Kilo Goldmines Ltd. ("Kilo" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:KGL)(FRANKFURT:02K)
is pleased to announce that it intends to proceed with a non-brokered private
placement of equity units ("Units") to raise gross proceeds of a minimum of
$5,000,000 and a maximum of $6,000,000 (the "Offering"). The Units will be
offered at a price of $0.25 per Unit (following a 1 for 10 consolidation of the
common shares of the Company) and each Unit will consist of one
post-consolidated common share and one common share purchase warrant (a
"Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional
post-consolidated common share of the Company for five years at a price of $0.35
during the first two years and $0.50 for the next three years. 


The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund further
exploration and development of the Company's Somituri gold project in the
Democratic Republic of Congo and for working capital and general corporate
purposes. 


Dundee Capital Markets ("DCM") and Sprott Private Wealth LP ("SPW") and some of
its affiliates (collectively, the "Finders") have agreed to act as finders in
connection with the sale of $3.0 million and $2.0 million of the Units,
respectively, for a total of $5.0 million of the Offering.


The Finders will receive a fee of 6.0% for all Units placed to investors
introduced by them, payable in cash or Units, at the option of the Finder, and
will also receive 6.0% Finders' warrants, each exercisable to acquire one
post-consolidated common share of the Company at a price of $0.25 per share for
a period of 5 years. SPW and its affiliates will not receive a finder's fee or
finder warrants for Units sold under the Offering to accounts and funds managed
by it or its affiliates due to it being an affiliate of an insider as described
below. DCM has agreed to take all fees in Units.


Kilo has been advised that Sprott Inc. (TSX: SII; "Sprott") and its affiliates,
including SPW, currently own or control through managed accounts and funds, a
total of 40,418,500 pre-consolidated common shares of the Company, representing
approximately 12.6% of the currently issued and outstanding shares, as well as
warrants to acquire a further 37,155,000 pre-consolidated common shares of the
Company. As such, Sprott is an insider of the Company. Assuming the exercise of
such warrants, Sprott would own and control 21.79% of the post-consolidated
common shares of the Company and would be a "control person" of the Company.
Sprott has advised that it, or one or more of its affiliates, intend to acquire
that number of Units which, including any Units received by SPW and its
affiliates as finder's fees and any finder warrants and assuming the exercise of
all warrants, will provide it with approximately, but not more than, 29.9% of
the number of post-consolidated common shares of the Company on a partially
diluted basis.


DCM has advised that Corona Gold Corporation ("Corona") (TSX:CRG) has agreed to
purchase a minimum of $2.3 million and a maximum of $2.8 million of the Units.
Corona has confirmed that it currently owns no securities of the Company. If the
minimum Offering is completed, Corona would own or control up to 11,200,000 of
the post-consolidated common shares, representing up to approximately 21.6% of
the post-consolidated common shares then issued and outstanding, as well as
warrants to acquire up to a further 11,200,000 post-consolidated common shares
of the Company. Assuming the exercise of such warrants, Corona would own or
control up to approximately 35.5% of the number of post-consolidated common
shares of the Company.


It is anticipated that other insiders of the Company may subscribe for up to
$250,000 of the Offering. 


Completion of the Offering would result in both Sprott and Corona becoming new
"Control Persons" of Kilo, as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange. Accordingly, Kilo will be required to obtain disinterested shareholder
approval for the creation of such Control Persons before the Offering may be
completed. Votes attached to common shares owned or controlled by Sprott or
Corona and their respective associates and affiliates will be excluded from
voting. Kilo has called a special meeting of shareholders to be held on May 1,
2014 to consider approval of the creation of the Control Persons.


As a result of the participation in the Offering by Sprott (and possibly other
insiders), the Offering is considered to be a "related party transaction" under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"), however, the transaction will be
exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101. To the extent that
both the fair market value of the securities to be issued to Sprott and other
insiders and the cash consideration to be paid for such securities do not exceed
25% of Kilo's market capitalization, the transaction will also be exempt from
the minority approval requirements of MI 6-101. Otherwise, minority approval
excluding the insiders, their affiliates and joint actors will also be required.



Approval for the planned 1 for 10 share consolidation was received at Kilo's
annual and special shareholders' meeting held on March 6, 2014 and is expected
to be implemented shortly. It is anticipated that the Offering will be completed
in escrow on or about April 15, 2014 subject to receipt of shareholder approval
for the creation of the new Control Persons to be obtained at the special
shareholders' meeting scheduled for May 1, 2014. The Offering will also be
subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the delivery of standard opinions.
