/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Dec. 23, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - X-Terra Resources Inc. (TSXV: XTT) (FRANKFURT: XTR) is pleased to announce that it has held a first closing of a non-brokered private placement at which it issued 1,000,000 Quebec "flow-through" common shares at a price of $0.125 per share and 400,833 units at a price of $0.12 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to X-Terra Resources of $173,100. Each of the 400,833 units is comprised of one federal "flow-through" common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles its holder to acquire one additional common share of X-Terra Resources at a price of $0.17 for a period of 18 months from the closing date.  X-Terra Resources intends to use the proceeds from the private placement for exploration on certain of its mining exploration properties in Québec and New Brunswick.

Additional closings of the private placement may be held until December 31, 2019, subject to a maximum of 4,166,666 additional units at a price of $0.12 per unit and a maximum of 3,200,000 additional Quebec "flow-through" common shares at a price of $0.125 per share, for total maximum gross proceeds of $900,000.

Michael Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of X-Terra states, "This top up financing will strengthen X-Terra's cash position as we move towards the inaugural drill program over the Northwest and Grog properties scheduled to begin in early January. It will also enable X-Terra to move forward with a more aggressive exploration campaign over its Québec properties, more specifically, its 100% owned Troilus East property located adjacent to Troilus Gold's property which hosts a new mineral resource estimate of 4.71 million indicated AuEq (gold equivalent) ounces and 1.76 million inferred AuEq ounces (see Troilus Gold's news release dated Nov. 12, 2019)".

In connection with the private placement, X-Terra Resources paid cash commissions to two securities dealers in an aggregate amount of $10,098. In addition, X-Terra granted finders' options to Gravitas Securities Inc. entitling it to acquire up to 32,067 additional common shares of X-Terra Resources at a price of $0.12 per share for a period of 18 months.

As a result of the first closing of the private placement, there are 55,595,053 common shares of X-Terra Resources issued and outstanding. Under applicable securities legislation, the securities issued in the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period, expiring on April 21, 2020.
