NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BC – April 11, 2019 – Goldsource Mines Inc. (“Goldsource” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of its brokered private placement offering announced on March 12, 2019, whereby the Company issued a total of 62,330,000 units of the Company (“Units”) at a price of $0.12 per Unit for gross proceeds of $7,479,600 (the “Offering”). Each Unit consisted of one common share of Goldsource (“Common Shares”) and one‑half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 until April 11, 2021. The completed Offering includes exercise in full of the agents’ 15% option to purchase additional Units at $0.12 per Unit.

The Offering was led by PI Financial Corp. and included Cormark Securities Inc. and Eight Capital Corp. as agents (collectively, the “Agents”). The Company paid a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and issued 3,739,800 compensation options (“Compensation Options”) to the Agents. Each Compensation Option is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.12 per share until April 11, 2021.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to drill-test extensions of the recent high‑grade Salbora discovery at its Eagle Mountain Gold Project in Guyana, complete an updated resource, continue its Pre-Feasibility Study inclusive of the Salbora discovery, and for general corporate purposes.

The participation of one insider in the Offering constituted a “related party transaction”, within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The Company has relied 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 the 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 interested party, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61‑101). Further details will be included in the material change report. The material change report will not be filed more than 21 days prior to closing of the insider’s subscription due to the timing of the accepted subscription and closing having occurred in less than 21 days.

The Common Shares and Warrants issued under the Offering and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Compensation Options are subject to a hold period that expires on August 12, 2019. The Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
