Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR: TSX-V) ("Serengeti"
or "the Company") is pleased to report results from the 2019
drilling campaign at the ATTY Project in north-central BC, and to
provide an update on the Croy-Bloom and Topcat exploration
programs. ATTY lies immediately north of and adjacent to Centerra
Gold’s Kemess property. Serengeti secured an option to earn a 100%
interest in the ATTY project from Finlay Minerals Ltd. (“Finlay”)
and Electrum Resource Corporation (“Electrum”) in 2018.
David Moore, CEO commented, “In parallel with
our Kwanika development project, Serengeti is pleased to report on
our continued focus on exploration in our Quesnel Trough/Toodogonne
package of properties which represent one of our pillars of value
in the company alongside Kwanika. Serengeti strives to bring
value to our shareholders by developing a pipeline of various stage
projects and balancing exploration upside for discovery with
project development through engineering. We continue to be excited
about providing our shareholders with exploration opportunities in
one of Canada’s most exciting exploration districts.”

The 2019 drilling program at ATTY confirmed that
the three targets tested have the potential to host a mineralized
system. Geological observations and locally strongly anomalous gold
values in AT-08 and -13 and the fact that all three holes in
the area may have terminated in a post mineral sill suggests
the Kemess East Offset area remains a viable exploration
target, especially considering the nearest holes were
collared 290 metres from the boundary with Centerra. At the Valley
Target, the presence of a previously unknown quartz-monzonite
intrusive hosting mineralization and locally anomalous gold values
in AT-10 suggests good potential also remains here. Finally,
strongly anomalous Ag, Au, Zn and Pb within fault zones and
silicified hydrothermal breccias at the Boundary Target
demonstrates a hydrothermal system is present and warrants
follow-up drilling. Using the comprehensive multi-parameter dataset
produced in 2019, Serengeti will be advancing the ATTY targeting
model with the aim of refining drilling targets for future
testing.
On March 1, 2018, Finlay optioned the ATTY
Property to Serengeti Resources Inc. for $1.85 million in
consideration and $12 million of work over 8 years. The option
agreement’s term is over 8 years with all cash payments totaling
$625,000, combined cash and/or share payments totaling $975,000,
and further payments of $250,000 to purchase Finlay’s royalty
rights, in addition to optional work commitments on the ATTY
Property of $12 million. The first and second anniversary
financial terms have been met. Serengeti has now further met
the work commitments of a minimum of $875,000 of work on the ATTY
due by April 2020. The option agreement continues to be in
effect.
Croy-Bloom Induced-Polarization Surveys
In early July, Serengeti conducted a geophysical
program on its 100% owned Croy-Bloom property. Ten line-km of IP
were completed in 3 lines to expand on IP coverage from the 2018
program. Strong chargeability anomalies were delineated on two of
the recent lines, which were surveyed across and on the fringes of
a large intrusive body associated with strong coincident Cu and Au
geochemical anomalies in the areas of Soup Ridge, Davie Creek Moly
and Porphyry Creek. When combined with prior IP, three drill
targets have now been outlined: a deep chargeability anomaly under
Soup Ridge, lying below anomalous copper gold values
intersected in prior shallow drilling (0.27 g/t Au, 0.61% Cu over
47m); a near surface and possibly related deeper feature
directly associated with the Croy vein where historical channel
sampling outlined a narrow massive sulphide vein assaying 15.7 g/t
Au, 10.5% Cu along 105 m of strike length; and a strong
chargeability anomaly that extends from surface to depth below
historical mineral occurrences such as the Croydon Mine adit
(measuring 100 x 0.7m grading 3.0% Cu and 10.3 g/t Au), rock
samples grading up to 3.1% Cu and 42.5 g/t Au, and strong
Cu-in-soil geochemistry. Aummary map is available at the link
below:

Top Cat Mapping and Sampling
Serengeti recently concluded a 25-day mapping
and sampling program on the Top Cat property which is under option
from the Pinchi Group (see Serengeti press release dated July 23rd,
2019). The property covers approximately 240 sq. km. in central BC
and adjoins the western margin of Sun Metals' and Teck's Lorraine
property. It is located approximately 10km north of the Lorraine
copper-gold deposit. A total of 79 rock and 282 soil and stream
sediment samples were collected from 6 prospective areas on the
property. Copper mineralization, in the form of chalcopyrite and/or
bornite, was observed at a number of localities and analytical
results are pending. Serengeti is planning an extensive follow-up
IP and mapping/sampling program at Top Cat in 2020 in order to
develop future drill targets.

Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
Sample analysis for the 2019 Atty drilling
program was completed at Bureau Veritas Minerals Laboratory in
Vancouver, BC, which is ISO 9001:2015 and 17025 accredited. A
robust quality assurance/quality control program was completed by
Serengeti which included inserting field blanks, standards and
duplicates into the sample stream before being shipped to the
laboratory. QAQC samples accounted for a minimum of 10% of the
samples which were analyzed in addition to the laboratory’s own
quality assurance program. Copper and silver analyses were
determined by MA250 which is an ultra-trace 59-element ICP-MS
method following four-acid digestion and is capable of determining
up to 10,000 ppm Cu and 200,000 ppb Ag; Gold was determined by
FA430, a lead collection, Fire Assay/AAS method using a 30-gram
sub-sample and has an upper detection limit of 10 ppm Au. Overlimit
Cu analyses were determined by MA370 which is an ore-grade ICP-ES
method following four-acid digestion and has a lower detection
limit of 0.001% Cu; overlimit Au analyses were determined by FA530,
a lead collection, Fire Assay/gravimetric method using a 30-gram
sub-sample and has a lower detection limit of 0.9 ppm Au. The field
program was supervised by Serengeti Resources Inc. staff and the
technical information in this news release has been prepared in
accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in
National Instrument 43-101, and reviewed by the Company’s qualified
person, David W. Moore, P. Geo., President and CEO of Serengeti
Resources Inc who has supervised the preparation of and approved
the scientific and technical information in this news release.
