Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) is pleased to provide this update on its exploration drilling program, from the surface, in the area surrounding the Bachelor Mine. A surface drill located 925 meters south of the Bachelor Mine has intersected 10.1 g/t over 26.2 meters of drill cores assayed. The drilling continues in the same hole since there are more potential targets at depth. This result is part of a drill campaign that is a following up from holes drilled in 2013 and a geophysical survey completed in the fall 2014 in the region surrounding Bachelor Mine. See the press release published March 12, 2015 for more details.

Initially, hole MO-15-08 was drilled in August. See the attached plan for the collar location. Following the results obtained from this first hole, a geophysical survey using a hole to hole - Induced polarization (H2H IP) method was conducted in the first hole, and indicated a large anomaly in the area. A second surface drill rig was brought in to drill hole MO-15-14. The location of the second hole targeted the large anomaly.
