FALCO ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF $36.5 MILLION BOUGHT DEAL FINANCING

Falco Resources Ltd. has closed its previously announced bought deal prospectus offering of 24,183,350 units at a price of $1.07 per unit and 8,260,475 flow-through common shares at a price of $1.28 per flow-through share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $36.5-million, including 3,154,350 units and 447,975 flow-through shares issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of the overallotment option.

The offering was conducted by a syndicate of underwriters led by Haywood Securities Inc., and including BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Desjardins Securities Inc., Beacon Securities Ltd. and M Partners Inc. The net proceeds of the offering will be used for the continued exploration and development of the Horne 5 project, for dewatering and rehabilitation of the Quemont 2 shaft, preconstruction surface installation, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The proceeds received by the company from the sale of the flow-through shares will be used by the company to incur sufficient Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) on the Horne 5 project, on or before Dec. 31, 2017, so as to enable the company to renounce, effective on or before Dec. 31, 2016, in favour of each purchaser of flow-through shares, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for the flow-through shares paid by such purchaser.

Each unit entitles the holder to acquire, for no additional consideration, one common share in the capital of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the company for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the offering at an exercise price of $1.45 per warrant share.

The expiry date of the warrants may be accelerated by the company at any time following the six-month anniversary of the closing of the offering and prior to the expiry date of the warrants if the volume-weighted average trading price of the company's common shares is greater than $1.75 for any 20 consecutive trading days by issuing a press release announcing the reduced warrant term whereupon the warrants will expire on the 20th calendar day after the date of such press release.

The units and flow-through shares were offered by way of short form prospectus in all of the provinces of Canada and in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to certain accredited investors pursuant to an exemption under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. Copies of the final short form prospectus and documents incorporated therein may be obtained on request from the secretary of the company by sending a written request to 1100 avenue des Canadiens-de-Montreal, Suite 300, Montreal, Que., Canada, H3B 2S2, telephone 514-905-3162, and are available electronically under Falco's issuer profile on SEDAR.

Certain officers and directors of Falco and Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd., an insider of Falco, have participated in the offering and were issued 661,000 flow-through shares. Osisko also participated in the offering and was issued 2,343,750 flow-through shares. Such participation in the offering constitute related party transactions, as defined in Regulation 61-101 respecting protection of minority securityholders in special transactions. The offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Regulation 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to insiders nor the consideration for such securities by insiders exceeds 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. The company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to closing of the offering as the participation of insiders of the company in the offering had not been confirmed at that time.

Finally, the company is expected to close the first tranche of the concurrent private placement previously announced on Nov. 2, 2016, in the next few weeks.
