WESCAN ANNOUNCES PROPOSED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. WIRE SERVICES

Wescan Goldfields Inc. ('Wescan' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it is undertaking a private placement financing consisting of an aggregate of up to 17,500,000 Common Shares of the Company ('Common Shares') at a price of $0.02 per Common Share, for gross proceeds of up to

$350,000 (collectively, the 'Offering'). In connection with the Offering, the TSX Venture Exchange ('TSX-V') has agreed to waive its requirement that shares have a minimum issue price of $0.05.

Insiders may participate at greater than 25% of the Offering.

Assuming the Offering is fully subscribed, Wescan intends to use the proceeds of the Offering as follows: general corporate and working capital purposes (up to $160,000); continued exploration of the Company's exploration projects (up to $100,000); and to settle indebtedness with or otherwise satisfy obligations to related parties of the Company (up to $90,000) (all amounts are approximate). The actual allocation of the proceeds may vary from the uses set forth above, depending on future operations or unforeseen events or opportunities. If the Offering is not fully subscribed, the Company may apply the proceeds of the Offering in such priority and proportions as the Board of Directors of the Company determines is in the best interests of Company.

The Offering is open to all existing shareholders of the Company, subject to the limitations discussed herein. The Offering will be conducted in reliance upon prospectus exemptions which permit Wescan to distribute securities to its existing security holders as set forth in Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 Prospectus Exempt for Distributions, Saskatchewan General Order 45-926 and the various other corresponding blanket orders and rules in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the 'Existing Shareholder Exemption'), subject to the terms and conditions therein. The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless that subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. The Company has fixed September 25, 2015 as the record date for the purpose of determining existing shareholders of the Company who are entitled to participate in the Offering pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption. Subscribers purchasing shares under the Existing Shareholder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that on or before the record date they became a shareholder of the Company and that they continue to be a shareholder of the Company.

In addition to conducting the Offering pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption, the Offering will also be conducted pursuant to other available prospectus exceptions, including sales to accredited investors and to close personal friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company. The Company intends to solicit subscriptions from subscribers who are not currently shareholders of the Company pursuant these exemptions. In addition, existing shareholders who wish to exceed $15,000 limit may also subscribe as accredited investors and close friends and business associates. Subscribers

purchasing shares under the prospectus exemptions for accredited investors and close personal friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company will need to make customary representations and warranties in writing that they meet certain requirements of the exemptions.

Existing shareholders are welcome to subscribe for such amount of the Offering as they chose and are not limited to their proportionate share of the Offering; subscriptions will only be subject to pro-rationing in the event the Offering is oversubscribed.

The Offering is not subject to any minimum aggregate subscription amount; however, each individual subscription must be in the amount of $5,000 or more.

Closing of the private placement is subject to the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals including approval of the TSX-V. The Offering is expected to close on or about October 22, 2015, provided that the Offering may close in one or more tranches, but in any event no later than November 13, 2015. The securities issued will be subject to a standard four month hold period.
