VANCOUVER, Feb. 18, 2015 - Kaminak Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:KAM) ("Kaminak" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Cormark Securities Inc. and Raymond James Ltd., pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to purchase 12,223,000 common shares ("Common Shares") at a price of $0.90 per Common Share and 8,696,000 flow-through common shares ("Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $1.15 per Flow-Through Share of the Company, on a bought deal private placement basis, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$21 million (the "Offering").

The Company has also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 15% of the number of Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering, exercisable at any time prior to the Closing Date.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares will be used to fund the exploration and development of the Company's Coffee Gold Project located in Yukon, Canada and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses ("CEE") that are "flow-through mining expenditures" (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) on the Company's properties in the Yukon Territories, which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2015, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of Flow-Through Shares. The CEE shall be incurred no later than December 31, 2016.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about March 11, 2015 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture exchange and the securities regulatory authorities.
