METALLIC MINERALS CORP. COMPLETES C$750,000 PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

Metallic Minerals Corp. has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $750,000 through the issuance of 1,666,666 units at a price of 45 cents per unit, which represents more than a 15-per-cent premium to the 10-day volume-weighted average price of the company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Net proceeds from the private placement will be used on qualifying exploration expenditures for purposes of the Canadian Income Tax Act, primarily at Metallic Minerals' Keno-Lighting project in the Keno Hill silver district of Yukon, Canada.

Greg Johnson, chief executive officer and chairman, stated: "We are pleased with the interest in this financing from our existing shareholders and from new investors. The closing of this private placement will enable us to expand our planned 2017 exploration program in the Keno Hill silver district this year. We expect to commence the field activities in April with geophysics and other groundwork to further refine our priority targets for drilling later this summer."

Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable at a price of 60 cents per common share for a period of 36 months from the closing date, subject to accelerated expiry. The common shares were issued on a flow-through basis, and the company understands that most of the common shares and associated warrants were acquired through Peartree Securities Inc. for donation purposes. All of the securities issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day expiring on July 24, 2017, under applicable Canadian securities laws.

If, any time after the closing date, the closing price of the common shares on the TSX-V trades at 85 per cent or greater above the issue price of the units for 10 consecutive trading days, the company may provide written notice of acceleration of the expiry date of the warrants. The expiry date for the warrants will thereafter be accelerated to the date a minimum of 30 days after the date of delivery of such notice, or such greater period as the company may determine.
