The Western Athabasca Syndicate Identifies 23 Gravity Low Anomalies at the Preston Uranium Property in the Patterson Lake Reg...

Noka Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NX)(FRANKFURT:2NK) ("Noka") is pleased to
announce the completion of gravity surveys which have identified 23 gravity low
anomalies on the Western Athabasca Syndicate's (the "Syndicate") flagship
Preston Lake Uranium Property (the "Property"). The program also included a
RadonEx survey (ground and water) to further define targets in advance of a
drill program slated to commence in March. 


The 246,643 hectare Preston Property is the largest individual property proximal
to Fission Uranium Corp.'s Patterson Lake South ("PLS") high-grade uranium
discovery and the recent discovery made by NexGen Energy (TSX VENTURE:NXE) on
the Rook 1 Project (see NexGen's news release dated Feb. 19th, 2014). The
Syndicate is the largest land tenure holder in the southwest Athabasca Basin
region including properties strategically situated to the southwest and to the
northeast of the PLS and NexGen discoveries.

Interpretation of the gravity data by Phil Robertshaw, P.Geo., has successfully
delineated gravity low anomalies associated with previously identified
high-potential exploration corridors defined by structure, magnetic lows,
conductors, favorable geology and geochemistry. Gravity is a defining tool for
exploration for uranium in the Athabasca Basin and was a key mechanism for
vectoring in on the recent discovery made by NexGen at the Rook 1 Project.
Hydrothermal fluids associated with high-grade uranium deposits will cause
extensive alteration of the host rock, resulting in displacement and removal of
minerals/elements, creating porosity and subsequent density contrast. This
density contrast will be expressed as a gravity low anomaly and is a prime drill
target when qualified by other coincident indicators of uranium mineralization
such as geochemistry and radon.

In addition, several of the Syndicate's gravity low targets have been further
refined using a proprietary RadonEx survey which has been instrumental in
assisting with numerous discoveries in the Athabasca Basin region. The Syndicate
is carrying out a ground EM survey to further refine conductor trends and
pinpoint drill pad locations. Details concerning the upcoming drill program
shall be provided in the near-future. 


About the Preston Lake Property:

The 246,643 hectare Preston Lake Property is the largest land package proximal
to the Patterson Lake South (PLS) high-grade uranium discovery, owned by Fission
Uranium Corp. The Syndicate continues to employ a systematic, proven exploration
methodology that has led to numerous uranium discoveries in the region and
throughout the Athabasca Basin. This has been very effective in identifying
numerous high-quality targets with similar geological features and exploratory
indicators also present at the nearby PLS discovery and in other deposits in the
Athabasca Basin. Management cautions, mineralization present on proximal
properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Syndicate's
Property.  


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 Fission which includes the recently
reported drill interval of 38.49% U3O8 over 10.5 metres in drill hole PLS14-129.
Consistent high-grade, near surface U3O8 assays from 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 (which includes the Carpenter Lake) and Athabasca North group of
properties, as well as a 25% interest in the Western Athabasca Syndicate group
of properties.
