Exgen Resources Inc. Updated DOK Property Status

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - August 08, 2016) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

ExGen Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EXG) (OTC PINK: BXXRF) (the "Company", or "ExGen") is pleased to announce it has entered into an amending agreement with the optionors of the DOK property to amend (the "Amendment") the option terms for the DOK property, which was initiated in May 2011 (see ExGen Press Release dated May 26, 2011).

The DOK property consists of approximately 26,365 acres and is located between the Schaft Creek and Galore Creek copper deposits to the south and the active exploration currently underway north of the Stikine River.

ExGen further reports that it has regained control of the DOK project from Continental Precious Minerals ("Continental"). Continental has elected to withdraw from its option which was initiated in April 2014 (see ExGen Press Release dated April 14, 2014), and as a result, Continental has no further interest in the DOK project.

The Company advises that pursuant to the Amendment the Company will make the following payments to the Optionors:

1. $16,000 on execution of the Amendment;
2. $20,000 on or before the first anniversary of the Amendment;
3. $40,000 on or before the second anniversary of the Amendment;
4. $50,000 on or before the third anniversary of the Amendment; and
5. $90,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of the Amendment.

In addition, ExGen has agreed that if we sub-option DOK to another party prior to the completion of the payment of all of the cash payments noted above, then ExGen shall pay to the Optionees an amount equal to all of the cash option fees that ExGen receives from the Sub-Optionor pursuant to the sub-option agreement, until the full amount of all cash payments required above have been paid in full.

ExGen was also granted a 3 year extension from (April 30, 2017 to April 30, 2020) for the remaining $500,000 of exploration and development expenditures required to exercise the option and acquire 100% of DOK.

The 2014 drilling program, which consisted of 2 holes totalling 834.9m, and located 400m apart, demonstrated the presence of widespread porphyry copper style mineralization on the DOK property (see Press Release dated October 16, 2014).

"We are excited to have the DOK project returned to us after the significant drill program that was completed by Continental in 2014. We would like to thank Continental for their interest in the DOK project. We are now in the process of conducting a systematic review of the property with a view to determining the best strategic path forward," stated President and CEO, Jason Riley.
