CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - July 21, 2015) -

(NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

Northern Aspect Resources Ltd. (NEX: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 29, 2015.

The Private Placement, which included certain insiders of the Corporation, is comprised of 2,000,000 common shares ("Common Shares") of the Corporation at a price of $0.15 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000.

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 with a view to completing a "Qualifying Transaction" and for general working capital purposes.

Under the Private Placement, Michael Sutton, a director of the Corporation purchased 90,000 Common Shares under the Private Placement and now owns and controls approximately 8.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and Harry Dobson, a founder of the Corporation, indirectly purchased 190,000 Common Shares under the Private Placement and now owns or controls approximately 15.7% 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 Transactions ("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 Transactions. 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 spouse of Brian Hinchcliffe, the President and CEO and a director of the Corporation, purchased 75,000 Common Shares under the Private Placement, which represents approximately 1.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Mr. Hinchcliffe owns and controls 1,100,000 Common shares, representing approximately 18.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The Corporation 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.
