Inventus Mining Announces Private Placement

Not for Distribution to United States Wire Services or Dissemination in The United States

TORONTO, ONTARIO (Oct 15, 2018) - Inventus Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IVS) (“Inventus” or the “Company”)

today announces a private placement financing comprising the sale of 5,000,000 units (“Units”), to be sold at $0.15

per Unit for gross proceeds of $750,000 (the “Offering”). Each Unit will consist of one common share (“Common

Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each common share purchase Warrant will entitle the

holder to acquire one Common Share for $0.25 for a period of two years after the closing of the Offering. All securities

issued in conjunction with the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day after closing.

Proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the Pardo Project and general corporate purposes.

The Offering of the Units is subject to the receipt of all required corporate and regulatory approvals including the

approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

A portion of the Offering, excluding Units purchased by insiders of the Company, will be brokered by Pollitt & Co. Inc.

and Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management (collectively the “Brokers”). Inventus has agreed to pay the Brokers a

6% cash commission, and 6% broker warrants on the portion of the Offering raised by the Brokers. Each broker

warrant will be exercisable into a Unit at $0.15 per Unit for a period of one year.

Related Party Transaction

In connection with the Offering, Evanachan Limited, a company owned and controlled by Robert McEwen has agreed

to acquire 1,200,000 Units for gross proceeds of approximately $180,000. As a result of holding 10% or more of the

issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, Robert McEwen is an “insider” of the Company. The

acquisition of 1,200,000 Units by Evanachan Limited in connection with the Offering will be considered a "related party

transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61 -101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special

Transactions ("MI 61-101") requiring the Company, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation for, and

minority shareholder approval of, the “related party transaction”. The Company is relying on an exemption from the

formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 available because no securities of the Company are listed on specified

markets, including the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ or any stock

exchange outside of Canada and the United States other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock

Exchange or the PLUS markets operated by PLUS Markets Group plc. The Company is also relying on the exemption

from minority shareholder approval requirements set out in MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the participation in

the Offering by Evanachan Limited does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined

in accordance with MI 61-101.

Upon closing of the Offering, in satisfaction of the requirements of the National Instrument 62-104 - Take-Over Bids

And Issuer Bids and National Instrument 62-103 - The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider
