NEWS RELEASE
FORTUNE MINERALS CLOSES FLOW-THROUGH PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Proceeds of issue will be used to fund NICO Project eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED
STATES
LONDON, ONTARIO, Fortune Minerals Limited (TSX: FT) (OTCQB: FTMDF) (“Fortune” or the
“Company”) (www.fortuneminerals.com) is pleased to announce that it has closed a private
placement of common shares issued on a “flow-through” basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act
(Canada). A total of 7,500,000 new common shares were issued at a price of C$ 0.10 per share
providing the Company with gross proceeds of C$750,000. The funds received from this private
placement will be used to fund eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses on the Company’s wholly-
owned NICO cobalt-gold-bismuth-copper project (“NICO Project”) in the Northwest Territories.
Fortune’s NICO deposit, and its nearby Sue-Dianne copper-silver-gold satellite deposit, belong to the
Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (“IOCG“) class, among global analogues such as the Olympic Dam mine in
South Australia, the Salobo and Sossego mines in Carajas, Brazil and the Candelaria district deposits
in Chile. Two large, combined gravity, magnetic and magnetotelluric geophysical anomalies have
been identified on the NICO Project leases that are independent of the known deposit and are
indicative of unidentified high density, magnetic and conductive sources. Magnetotelluric surveys
measure changes in magnetic and resistivity response and are commonly used to outline IOCG
mineralization in other districts around the world. The proceeds from this issue will be used to better
define the NICO Project targets for possible drill testing and for potential resource expansion.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there
be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful. The securities will not be and have not been registered under the United States Securities
Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable

The disclosure of scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been approved by
Robin Goad, M.Sc., P.Geo., President and Chief Executive Officer of Fortune, who is a "Qualified Person" under
National Instrument 43-101.

This press release contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of
applicable securities legislation. This forward-looking information includes statements with respect to, among
other things, the Company’s plans to develop the NICO Project, the proposed use of proceeds from the private
placement referred to herein and the potential for the Sue-Dianne property to provide incremental mill feed to
the NICO Project. Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of management as well
as certain assumptions at the date the information is given (including, in respect of the forward-looking
information contained in this press release, assumptions regarding:, the Company’s ability to arrange the
necessary financing to continue operations and develop the NICO Project; the receipt of all necessary regulatory
approvals for the construction and operation of the NICO Project and the related hydrometallurgical refinery and
the timing thereof; growth in the demand for cobalt; the time required to construct the NICO Project; and the
economic environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the price of gold, cobalt and
other by-product metals, anticipated costs and the volumes of metals to be produced at the NICO Project).
However, such forward-looking information is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that
could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information.
These factors include the risks that the Company may not be able to finance and develop NICO on favourable
terms or at all, uncertainties with respect to the receipt or timing of required permits, approvals and agreements
for the development of the NICO Project, including the related hydrometallurgical refinery, the construction of the
NICO Project may take longer than anticipated, the Company may not be able to secure offtake agreements for
the metals to be produced at the NICO Project, the use of proceeds from the private placement may be different
from those currently anticipated, the Sue-Dianne property may not be developed to the point where it can
provide mill feed to the NICO Project, the inherent risks involved in the exploration and development of mineral
properties and in the mining industry in general, the market for rechargeable batteries and the use of stationary
storage cells may not grow to the extent anticipated, the future supply of cobalt may not be as limited as
anticipated, the risk of decreases in the market prices of cobalt and other metals to be produced by the NICO
Project, discrepancies between actual and estimated mineral resources or between actual and estimated
metallurgical recoveries, uncertainties associated with estimating mineral resources and reserves and the risk
that even if such resources prove accurate the risk that such resources may not be converted into mineral
reserves, once economic conditions are applied, the Company’s production of cobalt and other metals may be
less than anticipated and other operational and development risks, market risks and regulatory risks. Readers
are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking information because it is possible that predictions,
forecasts, projections and other forms of forward-looking information will not be achieved by the Company. The
forward-looking information contained herein is made as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no
responsibility to update or revise it to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
