WESTHAM RECEIVES CONDITIONAL APPROVAL FOR QUALIFYING TRANSACTION

Westham Resources Corp. has received TSX Venture Exchange conditional approval for its qualifying transaction involving the acquisition of up to an 85-per-cent interest in Kivalliq Energy Corp.'s Genesis uranium property located to the northeast of the Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan, the details of which were previously announced in the company's news release dated May 21, 2014.

Commenting on the pending transaction approval and new advisory board members, Scott Gibson, chief executive officer, stated: "I'm very pleased the speed we have been able to complete the agreement with Kivalliq and the positive reception by investors. Partnering with such a strong exploration team in the world's premier uranium exploration area gives Westham a platform to grow and succeed. I'm particularly gratified that we have been able to attract new directors and advisers with direct experience and successful track records in the uranium exploration sector. The company is in good hands, and I'm excited to get crews in the field and start generating exploration results."

The company and Kivalliq signed the definitive option agreement for the Genesis property on July 10, 2014. Under the terms of the option agreement, in order to earn the full 85-per-cent interest in the Genesis property, the company must complete $5-million in exploration expenditures, make $1-million in cash payments, and issue to Kivalliq common shares representing 20 per cent of the number of common shares issued and outstanding on closing (being 3,939,656 common shares, assuming completion of the entire private placement, described below) to Kivalliq over a period of four years. In connection with the closing of the qualifying transaction, the company will pay an initial $125,000 cash payment and issue common shares representing 10 per cent of the number of common shares issued and outstanding on closing of the private placement (being 1,969,828 common shares, assuming completion of the entire private placement) to Kivalliq.

For further information, see the company's filing statement in respect of the qualifying transaction dated July 10, 2014, which is available on SEDAR. The company has also filed a technical report on the Genesis property, entitled, "Technical Report on the Genesis Property, Northern Saskatchewan, Canada," prepared by Dave Billard, PGeo, on behalf of Cypress Geoservices Ltd., dated effective June 15, 2014, which is also available on SEDAR.

In conjunction with the qualifying transaction, the company will complete a non-brokered private placement of 12,528,454 units for gross proceeds of $2,756,259.88. Each unit comprises one common share and one-half of one non-transferrable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at a price of 35 cents per share for a period of three years after the date of issuance. If, at any time after the closing of the private placement, the company's common shares trade at a price of more than 50 cents for the preceding 10 consecutive trading days, the company will have the right to accelerate the expiry of the warrants by giving notice, through a news release issued within 15 business days of the last day of such 10-consecutive-trading-day calculation period, of its exercise of such right, and thereafter the warrants will, without further notice or action, automatically expire, and be of no further force and effect, at 4 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date that is 30 business days after the issuance of said news release.

The company will pay finders' fees to certain arm's-length parties in an amount equal to 6 per cent of proceeds raised under the private placement from subscribers introduced to the company by the finders and issue finders' warrants equal to 6 per cent of the units acquired by the subscribers introduced to the company by the finder. Each finder's warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of 22 cents per common share for a period of two years after the closing of the private placement. The proceeds of the private placement will be used for exploration on the Genesis property and for general working capital purposes.

All of the securities issued under the private placement and the qualifying transaction will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance. In addition, the option shares to be issued to Kivalliq will be subject to a hold period expiring one year from the date of issuance in accordance with the terms of the option agreement.

In connection with the closing of the qualifying transaction, the company intends to change its name to Roughrider Exploration Ltd., and its common shares will trade on the exchange under the symbol REL. The company currently anticipates closing the qualifying transaction on July 16, 2014. Closing of the qualifying transaction remains subject to a number of conditions including:
