VANCOUVER, Oct. 25, 2021 - Stuhini Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: STU) (the "Company" or "Stuhini") is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced shares-for-debt settlement (the "Debt Settlement").

Under the Debt Settlement, the Company issued to Sabalan Consulting Ltd. ("Sabalan") 48,936 common shares of the Company (the "Debt Shares") at a deemed issue price of $0.47 per share to settle a $23,000 debt owing to Sabalan (the "Debt"). Sabalan is a wholly-owned corporation of Mr. Ehsan Salmabadi, Vice President Exploration of the Company.

The common shares issued under the Debt Settlement are subject to a hold period expiring February 25, 2022.

The Debt Settlement with Sabalan constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Debt Settlement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the Debt Shares, nor the Debt, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
