Strong continued support from international institutional investors

Perth, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 10, 2020) -  Tempus Resources Ltd (ASX: TMR) (TSXV: TMRR) ("Tempus" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has arranged a Canadian "non-brokered private placement" to raise gross proceeds of C$1,253,450 at an issue price of C$0.265 per share (approximately A$0.28 per share) (the "Placement"). The Placement will be to institutional investors, including certain funds managed by Sprott Asset Management LP and other North American institutional investors.

The Placement, undertaken at a premium to recent ASX trading, is primarily undertaken to assist seed liquidity for the newly completed listing of the Company's shares on the TSX Venture Exchange and further develop Tempus' North American institutional coverage.

Commenting on the Placement, Managing Director Brendan Borg said:

"The Placement ensures Tempus continues to be well funded as we continue our exciting exploration programs at Blackdome-Elizabeth, and it will assist in providing liquidity for our shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, where listing commenced this week."

The Placement comprises a single tranche under the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Proceeds from the placement will be applied to the Company's Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada.

The Placement shares will be issued as Canadian flow-through shares, which provide tax credits to those investors for capital to be used in qualifying mining and exploration activities. The Placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and will have the statutory hold period of 4 months plus 1 day. The completion of the Placement is expected on or about December 17, 2020.

Tempus will pay total finders fees of $75,207 and will issue 283,800 broker warrants (strike price C$0.265) in connection with the Placement.

About the Blackdome-Elizabeth Gold Project

Tempus is focussed on rapidly verifying and expanding the historical high-grade Mineral Resource at the Blackdome-Elizabeth Project in British Columbia by drilling extensions to existing mineralisation and other high priority targets within the 350 km² licence area, which remains relatively unexplored. Tempus also intends to leverage the existing permitted mill, tailings dam and other infrastructure at Blackdome with the aim of re-commencing production as the Project proceeds.
