Nevada Exploration Announces $600,000 Private Placement, Corporate Update, and Shares for Debt

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - July 15, 2014) - Nevada Exploration Inc. ("NGE" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NGE) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement offering of up to 12,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit (the "Offering"), for total gross proceeds of up to $600,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of three years, subject to an accelerated expiry provision described below. As set out in more detail later in the release, NGE will make the Offering available to existing shareholders under a new prospectus exemption process as set out in BC Instrument 45-534.


Corporate Update and Use of Proceeds

In the last 165 years, explorers have identified and evaluated nearly 100,000 prospects within Nevada's 300,000 km2. Of these prospects, approximately 665 have become producing gold mines, representing the highest concentration of gold deposits per unit area of any jurisdiction in the world.

In the last few years, new research aimed at understanding Nevada's unique gold endowment has identified the large-scale geologic processes and events responsible for the genesis and spatial distribution of Nevada's gold deposits. Rather than the simplistic concept of linear trends (e.g. the Battle Mountain - Eureka Trend and the Carlin Trend), this new research defines the extent of suitable conditions for gold deposition to a larger area, of approximately 110,000 km2, centred on north-central Nevada. Of this area, only 40% has been effectively explored because the remaining 60% is covered beneath sand and gravel in the valley basins where conventional exploration methods are challenged. NGE's management believes that the covered 60% of this area contains as much gold as has already been found in the exposed 40%, and that searching in these covered areas represents the best opportunity to find large new gold deposits anywhere in the world.

Recognizing this incredible opportunity to find new large gold deposits, NGE has spent the last 10 years developing and applying new hydrogeochemistry (groundwater chemistry) exploration technology to complete the first systematic search for gold in Nevada's covered basins (for more information please visit www.nevadaexploration.com). Today the rest of the industry is beginning to recognize the potential to find new gold deposits in these formerly "off-trend" areas, as well as the need to explore the 60% of this area that sits beneath cover. Illustrative of how the industry is shifting its exploration strategies to incorporate these new ideas, NGE has learned that Barrick Gold Corp. has begun to collect hydrogeochemistry samples to explore in covered settings in Nevada's Antelope Valley and Monitor Valley. With a 10 year head start, NGE has identified many prospective basin targets, assembled large land positions covering many of these areas, and has positioned itself to lead the industry in this next chapter of exploration in Nevada.

To sustain this lead, and to provide shareholders with the opportunity to benefit from NGE's considerable work and investment to date, NGE is completing this Offering to raise the capital needed to maintain the Company's property portfolio, and to allow NGE's Management to engage with industry participants in order to attract additional exploration partners and resources. Of the proposed total gross proceeds of $600,000, NGE expects to use $270,000 for property payments and maintenance; $160,000 to support its exploration office, and $160,000 to meets its public company related corporate administration.

Discussing the Offering and NGE's strategic vision, Wade Hodges, CEO & Chairman said: "In the year and a half since we last went to the market to raise capital, we have incorporated the most recent geologic models into our large hydrogeochemistry database and regional geophysical and geologic datasets to further reduce Nevada's vast highly prospective basins down to discrete targets, with a combined total area of less than five percent of the north-central Nevada focus area. In the last year NGE has completed additional groundwater sampling and acquired new property positions in the areas covering the high priority targets. With major industry players such as Barrick now beginning to adopt these same strategies, we believe that NGE is positioned to be a leader and that the time has come for us to raise our profile within the industry. With this financing we will secure our properties for another year and have time to engage in discussions with interested exploration partners, all with the goal of leveraging our existing properties, the targets we have identified but not yet acquired, our large state-wide database, and our proprietary technology to create opportunities for our shareholders to participate in a large gold discovery in Nevada."
