GoviEx Uranium Inc. ("GoviEx") (CSE:GXU) announced today that the Company has
executed contracts with SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd ("SRK") and Legeni S.A.
("Legeni") to finalize the completion of the Environmental and Social Impact
Assessment ("ESIA") for the Madaouela Project in Niger (the "Project"). 


As stated in its prospectus dated May 8, 2014, GoviEx intends to use the
proceeds of its initial public offering together with existing working capital
to fund the completion of the Madaouela ESIA. The ESIA and the feasibility study
will support GoviEx's mining permit application for the Project located in the
prolific Arlit uranium-mining district of northern Niger. 


"GoviEx's strategy remains focused on adding value and that includes
strategically reducing the risk associated with the Project. The completion of
the ESIA will culminate the detailed feasibility study and environmental work
already undertaken to date," said GoviEx Chief Executive Daniel Major. 


Mr. Major went on to say, "A successful application for the mining license would
provide GoviEx the option to commit additional capital and finalize optimisation
of the Project. Through the use of proprietary technologies never before used in
Niger, our Project team has presented a commercially viable project and one that
seeks to limit its impact on the environment with a particular focus on
limitation of dust, reduction in water usage and commercialization of the
molybdenum by-product resource." 


Industry leading consultant SRK, working with an in-country environmental
partner Legeni, have already completed initial environmental and social (E&S)
works during the previous phases of the Project, as presented in the Technical
Report dated September 20, 2013 and amended on April 28, 2014, titled "An
Updated Integrated Development Plan for the Madaouela Project, Niger" available
on SEDAR. 


The work undertaken by Legeni, with support from SRK, included meetings with
regulatory authorities, including the commencement of primary baseline data
collection (water resources, social, soils, air quality, dry season
flora/fauna), preparation of the initial submission to Nigerien authorities and
identification of likely issues, risks and opportunities for the Project. 


The mandate of SRK and Legeni includes completion of the ESIA by expanding on
previous work and the outcome of discussions with various stakeholders and
regulatory authorities from May 2013. Specifically, the activities will enable
preparation of an ESIA report suitable for submission to the Niger regulatory
authorities with the aim of obtaining environmental approval for a 20-year
extendable mining permit for the Project. The ESIA process is also designed to
support GoviEx in identifying and addressing risks and opportunities associated
with Environmental and Social issues so that these can be appropriately
addressed with detailed engineering design.
