Western Athabasca Syndicate Provides Drill Program Update at Preston Property: Discovers Elevated Radioactivity and Expands D...

Noka Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NX)(FRANKFURT:2NK) ("Noka is pleased to provide
an update at its ongoing first-phase diamond drill program on its flagship
Preston Uranium Property (the "Property") in the southwest Athabasca Basin. The
Western Athabasca Syndicate (the "Syndicate") has drilled five holes thus far
for a total of 986 metres with three to four additional holes planned. 


All five of the holes intersected a broad, hydrothermally altered and
reactivated, structural zone. Three holes returned elevated radioactivity. As a
result of these highly encouraging early findings, the Syndicate has decided to
increase the budget and expand the testing of the Swoosh target. The additional
drilling on this target will continue until late April. Drilling is planned to
recommence in early to mid-May after breakup to test the CHA and Fin targets.


The initial five drill holes tested the Swoosh target, a six-kilometre long
corridor consisting of geophysically anomalous areas as defined by gravity,
magnetic and EM surveys, coincident with surficial geochemical anomalies. Four
holes were completed down to depths of between 200 and 275 metres while the
fifth hole was abandoned due to poor drilling conditions. Overburden depth
varies from 4 to 38 metres and immediately overlies basement rock.

Three of the holes at Swoosh intersected zones of elevated radioactivity as
defined by a downhole gamma probe with the best results to date occurring in
hole PN14003 which contained several radioactive intervals; the most notable
being 802 counts per second (cps) over 1.95 metres from 186.68 to 188.63 metres
downhole in a background of 80 to 100 cps. The initial three holes also
intersected multiple graphitic units within sheared and altered basement
lithologies. The alteration commonly consists of pervasive chlorite, hematite
and clay development; features which are associated with uranium mineralization
in the Athabasca Basin. A review of final assays and geochemistry will be
carried out upon receipt of results expected in May. 


All holes were angle holes, drilled at -45 to -50 degrees. They were
radiometrically surveyed using a RS-230 gamma-ray spectrometer, and a Mount
Sopris 2PGA-1000 downhole natural gamma probe. Natural gamma radiation in drill
core reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps). All
intersections are downhole and core interval measurements and true thicknesses
are yet to be determined. The reader is cautioned that a total counts gamma
probe reading is the result of natural gamma radiation that may come from
various sources including cosmic radiation, thorium, potassium and uranium and
its radioactive decay products. CPS values cannot be certain to correlate with
uranium grades of the rock but are a general guide of the radioactivity of
minerals present in rock placed in proximity to the instrument. 


The Syndicate's Technical Team considers these findings in the early stages of
the first drill program to be a significant breakthrough towards locating
shallow uranium mineralization, and have decided to expand the initial drill
plan at the Swoosh target as a result. Two to three additional holes will be
drilled at Swoosh before breakup at the end of April with drilling to recommence
in early May.

The three initial target areas, out of a growing target base currently standing
at fifteen, were selected by the Syndicate's Technical Committee for drilling
based on encouraging fieldwork results and coincident anomalies from ground
gravity, airborne and ground EM and magnetics (graphitic conductors and
structures), radon, soil, biogeochem, lake sediment, prospecting and geological
mapping surveys. This drill campaign represents the first modern-day drill
exploration program on the Preston Uranium Property with follow up programs
planned for later this year given the encouraging results to date.


The Preston Uranium Property:

The 246,643 hectare Preston Uranium 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 on the Rook 1
Project (see NexGen's news release dated Feb. 19, 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.


Over $2.5 million dollars in exploration has been carried out to date by the
Syndicate on the Preston property and many priority targets remain for further
follow up with both fieldwork and drill testing. 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 at Preston with
similar geological features and exploratory indicators as those at the nearby
PLS and NexGen discoveries as well as other deposits in the Athabasca Basin.


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.


Management cautions, mineralization present on proximal properties is not
necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Syndicate's Property.
