Azincourt Files Technical Report for Macusani and Munani Projects, Peru

SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN--(Marketwired - May 20, 2014) - AZINCOURT URANIUM INC. ("Azincourt" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:AAZ), is pleased to announce the filing of an updated NI 43-101 report for the Company's advanced exploration projects in Peru, owned by its wholly-owned Peruvian subsidiary Minergia SAC. The report was prepared for purposes of complying with the disclosure requirements of NI 43-101, but does not contain any new material information concerning the Company's Peruvian properties that has not been previously disclosed.

The report dated May 14, 2014 entitled: "Updated Technical Report of the Macusani and Muñani Uranium Exploration Projects, Department of Puno, Perú" was completed by William R. Henkle Jr of Henkle and Associates and has been filed under Azincourt's corporate profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The technical report restates the updated resource estimate completed in 2011 on the Macusani projects and provides an evaluation of the Muñani project with proposed exploration work for both project areas to advance these prospective projects. Work planned for the advanced Macusani projects aims to enhance the quality of the resource and expand the deposit' footprints, while work proposed at Muñani will assess the prospectivity of this green-field exploration project through initial drill testing.

Azincourt acquired Minergia SAC from Vena Resources Inc. and Cameco Corp. in November 2013 (see News Release dated November 22, 2013). Exploration work on the Macusani concessions is expected to be restarted in 2014.

Azincourt and Macusani Yellowcake Inc. signed a non-binding letter of intent in April 2014 which contemplates that Macusani Yellowcake will acquire all of Azincourt's uranium properties in Peru by the purchase of held in Minergia in exchange for Macusani Yellowcake common shares and joint Azincourt and Macusani Yellowcake management and board involvement (see News Release dated April 17, 2014).
