Pure Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PGM) ("Pure Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (together the "Underwriters"), whereby the Underwriters will purchase for their own account or arrange for substituted purchasers to purchase on a bought-deal private placement basis 16,000,000 flow-through common shares (the "Flow-Through Shares") from Pure Gold at a price of C$0.75 per Flow-Through Share for aggregate gross proceeds to Pure Gold of C$12,000,000 (the "Offering").

The Underwriters shall also have the option (the "Underwriters' Option") to purchase from Pure Gold up to an additional 10% of the number of Flow-Through Shares sold pursuant to the Offering. The Offering will take place by way of a private placement to qualified investors in such provinces of Canada as the Underwriters may designate, and otherwise in those jurisdictions where the Offering can lawfully be made. The securities to be issued under the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day from closing.

The proceeds raised from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used by the Company for surface exploration financing in the Province of Ontario that will qualify as "Canadian exploration expenses" and "flow-through mining expenditures" for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and as "eligible Ontario exploration expenditures" within the meaning of the Taxation Act, 2007 (Ontario).

It is expected that the closing of the Offering will occur on or about February 22, 2017 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In consideration for their services, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including any proceeds realized on exercise of the Underwriters' Option.
