Noka Resources Inc. ("Noka") (TSX VENTURE:NX) is pleased to provide an update on
the exploration activities at the Western Athabasca Syndicates' 246,643 hectare
(609,469 acre) Preston Lake Property located south of Fission Uranium (TSX
VENTURE:FCU) and Alpha Minerals' (TSX VENTURE:AMW) nearby Patterson Lake South
("PLS") high-grade discovery. The Western Athabasca Syndicate consists of Noka
Resources Inc., Athabasca Nuclear Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ASC), Skyharbour Resources
Ltd (TSX VENTURE:SYH), and Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:LKY)
(collectively, "the Syndicate"). 


The Syndicate is very encouraged with the recently completed first-pass ground
program (see September 5, 2013 news release) and has rushed sample geochemical
results as the next planned phase of follow-up field work commences.

Recent fieldwork focused on the evaluation of fourteen high-priority targets
identified by the Syndicate's Technical Committee using an advanced targeting
matrix. Targets have been prioritized based on a detailed criteria set
consisting of similar geological features and exploratory indicators present at
Fission Uranium and Alpha Minerals' nearby Patterson PLS discovery. Targeting
matrix components included preliminary data from the 2013 VTEM plus and
radiometric airborne surveys. The VTEM plus survey has mapped over 300
kilometres of graphitic-type conductor segments, some approaching 10 kilometres
in length, in the eastern blocks of the Preston Lake property. Basement
geological trends in the furthest western block are oriented NW-SE, while those
in the eastern blocks are W-SW to E-NE which is similar to Fission and Alpha's
PLS high-grade uranium discovery area. Crosscutting structural features and
flexures affecting the conductor traces, which are often associated with the
high-grade uranium deposits of the Athabasca Basin, including the PLS discovery,
are of particular interest. Initial interpretation of the radiometric data has
identified areas with elevated uranium counts that can be correlated along and
between multiple lines, which may indicate the presence of radioactive boulder
trains or in situ uranium mineralization. These radiometric features,
particularly where possible source areas coincide with prospective EM
conductors, are high-priority targets for follow-up ground work as this is the
signature that led to the PLS discovery. Management cautions that past results
or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be achieved on the Western Athabasca Syndicate Project. 


This first-pass phase of ground exploration included boulder prospecting using
hand held scintillometers, radon and silt sampling using both helicopter and
boat support, geochemical and radon soil sampling, geological mapping and
prospecting, and biogeochemical sampling. The Syndicate is employing a
systematic, proven and cost-efficient exploration methodology that has led to
numerous uranium discoveries in the region and throughout the Athabasca Basin. A
total of 217 km of scintillometer surveying was completed in areas of interest
identified by the radiometric survey. The field team utilized a float-equipped
helicopter to collect water samples for radon analyses and lake sediment samples
for geochemical analyses. This technique proved to be expeditious and highly
effective with 291 water and 248 lake sediments collected. Additionally, 213
biogeochemical samples and 91 soil geochemical samples were collected from
detailed grids established over priority targets as well as 21 rock samples. 


Final results, including rushed-assays, are still pending from this phase of
work and will be reported when received.


Initial Phase of Ground Work at Preston Lake Project:

Highly encouraging initial findings from the first-pass ground work have
prompted the commencement of the next phase of field work. This phase of
exploration will include focus on specific high-priority areas identified from
the work to date. By the end of this summer's field program in October, a total
of approximately $1.5 million will have been spent in exploration on the project
between airborne geophysical surveys and follow-up ground work. The goal of this
summer's exploration program is to identify uranium showings and potential drill
targets through detailed geophysical surveys, elevated silt and soil samples,
radon anomalies and radioactive boulder fields as was the case at the nearby PLS
discovery. 


About the Western Athabasca Syndicate:

The Western Athabasca Syndicate is a strategic partnership formed between
Skyharbour, Athabasca Nuclear, Lucky Strike and Noka to explore and develop a
287,130 hectare (709,513 acre) uranium project base (the "Western Athabasca
Syndicate Project") that is the largest mineral claim position along the highly
prospective margin of the Western Athabasca Basin controlled by a single group.
Under the terms of the agreement, each of the four companies has an option to
earn 25% of the five uranium properties comprising the Western Athabasca
Syndicate Project by making a series of cash payments, share payments and
incurring their pro-rata amount of the total $6,000,000 in exploration
expenditures over the two-year earn-in term of the agreement. The properties
were acquired for their proximity to the PLS discovery and interpreted
favourable geology for the occurrence of PLS style uranium mineralization. The
bulk of the Syndicate land package is bisected by all-weather Highway 955 which
runs north through the PLS discovery on to the former Cluff Lake uranium mine. 


Uranium and the Athabasca Basin:

The Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan hosts the world's largest and
richest high-grade uranium deposits accounting for just under 20% of global
primary uranium supply. Athabasca uranium deposits have grades substantially
higher than the world average grade of about 0.1% U3O8. The Patterson Lake area
has received escalating exploration attention and claim acquisition activity as
a result of the new, shallow discoveries made by Alpha and Fission which
includes the recently reported drill interval of 9.08% U3O8 over 54.5 metres in
drill hole PLS13-075. Consistent high-grade, near surface U3O8 assays from Alpha
and Fission demonstrate the potential for high-grade uranium mineralization on
the geologically prospective yet underexplored margins of the western side of
the Athabasca Basin.

About Noka Resources Inc.:

Noka Resources Inc. is a junior exploration company with a focus on uranium in
the prolific Athabasca Basin, Northern Saskatchewan. Noka's exploration strategy
is focused in relatively underexplored areas of the Athabasca Basin Region,
targeting favourable geology and structure amenable to near surface,
unconformity-style uranium mineralization.


With a total land position of 488,463 hectares, Noka holds one of the largest
geologically prospective land packages in the region through a 100% interest in
the Clearwater and Athabasca North group of properties, as well as a 25%
interest in the Western Athabasca Syndicate group of properties.
