AUV

Augyva Mining Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AUV) ("Augyva") has submitted a
revised financing proposal to Niocan Inc. (TSX:NIO) ("Niocan"), whereby Augyva
proposes to subscribe for 3,076,923 units of Niocan at a price per unit of
$1.30, which represents a 22.6% premium to the closing price of Niocan's common
shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on June 24, 2011, for aggregate gross
proceeds to Niocan of $4 million, the whole by way of a private placement
financing. Under the terms of the revised proposed private placement, each unit
would consist of one common share in the capital of Niocan and one-half of one
common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant would entitle Augyva to
purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $1.35 per share for
a period of 24 months.


The revised proposed private placement is subject only to the negotiation of a
definitive subscription agreement and the approval of the Toronto Stock
Exchange. The closing of the proposed private placement is not subject to Niocan
shareholder approval or to any due diligence investigation by Augyva.


Commenting, Augyva's president and chief executive officer, Georges-Yvan Gagnon,
said: "We still sincerely believe that Augyva's revised superior financing
proposal offers a significant premium than the one contemplated among Niocan and
Forbes & Manhattan, Inc., as disclosed by Niocan in a press release dated May 4,
2011. Augyva's revised proposal is not subject to any conditions other than the
execution of a subscription agreement and regulatory approval, and no due
diligence review from our part shall be required. Accordingly, Augyva's revised
offer, including the improved pricing, maximizes Niocan shareholder value. 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 sign a definitive subscription agreement no later than June 29,
2011, at noon.
