Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 30, 2019) - Southern Arc Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SA) ("Southern Arc" or the "Company") announces the terms of a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") for gross proceeds of up to C$1,050,000 through the issuance of up to 3 million common shares ("Shares") at a price of C$0.35 per Share.

John Proust, Southern Arc's Chairman and CEO, will be subscribing for 2 million Shares (C$700,000) of the Private Placement through a trust, of which he is the sole trustee (the "Trust"). The balance of 1 million Shares (the "Balance") will be available for purchase by investors until October 4, 2019 (the "Offering Period") pursuant to applicable prospectus exemptions including sales to accredited investors, family members, close friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company, purchasers who have obtained suitability advice from a registered investment dealer pursuant to the exemption set out in BC Instrument 45-536 (Exemption from prospectus requirement for certain distributions through an investment dealer) (the "Investment Dealer Exemption") and existing shareholders of the Company pursuant to the exemption set out in BC Instrument 45- 534 (Exemption from prospectus requirement for certain trades to existing security holders) (the "Existing Shareholder Exemption").

If the Balance is over-subscribed, subscriptions will be accepted at the discretion of the Company. As a result, it is possible that a subscriber's subscription may not be accepted by the Company even though it is received within the Offering Period. The Existing Shareholder Exemption is available to shareholders of record of the Company residing in all Canadian jurisdictions as at September 27, 2019 (the "Record Date"). In order to rely upon the Existing Shareholder Exemption, the subscriber must: a) have been a shareholder of the Company on the Record Date and continue to hold shares of the Company until the date of closing of the Offering, b) be purchasing the Shares as a principal and for their own account and not for any other party, and c) may not subscribe for more than C$15,000 of securities from the Company in any 12 month period unless they have first received advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment.

The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(a) and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.7(1)(a) as the fair market value of the Trust's' participation will not be more than 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
