Both of the above will be published on the Company's website www.rupertresources.com and will also be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Operating highlights at the Company's projects in Finland for the period are provided below. During the six months ended August 31, 2019, the Company spent $3,071,459 (six months ended August, 2018 - $2,894,015) on exploration and evaluation assets. As at August 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,200,803. On September 9, 2019, the Company raised $7,252,999 through a private placement of new Common shares.

James Withall. Chief Executive of Rupert Resources said "Immediately post the second quarter, on September 9, 2019, the Company significantly strengthened its balance sheet through a $7,252,999 private placement at $0.85 per share, combined with holders of $7,367,500 of the Company's convertible debenture electing to convert into equity at the same price, representing 95% of the total principal value of the convertible. Rupert is now well positioned to intensify its exploration activities across its 297km² land package at Pahtavaara in Northern Finland following the discovery of three new incidences of gold mineralisation in the Area 1 target in Q1 2019."

Operating Highlights

The geology program at Pahtavaara in Northern Finland is currently focused on evaluation of the mineral potential on the 297km² contiguous land package around the Pahtavaara mine. In the three and six months to end-August 2019 this regional exploration program gathered new information from geophysics, structural analysis, base of till sampling ("BoT") and diamond drilling leading to the Area 1 gold discovery 15km from the Pahtavaara mill (as announced on May 21, 2019). Initial results from the first four holes totalling 525m drilling at Area 1 identified three new occurrences of gold mineralisation that were announced by the company on May 21, 2019. On September 10, 2019 the company announced further drilling results and the commencement of a 15,000 metre regional diamond drilling programme aimed at following up on a number of targets, including in Area 1. Further fieldwork was undertaken over the summer at Pahtavaara and at Rupert's properties in Central Finland.

Financial Highlights

Rupert's net income totalled $1,001,534 for the three months ended August 31, 2019, with basic and diluted income per share of $0.01 for the same period. This compares with a net loss of $(1,169,927) with basic and diluted loss per share of $(0.01) for the three months ended May 31, 2018. No revenue was recorded in either period. During the three months ended August 31, 2019 the Company recorded a one-off, non-cash gain on debt conversion notes of $2,242,636 and which arose on the difference between the conversion price and fair market value of the convertible debt.
