Filo Mining Corp. Announces C$40 Million Financing

VANCOUVER, Aug. 12, 2019 - Filo Mining Corp. (TSX-V, Nasdaq First North: FIL) (“Issuer” or the “Company”) has announced today that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets (the “Underwriters”), under which the Underwriters have agreed to buy on bought deal basis 7,275,000 common shares (the “Common Shares”), at a price of C$2.75 per Common Share for gross proceeds of approximately C$20 million (the “Offering”). A Lundin Family related trust has agreed to purchase approximately C$5 million of the Offering.

Concurrently, a Lundin Family related trust has agreed to purchase on a private placement basis (the “Concurrent Private Placement”), an aggregate of approximately C$20 million of Common Shares on the same terms and conditions as the Offering.

The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable at the offering price for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any. The Offering is expected to close on or about August 30, 2019, or such other date as may be agreed by the Underwriters and the Company, and is subject to the Company receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Nasdaq First North, and applicable securities regulatory authorities.

The net proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement will be used for exploration and development of the Company's Filo del Sol project and for working capital and general corporate purposes, as well as repayment of amounts owing pursuant to outstanding debentures.

The Common Shares will be offered by way of a short form prospectus in each of the provinces of Canada, excluding Quebec, and may also be offered by way of private placement in the United States.

The securities offered have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The issuance of Common Shares to Zebra Holdings and Investments S.à.r.l and Lorito Holdings S.à.r.l, entities owned by the Lundin Family trust, will constitute a “related party transaction”, as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”) as such entities are insiders of the Company. The transactions will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any Common Shares issued to nor the consideration paid by such persons would exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
