Prophecy Closes $4,539,390 First Tranche of Private Placement

Vancouver, British Columbia, September 20, 2017 – Prophecy Development Corp. (“Prophecy” or the “Company”) (TSX:PCY, OTCPK:PRPCF, Frankfurt:1P2N) announces that it has closed the first tranche of the $5,757,360 non-brokered private placement (the “Placement”) announced on August 25, 2017 and increased on September 1, 2017.

The first tranche of the Placement raised gross cash proceeds of $4,539,390 through the issuance of 667,968 units (the “Units”) and 629,000 special warrants (the “Special Warrants”) of Prophecy. Each Unit is comprised of one Common share and one half of one Common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common share of the Company at an exercise price of $4.00 for a period of three years from the closing of the first tranche of Placement. Each Special Warrant will be exercisable for one Unit at no additional cost to the holder provided TSX and shareholder approval for the issuance of the Units underlying the Special Warrants is obtained at a general meeting of shareholders to be called within 60 days after the closing of the total Placement.

John Lee, Executive Chairman of the Company, personally subscribed for $350,000, being the equivalent of 100,000 Special Warrants of the Placement in the first tranche.

The Company paid in cash, finder’s fees totaling $30,604 and issued 87,013 finder’s Special Warrants which are exercisable on identical terms as those Special Warrants issued to subscribers through the Placement.
