WESTHAM RECEIVES CONDITIONAL APPROVAL FOR QUALIFYING TRANSACTION
Westham Resources Corp. ("Westham" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has
received TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") conditional approval for its Qualifying
Transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") involving the acquisition of up to an 85% interest in
Kivalliq Energy Corporation's ("Kivalliq") Genesis uranium property (the "Genesis 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, CEO 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 advisors
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 (the
"Option Agreement") on July 10, 2014. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, in order to
earn the full 85% interest in the Genesis Property the Company must complete $5,000,000 in
exploration expenditures, make $1,000,000 in cash payments and issue to Kivalliq common
shares (the "Option Shares") representing 20% 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% 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, P. Geo. on behalf of Cypress
Geoservices Limited, dated effective June 15, 2014, which is also available on SEDAR.
In conjunction with the Qualifying Transaction, the Company will complete a nonbrokered
private placement (the "Private Placement") of 12,528,454 units for gross proceeds of
$2,756,259.88. Each unit is comprised of one common share and onehalf of one non
transferrable warrant (a "Unit"), with each whole warrant (a "Warrant") entitling the holder to
purchase one common share at a price of $0.35 per share for a period of three (3) 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 $0.50 for the preceding 10 consecutive trading
days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants by giving notice,
via 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 4:00 p.m.
(Vancouver time) on the date that is 30 business days after the issuance of said news release.
The Company will pay finder's fees to certain arm's length parties in an amount equal to 6% of
proceeds raised under the Private Placement from subscribers introduced to the Company by
the finders and issue finders warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") equal to 6% 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 $0.22 per common share for
a period of two (2) 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 Limited 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
