Vancouver, B.C. - April 25, 2016:
San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) has closed its private placement announced March 15, 2016. Originally proposed to raise $150,000, the placement was significantly over-subscribed and raised gross proceeds of $439,550 by the issuance of 8,791,000 (formerly 3,000,000) units at $0.05 per unit. Finders' fees of 7% were paid by the issuance of 391,370 shares to qualified finders in respect of a portion of the units sold.

After the four month restricted resale period expires on August 22, 2016, the expiry of the warrants may be accelerated if the closing price of San Marco's shares equals or exceeds, for 15 consecutive trading days, $0.10 per share in the first year, $0.20 per share in the second year or $0.30 per share in the third year and San Marco gives notice to the warrant holders advising, and issues a news release announcing, within two trading days after such 15 day period, that the warrants will expire in 20 trading days.

We look forward to providing our shareholders with a continual flow of news regarding results of field work which has been initiated. '
