VANCOUVER, Aug. 16, 2019 - Stuhini Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V STU) (the "Company" or "Stuhini") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 2,500,000 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Shares"). The Offering will consist of 1,000,000 Shares at a price of $0.17 per share to Mr. Eric Sprott, a strategic investor.

Aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering of up to $470,000 will be used by the Company to fund exploration and development activities at both the Metla Creek Property and the Ruby Creek Property (under option subject to regulatory and shareholder approval), and general administration and corporate purposes.

It is anticipated that certain directors, officers and other insiders of the Company will acquire Shares under the Offering. Such participation will be considered to be "related party transactions" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61 101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61?101") adopted in the Policy. The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61?101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61?101 in respect of related party participation in the Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61?101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61?101).
