VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 4, 2017 / Legion Metals Corp. ("Legion" or the "Company") (CNSX: LEGN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amended and restated property option agreement (the "Amended Option Agreement") respecting the Company's Millen Mountain Property in Nova Scotia (the "Property") with Probe Metals Inc. ("Probe").

In April 2017, the Company entered into a property option agreement whereby Probe may earn a 50% interest in the Property by incurring exploration expenditures of $250,000 by October 2018. Under the Amended Option Agreement, the parties have agreed that upon successfully earning a 50% interest in the Property, Probe will have the right to earn an additional 25% interest in the Property (for an aggregate 75% interest) by incurring an additional $250,000 in exploration expenditures (for an aggregate of $500,000 in exploration expenditures) by October 2019. The Amended Option Agreement also increases, from 1% to 2%, the net smelter royalty payable to a party that has its interest in the Property diluted to 10% or less pursuant to the joint venture to be formed once Probe earns its interest in the Property.

Peter Smith, the Company's President and CEO, said, "We are very pleased to expand Probe's option for the Millen Mountain property. Probe's desire to increase its earn-in rights in the property reflects the property's potential. In amending the option agreement, we feel that it is in the Company's best interests to rely on Probe's exploration guidance, which also enables the Company to preserve its capital."
