TMAC Resources Inc.

(the "Lenders”) in July 2015 (the "Debt Facility”). The first draw of US$50 million was completed February 10, 2016, the second draw of US$35 million was completed July 7, 2016 and the third draw of US$15 million was completed September 26, 2016.

Ron Gagel, TMAC’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "This final draw under the Debt Facility provides TMAC with insurance as we execute on our Path to Production, which continues essentially on budget and on schedule with final piping and electrical assembly of the processing plant nearing completion and the commissioning of certain components having started. We’d like to thank our Lenders for their support and confidence in the Hope Bay project and the TMAC team. Cash on hand, together with today’s proceeds from the Debt Facility, is expected to enable us to achieve commercial production in the first quarter of 2017 with what is expected to be a comfortable financial cushion.”
