TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 22, 2015) - Honey Badger Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TUF) ("Honey Badger" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval for the acquisition of the LG Diamonds Project as announced by Honey Badger on September 29, 2015. The 45 claims, totaling approximately 2,275 hectares, are located in the James Bay region of Québec, in the Jamésie County Municipality, close to road and power lines.

Quentin Yarie, President & CEO, commented: "We are excited to add the LG Diamonds Project to Honey Badger's project portfolio. The project is in the diamond-rich zone that hosts Renard, Québec's new diamond mine. Magnetic anomalies on each of the 7 claim blocks that make up this property indicate prospective kimberlite targets and kimberlite indicators have been found in lake sediments near these magnetic anomalies. Our team is undertaking an aggressive campaign to model all historic geophysical data, complete a detailed magnetic survey of identified targets, prioritize targets, and conduct a drill program."
