The property is located 350 kilometres west of Rankin Inlet and 225 kilometres southwest of Baker Lake (Figure 1). The property dimensions measure approximately 55 kilometres in an east-west direction and approximately 35 kilometres north- south. As indicated on Figure 2, all mineral claims and the IOL are contiguous and extend north, south, east and west between latitudes 62° 27’ and 62°48’ North and longitudes 98° 21’ and 99°24’ West (UTM coordinates: 6925000N to 6965000N and 479300E to 533000E, NAD83, Zone 14 NTS map areas 65 J/06, 65 J/07, 65 J/09, 65 J/10, 65 J/11 and 65 J/15).

CORPORATE BACKGROUND AND GENERAL INFORMATION Kivalliq Energy is a Vancouver-based uranium exploration company holding Canada’s highest- grade uranium resource outside of Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. The company has been operating in Nunavut since 2008. Its flagship project is the Angilak Property. Kivalliq Energy was the first company in Canada to sign a comprehensive agreement with Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) to explore on Inuit Owned Land for uranium. As part of this landmark partnership, Kivalliq Energy must meet certain expenditure and corporate commitments. Upon a production decision at the Angilak property NTI can elect to have a participating interest in the project, or collect royalties. Kivalliq Energy also makes advance royalty payments to NTI annually. The agreement not only applies to IOL RI-30, but also, extends to 107 Crown issued mineral claims. The Angilak property totals 105,280.4 hectares in all. Kivalliq Energy Corporation was formed to advance the Angilak Property and other uranium opportunities in Nunavut. Management has extensive background working in Canada’s north. John Robins is Chairman of the Company’s board of directors, Jim Paterson is the Chief Executive Officer and Jeff Ward serves as President. Mr. Jonathan Singh is the Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Andrew Berry is Chief Operating Officer. Bill Cronk serves as Exploration Manager and Jim Malone, Jim Dawson, Dale Wallster and Garth Kirkham serve as directors. The group is committed to the social and economic development of the north while maintaining a level of excellence in minimizing environmental impacts. Kivalliq Energy is proud to have been presented in both 2011 and 2012 with the Environmental Excellence Award from the Kivalliq Inuit Assoication for outstanding environmental stewardship at Kivalliq Energy’s Angilak Property. Kivalliq Energy looks forward to conducting a seventh tour of communities this year to meet with community members and increase awareness about the company and its projects. Since 1979, the property and surrounding area has been called various names (i.e. LGT, Yathkyed, Lac Cinquante) however, Kivalliq Energy collectively refers to all land holdings as the “Angilak Property”. The Angilak property hosts the high-grade Lac 50 (Lac Cinquante) uranium resource and more than 150 mineral showings. From 2007 to 2013, Kivalliq Energy evaluated the Lac 50 trend uranium deposits through a series of exploration programs that include approximately 89,500 metres of diamond drilling and reverse circulation drilling. During that time the company delineated the Lac 50 Main Zone, Western Extension, Eastern Extension, J4 Zone and Ray Zone uranium deposits. On January 15, 2013 the company released an updated NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource estimate for the Lac 50 trend deposits of 43.3 million pounds U O in 2,831,000 tonnes grading 0.69% U O (at 0.2% U O cutoff).
