Source Exploration Corp. Announces Consolidation of Common Shares

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sep 6, 2016) - SOURCE EXPLORATION CORP. (the "Company" or "Source") (TSX VENTURE:SOP) wishes to announce that it intends to proceed with a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for every ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). The Consolidation was previously approved by the shareholders of the Company at an annual and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on August 15, 2016, and has been approved by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

Currently, a total of 87,643,734 Common Shares are issued and outstanding. Accordingly, if the Consolidation is implemented, a total of approximately 8,764,373 post-Consolidation Common Shares would be issued and outstanding, assuming there are no other changes in the issued capital of the Company. Any resulting fractional Common Share that is held by a holder of Common Shares will be cancelled, and the aggregate number of Common Shares held by such holder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares. The exercise price and the number of Common Shares issuable under the Company's outstanding options will also be proportionately adjusted upon Consolidation.

A letter of transmittal will be sent to registered shareholders providing instructions to surrender the certificates evidencing their Common Shares in exchange for replacement certificates representing the number of Common Shares to which they are entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate representing Common Shares prior to Consolidation will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of Common Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.

The Board of Directors believes that the proposed Consolidation will better position the Company to access the capital markets should further funds be required.

There is no name change in conjunction with the Consolidation, and the Company's trading symbol on the Exchange will remain the same.

Source expects its post-Consolidation Common Shares to commence trading on the Exchange at the open of markets on September 9, 2016.
