/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, Dec. 27, 2019 - Cautivo Mining Inc. (CSE:CAI) ("Cautivo" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced U.S.$1.0 million non-brokered private placement of common shares (the "Offering").

The Offering was fully subscribed by Arias Resource Capital Fund II L.P. and Arias Resource Capital Fund II (Mexico) L.P. (together, "ARC Fund II"), who received 8,883,139 common shares and 504,004 common shares, respectively.

The Offering closed at a price of C $0.14 per common share, which represents an approximate 47% premium to the closing price on December 18, 2019. As a result of the closing of the Offering, ARC Fund II's ownership has increased from around 92% to approximately 93% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation. The shares issued in the Offering are subject to a hold period.

As previously announced, the sale of shares to ARC Fund II constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The sale of shares to ARC Fund II was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61- 101, as neither the fair market value of the shares distributed in the Offering nor the consideration received for those shares exceeded C $2.5 million and both of the Corporation's independent directors approved the Offering.
