NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, DISSEMINATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES

Vancouver, B.C. – January 20, 2022 - Kainantu Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: KRL; FSE: 6J0) (“KRL” or the “Company”), the Asia-Pacific focused gold mining company, announces a further increase to its previously announced private placement financing (the “Offering”) due to oversubscriptions. The Offering was originally announced on December 1, 2021, to raise gross proceeds of up to C$1.5 million (which detailed the relevant financing terms), and, due to oversubscriptions, the Offering has been further upsized to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$2.77 million.

Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used, but are not limited to, exploration programmes at KRL North and KRL South leading to delineation of drilling targets, sampling and technical reports for the May River Project, and general working capital purposes.

Further Deal Terms

All terms of the Offering remain the same, provided that the Company intends to issue up to a total of 15,387,482 units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of C$0.18 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$2.77 million under the full Offering. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant being exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.36 per Common Share at any time up to 36 months following the closing date of the Offering, subject to earlier expiry in certain circumstances.

The Company closed the first tranche of the Offering on January 4, 2022. Under the first tranche of the Offering, the Company has issued an aggregate of 9,268,825 Units to raise gross proceeds of an aggregate of C$1,668,388.

A second and final tranche of the Offering of up to an additional approximately C$1.1 million is expected to close on or before January 24, 2022.

Completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering and as payment of any finder’s fees, including Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants or Compensation Warrants, if any, will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day after the date of closing of the Offering.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Units, nor shall there be any sale of the Units in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Units being offered will not be, and have not been, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person.

Neither the TSX-V nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX-V) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
