Reliant Gold Announces $100,000 Non-Brokered Private Placement of Flow Through Units

TORONTO, June 15, 2017 - Reliant Gold Corp. ("Reliant Gold" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:RNG) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a proposed non-brokered private placement (the "Unit Offering") of up to 2,000,000 Flow-Through Units (the "FT Units") of the Corporation at a price of $0.05 per FT Unit for up to $100,000 in gross proceeds.

Each FT Unit consists of (i) one flow-through common share of the Corporation and (ii) one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one non-flow-through common share of the Company ("a Warrant Share") at a price of $0.10 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Unit Offering.

On a per-FT Unit basis, the Corporation will allocate $0.0499 to each flow-through common share and $0.0001 to the Warrant. An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the flow-through common shares ($0.0499 per flow-through common share) will be used to incur Canadian exploration expenses, as defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada), that will be renounced by the Corporation in favour of the purchasers of the FT Units with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2017.

In connection with the Unit Offering, the Corporation may pay finder's fees in cash or securities or a combination of both, as permitted by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Reliant Gold has previously disclosed all material information relating to the Corporation.

It is anticipated that the Unit Offering will close no later than July 28, 2017, or such later date as may be determined by the Corporation.

The Unit Offering is subject to regulatory approval, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities to be issued pursuant to the above-referenced Unit Offering will be subject to a statutory four month hold period, such period to commence on the date of closing of the Unit Offering.

This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to qualification or registration under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. The Units being sold pursuant to the offering have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
