RTG MINING INC. ANNOUNCES ISSUE OF SECURITIES IN A$15 MILLION PLACEMENT FEBRUARY 18, 2015

RTG Mining Inc. (TSX: RTG, ASX: RTG) ("RTG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the issue of (i) 16.79 million shares at A$0.68 cents per share for proceeds of circa A$11.4 million as part of tranche 1, and (ii) 1.26 million subscription receipts at A$0.68 for additional proceeds of circa A$854,000 (being held in escrow, as described below) as part of tranche 2 in its A$15 million private placement ("Placement").

Placement Details:

The Placement consists of 22.3 million new shares to be issued at a price of A$0.68 cents per share to raise total funds of circa A$15.1 million. The shares will be issued in two tranches as below:

• Tranche 1 - Comprising 16.79 million Securities at A$0.68 cents per Security to raise circa A$11.4 million, issued on 18 February 2015, pursuant to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and section 607 of the TSX Listing Rules; and

• Tranche 2 - Comprising circa 5.5 million shares at A$0.68 cents per shares to raise a further circa A$3.7 million, (a) a portion of which was issued on 18 February 2015 to certain investors as subscription receipts to acquire shares (the "Subscription Receipts"), and (b) the remainder of which is to be issued to Australian and other international investors after receipt of shareholder approval at a meeting of shareholders expected to be held in early April 2015.

The securities issued pursuant to the Placement to subscribers in Canada will be subject to a four month and one day hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exercisable and entitle the holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration, one share of RTG upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, and the portion of the gross proceeds attributable to the Subscription Receipts will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the escrow release conditions. The escrow release conditions, among other things, will include the receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals (including approval of tranche 2 by RTG's shareholders and approval of the Placement by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and the Australian Securities Exchange Limited (the "ASX")). If the escrow release conditions have not been satisfied on or prior to the release deadline (such deadline to be determined by the agents and RTG), the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and an amount equal to the subscription price attributable to the Subscription Receipts shall be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts.

A Notice of Meeting to approve tranche 2 will be sent to shareholders in due course.

Hartleys Limited and GMP Securities Australia Pty Ltd acted as Australian Joint Lead Managers and Haywood Securities Inc. (including Ecoban Securities Corporation) acted as North American Lead Manager.
