Noka Resources Inc. ("Noka") (TSX VENTURE:NX) is pleased to announce results
from its initial lake sediment geochemical survey on the Western Athabasca
Syndicates' 246,643 hectare Preston Lake Property located south of Fission
Uranium (TSX VENTURE:FCU) and Alpha Minerals (TSX VENTURE:AMW) Patterson Lake
South ("PLS") high-grade uranium 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").

Highlights:



--  Confirmation of several historic clusters of anomalous U concentrations
    well above the background value of 1.0 ppm U in lake sediments.

--  A total of 133 samples have an anomalous U value including a peak of 7.0
    ppm U; for comparison, the highest value down-ice from the PLS discovery
    is 3.8 ppm U.

--  In most cases the uranium and pathfinder element anomalies correlate
    with areas of interest generated independently through the
    interpretation of airborne VTEM and radiometric geophysics, radon in
    water samples and historic data reviews.

--  Identification of a new target area (termed 'Montgrand Lake Zone') with
    anomalous U and pathfinder element concentrations.

--  Final results from the Phase 2 and Phase 3 exploration programs are
    still pending and will be reported when received; the bulk of this field
    work has been focused in the northeast portion of the Preston Lake
    Property.



Lake Sediment Geochemical Results in the Phase 2 Exploration Program:

Recently completed fieldwork included the collection of 248 lake sediment
samples from lakes and ponds using a float equipped helicopter or boat. Sample
targets included both regional reconnaissance areas and the fourteen
high-priority targets identified by the Syndicate's Technical Committee. The
samples were analyzed by ACME Labs, an ISO/IEC accredited analytical services
provider. The dataset shown also includes 420 historical samples collected in
previous exploration programs within the current Preston Lake Property
boundaries. The values from the historical samples appear to correlate with the
values derived from the 2013 program. Management cautions that although it has
not independently reviewed all of the historical work on the Preston Lake
Property, as referenced in this news release, it has no reason to doubt the
accuracy or correctness of such work. 


The survey, which covered primarily the northeastern part of the Preston Lake
Property, has successfully identified a number of uranium in lake sediment
anomalies as well as anomalous pathfinder geochemistry. In most cases the
uranium and pathfinder element anomalies correlate with areas of interest
generated independently through the interpretation of airborne VTEM and
radiometric geophysics, radon in water samples and historic data reviews.
Uranium in lake sediments is considered anomalous at greater than 1 ppm U. In
total, 133 samples have an anomalous U value including a peak of 7 ppm U (for
comparison, the highest value down-ice from the Patterson Lake South discovery
is 3.8 ppm U). A historic sample collected by the Geological Survey of Canada on
the Preston Lake Property returned a value of 4.8 ppm U, considered to be
significant in an area with a background uranium value of 1 ppm U. 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 Property. 


Remaining Phase 2 and Current Phase 3 Exploration Program:

Final datasets from the helicopter-borne VTEM plus survey (time domain EM and
aeromagnetic gradiometer) and the fixed-wing radiometric survey have been
received and are currently being analyzed by Phil Robertshaw, P.Geo., for a
final detailed interpretation. Other fieldwork to date includes geological
mapping and prospecting, soil and lake sediment sampling, and biogeochemical
sampling. Final results from the Phase 2 exploration program are still pending
and will be reported when received. Targets continue to be prioritized based on
a detailed criteria set consisting of similar geological features and
exploratory indicators present at Fission and Alpha's nearby PLS discovery.


The Phase 3 exploration program includes ground work focused on high-priority
areas identified from the findings to date, including the radon in water
anomalies. By the end of this summer/fall field program in October, a total of
approximately $1.5 million will have been spent in exploration on the property
via 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 airborne geophysical surveys, lake sediment and soil
sampling, radon sampling, and prospecting for radioactive boulder fields. The
exploration methodology is similar to that which led to the discovery of
significant mineralization at PLS.


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 suite of uranium properties that is the largest land 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 Partnership 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. 


The Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan hosts the world's largest and richest
high-grade uranium deposits which 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, near surface 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.
