Vancouver, August 14, 2020 - Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (CSE: SXTY) (FSE: 2F4) (the "Company" or "Sixty North")

Closings of Non-Brokered Private Placements

Further to the Company's press releases on June 30, July 7 and August 3, 2020, Sixty North is pleased to announce that it has closed the balance of the non-brokered private placement of 14,020,000 units (the "First Units") at $0.05 per First Unit to raise additional gross proceeds of $701,000 (the "First Offering"). Each First Unit consisted of one (1) common share (a "Share"), and one (1) non-transferable share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase one (1) additional Share at an exercise price of $0.075 per Share until August 13, 2022, subject to accelerated exercise provisions if the closing price of the Shares is greater than $0.15 per Share for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive trading days (the "First Warrants"). Tri View Capital Ltd., Mackie Research Capital Corporation, PI Financial Corp. and Integral Wealth Securities Limited acted as finders for the final closing of the First Offering, and were paid a cash commission of 8.0%, and issued compensation warrants on the same terms as the First Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,139,600 Shares. The securities for the final closing of the First Offering will bear legends restricting resale until December 14, 2020.

Sixty North has also closed the second non-brokered private placement of another 10,000,000 units (the "Second Units") at $0.05 per Second Unit, with a lead order from Palisades Goldcorp Ltd., to raise gross proceeds of $500,000 (the "Second Offering"). Each Second Unit consisted of one (1) Share, and one (1) non-transferable share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase one (1) additional Share at an exercise price of $0.075 per Share until August 11, 2023 (the "Second Warrants"). M Partners Inc. acted as a finder for the Second Offering, and was paid a cash commission of 8.0% and issued compensation warrants on the same terms as the Second Warrants to purchase up to 800,000 Shares. The securities for the closing of the Second Offering will bear legends restricting resale until December 12, 2020.

The net proceeds of the offerings will be used for further exploration and development of the Mon Gold Property, NWT, and the Company's general working capital requirements. The Company intends to obtain commitments for fuel, explosives, winter road construction and equipment haul, which would enable mining to commence within 12 months.

The high-resolution geophysics survey completed last year identified over seven high-priority anomalies, one of which was trenched and found to be a silver and gold-rich base-metal massive sulphide. Larger and stronger geophysical anomalies occur within these volcanic rocks and are untested and the Company intends to conduct some advance modeling to determine the best drill targets. Volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits have provided the majority of silver and a significant contribution of gold produced in Canada. For further information on Sixty North's VMS potential, please refer to the Company's news releases dated Nov. 6, 2018, April 2, 2019, Sept. 27, 2019, and Oct. 17, 2019.

Debt Settlements

Sixty North has also arranged debt settlements with certain directors and officers of the Company to settle $105,000 in indebtedness for accrued management and consulting fees from the period from September 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020, in exchange for the issuance of a total of 1,750,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.06 per share. The shares will be subject to resale restrictions for a period of 4 months and a day from their date of issuance.
