ENTRÉE RESOURCES ANNOUNCES NON-BROKEREDPRIVATE PLACEMENT

Vancouver,B.C., August 20, 2020 – Entrée Resources Ltd. (TSX: ETG; OTCQB: ERLFF – the “Company” or “Entrée”) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 10,000,000 units of the Company (“Units”) at a price of C$0.43 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to C$4,300,000 (the “Private Placement”).

Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one transferable common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of C$0.60 per share for a period of three years following the date of issuance.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement are expected to be used to update the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Company’s interest in the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi joint venture property in Mongolia (the “Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property”) and for general corporate purposes.

Closing of the Private Placement is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2020 and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Certain insiders of the Company may acquire Units under the Private Placement. Any participation by insiders in the Private Placement would constitute a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders inSpecial Transactions (“MI 61-101”). However, such participation would be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the Units subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration paid by such insiders for the Units, would exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The securities being offered pursuant to the Private Placement have not been, and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. federal and state registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States.
