Strongbow Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: SBW) is pleased to announce that it has closed a second and third tranche of the non-brokered private placement financing announced May 31, 2016 for gross proceeds of $490,375. With the June 28th closing, proceeds received to date total $2,285,375. Strongbow issued a total of 18,283,000 units at $0.125 per unit; no further issuances pursuant to the May 31st financing will occur.

On July 15, 2016, Strongbow issued 3,773,000 Units at a price of $0.125 per Unit for gross proceeds of $471,625; on July 19, 2016, Strongbow issued 150,000 units at a price of $0.125 per Unit for gross proceeds of $18,750. Each Unit consists of one common share and one whole share purchase warrant (the "Subscriber Warrant"). Each Subscriber Warrant will allow the holder to purchase one common share of Strongbow at a price of $0.20. The Subscriber Warrants are exercisable until July 15, 2019 and July 19, 2019, subject to the Acceleration Right described below. Proceeds of the financing will be used for work at the Strongbow's recently acquired South Crofty tin project (see Strongbow news release dated July 12, 2016) and for general working capital.

Strongbow paid cash commissions of $11,000 and issued 88,000 finder's warrants, exercisable on the same terms as the Subscriber Warrants, in connection with the second closing on July 15, 2016.

All securities issued as part of this private placement and any securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to a four month hold period which will expire November 12, 2016 (July 15th closing) and November 20, 2016 (July 19th closing) .

Acceleration Right

If on any 20 consecutive trading days the closing price of the Company's common shares (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported on a trading day) as quoted on the TSXV (or such other stock exchange, quotation system or market on which such shares are then listed) is greater than $0.50 during the term of the Warrants, then the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the 30th day after the date on which the Company gives notice to the subscriber of such acceleration in accordance with the Warrant. Any Warrants not exercised on or before such 30th business day will expire and will no longer be exercisable to acquire shares.
