The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Sunshine Oilsands Ltd. (the "Corporation" or "Sunshine") (HKEX:2012) is pleased to announce the following:

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF HK$ 43,500,000 OF COMMON SHARES

(a) The Placement

On December 28, 2016 in Hong Kong (December 28, 2016 in Calgary), the Corporation entered into a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with Zhengwei International Investment And Management Co., Limited ("Zhengwei") under which Zhengwei agreed to subscribe for a total of 150,000,000 Class "A" Common Voting Shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") at a price of HK$ 0.29 per Common Share or approximately CDN$ 0.048 per Common Share at current exchange rates (the "Subscription Price"), which in the aggregate amounts to gross proceeds of HK$ 43,500,000 (approximately CDN$ 7,601,364.2 at current exchange rates) (the "Placement").

The aggregate number of Common Shares to be issued to Zhengwei (the "Subscriber") represent approximately 2.998% of the existing issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the date of this announcement and, immediately following the completion of the Placement (assuming there will be no other changes in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares between the date of this announcement and the completion of the Placement including, without limitation, pursuant to the Employee and Connected Subscription as defined below), approximately 2.911% of the then enlarged total issued and outstanding Common Shares.

(b) Subscription Price

The Subscription Price represents:

1. a discount of approximately 17.85% to the average closing price of approximately HK$ 0.353 per Common Share as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the last five trading days immediately prior to December 28, 2016 (being the last trading day immediately preceding the signing of the Subscription Agreement); and
2. a discount of approximately 15.94% to the closing price of HK$ 0.345 per Common Share as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on December 28, 2016.

The aggregate gross proceeds to be raised from the Placement will be HK$ 43,500,000 (approximately CDN$ 7,601,364.2 at current exchange rates).

The Subscription Price was determined with reference to the prevailing market price of the Common Shares and was negotiated on an arm's length basis between the Corporation and the Subscriber. The directors of the Corporation (the "Directors") consider that the terms of the Placement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and the Placement is in the interests of the Corporation and its shareholders as a whole.

(c) Conditions to Completion of the Placement

Completion of the Placement is subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of the following conditions:

1. the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Hong Kong Stock Exchange") approving the listing of the Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placement;
2. compliance of the Placement with the requirements under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (where applicable); and
3. the receipt of all other required regulatory approvals.

(d) Termination of the Subscription Agreement

In the event that (i) the Corporation suffers a material adverse change in the management, business, properties, financial condition, prospects, shareholders' equity or results of operation of the Corporation shall have occurred or been announced since the date of the Subscription Agreement; or (ii) any adverse change in the oil price and/or general market conditions and/or the share price of the Corporation takes place after the date of the Subscription Agreement, the Subscription Agreement may be terminated by the Subscriber by written notice, and in which case, the obligations of the Corporation and the Subscriber under the Subscription Agreement shall immediately and unconditionally cease and be null and void.

(e) Completion of the Placement

Completion of the Placement will take place on or before March 28, 2017 (or such other date as the Corporation may choose) (the "Closing Date").

The certificates representing the Common Shares subscribed for under the Placement will bear certain legends, as required under applicable Canadian securities laws, including a legend stating that unless permitted under applicable Canadian securities legislation, the holder of the Common Shares must not trade the Common Shares before the date that is four months and a day after the Closing Date.

Completion of the Placement is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. As the Placement may or may not proceed, shareholders and potential investors of the Corporation are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Corporation.

(f) General Mandate to Issue Common Shares

The Placing does not require the approval of the Corporation's shareholders as the Shares under the Placing will be allotted and issued under the general mandate, which was granted to the Board at the annual general meeting of the Corporation held on June 30, 2016 (Hong Kong time) / June 29, 2016 (Calgary time) (the "AGM") to issue up to 20% of its aggregate issued and outstanding share capital as at the date of the AGM until the next annual general meeting of the Corporation (the "General Mandate"). The amount of the General Mandate is 863,699,620 Shares. Details of the General Mandate are set out in the Corporation's circular dated May 31, 2016.

Zhengwei is not an existing shareholder of the Corporation. After the completion of the Placement (assuming there will be no other changes in the issued Common Shares between the date of this announcement and the completion of the placement) including, without limitation, pursuant to the Employee and Connected Subscription), Zhengwei will hold 2.911% of the then enlarged total issued and outstanding Common Shares.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Zhengwei, and its respective associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) and respective ultimate beneficial owners are independent of and not connected with the Corporation and its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules).

An application will be made by the Corporation to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Common Shares to be issued to the Subscriber pursuant to the Placement.

(h) Reasons for the Placement and Use of Proceeds from the Placement

The Directors consider that the Placement represents an opportunity to raise capital for the Corporation at an important time for the Corporation. The gross proceeds to be raised from the Placement will be HK$ 43,500,000 (approximately CDN$ 7,601,364.2 at current exchange rates). Based on the estimated expenses of approximately HK$ 870,000 (approximately CDN$ 152,027 at current exchange rates), the net proceeds to be raised from the Placement will be approximately HK$ 42,630,000 (approximately CDN$ 7,449,337 at current exchange rates). On this basis, the net price per Common Share under the Placement is approximately HK$0.28.
