VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/11/14

Highbank Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HBK)(FRANKFURT:V7O), (the "Company").

B.C. and First Nations sign first LNG revenue-sharing agreements: http://ow.ly/vEFLB

The revenue-sharing agreements with Lax Kw'alaams and Metlakatla First Nations share a portion of provincial government revenues from Sole Proponent Agreements ("SPA") related to the Grassy Point lands, and proponents Aurora LNG and Woodside. The Grassy Point lands have been identified as the potential site for new LNG export facilities and the SPAs give the proponents the exclusive right to move forward with activities to inform planning for LNG development.

Victor N. Bryant states that, "cooperative agreements such as these, and our agreement with the Metlakatla (HBK- Metlakatla nr -November 5, 2012 http://ow.ly/vEFTe ) symbolizes the essential local community engagements that will see these LNG projects through to completion."

B.C. Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rustad, comments... "I applaud the vision and commitment of the Lax Kw'alaams and Metlakatla leadership and their communities. This kind of collaboration with First Nations will underpin the economic security of their communities now and in the future and create greater certainty for the First Nations, industry and government."
