17.04.2020  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, April 17, 2020 - SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSX: SIL) (NYSE American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its non-brokered private placement of common shares of the Company (the "Offering") which was originally announced on April 13, 2020 for C$75 million. The Company issued a total of 13,465,001 common shares at a price of C$7.50 per common share for gross proceeds of C$100,987,507.50, representing an over-subscription of approximately C$26 million. The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the Offering for continued exploration and development of the Company's Las Chispas Project located in Sonora, Mexico, and for general working capital and administrative purposes.

N. Eric Fier, CEO of SilverCrest, commented, "We appreciate all the support we have received from investors in this non-brokered financing in challenging market conditions. We will strive to be good stewards of this capital with an updated bank balance of C$207 million or approximately 20% of our current market capitalization. With the close of this financing, we believe we are fully financed for the anticipated capital requirements to further develop and construct the high-grade silver-gold Las Chispas Project, putting us in a unique position to weather the current market instability and rapidly advance construction once it is safe for us to do so."

Resale of the common shares of the Company distributed under the Offering are subject to a hold period in Canada until August 18, 2020. The Company paid finders' fees of 3% in cash totaling C$911,175 on subscriptions from certain subscribers introduced by brokers to the Company.

("SSR Mining") dated November 28, 2018 (see news release dated November 29, 2018), SSR Mining has a right to maintain its pro rata ownership interest of up to 9.9% of the outstanding shares of SilverCrest. SSR Mining has until April 20, 2020 to exercise that right. Should SSR Mining exercise that right, the Company would issue up to an additional 3,597,291 common shares for proceeds of up to C$26,979,682.50.

The common shares of the Company mentioned herein have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an exemption from registration.
