Augyva Mining Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AUV)("Augyva") is pleased to announce
that it has submitted today to Niocan Inc. (TSX:NIO)("Niocan") a financing
proposal whereby Augyva proposes to subscribe for 3,478,260 units (the "Units")
of Niocan at a price per Unit of C$1.15, for aggregate gross proceeds to Niocan
of C$4,000,000, the whole by way of a private placement financing (the "Proposed
Private Placement").


Under the terms of the Proposed Private Placement, each Unit would consist of
one (1) common share in the capital of Niocan (a "Common Share") and one-half of
one (1/2) common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant being a "Warrant").
Each Warrant would entitle Augyva to purchase one (1) additional Common Share at
an exercise price of C$1.20 per share for an initial period of 12 months from
the closing of the Proposed Financing and thereafter at an exercise price of
C$1.25 per share for an additional period of 12 months, for a total period of 24
months.


The Proposed Private Placement is be subject to very few conditions. These
conditions include the negotiation of a definitive subscription agreement and
the entitlement to Augyva, as of the date of closing of the Proposed Private
Placement, to have 3 seats out of the 4 seats on the Board of Directors of
Niocan. The closing of the Proposed Private Placement is not subject to any due
diligence investigation by Augyva.


Commenting, Augyva's President and Chief Executive Officer, Georges-Yvan Gagnon,
said: "We sincerely believe that Augyva's financing proposal is a superior
proposal than the one contemplated among Niocan and Forbes & Manhattan, Inc. as
disclosed by Niocan in a press release dated May 4, 2011. Augyva's proposal is
not subject to any significant conditions and no due diligence review from our
part shall be required. We are confident to be able to close the financing
within a very short period of time should Niocan accept our proposal."


Upon acceptance of Augyva's proposal, the parties must close the financing no
later than noon on June 29, 2011.
