American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an
agreement with a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters") led

which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought-deal basis,
3,762,000 common shares of the Company ("Shares") at a price of
C$5.85 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of C$22.0 million
(the "Offering").
The Underwriters have been granted an option (the
"Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part, at any
time within 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase from the
Company up to an additional 15% of the Shares offered under the Offering.
The Company will pay the Underwriters a cash
commission of up to 5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including any

SSR Mining Inc. ("SSR Mining") has
indicated that it will elect to exercise its right to maintain its pro rata
ownership interest of up to 9.9% of the outstanding shares of SilverCrest
pursuant to an agreement between the Company and SSR Mining dated November 28,
2018 (see news release dated November 29, 2018). Accordingly, SSR Mining has
agreed to purchase a minimum of 718,000 shares of SilverCrest and, in the event

of SilverCrest at a price of C$5.85 for aggregate proceeds of C$4.2 million
(maximum C$4.6 million) in a separate non-brokered private placement.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for continued

for working capital purposes.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about
August 15, 2019 and is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of
all necessary securities regulatory approvals and the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange.
The Offering is being made pursuant to a short form
prospectus to be filed in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Quebec)
and may be offered in the United States to Qualified Institutional Buyers
pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements under rule 144A of
the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities
Act"), in a manner that does not require the Offering to be registered in
the United States. The Offering may be also sold in such other jurisdictions as
the Company and the Underwriters may agree.
In the event that related parties of the Company
acquire Shares under the Offering, such participation would be considered to be
"related party transactions" within the meaning of TSX Venture
Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61‑101 ("MI 61‑101").
The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and
minority approval requirements of MI 61‑101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and
5.7(1)(a) of MI 61‑101 in respect of any related party participation on the
basis that neither the aggregate fair market value of the Shares to be
distributed to nor the consideration to be paid by related parties will exceed 25%
of the Company's market capitalization as determined under MI 61‑101.

sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the
