CEO Update March 2015

Kivalliq’s team has been working hard over the past few years to take advantage of the severe cyclical downturn in the mineral exploration and mining sector to increase the Company’s high quality uranium exploration holdings. Click on the following link to view a short update video on Kivalliq’s growing uranium project portfolio (1:39 minutes).

News from the global nuclear power industry, the primary consumer of uranium, has been very positive the past few weeks and we wanted to share some highlights for you in this short update.

According to www.uxc.com, the spot of price of U₃O₈ recently exceeded US$39/Lb, gaining approximately 40% since the mid-summer 2014 multi-year lows of US$28/Lb.

A highly encouraging interview by Russian news agency RIA Novosti was conducted recently with Leonid Bolshov, director of the Nuclear Safety Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IBRAE RAN). Mr. Bolshov stated:

“Experts agree that the global nuclear power industry has returned to its "pre-Fukushima state" and pessimistic forecasts of a slowdown in its development have not materialized…According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, there are 440 nuclear power units in operation and a further 68 are under construction… The process of building new nuclear power plants in the world has been resumed and is growing.”

A recent visit to the World Nuclear News website, New Nuclear section, shows the following headlines from the past two weeks alone:

10 March 2015 - China resumes new reactor approvals
The Chinese government has approved construction of two more units at the Hongyanhe nuclear power plant in Liaoning province, marking the first approval for new reactors in four years.

10 March 2015 - Third generator arrives for Tianwan 3
The third of four Russian-produced steam generators has now been delivered to the construction site of unit 3 of the Tianwan nuclear power plant in China's Jiangsu province.

09 March 2015 - Sanmen 2 steam generators on site
The second steam generator for the second AP1000 unit under construction at Sanmen in China's Zhejiang province has been delivered to the construction site ahead of installation.

04 March 2015 - Saudi Arabia teams up with Korea on SMART
At least two South Korean-designed SMART reactors could be built in Saudi Arabia following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two countries yesterday. Korea and Saudi are to jointly promote the reactor in the global market.

04 March 2015 - Russia offers nuclear desalination bundle
Rusatom Overseas is aiming to sell desalination facilities integrated with large capacity nuclear power plants to Russia's export markets.

26 February 2015 - Grid connection for South Korean reactor
The second unit of the Shin Wolsong plant was connected to the power grid today following the successful completion of commissioning tests, plant owner Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power announced.

A typical 1000 Mwe nuclear reactor runs safely and consistently for many decades (in excess of 40 years) and consumes approximately 400,000 lbs U₃O₈ annually. When you look the steady growth in the global reactor build and the renewed industry strength led by countries such as those mentioned in the World Nuclear News articles noted above, the future for the nuclear sector looks very bright.

We are striving to position Kivalliq stakeholders to take advantage of an improving uranium pricing environment driven by demand, such as noted above, and exacerbated by the fragile nature of uranium supply from global mine production.

All the best,
Jim Paterson, CEO
Kivalliq Energy Corporation
