SERVICES 


NaiKun Wind Energy Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NKW) ("NaiKun" or the "Company") and
Mr. Joseph Houssian, a director and insider of the Company, are pleased to
announce that, following receipt of approval of the Company's disinterested
shareholders at the Company's annual general and a special meeting held June 26,
2014, it has closed the private placement previously announced on April 25, 2014
of the sale of 10,000,000 units (the "Units") to Joseph Houssian, a director of
the Company. The 10,000,000 Units were issued at a price of $0.07 per Unit for
gross proceeds of $700,000 with each Unit consisting of one common share of the
Company (a "Common Share") and 0.75 common share purchase warrant (each whole
warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle Mr. Houssian, the holder,
to acquire a Common Share at the exercise price of $0.10 per share until July
14, 2019. 


NaiKun intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate
purposes, including working capital, to further the development of the Haida
Energy Field Project.


All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a
prescribed four month hold and restricted trading period pursuant to applicable
securities laws ending on November 15, 2014.


Pursuant to the Private Placement, Mr. Houssian, a director of NaiKun, acquired
ownership and control of 10,000,000 Shares of the Company at a price of $0.07
per Share, which are subject to the prescribed four month hold and restricted
trading period. Together with securities previously acquired by Mr. Houssian,
Mr. Houssian holds 10,301,250 common shares of the Company representing
approximately 19.44% of the issued and outstanding Shares of NaiKun. The Company
has been advised that Mr. Houssian acquired the Shares for investment purposes
and may acquire additional Shares or could dispose of Shares as he sees fit,
subject to applicable securities trading and disclosure rules and regulations. A
copy of the Early Warning Report will be filed with the applicable securities
regulators in respect of the above acquisition and will be available at
www.sedar.com under NaiKun's SEDAR profile.


As previously reported, Mr. Houssian will work with the Company's board of
directors (the "Board"), Mike O'Connor (Chief Executive Officer of the Company),
and the Company's officers, employees, consultants, suppliers (including
Siemens), and staff to complete the project. Mr. Houssian will provide
considerable experience, resources and time to develop the Haida Energy Field
Project; the first offshore wind project in Canada. He will provide his services
at no cost to the Company.


Mr. Houssian has extensive experience in business development, growth, and
operations. Mr. Houssian founded Intrawest Corporation ("Intrawest"), a global
developer and operator of luxury mountain, golf, and beach resorts. Intrawest's
operations and ancillary businesses included Abercombie & Kent, which operates
in 100 countries. When sold in 2006, Intrawest employed 25,000 people with
annual revenues over $1.5 billion. Currently, Mr. Houssian is Chairman and
founder of Intracorp Development, an urban real estate development company and
Elemental Energy Inc., a renewable energy development and operating company. He
has also served on the boards of Versacold Corporation, Lions Gate Entertainment
Corp and BC Hydro.


NaiKun is also pleased to announce that at its annual general and special
meeting the shareholders re-elected Philip Hughes, Michael C. Burns, Joseph
Houssian, Michael O'Connor and David Rehn to the Board of Directors and
re-appointed KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants as auditors of the Company.


About NaiKun Wind

NaiKun Wind is a British Columbia-based renewable energy company. Located on
B.C.'s northwest coast, where the wind resource is one of the strongest and most
consistent in the world, NaiKun Wind's 396MW offshore wind project would
generate enough energy to provide electricity to 130,000 B.C. homes. If the
project does proceed it is expected to result in an estimated 500 jobs during
construction, 50 permanent jobs for maintenance and operations and over $400
million in direct expenditures in the province during construction, of which
$250 million will benefit North Coast communities.


The NaiKun Wind project is at an advanced stage of development with
environmental approvals from the Provincial and Federal Governments and
agreements in place with key suppliers and First Nations. Given its development
status, construction can begin within two years of the award of an electricity
purchase agreement. For more information on NaiKun Wind, please visit
