TMAC Resources Inc.

In respect of the Public Offering, the Company has filed today a preliminary short-form prospectus with regulatory authorities in all provinces and territories of Canada, other than Qu?(C)bec, relating to the Public Offering. The Public Offering will be conducted through a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets.

Under the Public Offering, the Company is expected to issue up to 2,907,360 common shares ("Common Shares") at a price of C$7.00 per Common Share (the "Offering Price"). The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable at the Offering Price for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Public Offering, to purchase up to an additional 6% of the Public Offering to cover over-allotments, if any (the "Over-Allotment Option"). The Public Offering is expected to close on or about November 9, 2017 and is subject to TMAC receiving all necessary regulatory approvals.

RCF and Newmont will each have the right to increase the size of their subscription in the Private Placement by the same proportion as the amount of the Over-Allotment Option that is exercised by the Underwriters.

The net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement will be used for the continued ramp up of the processing plant, continued advancement of the Hope Bay belt and for general corporate purposes.

The Common Shares will be offered by way of a short form prospectus in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Qu?(C)bec, and may also be offered by way of private placement in the United States.
