SIGNATURE RESOURCES APPOINTS PAOLO LOSTRITTO AS CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND EQUITY

FINANCING

Toronto, Ontario, November 9, 2020. Signature Resources Ltd. (TSXV: SGU, OTCQB: SGGTF, FSE 3S3)

("Signature" or the "Company") is pleased to announ ce the appointment of Paolo Lostritto as the

Chairman of the Board.

Paolo Lostritto has an extensive background in mining capital markets and working with companies across

the globe since 1997. Paolo has helped assess diffe rent companies/projects and helped finance them as

they advanced through exploration, development, and production. Some of the companies where Paolo

was involved early include: Kirkland Lake Gold, Novagold and Lake Shore Gold in 2004, Romarco Minerals

in 2006, Victoria Gold and Volta Resources in 2009. Mr. Lostritto is currently serving on the Board of Blue

Thunder Mining Corporation, which is focused on gold exploration in Quebec near the recently discovered

Nelligan deposit. Paolo is a cofounder and board me mber of Interstellar Mining Inc which is focused on

leveraging a leading Canadian space mining robotics group (Deltion Innovations Ltd.) along with Watts,

Griffis, and McOuat Ltd.’s space mining group to develop and produce energy commercially for the rapidly

growing space industry. Over his career, Mr. Lostri tto was a Director of the Mining Equity Research at

National Bank Financial and worked in equity resear ch at Wellington West, Scotia Capital and TD

Securities. He served as an Independent Director at Savary Gold Corp. which was sold to SEMAFO in 2019.

Mr. Lostritto holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Geological and Mineral Engineering in Rock Mechanics

from the University of Toronto and he is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario.

“I have been following Signature Resources’ exploration work at Lingman Lake over the past

four years with great interest. I believe the compa ny has an asset base that is under

appreciated by the market and now that the Provinci al Government is building better road

and power access to the region, the story is ready to be told. There is ample evidence of

exceptional gold grades, mineralized thickness and tremendous exploration potential that

warrant follow up work. The potential over the 23 km belt is very compelling and reminds me

of several successful gold belts in the Canadian Shield that have attracted interest from major

mining companies. I look forward to working with the team to generate shareholder returns

as a function of advancing the project in the near-future.”

Paolo Lostritto, P.Eng – Chairman of the Board

“We have known Paolo for a number a number of years now, and have always appreciated

his strategic guidance. We are honoured to have su ch an experienced finance professional

join our team as Chairman of our board of directors and gaining access to his networks will

help us progress our Lingman Lake property to the next level.”

Equity Financing

The Company is also announcing a non-brokered private placement of flow-through units (the “FT Units”)

and non-flow-through units (the “NFT Units”) for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the “Offering”).

Each FT Unit is being offered at a price of C$0.06 and will be comprised of one common share of the

Company and one half non flow-through common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Concurrently,

NFT Units will be offered at a price of $0.05 per N FT Unit consisting of one common share and one

common share purchase warrant. One common share pur chase warrant from the FT Units or the NFT

Units will entitle the holder to purchase one non f low-through common share of the Company at a price

of $0.10 for a period expiring 12-months following the closing date of the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes but primarily used for

exploration work at the Company’s Lingman Lake Gold Project. Concurrent with the financing, the

Company plans on settling a number of outstanding a ccounts payable so as to focus funding efforts on

drilling and advancing the project.

Stock Options

The Company has also granted 3,000,000 incentive st ock options to Mr. Lostritto as a result of his

appointment. The options shall have an exercise pr ice of $0.065, expire five years from the date of

issuance, and shall vest 25% immediately, and 12.5% ever six months thereafter through to the third

anniversary.

Share for Debt

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has entered into debt settlement agreements with

certain creditors of the Company, including certain directors and officers. Pursuant to these agreements,

the Company has agreed to issue 5,839,093 common sh ares at a deemed price of $0.05 per common

share to settle $291,955 of outstanding debt (colle ctively, the “Shares for Debt Transactions”). Upon

completion of the Shares for Debt Transactions, it has also been agreed that an additional $79,100 of debt

shall be forgiven.

The completion of the Shares for Debt Transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including the

approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transactions

will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with

applicable securities legislation.

The Shares for Debt Transactions involving director s of the Company will, in each case, constitute a

“related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders

in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation

and the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 provided for in subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI

61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of t he subject of, and the consideration paid in the Sh ares

for Debt Transactions, in each case, in relation to the interested parties, will not represent more than 25%

of the Company’s market capitalization, as determin ed in accordance with MI 61-101. The participation

by directors in the Shares for Debt Transactions has been approved by directors of the Company who are

independent in connection with such transactions. A material change report will be filed less than 21 days

before the closing date of the transactions contemplated by this news release. The Company believes this

shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the c ircumstances as the Company wishes to improve its

financial position by reducing its accrued liabilities as soon as possible.

Potential Share Consolidation

In an effort to rebalance the corporate capital structure, the board of directors are planning to explore a

potential share consolidation at the next Annual General Meeting.

mineral rights patented claims totaling approximate ly 12,148 hectares. The property hosts an historica l

estimate of 234,684 oz of gold* (1,063,904 tonnes g rading 6.86 g/t with 2.73 gpt cut-off) and includes

what has historically been referred to as the Lingm an Lake Gold Mine, an underground substructure

*This historical resource estimate is based on prio r data and reports obtained and prepared by previou s

operators, and information provided by governmental authorities. A Qualified Person has not done

sufficient work to verify the classification of the mineral resource estimates in accordance with curr ent

CIM categories. The Company is not treating the his torical estimate as a current NI 43-101 mineral

resource estimate. Establishing a current mineral r esource estimate on the Lingman Lake deposit will

require further evaluation, which the Company and i ts consultants intend to complete in due course.
