Stuhini Exploration Ltd. Announces Closing of $2.30 Million Private Placement

Company President and CEO Dave O'Brien commented; "We would like to thank existing shareholders for their continued support while at the same time welcome all the new shareholders who participated in the offering. The completion of this financing puts the Company in a strong position to both continue it's aggressive exploration program at it's Ruby Creek Project and to potentially update the historic Adanac Molybdenum resource contained within the Ruby Creek tenures."

The proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares are intended to be used for exploration programs on the Company's Ruby Creek Property located in Northwest British Columbia, the Que Property located in Southcentral Yukon Territory, the South Thompson Nickle Project in Manitoba and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Common Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" which qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) ("Qualifying Expenditures") to fund exploration programs on Stuhini's Ruby Creek Project. The Company will renounce these expenses to the purchasers of Flow-Through Common Shares with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2021. The Flow-Through Common Shares and the Common Shares are subject to a hold period that expires on November 24, 2021. The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Mr. Eric Sprott through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation that is beneficially owned by him, acquired 500,000 Common Shares in the Offering for total consideration of $250,000. Prior to the closing of the Offering, Mr. Sprott beneficially owned or controlled 2,300,000 common shares of the Company. Subsequent to the Offering, Mr. Sprott beneficially owns and controls 2,800,000 common shares of the Company representing approximately 11.61% of the outstanding common shares of Stuhini.

Certain directors, officers and other insiders of the Company, including the participation of Mr. Sprott as described above, purchased or acquired direction and control over a total of 540,000 Common Shares and 292,000 Flow-Through Common Shares under the Offering. The placement to those persons constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 (the "Policy") and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") adopted in the Policy. The Company has relied on 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 involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

Finder's fees of 6% cash were paid to certain eligible finders as follows: $28,094.97 to Canaccord Genuity Corp. and $900.00 to Haywood Securities Inc..
