Ascot Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AOT) is pleased to announce that further to the Company's
press release of June 8, 2016, subject to regulatory approval, it will undertake a non-brokered private placement offering (the
"Offering") of a maximum of 3.2 million units (the "Units") at a price of $1.25 per Unit for
maximum gross proceeds of up to $4.0 million (the "Maximum Offering"), and a minimum of 1.6 million Units for
minimum gross proceeds of $2.0 million. Each Unit will consist of one flow through common share and one half of one
non-transferable, common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will be exercisable for an additional common share for a
period of eighteen months from the closing of the Offering at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. The securities issued
pursuant to the Offering will be subject to statutory hold periods expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance of
such securities, and such other restrictions as are required by applicable securities laws.
In connection with the Offering, the Company will pay, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, a cash fee of 7.0% of the
gross proceeds raised by finders and issue non-transferable warrants ("Finder's Warrants") equal to 7.0% of the
Units sold pursuant to the efforts of finders. The Finder's Warrants will be exercisable at $1.25 per Finder's Warrant into
common shares of the Company for a period of eighteen months from the closing of the Offering.
A portion, or all of, the Offering may be completed pursuant to BC Instrument 45-534 - Exemption from prospectus
requirement for certain trades to existing security holders ("BCI 45-534") and in accordance with the
provisions of various corresponding blanket orders and rules of other Canadian jurisdictions that have adopted the same or a
similar exemption from prospectus requirement (collectively with BCI 45-534, the "Existing Security Holder
Exemption"). Subject to applicable securities laws, the Company will permit each person or company who holds common
shares as of June 7, 2016 (the "Record Date") to subscribe for the Units that will be distributed pursuant to
the Offering, provided that the Existing Security Holder Exemption is available to such purchaser. In addition to conducting the
Offering pursuant to the Existing Security Holder Exemption, the Company will also accept subscriptions for Units where other
prospectus exemptions are available.
Subject to certain limitations discussed below, the Offering is open to all existing shareholders of the Company until Monday,
June 20, 2016. Any existing shareholders of the Company interested in participating in the Offering should contact the Company at
Ascot Resources Ltd., #202, 15388-24th Avenue, Surrey, BC, V4A 2J2, Canada, Attention: Robert A. Evans, Tel: (604) 379-1170,
email: bobevans55@gmail.com, no later than Monday, June 20, 2016 so that
subscription materials can be provided for completion and return to the Company no later than Monday, June 27, 2015.
Subscribers purchasing Units under the Existing Security Holder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet
certain requirements of the Existing Security Holder Exemption, including that they were, on or before the Record Date, a
shareholder of the Company (and still are a shareholder of the Company). The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the
Existing Security Holder Exemption cannot exceed CDN$15,000 unless that subscriber has obtained advice regarding the suitability
of the investment and, if the subscriber is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, such advice is obtained from a person that is
registered as an investment dealer in the subscriber's jurisdiction. Unless the Company determines to increase the gross proceeds
of the Offering and receives TSX Venture Exchange approval for such increase, if subscriptions received for the Offering exceed
the Maximum Offering, the Units, up to the Maximum Offering, will be allocated pro rata amongst all subscribers that qualify
under the Existing Security Holder Exemption in accordance with such subscriber's percentage holdings in the Company's issued and
outstanding common shares.
The proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploring the Company's Premier property and will constitute Canadian
Exploration Expenses. Completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of
all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company does not expect to provide any offering materials to subscribers in connection with the Offering, and there is no
material fact or material change about the Company that has not been generally disclosed. For more information concerning the
Company, please refer to the Company's profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
