Proceeds from the offering will be used for exploration at the Company's Stillwater West platinum group element ("PGE")-Ni-Cu-Co project in Montana, USA, and for general working capital purposes.

President and CEO Michael Rowley stated, "We are pleased to welcome a number of experienced mining investors to Group Ten through this placement including a lead order from Palisades Goldcorp Ltd alongside other new institutional investors. The financing also received strong support from existing shareholders, including insiders. The additional funding will enable an expanded program at our flagship Stillwater West project where we own the second largest land position in the Western hemisphere's most productive PGE district, adjacent to Sibanye-Stillwater's three world-class palladium-platinum mines.

Our work at Stillwater West has demonstrated the potential for multiple "Platreef-style" deposits - bulk tonnage nickel and copper sulphide mineralization enriched in palladium, platinum, gold, rhodium and cobalt - in the lower Stillwater Complex stratigraphy, based on known parallels with South Africa's Bushveld complex. Our world-class team quickly advanced that geologic model through drill confirmation in 2019, and this year's program is expected to continue that pace as we advance drill-defined mineralized zones towards maiden resources at the three most advanced target areas."

"We are now launching phase two of our 2020 campaign, focused on Induced Polarization geophysical surveys over the most advanced target areas, with extensions into untested adjacent targets. Phase three is scheduled to commence in early August with step out expansion drilling planned at the most advanced target areas. In addition, we are now active at our high-grade gold targets, as announced in May 2020. We look forward to providing additional updates in the coming weeks."
