Cougar Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:COU) ("Cougar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has increased its financing in relation to the Company's reverse takeover transaction (the "Transaction") with TrackX Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TrackX"), previously announced in a news release dated February 16, 2016. The Company has entered into an engagement letter dated March 9, 2016 with Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood" or the "Agent") in respect of a brokered private placement of up to 14,000,000 shares at a price of C$0.25 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$3,500,000 (the "Offering").

The Transaction must be completed before or concurrently with the closing of the Offering.

As Agent, Haywood will receive a commission on the proceeds of the Offering. In addition, the Company has agreed to grant to the Agent an over-allotment option to sell to purchasers up to an additional C$525,000 in shares sold under the offering at a price of C$0.25 per share.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to aid in TrackX's ongoing efforts providing enterprise scalable, RFID-enabled Asset Tracking, Inventory Management and Supply Chain Solutions to customers across a broad range of industry verticals seeking improved visibility, utilization and analytics pertaining to their high-value assets.

The Offering is expected to close on or about April 21, 2016 or such other date as the Company and the Agent may agree, and is subject to certain conditions, including completion of formal documentation and receipt of regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and the concurrent closing of the Transaction. Pursuant to Canadian securities laws, any securities issued in the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months from the date of issuance.

Trading of the Company's shares will remain halted until completion of the Transaction or until satisfactory documentation is filed with the Exchange.
