NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

North Sur Resources Inc. ("North Sur" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:NST) is pleased to announce the closing of an initial tranche ("Tranche 1") of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering"), which consisted of 2,416,000 common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") at a purchase price of $0.05 per share for total gross proceeds of $120,800.

North Sur expects to close the remainder of its Offering (up to $179,200 in Common Shares) within the next two weeks and will announce the closing thereof once complete. In connection with Tranche 1 of the Offering, a finder was paid a cash commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds raised from applicable subscriptions. All Common Shares are subject to a four (4) month statutory restricted resale period from the date of issuance.

In connection with the Offering, North Sur has provided an additional loan of $100,000 ("Additional Loan") as part of a maximum secured loan of up to $325,000 (the "Secured Loan"), of which $200,000 has now been advanced, to a private company in connection with the transaction (the "Transaction") outlined in the previously announced non-binding letter of intent. The Secured Loan is to be used to assist in the development and fabrication of reverse ATM stand-alone "coupon based" machines for cash, debit and credit card transactions (including secure auditable cash payment systems to the legal cannabis industry).

North Sur has entered into a loan agreement and connected collateral documents with respect to the Additional Loan of $100,000 on substantially the same terms as a previously announced initial loan of $100,000 to the same borrower. The remainder of the Secured Loan (up to $125,000) is conditional upon the completion of the remainder of the Offering, the net proceeds of which are intended in part to facilitate the remainder of the Secured Loan. Such remainder amount of the Secured Loan is expected to be extended on substantially the same terms as the Initial Loan.

The Secured Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate of 6% per annum, with maturity occurring on the earlier of: (a) one (1) year from the effective date of such loan, in the event the definitive agreement in respect of the Transaction has not been executed by the lender and the borrower; and (b) in the event such definitive agreement has been executed before one (1) year from the effective date of such loan, the earlier to occur of the following: (i) the date of termination of such definitive agreement, and (ii) the closing of the Transaction. In the event of default, unpaid amounts shall bear interest at a default rate of 8% per annum.
