Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire – October 1, 2020 - CANSTAR RESOURCES INC. (TSXV:ROX) (“Canstar Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche (the “Second Tranche”) of the non-brokered private placement announced on September 2, 2020 (the “Offering”).

The Second Tranche consisted of the sale of 9,523,810 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.1575 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000. Each unit is composed of one (1) common share (“Share”) in the capital of the company and one (1) Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) at an exercise price of $0.21 per Warrant for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

The first tranche of the Offering, which closed on September 15, 200, consisted of the sale of 4,761,920 units (each a “Part & Parcel Unit”) at a price of $0.105 per Part & Parcel Unit for gross proceeds of $500,001.60. Each Part & Parcel Unit was composed of one (1) Share and one (1) Warrant.

Frances Kwong, Dustin Small, and Christian Kargl-Simard, directors and/or officers of an insider of the Company acquired an aggregate of 385,700 Units in the Second Tranche of the Offering for aggregate proceeds of approximately $60,747.75, which participation constituted a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Part & Parcel Units acquired by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Part & Parcel Units paid by such insiders, exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

In connection with the closing of the Second Tranche, the Company paid finder fees to eligible finders of an aggregate of $14,175.00 and 90,000 warrants to purchase Units at a price of $0.1575 per Unit.
