VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - Aug 20, 2015) - Pure Energy Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: PE) (FRANKFURT: A111EG) (OTCQB: HMGLF) (the "Company" or "Pure Energy") announces that, at the request of IIROC, the Company hereby retracts the Company's news release issued August 20, 2015 titled "Pure Energy Receives Order Of Magnitude Report From Tenova Bateman -- Opex Cost US$1900 Per Ton Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate" (the "News Release") regarding the Company's Clayton Valley South Lithium Brine Project (the "Project"). The News Release was erroneously disseminated and contained certain technical disclosures and economic conclusions that are properly contained in an independent mining study.

Further to its news release of July 28, 2015 announcing an inferred resource estimate on the Project, the Company is currently working diligently to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment in respect of the Project. The Company has not, however, completed an independent mining study, at any level of confidence, to support the technical feasibility or economic viability of the Project, and accordingly the Company retracts any disclosure in the News Release that may suggest otherwise.
