Nordex Explosives Western Canada Expansion Update and Marketing Initiatives

NORDEX EXPLOSIVES LTD. ("Nordex" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:NXX) is
pleased to announce the following updates on current business activities
including the proposed expansion into western Canada as previously announced on
March 11, 2014. This expansion will further the potential for Nordex products
including the exclusive Buttbuster line of perimeter control products which are
only available in North America through Nordex. 


Western Canada Expansion

Nordex recently met with its proposed joint venture partners during a recent
trip to the Vancouver CIM conference held from May 11-14, 2014. During these
meetings, members from both parties determined a key location for an initial
distribution site and identified potential locations for a manufacturing site.
The distribution site location has been agreed upon and Management has initiated
the approval process required to begin operations. Initially the site will
provide storage facilities, sales/technical support and distribution services
for products manufactured by Nordex at its Kirkland Lake facility. The
Corporation has completed a logistics analysis required for the transportation
of product into western Canada. The Corporation will continue its due diligence
process for the acquisition of a suitable property and the development of a
manufacturing facility to compliment initial distribution plans. 


It is anticipated that operations will commence in the 3rd quarter 2014. Initial
staff positions have been identified and qualified personnel have been retained
for the launch of operations during this period.


Marketing Initiative for Nordex Products

With the attendance to the CIM conference in Vancouver, management had the
opportunity to present new and existing clients with revised marketing material
for all products and services. This marketing material focuses on the benefits
of using Nordex products which includes increased safety, higher explosive
velocity, increased efficiency of Buttbuster products, and ease of use. In
addition, management has continued to introduce the proprietary Scorpion
Underground Loading system, which further enhances safety for explosives
customers.


This new marketing material was well received by several potential clients which
includes large multi-national groups, with operations in both the mining and
construction sectors. 


President and CEO Jim Taylor states; "We are extremely pleased with the positive
response for our line of Buttbuster and unique delivery systems allowing
customers to operate in an efficient and safe manner. With continued
introductions to potential buyers in Canada including new customers in western
Canada, we are positioned to realize benefits from our expansion strategy of
2013. Our existing locations in eastern Canada allows for greater delivery to
mining and construction customers, and our western presence will further our
national leadership in the explosives industry."
