AbraPlata Announces Private Placement

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AbraPlata Resource Corp. ("AbraPlata" or the "Company") (TSX-V:ABRA) (OTCQB:ABBRF) (Frankfurt:1AH) is pleased to announce that the Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 7,500,000 units, each consisting of one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one (1) common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") (together, a "Unit") at a price of $0.20 per Unit for total gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000 (the "Financing").  Each Warrant will be exercisable for two years to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.30 but will expire earlier if, for any ten (10) consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), the closing price of the Company's common shares equals or exceeds $0.40.

Proceeds from the Financing will be used for continuing exploration on, and evaluation of, the Company's Diablillos property and its other mineral exploration properties in Argentina, payment of outstanding accounts payable, general and administrative expenses and working capital. Closing of the Financing is subject to the approval of the Exchange. In compliance with Canadian securities laws and the rules of the Exchange, all securities issued in connection with the Financing will be subject to a hold period of four (4) months. The Company expects to complete the Financing within 30 days.

SSR Mining Inc. (formerly Silver Standard Resources Inc.) ("SSR Mining") holds a contractual anti-dilution right (the "Anti-Dilution Right") entitling SSR Mining to maintain a 19.9% equity interest in the capital of the Company, under the second amended and restated share purchase agreement dated March 21, 2017 (the "SSR Agreement"). A copy of the SSR Agreement is available from the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). Completion of the Financing, and any subsequent exercise of the Warrants, will oblige the Company to issue additional common shares to SSR Mining pursuant to the Anti-Dilution Right sufficient for SSR Mining to maintain a 19.9% equity interest in the capital of the Company.

In connection with the Financing, the Company may pay a commission or finder's fees.
