OOO Otis Gold Corp

Otis Gold Corp. (“Otis” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: OOO) (OTC: OGLDF) is pleased to announce that it has received approval for a significantly enlarged exploration program at its 100%-owned Kilgore Project in Clark County, Idaho. The U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”) issued a Decision Notice authorizing a 5-year exploration plan which provides significant flexibility to drill on up to 140 drill sites (see generalized Kilgore drill site location map) throughout the Kilgore Project, including step-out and infill drilling at the existing Kilgore Deposit and exploration drilling at emerging targets including Gold Ridge, Prospect Ridge and Dog Bone Ridge. The Plan of Operation was approved by the United States Forest Service (the “USFS”) after completion of an Environmental Assessment, a process which included input and feedback from the local community and others.  Otis is currently placing the reclamation bond and meeting other USFS stipulations in the Decision Notice to enable the commencement of exploration activities, including road construction and drilling.

Otis President and CEO, Craig Lindsay, states: “The approval of our new Plan of Operation is a major milestone in the development of the Kilgore Project. Prior to this new permit, we were operating under significant constraints which allowed very limited step-out drilling away from the existing deposit, and no drilling at exploration targets. The majority of the Kilgore Project has had limited historic drilling outside of the current deposit area, so this new authorization is a very positive development for Otis. I want to take this opportunity to thank the USFS team for their collaborative approach to the permitting process.  As well, we have very much appreciated the feedback from local groups.  As stewards of the land at Kilgore, we remain committed to utilizing exploration best practices at Kilgore.”

A copy of the Final Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact has been posted on the USFS website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/nfs/11558/www/nepa/108369_FSPLT3_4405276.pdf.
