About Kivalliq Energy Corporation
Kivalliq Energy Corporation (TSX VENTURE: KIV) is a Vancouver-based company with a portfolio of
high-quality uranium exploration projects in Canada. Kivalliq holds Canada's highest-grade uranium resource outside of
Saskatchewan. The Company's flagship project, the 89,852 hectare Angilak Property in Nunavut Territory, hosts the Lac 50 Trend
with a NI 43-101 Inferred Resource of 2,831,000 tonnes grading 0.69% U3O8, totaling 43.3 million pounds U3O8. Kivalliq's
comprehensive exploration programs continue to demonstrate the "District Scale" potential of the Angilak Property. For disclosure
related to the inferred resource for the Lac 50 Trend uranium deposits, please refer to Kivalliq's news release of March 1,
2013.
In Saskatchewan, Kivalliq holds a 100% interest in the 13,711 hectare Hatchet Lake Property adjacent to the north-eastern
margin of the highly prolific uranium-producing Athabasca Basin. Compilation of results from previous exploration by Hathor
Exploration Limited and Rio Tinto have identified multiple, priority unconformity-related basement targets at Hatchet Lake that
were followed up in 2015.
Kivalliq also holds a 100% interest in the 200,909 hectare Genesis Property located northeast of Saskatchewan's Athabasca
Basin, with Roughrider Exploration Limited funding the current exploration program pursuant to an option to acquire up to an 85%
interest in the property. This highly prospective project is located along the Wollaston-Mudjatik trend and extends 90 km
northeast from Wollaston Lake to the Manitoba border.
Kivalliq's team of northern exploration specialists has forged strong relationships with sophisticated resource sector
investors and Angilak Property partner Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI). Kivalliq was the first company to sign a comprehensive
agreement to explore for uranium on Inuit Owned Lands in Nunavut Territory, Canada and is committed to building shareholder value
while adhering to high levels of environmental and safety standards and proactive local community engagement.
