CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 31, 2015) -

(NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

Northern Aspect Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NTH.H) ("NARL" or the "Corporation"), a capital pool company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding definitive share exchange agreement dated August 31, 2015 (the "Definitive Agreement") with Blockchain Tech Ltd. ("BTL"), to provide for the completion of a business combination with BTL (the "Transaction"), as more particularly described below. The Transaction was initially announced in a NARL press release dated June 17, 2015, indicating NARL and BTL had entered into a binding letter of intent in respect of the Transaction.

The Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions as set forth in the Definitive Agreement, including (among other things) the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). If completed, the Transaction will constitute the "Qualifying Transaction" of NARL, as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the Exchange.

The Transaction

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, NARL will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of BTL from its shareholders in exchange for 5,000,000 common shares of the Corporation at the closing of the Transaction for aggregate deemed consideration of $750,000. Upon completion of the Transaction, BTL will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation and the Corporation will change its name to "Blockchain Tech Ltd." or such other name as the parties may reasonably agree upon. The combined entity (the "Resulting Issuer") will continue the business of BTL.

The Transaction is conditional upon, among other things:

1. the confirmation of representations and warranties of each of NARL and BTL as set out in the Definitive Agreement being true and correct at the closing of the Transaction;
   
   
2. the absence of any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), of the assets of each of the parties;
   
   
3. the parties receiving all requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the Exchange, and any third party approvals and authorizations;
   
   
4. BTL obtaining the requisite shareholder approvals for the Transaction;
   
   
5. the parties obtaining requisite board approvals for the Transaction;
   
   
6. each of the parties required by the Exchange entering into an escrow agreement upon the terms and conditions imposed pursuant to the policies of the Exchange;
   
   
7. NARL completing one or more private placement financings for minimum aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $1,700,000; and
   
   
8. the Resulting Issuer meeting the applicable Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange as a Technology Issuer (pursuant to Policy 2.1 - Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange), including, without limitation, the public float requirements.

Sponsorship of a Qualifying Transaction of a capital pool company is required by the Exchange unless an exemption or waiver from sponsorship requirement is available. NARL has applied for and obtained an exemption from the sponsorship requirements pursuant to the policies of the Exchange.

The Transaction will constitute an arm's-length transaction, and as such, the Transaction will not require approval by the shareholders of NARL. NARL is preparing and will submit a filing statement in connection with the Transaction in due course.

NARL Loan

In accordance with Section 8.5 of Policy 2.4 of the Exchange and with approval of the Exchange, NARL and BTL have entered into an agreement whereby NARL agreed to advance a loan of CAD$41,000 to BTL (the "Loan"). The Loan is evidenced by a promissory note and bears no interest. BTL has agreed to use the proceeds of the Loan to pay for general and administrative costs and costs and expenses associated with the development of its business.
