Rugby Mining Announces Closing of CAD$500,000 Non-Brokered Private Placement

The Company took additional subscriptions over the February 19^th, 2021 announcement and will issue 5,150,000 units (the "Units") at a price of CAD$0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of CAD$515,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit consists of one (1) common share and one half (0.5) common share purchase warrant (a "Half Warrant"). Each full warrant (two (2) Half Warrants together) will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one (1) additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of one (1) year from the Closing Date.

Two directors participated in the Offering and will acquire, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of 1,250,000 Units. The participation by insiders in the Offering is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61- 101"). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities being issued nor the consideration being paid exceeds 25% of Rugby's market capitalization.

The Company paid CAD$6,250 as finder's fees in connection with a portion of the Offering.

All securities issuable pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four month hold period expiring from the date of TSX.V approval.

Proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund Rugby's exploration expenditures and general expenses.
