PURE ENERGY MINERALS APPOINTS WALTER WEINIG AS VICE PRESIDENT - PROJECTS & PERMITTING

Pure Energy Minerals Ltd. has appointed Walter Weinig as vice-president of projects and permitting effective April 1, 2017. This appointment continues the transition of the company from exploration to development activities at the Clayton Valley south lithium project (CVS) while helping to launch the exploration stage at the Terra Cotta project in Argentina.

Mr. Weinig brings nearly 30 years of experience in mining hydrogeology, permitting and project management at sites around the globe to Pure Energy. He has managed multidisciplinary engineering and scientific teams to accomplish complex design and permitting projects in surface and underground mining, industrial and environmental arenas. Mr. Weinig has led and performed groundwater and environmental investigations throughout the southwestern United States, including mining-related baseline studies and assessments for several projects in Nevada. He has also provided oversight and input to the resource quantification for a lithium-brine project in Argentina (unrelated to Pure Energy). He is currently involved with the company in a consulting capacity, focusing on the resource evaluation at the CVS project.

Mr. Weinig earned a BSc degree in geology from the University of Wisconsin and an MSc in hydrology and water resources from the University of Arizona. He is a registered professional geologist, a certified project management professional and is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

Pure Energy also announces that Dr. Andy Robinson will resign from his position as chief operating officer of the company effective March 31, 2017. Dr. Robinson joined Pure Energy as chief operating officer in November, 2014, and was appointed a director in September, 2015. He presided over considerable growth of the company during the early stages of the CVS project. Dr. Robinson remains a director of the company.

Pure Energy chief executive officer, Patrick Highsmith, commented about the evolution of the team: "This will be a year of transition at the Clayton Valley south project as we progress from exploration to development. At the same time we launch an important exploration program at the new Terra Cotta project. We are very excited that Walter Weinig is joining our team at Pure Energy. Not only does he have specialist hydrogeology and lithium experience, but he is also a professional project manager. This skill set will keep us focused on the timely delivery of important milestones at the CVS and Terra Cotta projects. Walter is a great communicator and extremely organized. I look forward to his leadership in the field and in the boardroom."

Mr. Highsmith continued with respect to the resignation of Dr. Robinson: "It has been a pleasure working alongside Andy for the last year. We have learned a lot from him in the field during the drilling campaigns. He did an excellent job in leading the engineering team through the mini-pilot plant and to the production of the first flowsheet for the CVS project, which was released in December of last year. We wish him success and good fortune in his future endeavours."
