Zadar Commences Due Diligence on Canadian PetroBrine Projects

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - February 13, 2017) - Zadar Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: ZAD) (FRANKFURT: ZAV) (OTCQB: ZADDF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into negotiations with a private Alberta Company to evaluate the purchase of a portfolio of Canadian PetroBrine Projects. PetroBrines are considered to be saline formational waters associated with petroleum production which could potentially be utilized as feedstock for mineral extraction, including Li (lithium). The Company intends to explore this new opportunity in an ever growing Lithium market.

Canadian Oil and Gas well operators have long reported Lithium values ranging from 80 mg/l to 140 mg/l as referenced by the geoScout Oil & Gas Industry database as reported by well operators and monitored by the Government of Alberta. There are other Provincial Geological Survey reports throughout Canada that reference brines, within these same lithium concentration ranges, in areas associated with oil production.

Company President Paul D. Gray, P.Geo. Commented "We are excited to get involved in a relatively new area of Lithium exploration. The demand for low cost Lithium production is going to be the key in the ever growing energy storage space, and Zadar intends to stay out front of this rapidly developing space."

The Company intends to complete its Due Diligence and enter into a definitive agreement within the next 45 days.

Zadar also announces it has set 500,000 incentive stock options at a price of $0.10 cents for a period of two years.

Zadar Ventures Ltd. is a Resource Company focused on the acquisition and exploration of economically viable green energy resources in jurisdictions favorable to mining and industry. For more information we invite you to visit the company's website at www.zadarventures.com
