CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 17, 2016) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.

Wilton Resources Inc. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:WIL) is pleased to announce that it intends to issue, by way of a non-brokered private placement, (the "Offering") up to 2,500,000 units ("Units") of the Corporation at a purchase price of $0.40 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.60. If at any time prior to the expiry of the Warrants the trading price of the Common Shares exceeds $1.25 for a period of 21 consecutive trading days, the issuer may provide notice to the holders of the Warrants that the Warrants will expire 21 days after the date of the notice. The principal use of the proceeds of the Offering will be for general corporate purposes and future working capital.

In certain instances, the Corporation may pay finder's fees to eligible persons ("Finders") on a portion of the Offering consisting of a cash payment equal to 7% of gross proceeds raised from applicable subscriptions in the Offering and the issuance of finder's warrants ("Finder's Warrants") equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised from applicable subscriptions in the Offering. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.40 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering (the "Closing Date").

Completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

As available, a portion or all of the Offering may be completed pursuant to Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 - Prospectus Exemption for Distributions to Existing Security Holders ("CSA 45-313") and the corresponding blanket orders and rules implementing CSA 45-313 in the participating jurisdictions in respect thereof (collectively with CSA 45-313, the "Existing Security Holder Exemption"). As at the date hereof, the Existing Security Holder Exemption is available in each of the provinces of Canada, with the exception of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Subject to applicable securities laws, the Corporation will permit each person or company who, as of March 15, 2016 (being the record date set by the Corporation pursuant to CSA 45-313), who holds Common Shares as of that date (a "Current Shareholder") to subscribe for the Units that will be distributed pursuant to the Offering, provided that the Existing Security Holder Exemption is available to such person or company.

Pursuant to CSA 45-313, each subscriber relying on the Existing Security Holder Exemption may subscribe for a maximum of 37,500 Units, being such amount of Units that results in an acquisition cost of less than or equal to $15,000 for such subscribers, unless a subscriber is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada and has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment from a registered investment dealer (in which case such maximum subscription amount will not apply). In the event that aggregate subscriptions for Units under the Offering exceed the maximum number of securities to be distributed, then Units will be sold to qualifying subscribers on a pro rata basis based on the number of Units subscribed for (the "Order of Distribution"). In addition to conducting the Offering pursuant to the Existing Security Holder Exemption, the Corporation will also accept subscriptions for Units where other prospectus exemptions are available. Any Current Shareholder subscribing for Units pursuant to a prospectus exemption other than the Existing Security Holder Exemption will not be limited to a maximum of 37,500 Units.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to statutory hold periods expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance of such securities, and such other restrictions as are required by applicable securities laws.

The Corporation does not expect to provide any offering materials to subscribers in connection with the Offering. For more information concerning the Corporation, please refer to the Corporation's profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
