Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2020) - BMEX Gold Inc. (TSXV: BMEX) (FSE: 8M0) ("BMEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its press release of October 7, 2020, it has closed the second and final tranche of its private placement through the issuance of an aggregate of 6,666,666 flow-through units (a "FT Unit") of the Company at a price of $0.5325 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of $3,550,000 (the "Offering"). Pursuant to the first and second tranche of the Offering, the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $6,703,000. The FT Units issued in connection with the second tranche of the Offering were issued and sold pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement dated October 6, 2020, among the Company and StephenAvenue Securities Inc. (the "Agent"), as sole agent and sole bookrunner.

Amrik Virk, President and CEO of BMEX Gold commented, "With the closing of our financing we have added long term supportive shareholders and we are very well capitalized to move froward with an aggressive exploration program on the King Tut and the Dunlop Bay properties. In addition, we are getting active in our marketing program to create awareness of the Company. I look forward to updating our shareholders on our progress."

Each FT Unit consists of one common share (a "Common Share") of the Company and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.50 for a period of eighteen (18) months from the closing date of the Offering.

In connection with the closing of the second tranche of the Offering, the Agent received a cash commission of $248,500 and an aggregate of 466,667 broker warrants (a "Broker Warrant"). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.30 for a period of eighteen (18) months from the closing date of the Offering.

All securities issued in connection with the second tranche of the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period, expiring February 24, 2021. The gross proceeds from the second tranche of the Offering will be used by the Company to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's King Tut and Dunlop Bay projects located in Quebec, Canada. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Units effective December 31, 2020.

A portion of the Offering constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as a member of management and a member of the Board of Directors has each subscribed for 100,000 Units pursuant to the Offering. Such related party transactions are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to the related parties nor the consideration being paid by the related parties exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The participants in the Offering and the extent of such participation were not finalized until shortly prior to the completion of the Offering. Accordingly, it was not possible to publicly disclose details of the nature and extent of related party participation in the Offering pursuant to a material change report filed at least 21 days prior to the completion of the Offering.

In addition, an Officer of BMEX Gold Inc. has been granted 50,000 options, exercisable at $0.71 for 5 years.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

The Offering remains subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
