/THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TSX VENTURE: GBE

VANCOUVER, June 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Goldbelt Empires Limited (TSX-V: GBE) (the "Company" or "Goldbelt Empires") is pleased to announce that the Company intends to complete a brokered private placement of post-Consolidation (as defined herein) ordinary shares of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of $0.46 per Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of up to $5,500,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Company intends on using the proceeds from the Private Placement to fund acquisitions by the Company and for general corporate purposes.

Goldbelt Empires Limited (CNW Group/Goldbelt Empires Limited)

In addition, the Agent (as defined below) has been granted the option to sell up to an additional 1,793,478 Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price, for additional gross proceeds of approximately $825,000, exercisable in whole or in part at any time prior to the closing of the Private Placement.

The Private Placement will be conducted on a best efforts agency basis by Gravitas Securities Inc. (the "Agent").  In consideration for the services provided in connection with the Private Placement, the Agent will receive a cash fee of 8% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement and Ordinary Share purchase warrants ("Broker Warrants") equal to 8% of the number of Ordinary Shares issued under the Private Placement. Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Ordinary Share at the Issue Price for a period of 36 months from the date such Broker Warrants were issued.  The Company will also pay the Agent a corporate finance fee equal to that number of Ordinary Shares which is equal to 5% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued under the Private Placement.

Among other items, the Company is seeking approval from its shareholders at its general meeting scheduled for June 26, 2018 to consolidate its ordinary shares on a 6.5 to 1 basis (the "Consolidation") and to delist (the "Delisting") its ordinary shares from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V").  It is anticipated that the Private Placement will be completed after the Company's shareholders have approved the Consolidation and the Delisting and that the ordinary shares issuable pursuant to the Private Placement will not be listed on the TSX-V. Reference is also made to the press release of the Company dated April 17, 2018 announcing the binding letter agreement between the Company and Integrated Compliance Solutions, LLC.

The closing of the Private Placement is subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals. The ordinary shares will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period, and such other restrictions as may be required by applicable securities laws.
