VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 20, 2020 / Lucky Minerals Inc. ('Lucky' or the 'Company') announces that it is proceeding with a non-brokered private placement of units (the 'Offering') for proceeds of up to $500,000.

Lucky CEO, Adrian Rothwell, stated 'This is the next step to launch Lucky as an active company with a focused team and to advance our Fortuna gold and copper project.'

Pursuant to the placement of units, Lucky is offering a maximum of 25,000,000 units at a price of $0.02 per unit, for a maximum of $500,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a 'Warrant'). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.05 per common share for a period of 24 months after the closing.

The Offering is open to all existing shareholders of Lucky in accordance with 'Regulation 45-513 Respecting Prospectus Exemption for Distribution to Existing Security Holders' and other various corresponding blanket orders and rules of other Canadian jurisdictions that have adopted a similar exemption (collectively the 'Holders' Exemption'), and also to accredited investors and family, friends and business associates.

Existing shareholders of the Company interested in participating in the Offering will receive preference over new subscribers. They should contact Lucky using the contact information set out below as soon as possible as the Offering shall be allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis until the Offering is fully subscribed. The Offering is not subject to any minimum subscription. The Company may close the Offering in several tranches, the first of which it intends to close around January 31, 2020.

The Company will use the proceeds of the Offering to advance the Company's Fortuna property in Ecuador and for purposes of working capital and preservation of existing operations.

The Company has set January 17, 2020 as the record date (the 'Record Date') for the purpose of determining existing shareholders of Lucky entitled to participate in the Offering pursuant to the Holders' Exemption. Any shareholder purchasing under the Holders' Exemption will have to represent in writing that he held common shares of the Company as of the Record Date and continues to hold them. Also, the aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Holders' Exemption cannot exceed $15,000, unless that subscriber has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the Offering and, if the subscriber is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, such advice is obtained from a person that is registered as an investment dealer in the subscriber's jurisdiction.

The Transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

All of the Common Shares and Warrants of the Company issuable in connection with the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period. The Company may pay finders' fees of cash and/or securities on a portion of the Private Placement.
