Eureka Provides Update on Kore Acquisition

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 6, 2018) - Eureka Resources, Inc. (TSXV: EUK) ("Eureka") is pleased to provide an update on its proposed three-cornered amalgamation (the "Transaction") with Kore Mining Ltd. ("Kore"), as previously announced on February 27, 2018.

Highlights of the update include:

• Kore shareholders to receive 3.28 common shares of Eureka (each, a "Eureka Share") following a 1 for 10 consolidation of the Eureka Shares (the "Consolidation"), resulting in the former shareholders of Kore holding 91.8% of the issued and outstanding Eureka Shares following the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing")
• Industry leaders, Harry Pokrandt (Sandspring, Macquarie, Lithium X) and Don McDonald (QuadraFNX, NovaGold, DeBeers), to be appointed to the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer (the "Board") in connection with the Closing

Eureka Consolidation and Transaction Exchange Ratio

At the annual general and special meeting of Eureka shareholders held on March 22, 2018, the shareholders of Eureka authorized the Eureka board of directors to proceed with the Consolidation. It is expected that the Consolidation will be completed immediately prior to the Closing, at which time there are expected to be 5,474,740 Eureka Shares outstanding, after giving effect to the Consolidation and the Debt Settlement (as defined below).

As at the date of this news release, there are 18,707,220 Kore common shares (each, a "Kore Share") outstanding. Eureka has agreed to issue 3.28 post-Consolidation Eureka Shares in exchange for each Kore Share (the "Exchange Ratio"), resulting in the shareholders of Kore being issued a total of 61,290,384 Eureka Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis). Immediately following the Closing, the former Kore shareholders shall hold no less than 91.8% of the total number of issued and outstanding Eureka Shares, prior to giving effect to the concurrent financing of Eureka subscription receipts to be undertaken in connection with the Transaction, as further described in Eureka's news release dated February 27, 2018.

Director Appointments

It is expected that, in connection with the Closing, all of the current directors and officers of Eureka will resign. The Board is expected to consist of James W. Hynes, Adrian Rothwell, Brendan Cahill, Robert J. ("Don") MacDonald, and Harry Pokrandt.

Eureka Debt Settlement

Eureka is also pleased to announce that it has entered into debt settlement agreements with two arm's length and seven related party creditors (being Michael Sweatman, Brent Petterson, Christina Boddy, Warren Stanyer, John Kerr, Kristian Whitehead and Gary Vivian), pursuant to which Eureka will issue the creditors an aggregate of 4,285,000 Eureka Shares (on a pre-Consolidation basis) at a deemed price of $0.05 per Eureka Share in satisfaction of aggregate indebtedness of $214,250 (the "Debt Settlement").

As noted above, seven of the creditors, being MDS Management Ltd. (a company controlled by Michael Sweatman) MBP Management Ltd. (a company controlled by Brent Petterson), Rhodanthe Corporate Services (a Company controlled by Christina Boddy), Warren Stanyer, John Kerr, Kristian Whitehead and Gary Vivian, are each considered to be a "related party" of Eureka within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and the issuance of Eureka Shares to them in connection with the Debt Settlement will be a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. However, the Debt Settlement will be exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the Eureka Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the Eureka Shares issued to each related party will not exceed 25% of Eureka's market capitalization.

Completion of the Debt Settlement, which is expected to occur prior to the Consolidation and the Closing, is subject to the approval of the TSXV. Eureka Shares issued in connection with the Debt Settlement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the completion thereof.

Transaction Update

The Transaction will be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, without court approval, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), pursuant to which, through the amalgamation of a newly incorporated British Columbia subsidiary of Eureka and Kore, Eureka will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Kore Shares in exchange for the issuance of Eureka Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) and Kore will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eureka.

Following the Closing, the Resulting Issuer will continue on with the business of Kore and remain a Tier 2 mining issuer on the TSXV, with Kore as its operating subsidiary. The Resulting Issuer is anticipated to hold all existing assets of Eureka and Kore as at the Closing. It is expected that, in connection with the Closing, Eureka will change its name to "Kore Mining Ltd.", or such other name as agreed by the parties, with a corresponding change of the trading symbol for the Eureka Shares on the TSXV.

Certain Eureka Shares to be issued to Kore shareholders in connection with the Transaction will be subject to escrow under the policies of the TSXV.

The Transaction remains subject to a number of terms and conditions, including, among other things:

• the completion of the Consolidation;
• Eureka and Kore obtaining all necessary consents, orders and regulatory approvals, including the conditional approval of the TSXV;
• completion of the concurrent financing for minimum gross proceeds of $2,000,000;
• there being no material change occurring with respect to the business of Eureka or Kore;
• the satisfaction of obligations under the amalgamation agreement relating to each of the parties;
• the delivery by each of the parties of standard closing documents, including legal opinions;

About Kore

Kore is a development stage company that offers exposure to precious metals exploration and development in North America, with a corporate strategy focused on the identification and acquisition of attractive development and advanced exploration stage projects.

Kore, indirectly through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns 100% interests in the Imperial and Long Valley gold development projects, located in California, USA (together, the "Projects"). Combined, most recent historical estimates of resources specify a total of 2,090,200 measured and indicated and 1,869,500 inferred gold ounces. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current resources and Kore is not treating the historical estimates as current resources. Significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person before the historical estimates at the Projects can be classified as current resources. Kore has no other material financial assets or liabilities.

Each of the Projects has the potential to host near-surface, open pit, heap leachable gold deposits. The Projects combine low technical risk, high advancement potential and a low initial cost.

The Imperial Project has a historical feasibility study and environmental impact study published in 1996 by Glamis Gold. A historical preliminary economic assessment was prepared in 2012¹, which stated a pre-tax net present value ("NPV") of US$215 million (US$1,200/oz gold price) while projecting average production of 120,000 ounces of gold per year over a mine life of 10 years. Long Valley had a historical preliminary economic assessment performed in 2008, which projected an internal pre-tax NPV of US$102 million (US$800/oz gold price) on oxide ounces of gold only (approximately 535,400 ounces of gold).

The historical mineral resources in this news release were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.

Imperial Mineral Historical Resource Estimation Parameters: a) Grade estimation is based on assay samples composited to 20ft intervals. Grade capping thresholds were determined following a detailed statistical analysis of the data for the entire mineralized domains varied from 0.02 to 0.2 ounces per ton (opt) gold (Au). b) Resource model grade blocks were estimated using Gemcom GEMSTM modeling software based on a traditional wireframe interpretation constructed from a sectional interpretation of drilling data. c) The database for the Imperial model consisted of 349 RC holes totalling 190,134 feet of drilling. A total of 36,361 analyses were considered for use in the resource estimate. d) The modelled gold mineralized zone was subdivided into three domains displaying different strike or dip directions with a total length of 3,200 ft, width up to 800ft and average thickness of 85ft in the East area and 1,200ft in length, 1,000ft in width and average thickness of 90ft to 120ft in the West area, dipping from 5 to 35 degrees e) A bulk density value of 0.077 ton per cubic foot was used and derived from 9 core holes consisting of 32 samples collected in a 1994 and 1995 drilling program. f) Mineral resources were reported within an optimized pit shell using a gold price of US$1,400/oz with a process recovery of 80%. g) Process costs used were US$1.50/ton and G&A was US$0.40/ton. Open pit mining costs were US$1.20/ton and sustaining capex was US$0.50/ton with open pit slopes of 45 degrees.

Long Valley Historical Mineral Resource Estimation Parameters: a) Grade estimation is based on assay samples composited to 10ft intervals. Grade capping thresholds were determined following a detailed statistical analysis of the data for the entire mineralized domains and varied from 0.029 to 0.452 ounces per ton (opt) gold (Au). Capped Au grade in the MDA model was 0.25opt. b) Resource model grade blocks were estimated using Surpac® modeling software based on a traditional wireframe interpretation constructed from a sectional interpretation of drilling data. c) The database for the Long Valley model consisted of 896 holes, including 20 core holes, totalling 268,275 feet of drilling. A total of 47,792 analyses were considered for use in the resource estimate. d) The modelled gold mineralized zone is contained within the Hilton Creek South and Southeast zones with a total length of 7,748ft and widths ranging from 500ft to 1,500ft in a generally flat lying tabular body from 50 to 200ft thickness e) A bulk density value of 0.065 ton per cubic foot was used and derived from 7 core holes consisting of 12 samples collected by Royal Gold, 10 core holes consisting of 93 samples collected by Amax and 10 samples by MDA. f) Mineral resources were reported within an optimized pit shell using a gold price of US$550/oz with a process recovery of 79% less than 150ft from surface and 39% between 150ft and 200ft. g) Process costs used were US$1.96/ton and G&A was US$0.71/ton. Open pit mining costs were US$1.20/ton with open pit slopes of 45 degrees.

There can be no assurance that any of the historical resources, in whole or in part, will ever become economically viable.
³ Mineral Resources are not mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral Resource will be converted into mineral Reserves. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
