DESCRIPTION

Kivalliq Energy Corporation (TSXV:KIV) is a Vancouver-based uranium exploration company advancing the highest grade uranium deposit, outside of Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. The Company’s flagship project, the 340,268 acre Angilak Property in Nunavut Territory, is host to the Lac 50 Trend deposit with a NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 2,831,000 tonnes grading 0.69% U3O8, totalling 43.3 million lbs U3O8 at a 0.2% U3O8 cut-off grade. Kivalliq’s comprehensive exploration programs continue to advance the Lac 50 Trend deposit and demonstrate the “District Scale” potential of the Angilak Property. Kivalliq’s team of northern exploration specialists have forged strong relationships with sophisticated resource sector investors and project partner Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (“NTI”) in order to advance the Angilak Property. Kivalliq was the first company to sign a comprehensive agreement to explore for uranium on Inuit Owned Lands in Nunavut Territory, Canada. The Company is focused on building shareholder value while adhering to a high level of environmental and safety standards and proactive local community engagement. Kivalliq Energy Corporation is a member of the Aurora Mineral Resource Group of companies. For more information, please visit www.auroraresource.com.

Optimized tests produce encouraging values:

Alkaline leaching process indicates high recovery - 95.9% of uranium extracted in 72 hours

Precipitation tests yield low-impurity - 71.9% U in a final yellowcake product

"The final yellowcake produced from the leach solution was a low-impurity product. Available final yellowcake assays fell below the maximum concentration limit without penalty of ASTM C967-13 (standard specification for uranium ore concentrate)," stated Chuck Edwards, director of metallurgy, Amec. "The alkaline leaching process proposed for the Lac 50 trend uranium deposits is similar to that used successfully for almost 30 years at Eldorado Nuclear's Beaverlodge mill in Northern Saskatchewan."
