Terraco Gold Adds Additional Royalty Coverage at Spring Valley Gold Project

Vancouver, BC, February 2, 2017 � (TSX Venture: TEN ) Terraco Gold Corp. (�Terraco� or the �Company�) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, TGC Holdings Ltd. (�TGC�), has exercised its right of first refusal (�ROFR�) to acquire, from the Schmidt Family Mining Partnership LLC, an additional 1% net smelter returns  royalty on certain lands within a one-half mile perimeter (�Perimeter NSR� ) of the Schmidt Claim Block  included in the Spring Valley Gold Project (�Spring Valley�), Pershing County, Nevada. The ROFR, upon exercise, was subject to an option with RK Mine Finance (�Red Kite�) whereby Red Kite�s wholly owned subsidiary, EXP2 LLC, could purchase 50% of the 1% Perimeter NSR from TGC (net 0.5% NSR royalty) on the same terms of the TGC purchase price. Red Kite has concurrently exercised its option and has purchased 50% of the Perimeter NSR with TGC retaining the other 50% or 0.5% NSR royalty.

Terraco currently owns a 3% NSR royalty on the Schmidt Claim Block covering a majority of the known gold resource at Spring Valley, as well as a 1% NSR royalty on adjoining additional lands to the Schmidt Claim Block (the �Additional Royalty Area� ) covering the northeast portion of the known gold resource at Spring Valley. The acquisition of the Perimeter NSR adds new royalty coverage on areas beyond the Schmidt Claim Block and further increases Terraco�s Additional Royalty Area to 1.5% NSR. The Perimeter NSR also adds brand new royalty coverage on the southern portion of the Spring Valley resource where Barrick Gold Corp. (�Barrick�) previously completed step out drilling outlining further evidence for the potential to expand Spring Valley�s resource base.

�We are very pleased to further consolidate and increase our royalty position at Spring Valley, including the additional 0.5% NSR over resource areas on the north side of the deposit and adding coverage to the remaining resource areas where we previously had none. Pre-feasibility development work at Spring Valley has included, but not limited to, extensive resource drilling, metallurgical testwork, hydrological studies, geotechnical studies, pit slope stability studies, mine facility design and seismic hazard analysis. Based on the advanced nature of the work completed by Barrick, we strongly believe that Spring Valley is a cornerstone Nevada asset and are happy to be able to increase royalty coverage on the deposit,� said CEO Todd Hilditch.

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Perimeter NSR both Terraco and Red Kite have each separately paid CDN$743,544 (USD$567,895) for 0.5% of the Perimeter NSR. 

The Spring Valley Gold Project is a pre-feasibility multi-million ounce gold project owned and operated by Solidus Resources, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waterton Precious Metals Fund II Cayman, LP (�Waterton�). Spring Valley adjoins the silver producing Coeur Mining-Rochester Mine and is 125 miles (200km) from Reno Nevada. Waterton purchased and consolidated 100% of the project in December 2015 by acquiring Barrick�s and Midway Gold Corporation�s separate interests in the project.
