Vancouver, B.C., August 8, 2016: Serengeti Resources Inc. (SIR:TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it has now closed its non brokered private placement financing originally announced July 13, 2016, which by news release dated July 22, 2016, was further increased due to oversubscription.

The Company raised total gross proceeds of CDN $661,200 by the issuance of 6,612,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).

Proceeds of the Offering will be used to maintain and preserve the Company's existing operations, activities and assets, for exploration on a number of the Company's properties in B.C. outside of the Kwanika project currently being funded by Daewoo Minerals Corporation who are earning a 5% interest in the property by spending $1.2 million in 2016, and for working capital purposes.
