Entourage Metals Ltd.: Completes Acquisition of Tawsho; Provides Update on Consolidation and Name Change

Announces Private Placement

Vancouver, March 1, 2016 - Entourage Metals Ltd. (TSX-V: EMT) ('Entourage' or the 'Company') and Tawsho Mining Inc. (TSX-V: TAW) ('Tawsho') are pleased to announce the completion today of the previously announced plan of arrangement (the 'Arrangement') pursuant to which Entourage has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tawsho.

In addition, effective at market open on March 2, 2016, Entourage will consolidate its common shares on the basis of 1.5 old shares for every 1 new share, change its name to 'Genesis Metals Corp.', and trade on the TSXV under the symbol 'GIS'. Tawsho securityholders will exchange their Tawsho securities for Entourage securities on a post-consolidation basis.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Entourage issued an aggregate of 8,166,666 common shares (on a post-consolidated basis) to the former shareholders of Tawsho, or 0.2297 of an Entourage share for each Tawsho share (the 'Exchange Ratio'). Tawsho warrants and options, in accordance with their terms, are exercisable for Entourage shares, as adjusted by the Exchange Ratio.

Mr. Brian Groves was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Entourage. Mr. Jeff Sundar has resigned as President and CEO and has been appointed Executive Vice President. Mr. John Florek has resigned as Vice President, Exploration and will remain a Director.

The Arrangement was approved by 99.2% of the votes cast by shareholders of Tawsho at an annual general and special meeting held on February 16, 2016, as adjourned to February 23, 2016, which meeting was adjourned in order to effect Tawsho's continuance from Ontario to British Columbia.

Final approval for the Arrangement was obtained from the Supreme Court of British Columbia on February 29, 2016. As a result of the Arrangement, Tawsho amalgamated with 1057643 B.C. Ltd. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entourage. Tawsho common shares will be delisted from the TSXV at market open on March 2, 2016 and applications will be made to the relevant securities commissions for Tawsho to cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws.

Full details of the Arrangement and certain other matters are set out in the management information circular of Tawsho dated January 15, 2016, a copy of which can be found under Tawsho's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
