NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Vancouver, British Columbia – Lumina Gold Corp. (TSXV: LUM) (OTC: LMGDF) (the “Company” or “Lumina”) is pleased to announce that it has filed and received a receipt for a preliminary short form prospectus in connection with a proposed offering of common shares (“Shares“) to raise up to approximately C$9.5 million (the “Offering“) at a price of C$0.56 per Share. The Offering will be conducted on a commercially reasonable efforts agency basis and is led by Haywood Securities Inc., on behalf of a syndicate of agents.

In addition, the Company intends to complete a concurrent non-brokered private placement of up to approximately C$6.5 million worth of Shares (the “Private Placement“), on the same terms as the Offering with certain investors.

The net proceeds from the Offering and the Private Placement will be used to fund infill and step-out, geotechnical, hydrology and metallurgical drilling; environmental, permitting and social programs; updating the resource estimate for the Company’s Cangrejos Gold-Copper project; and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Closing of the Offering and the Private Placement is expected to occur on or about November 27, 2018 (the “Closing Date“) and is subject to certain customary conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Shares issuable under the Offering will be offered by way of a short form prospectus filed in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions, and elsewhere on a private placement basis. The Shares purchased pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months plus one day from the closing of the Private Placement.

The securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“) or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Certain directors, officers and other insiders of Lumina may acquire securities under the Offering and Private Placement. Any such participation would be considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25% of Lumina’s market capitalization.
