Calgary, Alberta (January 23, 2014) and Hong Kong (January 24, 2014) - Sunshine Oilsands Ltd. (the "Corporation") (HKEX: 2012, TSX: SUO) is pleased to announce the following:

(1) in relation to the initial private placement that was announced by the Corporation on December 3, 2013 (the "First Placing"), the Corporation has received and accepted an irrevocable subscription agreement (the "Jin Quan Subscription Agreement") from Jin Quan Limited ("Jin Quan") for 45,000,000 units of the Corporation ("Units") at a price of HK$1.70 per Unit (the "Subscription Price") (approximately CDN$0.24 per Unit at current exchange rates) for total gross proceeds of HK$76,500,000 (approximately CDN$10.90 million). The Jin Quan Subscription Agreement will replace the subscription by Global Petroleum Services Limited ("Global Petroleum") which subscription amount has been reduced accordingly, referred to in the Company's announcement dated December 3, 2013, December 10, 2013 and January 10, 2014. The Global Petroleum subscription agreement has been terminated and the remaining balance of 588,236 Units is no longer issuable to Global Petroleum. The finders' fees for the Global Petroleum subscription is also cancelled.

Each Unit is comprised of one Class "A" Common Voting Share of the Corporation ("Common Share") and one-third of one purchase warrant of the Corporation ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of HK$1.88 per Common Share (the "Warrant Exercise Price") (approximately CDN$0.26 per Common Share) for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the relevant placing. The Warrant Exercise Price will be subject to normal adjustment provisions in the case of share capital or corporate reorganizations such as share consolidations and share splits, which will accordingly adjust the Warrant Exercise Price by the impact of such consolidation or split on the total issued share capital of the Corporation such that the relevant holder of the Warrant will be kept whole and will receive their proportionate share upon exercise of the Warrant.

Jin Quan is an independent, third party company based in Hong Kong. In connection with the Jin Quan Subscription Agreement, the Corporation has agreed to pay Goldeast Limited a finders' fee of two-fifths of a Warrant for each Unit issued to Jin Quan, such that Goldeast Limited will receive 18,000,000 Warrants.

(2) it has completed the closing of its private placement of 45,000,000 Units to Immediate Focus Limited that was announced on January 16, 2014 (the "Second Placing").

(3) it has received and accepted an additional irrevocable subscription agreement (the "Pyramid Valley Subscription Agreement") from Pyramid Valley Limited ("Pyramid Valley") for 84,000,000 Units at the Subscription Price for total gross proceeds of HK$142,800,000 (approximately CDN$20.4 million) (the "Third Placing"). Closing of this subscription is subject to receipt of listing approval from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ("HKEX") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). Pyramid Valley is an independent, third party company based in Hong Kong. In connection with the Pyramid Valley Subscription Agreement, the Corporation has agreed to pay Goldeast Limited a finders' fee of two-fifths of a Warrant for each Unit issued to Pyramid Valley, such that Goldeast Limited will receive 33,600,000 Warrants.
