Toronto, Canada – July 14, 2020 – Kerr Mines Inc. (TSX: KER, OTC: KERMF), (“Kerr” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it amended the terms of its previously announced offering of units of the Company. Under the amended terms of the Offering (as defined below), Haywood Securities Inc. (the “Underwriter”), has agreed to buy, on a bought deal basis, 35,720,000 units of the Company (the “Units”), at a price of C$0.14 per Unit (the “Offering Price”) for gross proceeds of $5,000,800 (the “Offering”). Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$0.22 for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date (as defined below).

The Units will be offered by way of a short form prospectus in each of the provinces of Canada, excluding Quebec.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering to further advance the Company’s high grade Copperstone gold project with a targeted drilling program for purposes of resource and reserve expansion while also testing further resource upside within its 50 square kilometre land position.  Additionally, the proceeds will allow the Company to further advance detailed engineering and project optimization for purposes of the re-start of the Copperstone gold project and for general corporate purposes.
