CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 26, 2014) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Northern Aspect Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NTH.H) (the "Corporation"), a capital pool company, announces that it has completed the non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of common shares announced on June 5, 2014, as amended, as announced on July 17, 2014.

The Private Placement, which included certain insiders of the Corporation, is comprised of 2,350,000 common shares ("Common Shares") of the Corporation at a price of $0.05 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $117,500.

All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing of the Private Placement.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used towards identifying and evaluating businesses and assets with a view to completing a "Qualifying Transaction" and for general working capital purposes.

Under the Private Placement, Brian Hinchcliffe, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation purchased 1,000,000 Common Shares and now owns and controls approximately 27.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares; John Thomson, Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation purchased 400,000 Common Shares and now owns and controls approximately 11.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares; Harry Dobson, a director of the Corporation indirectly purchased 500,000 Common Shares and now owns or controls approximately 18.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares; and Mike Sutton, a director of the Corporation purchased 400,000 Common Shares and now owns or controls approximately 10.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Their participation in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transaction ("MI 61-101"), which has been adopted by the TSX Venture Exchange pursuant to its Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transaction. This transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of such instrument and policy, pursuant to the distribution of securities for cash, fair market value not more than $2,500,000 and financial hardship exemptions as set forth in MI 61-101. Additionally, the NEX has exempted the Corporation from its requirement to obtain shareholder approval in connection with the Private Placement.

The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement as the details of the participation therein by related parties of the Corporation were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Private Placement and the Corporation wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
