Sojourn Ventures Options Golden Triangle Properties from Millrock Resources

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 14, 2017) - Sojourn Ventures Inc. (TSXV: SOJ) ("Sojourn") is pleased to announce that it has entered into option agreements dated June 9, 2017 with Millrock Resources Inc.("Millrock"), entitling Sojourn to earn a 100% interest in Millrock's Oweegee and Willoughby properties, each located in the "Golden Triangle" northeast of the town of Stewart, British Columbia.Concurrent with this transaction, Sojourn is also undertaking a private placement to raise $1,000,000 to apply to the exploration of the properties (the "Placement").

Sojourn also announces that it will be proceeding with a 3:1 share consolidation.All share numbers used in this news release give effect to the consolidation.

With this important initial acquisition of property interests, Sojourn is launching a "prospect generator" business model initially focused on securing exploration properties of exceptional merit in the highly-prospective Golden Triangle region of British Columbia. Sojourn aims to provide geological expertise and funding to efficiently build value in these properties, and use joint ventures to build resources through the more-expensive drilling stages.

The initial acquisitions announced today are an important first step in this plan, and in the Company's opinion represent some of the most prospective targets available in this highly prospective region.

Golden Triangle Focus

The Golden Triangle of northern British Columbia continues to be one of the key exploration areas within British Columbia and hosts several significant deposits including:Seabridge Gold's KSM Au-Cu porphyry deposit with total proven and probable reserves of 38.2 million ounces gold and 9.9 billion pounds copper; Barrick Gold's historic Eskay Creek Mine with production of 3 million ounces gold and 160 million ounces silver at an average grade of 48.4 g/t Au and 2,221 g/t Ag; and Pretium Resources' Brucejack epithermal gold deposit with proven and probable reserves of 6.9 million ounces gold.

Investors are cautioned that Sojourn Ventures Inc. has not verified the data from the KSM, Eskay or BruceJack deposits. Further, the presence of mineralization on these three properties is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the Sojourn Ventures Inc. properties.

Option Agreements

Willoughby

The Willoughby property lies 25 kilometres east northeast of Stewart and consists of three mineral tenures totaling approximately 1,032 hectares. The property is located in the Stikine terrane, lying within Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group volcaniclastics locally intruded by lower to middle Jurassic monzodiorites to granodiorites.

This property has a long exploration history including two phases of diamond drilling, centred on four distinct zones. Drilling highlights from the 74 surface holes totaling 8,180.8 metres and 30 underground holes totaling 2,383.2 metres include:

North Zone

• NZ89-06 - 20.5 metres grading 24.99 g/t Au and 184.22 g/t Ag
• NZ89-08 - 7.8 metres grading 1.58 g/t Au and 78.59 g/t Ag
• NZ94-15 - 11.7 metres grading 40.11 g/t Au and 109.71 g/t Ag
• NZ94-27 - 12.2 metres grading 10.94 g/t Au and 27.42 g/t Ag
• NZ95-36 - 2.9 metres grading 383 g/t Au and 213.6 g/t Ag
• NZ96-U2 - 3.5 metres grading 132.0 g/t Au and 2,671.2 g/t Ag
• NZ96-U8 - 1.7 metres grading 2.26 g/t Au and 211.5 g/t Ag

Main Zone

• MZ89-04 - 10.5 metres grading 7.56 g/t Au and 45.9 g/t Ag
• MZ89-02 - 13.5 metres grading 1.76 g/t Au and 3.74 g/t Ag
• MZ95-51 - 5.9 metres grading 16.32 g/t Au and 53.83 g/t Ag
• MZ95-53 - 13.0 metres grading 13.37 g/t Au and 63.43 g/t Ag

Willoughby Zone

• WZ89-11 - 25.5 metres grading 2.46 g/t Au and 10.39 g/t Ag

Edge Zone

• EZ89-13 - 7.5 metres grading 1.47 g/t Au and 1.12 g/t Ag

Fourteen of the surface holes totaling 1708.6 metres were drilled by Bond Gold Canada Inc. in 1989. Selected 1989 results were reported in the Millrock Resources Inc. 10-June-2016 News Release, while all 1989 results can be found in British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines Assessment Report 19474. The 1994 through 1996 drilling campaigns were completed by Camnor Resources Ltd.: 17 surface holes totaling 1753.9 metres in 1994; 27 surface holes totaling 3013.5 metres in 1995; and 31 surface holes totaling 3458.7 metres and 30 underground holes totaling 2383.2 metres in 1996. Selected 1994 and 1995 results were reported in the same Millrock Resources Inc. 10-June-2016 News Release. The complete 1994 results can be found in British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines Assessment Report 23674. The complete 1995 results can be found in British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines Assessment Report 24169. The 1996 results came from an unpublished annual report for Camnor Resources Ltd.

Mineralization consists of pods, lenses and branching bodies of semi-massive to massive pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and galena. Gold mineralization is associated with the pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena, bismuth-telluride and silver-telluride. Intense alteration halos consisting of sericitization, chloritization, silicification, pyritization and carbonatization envelope the mineralization.

Subsequent airborne EM surveys highlighted the known mineralization and located similar anomalies under glacial cover that is now receding. Notably, ice cover has been dramatically receding since the last major exploration efforts of the 1990s and, as with other projects in the Golden Triangle, there is the potential for the discovery of new and significant targets as a result of this trend.

Oweegee

The Oweegee property lies 80 kilometres northeast of Stewart and consists of 77 mineral tenures totaling approximately 31,238 hectares. The property is located in the Stikine terrane, lying within the Oweegee Dome of the lower Jurassic Hazelton Group Inlier within the middle Jurassic Bowser Lake group. On-going mapping programs by the British Columbia Geological Survey has zeroed in on the unconformable contact between the Triassic Stuhini Group and the Jurassic Hazelton Group as the key targeting feature for porphyry and related deposits within the Golden Triangle. The Oweegee property lies within this contact zone.

The property has a long exploration history including airborne geophysics, ground sampling and diamond drilling, with the ground surveys and shallow drilling focused on the two-kilometre long A Zone Deltaic Grid porphyry target.Drilling highlights from the 8 surface holes totaling 2,220.5 metres include:

• DDHDC07-03 - 138.67 metres grading 0.189 g/t Au and 0.074% Cu, including
  • 17.14 metres grading 0.468 g/t Au and 0.11% Cu and
  • 17.08 metres grading 0.140 g/t Au and 0.17% Cu
• DDHDC96-02- 80.1 metres grading 0.248 g/t Au and 941 ppm Cu and
  • 24.4 metres grading 0.262 g/t Au and 0.16% Cu

Five surface holes totaling 1195.7 metres were completed by Viceroy Resource Corporation in 1996. The complete 1996 results can be found in British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines Assessment Report 24867. The three surface holes totaling 1024.8 metres were completed in 2007 by Weekes Investment Group, a private corporation. The complete 2007 results can be found in British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines Assessment Report 30126.

Magnetic surveys indicate mineralization correlates with a large aeromagnetic low, a typical porphyry copper setting.

Several additional airborne geophysical anomalies largely untested to date have been located throughout the large property package.

Investors are cautioned that Sojourn has not verified the historic data from the either the Willoughby or Oweegee projects. The true widths of the Willoughby and Oweegee drill intersections are unknown at this time.

To exercise the options on the two properties, Sojourn must issue the following common shares of Sojourn to Millrock and incur the following expenditures on the two properties:

At the conclusion of the share payments and work commitments, Sojourn will earn a 100% interest subject to certain Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalties. Millrock is entitled to receive NSR royalties of either 1.5% or 2% in respect of the various claims comprising the properties.Certain of the claims have existing royalty obligations in addition to the royalty payable to Millrock.

Investor Rights Agreement

Concurrently with entering into the Option Agreements, Sojourn and Millrock entered into an Investor Rights Agreement which entitles Millrock to participate in future Sojourn Placements to maintain its percentage interest in Sojourn provided it holds 7.5% of Sojourn's issued and outstanding common shares.The Investor Rights Agreement also entitles Millrock to nominate one director to Sojourn's board of directors as long as it continues to hold at least a 7.5% interest in Sojourn.

Millrock has also granted Sojourn a one year right of first refusal over Millrock's Todd Property, located near the Willoughby and Oweegee Properties.

Private Placement

Sojourn is undertaking a non-brokered private placement of units at a price of $0.15 per unit to raise gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the "Placement"). Each unit will consist of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional share for a price of $0.25 per share for a period of two years from closing, Sojourn may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants if the closing price of its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is equal to or greater than $0.40 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days.

Sojourn intends to use the proceeds of the Placement for exploration work on the Willoughby and Oweegee properties, and for general administrative purposes. Sojourn may pay finder's fees to arm's length finders in connection with the Placement.

Shares sold pursuant to the Placement will be subject to a four month resale hold under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Effect of the Option Agreements and Placement

On the issuance of the Year 1 shares (1,800,000 shares) under the option agreements, and after the closing of the Placement (6,666,666 shares), Sojourn will have 13,489,182 shares issued and outstanding, and Millrock will hold 13.3%.of Sojourn's issued and outstanding shares. On the issuance of the Year 2 shares (2,340,000), Sojourn will have 15,829,182 shares issued and outstanding, assuming no other share issuances by Sojourn. Millrock will then hold 4,140,000 shares, which will represent approximately 25.2% of Sojourn's then outstanding shares. However, it is anticipated that prior to exercising the second year of the option, Sojourn will issue additional shares to finance ongoing work programs which will result in Millrock holding under 20% of Sojourn's common shares on the issuance of the Year 2 shares. The number of shares issued in such financings and the pricing has yet to be determined, and Sojourn's decision to proceed with Year 2 and Year 3 of the option and future financings to fund further exploration work on the properties will depend on the results of the Year 1 exploration programs.

Sojourn expects to close the transactions described in this news release on or about July 31, 2017, subject to TSXV approval. Sojourn's shares will remain halted until approval of the transactions by the TSXV.
