Declan Resources Inc. ("Declan" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LAN) is pleased
to announce that it has acquired an option to purchase a group of six
properties, located in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan (the "DR Property
Group"). The DR Property Group encompasses approximately 145,000 acres and are
within or proximal to the Athabasca Basin, which is host to some of the worlds'
largest and richest high-grade uranium deposits. Declan considers the properties
to be significantly prospective and underexplored. 


The DR Property Group includes:



1.  Davidson River, Saskatchewan (65,000 acres), 
2.  Beatty River, Saskatchewan (9,000 acres), 
3.  Big Sandy Lake, Saskatchewan (12,000 acres), 
4.  Maurice Creek, Saskatchewan (2,250 acres), 
5.  Rene Lake, Alberta (34,160 acres), and 
6.  Maybelle North, Alberta. (23,405 acres). 



The optionors of Declan's option to purchase the DR Property Group are 877384
Alberta Ltd. ("877384") and Jody Dahrouge ("Dahrouge") as joint optionors (the
"Optionors"). In order to earn an undivided 100% interest in the DR Property
Group, Declan must make the following cash payments, share issuances and
exploration expenditures:


Cash Payments:



1.  $50,000 on execution of the option agreement; 
2.  $75,000 on the first anniversary of the TSX Venture Exchange approval
    date; 
3.  $75,000 on the second anniversary of the TSX Venture Exchange approval
    date; and 
4.  $100,000 on the third anniversary of the TSX Venture Exchange approval
    date. 



Share Issuances:



1.  2,500,000 common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange approval date; 
2.  2,500,000 common shares on the first anniversary of the TSX Venture
    Exchange approval date; and 
3.  2,500,000 common shares on the second anniversary of the TSX Venture
    Exchange approval date. 



Exploration Expenditures:

An aggregate of $1,500,000 of expenditures on the Davidson River Property of which:



1.  $500,000 are to be expended prior to December 31, 2014; 
2.  $500,000 are to be expended prior to December 31, 2015; and 
3.  $500,000 are to be expended prior to December 31, 2016. 



Declan's option agreement does not include the rights to limestone, dolomite and
building stone. The Optionors retain a 2.5% gross overriding royalty on
production from the DR Property Group. Declan may repurchase 1% of the GORR for
$1.5 million for a period of five years from the date of execution of the option
agreement. Dahrouge Geological Consulting Inc. will act as operator on the DR
Property Group.


The Davidson River Property encompasses 65,000 acres located immediately south
of the Athabasca Basin, along the Saskatchewan-Alberta border. It is contiguous
to the west of Aldrin's 'Triple M' Property and contiguous to the south of
NexGen's 'King' Property. The property is also situated about 25 km southwest of
the Shea Creek Uranium deposits, southeast of the Dragon Zone Uranium Deposit at
Maybelle River, Alberta, and between 18 to 38 km due west of the Patterson Lake
South Uranium occurrence. Exploration highlights from the region include:




--  Fission Uranium Corp. at Patterson Lake South - more than 200 drill
    holes containing significant, basement hosted, uranium mineralization
    within a 2.24 km strike length of an ENE trending cooridor;  
    
--  NexGen Energy Ltd.'s Arrow Discovery, which consists of basement hosted
    uranium mineralization along a 470 strike length. To date wide intervals
    of strongly radioactive basement rocks, have returned values including
    29 meters of 1.04% U3O8; 
    
--  UEX Corporation's Shea Creek Joint Venture with reported Indicated
    Mineral Resources of 67.7 million lbs at 1.484% U3O8, and Inferred
    Mineral Resources of 28.2 million lbs at 1.005% U3O8. 



The northern part of the Davidson River Property lies in close proximity to the
southernmost edge of the exposed Athabasca Basin unconformity; and as such, is
considered highly prospective for shallow, near-surface, uranium occurences. At
the property, surface exposures of pelitic and grantic gneisses of the West
Lloyd Domain are in contact with the Clearwater Domain to the east, while much
of the southern and central part of the property include both Devonian,
Cretaceous and recent cover.


A 1978 regional lake sediment sampling program covering in excess of 1 million
acres across the southwest margins of the Athabasca Basin, included the
collection of several samples from the property. Of the more than 300 samples
collected from the region, the Davidson River Property contained the greatest
uranium in lake sediment anomaly (21 pmm Uranium), with additional uranium and
nickel geochemical anomalies.


During 2006, a MegaTEM Survey covered the north and northeast parts of the
property. It identified a number of conductors or conducive zones orientated in
an approximately north to northwest direction, and which are truncated to the
southeast by the Clearwater Domain. The main conductor appears to be the
southern continuation of the Shearwater Conductor. In turn, this is considered
the southern extension of the Saskatoon Conductor, which is host to the Shea
Creek Uranium deposits. North of the Davidson River Property, limited historic
drilling of the Shearwater Conductor identified a steep dipping graphitic fault
zone, with strong hydrothermal alteration, it returned 127 ppm U across 13.3 m
with significant enrichment in nickel, arsenic and cobalt. David Miller,
President and CEO of Declan comments, "The Davidson River Property is one of the
most prospective uranium projects within the southwestern part of the Athabasca
Basin region. Results of limited historic exploration at the property were
extremely encouraging demonstrating favorable rock types, conductive zones, a
complex structural setting, and strongly anomalous historic uranium
mineralization. Declan is looking forward to aggressively exploring this
property in the coming months."


The Beatty River Property is situated about 30 km north of the Davidson River
Property and covers a several kilometer long VTEM conductor, within a complex
magnetic setting. Depth to basement in this area is estimated at about 400m. The
company considers this property to be highly prospective for uranium
mineralization.


The Big Sandy Lake Property is located within the Wollaston basement domain, 5
km east of the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin. The property was acquired
to cover the up-ice extension of a radioactive boulder field which includes
boulders with up to 4.0% U3O8.


The other properties (Maurice Creek, Maybelle River, and Rene Lake) are
contiguous with the company's existing projects, covering extensions of the same
or similar geology.

Some of the properties are the subject of ongoing litigation between the Vendor
and Fission Uranium Corp., Fission 3.0 Corp. and Fission Energy Corp. A recent
application by the Plaintiffs seeking an interlocutory injunction over the
properties was denied by the courts on July 2, 2014 (
http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/jdb-txt/SC/14/12/2014BCSC1214.htm ). Declan's option
agreement contains an acknowledgement by Delcan that there is a possibility that
a constructive trust claim could be awarded over a portion of the DR Property
Group. In the event that a constructive trust claim is successful, Declan will
seek payment from the Plaintiff, which, at a minimum, is equal to the cash value
of all cash payments, Share payments and Earn-in expenditures made by Declan on
the portion of the DR Property Group which becomes subject to the constructive
trust claim.


Declan's acquisition of the DR Property Group is subject to approval by the TSX
Venture Exchange.
