UNITY ENERGY CORP. BEGINS GROUND SAMPLING PROGRAM AT
MILLERS CROSSING LITHIUM PROJECT, NEVADA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 4, 2016 - Unity Energy Corp. (UTY:TSX.V) and (UJN2 - Frankfurt) "Unity" or the "Company is pleased to announce the
---> commencement of its Phase 1 sub-surface short hole sampling program to test brine sediments on its 100% owned Miller'
--->s Crossing Lithium Project in the Big Smoky Valley, Nevada. The Company's field crew is currently onsite at the Miller
--->'s Crossing Project and this stage of reconnaissance drilling should be completed within seven days, after which sedim
--->ent samples will be assayed for lithium and other commercial elements.  
Phase 1 sampling is to consist of 10-12 hand auger holes, drilled to a depth of between 2-4m, to sample surface layers
---> for target elements and to refine drill target selection for Phase 2 drilling, which will utilize powered drills and 
--->reach depths of up to 60m. The Company expects to receive permits for the Phase 2 drilling later this month.  
The results of this program will be considered alongside historical gravity survey data to develop a detailed explorat
--->ion plan for the property, which will culminate in Phase 3 deep hole drilling.
The Millers Crossing Project fits well into the playa-type brine deposit model as it shares geological similarities wi
--->th Clayton Valley, the only lithium producing brine operation in North America. A playa is an internally drained brine
---> deposit, the surface of which is primarily composed of silts and clays in which lithium can accumulate from the surro
--->unding source rocks during successive evaporation and concentration events. 
Regarding the initiation of the field program, CEO Ian Graham commented: "We are very excited to put boots on the grou
--->nd in the Big Smoky Valley and we aim to have preliminary results to shareholders in the near future. The market outlo
--->ok for lithium, which is chiefly utilized in lithium ion batteries, is very positive and we are focused on ensuring Un
--->ity plays a leading role in bringing compelling lithium production opportunities to the mine development sector."
