THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, June 19, 2019 - Murchison Minerals Ltd. ("Murchison" or the "Company") (TSXV: MUR) is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated June 3, 2019, the Company has completed its non-brokered private placement of 3,260,000 flow-through common shares (the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.11 per FT Share for gross proceeds of $358,600 (the "Offering").

Proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration of the Company's Brabant-McKenzie project in Saskatchewan.

A portion of the FT Shares ($330,000) was sold on a charitable flow-through basis. The FT Shares qualify as a "flow through share" for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).   The FT Shares issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory four month hold period and completion of the Offering is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

The Offering constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101 €) as certain insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 260,000 FT Shares totaling $28,600. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the securities of the Company are listed on the TSXV and the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. A material change report was not filed more than 21 days prior to closing of the Offering as contemplated by the related party transaction requirements under MI 61-101 as the insider participation was only recently confirmed.
