Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR:
TSX-V) ("Serengeti" or "the Company") is pleased to
report results from recent field mapping and prospecting at the Top
Cat property, which is under option from the Pinchi Group [see
Serengeti press release dated July 23rd, 2019] (the “Top Cat
Option”). The Top Cat property covers approximately 240 sq.
km. in north-central BC. The property adjoins the western
margin of Sun Metals' and Teck's Lorraine claim groups. It
lies approximately 10km north of the Lorraine copper-gold deposit.
Company geologists completed a mapping and
sampling program at Top Cat in September, collecting 79 rock and
282 soil and stream sediment samples from six (6) prospective
localities on the property. Copper mineralization, in the
form of chalcopyrite and/or bornite, was observed at all six
localities. Gold assays from trace to 6.50 g/t Au were
returned from the sampling. Serengeti plans a substantive
follow-up IP and mapping/sampling program at Top Cat in 2020 to
develop future drill targets.

David Moore, President and CEO of Serengeti
Resources stated: “We are pleased with the results of this year’s
exploration program which indicates multiple area of interest for
follow-up in 2020. When combined with the Cat Mountain target
where historic drilling has intersected up to 1.1 g/t Au over 122
m, we view the large Top Cat property as having district scale
potential. Furthermore, the highly encouraging exploration
results reported on our other properties from this year’s work
including at East Niv, Arjay-Goldway and Croy Bloom backed up by
some strong geophysical signatures, has identified some exciting
drill targets for follow up in 2020.”

maps can be viewed on the project page on our website by clicking

Haw-Dove-Raven Areas
The Haw-Dove-Raven area is located in the
western portion of the Top Cat property along a western limb of
strongly magnetic intrusive rocks. The area is dominated by a
megacrystic hornblende syenite which hosts a potassically-altered
megacrystic quartz monzonite plug. Outcrop grab and transect
chip sampling in 2019 identified strong Au-Cu-Ag mineralization
within quartz-pyrite-Cu-sulphide veins (up to 6.50 g/t Au, 0.15% Cu
and 13.4 g/t Ag; see Table 1, above). Furthermore, the 6.50
g/t Au sample also returned 0.69% tungsten which may indicate a
link to a porphyry source of the mineralization. In sample
JP009, 0.27% molybdenum is associated with a quartz boulder in
float which also suggests a possible porphyry link. The
identified area of interest stretches roughly 900m, parallel to the
magnetic anomaly.
Slide – Fox Areas
Slide - Fox is located in the center of the Top
Cat property. It represents the northwestward extension of
similar rocks and strong magnetics on Teck’s adjacent property.
Teck’s 2006 drilling returned up to 55.5m of 0.72% Cu from
drilling completed near the Top Cat boundary in 2006 (BCMEMPR
Assessment Report 28944). Slide is positioned along an
eastern limb of laminated migmatitic monzodioritic to syenitic
intrusive rocks that strike northwest and continue southeast
towards the Lorraine claim group.
Rocks at Slide are variably potassically altered
with both biotite and K-Feldspar and disseminated chalcopyrite
occurrences parallel to banding within host intrusives as well as
within cross-cutting syenite dykes. West of the main Slide -
Fox area, bornite and chalcocite occur within syenite dykelets
hosted by migmatitic intrusive rocks. In the 2019 sampling
program, the Company identified locally strong Cu-Au-Ag
mineralization (trace up to 1.10% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au and 24.0 g/t Ag)
in grab and transect chip sampling. The mineralization
zone continues over approximately 1,600m in a northwesterly
direction parallel to the dominant magnetic anomaly.
The Fox area lies roughly 2,800m northwest of
Slide. In 2019, sampling returned trace to 0.55% Cu, 0.27 g/t
Au and 9.1 g/t Ag from boulder float located near the inferred
contact between Duckling Creek syenite and hornblende diorite of
the Thane Creek suite.
Nova Area
The Nova area is located in the northern
property area. It is largely overlain by till with local
angular mineralized magnetite-sulphide bearing pyroxenite
boulders underlain by an intense magnetic anomaly measuring roughly
500m by 800m. Historical boulder samples assay up to
0.52% Cu, 0.327 g/t Au, 4.4 g/t Ag, 0.071 g/t Pt and 0.498 g/t Pd
(BCMEMPR Assessment Report 37051). Boulder samples collected
by the Company in 2019 assay up to 0.37% Cu, 0.58 g/t Au and 4.4
g/t Ag. Soil sampling completed by the Company in 2019
identified a strong Cu-Ag anomaly along the fringes of the magnetic
feature that may be related to mineralization within a buried
pyroxenite body, which may be the source of observed magnetic
response.
Serengeti intends to follow up the 2019 mapping
and sampling program at Top Cat with a program of
induced-polarization and additional mapping and sampling in 2020 in
order to develop future drill targets.
Top Cat Agreement
On August 1, 2019 the TSX Venture Exchange
granted acceptance of the Top Cat Option to acquire a 100% interest
in the claim group. Pursuant to the Option, the Company is
required to spend a total of $1,250,000 in exploration work and
make a series of staged payments over 5 years, totaling $340,000
cash and 1,500,000 shares. Exchange acceptance was received
for the 500,000 share issuances payable upon signing, through to
year 3. Further Exchange acceptance will be required for
shares issuances in years 4 and 5.
The Top Cat Option required a cash payment of
$15,000 be made on or before October 31, 2019. The Optionor
agreed to accept payment by the issuance of 83,333 common shares,
at a deemed price of 0.18 per share in lieu of the cash
payment. This issuance will be deducted from the
200,000 issuance required in year 3 of the Top Cat Option.
Exchange acceptance will therefore be required for any issuances in
years 3 through 5 of the Top Cat Option.

Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
Sample analysis for the 2019 Top Cat program was
completed at Bureau Veritas Minerals Laboratory in Vancouver, BC,
which is ISO 9001:2015 and 17025 accredited. Copper and
silver analyses were determined by MA250 which is an ultra-trace
ICP-MS method following four-acid digestion and is capable of
determining up to 10,000 ppm Cu and 200,000 ppb Ag; Au 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 and Ag 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% for Cu and 2 ppm for Ag;
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 staff and the technical
