Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2018) - Hunter Oil Corp. (TSXV: HOC) (OTCQX: HOILF) (the "Company") announces that that it will conduct a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to 4,000,000 common shares (the "Shares") of the Company at a price of CAD $0.50 per share to raise gross proceeds of up to CAD $2,000,000. The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for general working capital purposes.

It is anticipated that insiders of the Company and their joint actors may subscribe for up to 20% of the Shares pursuant to the Private Placement. The participation of each insider will be subject to the approval of directors of the Company who are independent of such insider. Any such participation would be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61- 101"). The distribution of the securities to the insiders would be for cash with a fair market value of less than $2,500,000, such that the Company anticipates that the sale of securities to insiders pursuant to the Private Placement will be exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61- 101. No new insiders are anticipated to be created, nor will there be any change of control, as a result of the Private Placement.

All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a minimum four month hold period. The private placement is subject to all required approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
