Stellar AfricaGold Opawica Sale Closed in Escrow

OPAWICA SALE CLOSED IN ESCROW

Further to the Company's June 28 and August 9, 2018 news releases, Stellar and Mosaic Minerals Inc. ("Mosaic") have closed the sale of the Opawica Gold Project in escrow. Final closing and release from escrow will follow shareholder approval at Stellar's October 31, 2018Annual General Meeting scheduled.

ABOUT THE OPAWICA SALE

As previously stated, Stellar's decision to focus exclusively in Guinea and in particular on its gold exploration and development at Balandougou dictated that Stellar divest of all non-core assets. To best monetize its remaining non-core asset Stellar agreed to sell Opawica to Mosaic for $360,000 to be paid by the issuance of 7,200,000 shares of Mosaic issued at a deemed price of $0.05 per share, plus a 2% Net Smelter Return royalty ("NSR") one-half of which may be purchased by Mosaic for $1,000,000. The $0.05 share price was based upon the issue price of the Concurrent Mosaic Financing (as defined below).

The 7,200,000 Mosaic shares purchase consideration represents a 100% recovery of Stellar's $360,000 of historical exploration expenditures, while the 2% NSR provides a potential long-term upside benefit for Stellar shareholders if a discovery is made.

The Opawica Transaction is being closed in two stages. Mosaic has confirmed that it has completed concurrent equity financing of over $200,000 at pricing equivalent to the purchase consideration shares ($0.05 per share) and the first stage closing into escrow is complete. The final closing is conditional upon shareholder approval at the October 31, 2018 Stellar Annual General Meeting and providing final documents to the TSX-V.

Mosaic is a privately held company currently 100% owned by Maurice Giroux and John Cumming, both directors of Stellar. After completion of the Opawica Transaction and the Mosaic Concurrent Financing, Maurice Giroux and John Cumming will be minority shareholders of Mosaic.

The Opawica Transaction constitutes a related-party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 as two directors of the Company currently control Mosaic. The Company relied upon exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and (b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a specified market and the fair market value of the Opawica Transaction does not exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

Risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted herein include, without limitation: the failure of Stellar to obtain TSX-V approval of the Opawica Transaction, the failure of Mosaic to complete the Mosaic Concurrent Financing, that the business prospects and opportunities of the Company will not proceed as anticipated; changes in the global prices for gold or certain other commodities (such as diesel, aluminum and electricity); changes in U.S. dollar and other currency exchange rates, interest rates or gold lease rates; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; the level of liquidity and capital resources; access to capital markets, financing and interest rates; mining tax regimes; ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; legislative, political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in which the Company carries on business; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment; employee relations; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of exploration and development; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; and the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business. Risks and unknowns inherent in all projects include the inaccuracy of estimated reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries, capital and operating costs of such projects, and the future prices for the relevant minerals.
