ZAD Zadar Ventures Ltd

Zadar Ventures Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ZAD)(FRANKFURT:ZAV) is pleased
to provide a Corporate update, 2013 year in review and preview of an exciting
2014. Zadar spent 2013 with a generative focus, and finished the year with the
completion of the purchase of 100% of five (5) advanced Athabasca Basin Uranium
exploration projects (previously owned and developed by Triex Mineral
Corporation). Zadar completed its inaugural on-the-ground uranium exploration
programs on the Company's Patterson Lake NE (PNE) Uranium Project, built out the
management team and completed a $933,000 financing. With these accomplishments
met, Zadar looks forward to an exploration driven 2014 focused on discovery.


Zadar is confident that the fundamentals of uranium economics/exploration and
the Company's quality portfolio of Athabasca Basin Uranium assets will combine
with the current surge in Athabasca uranium discoveries to make 2014 the best
yet for the shareholders. 


The year 2013 saw Zadar complete the acquisition of a 100% interest in five (5)
advanced uranium exploration projects (67,561 hectares) in the prospective
Athabasca Basin namely: 




--  Pasfield Lake Uranium Project 
--  West Carswell Uranium Project 
--  Stony Road Uranium Project 
--  Riverlake Uranium Project 
--  Highrock Uranium Project



These 5 projects represent the uranium exploration package that was created and
advanced by Triex Minerals Corporation ("Triex") during the 2000's that
culminated in more than $17 million in exploration expenditures and historical
data compilation, resulting in an impressive project dataset, to which Zadar now
holds 100% interest. The value of the historical data compilation and
exploration work conducted on these projects under the guidance of Dr. Michael
Gunning. Ph.D, P.Geo. cannot be understated. Dr. Gunning has a proven track
record of uranium discovery in the Athabasca Basin, and this package of projects
represents high priority, advanced exploration targets Dr. Gunning personally
developed during his management of Triex Explorations.


Zadar has begun a detailed, project by project data analysis and is developing a
series of prioritized drill targets on each of the five (5) "Triex" projects. In
particular, modeling of geophysical and structural data, including 2007-2009
Triex diamond drilling results on the Pasfield Lake Uranium Project has produced
compelling exploration targets that the Company looks forward to advancing.
Similarly, the other four projects contain uranium targets that are partially
tested, or untested, and it is anticipated that ongoing analysis and integration
of the technical data will refine drill targets. Zadar may consider joint
venturing a number of the projects within its portfolio once the current data
compilation is completed.


In 2013 Zadar also acquired a 100% interest in another three (3) strategically
positioned uranium projects (28,376 hectares) in the Athabasca Basin. 




--  PNE Uranium Project 
--  BullRun B, C & E Uranium Project 
--  Upper Poulton Uranium Project



The PNE and BullRun B, C & E projects are located in the quickly developing
Patterson Lake South district, Southwest Athabasca Basin. Zadar conducted a
series of on-the-ground geophysical/geochemical/geological programs and
evaluations on the PNE Uranium Project this past season. The PNE project lies
within a large basin scale NE trending gravity low structural corridor that
encompasses the former Cluff Lake uranium mine, the Shea Creek uranium deposits,
and the recently discovered high-grade uranium mineralization found at the
Patterson Lake South project. The PNE project shares a common boundary with the
Patterson Lake North project (Fission Uranium Corp. (50%) - Azincourt Uranium
Inc. (50%)) where the discovery of an approx. 8 km long conductor trend was
recently announced on ground immediately adjoining the PNE project. In the same
news release (October 8, 2013), Fission Uranium, the operator of the Patterson
Lake North project, announced an exploration budget of $1.5 million that
includes 2,500-3,000 metres of winter 2014 diamond drilling. This is an
extremely positive development and enhances Zadar's belief that the PNE project
has a high discovery potential for an unconformity or basement hosted uranium
deposit at shallow depths, based on lithology, structure, alteration and
historical boulder sampling. The BullRun B, C and E claims are favourably
located geologically; on or along strike of electromagnetic conductor systems;
along major faults or fault zones (with intersecting smaller scale faults); and
within a few kilometres up to a few tens of kilometres from known uranium
mineralization.


The Upper Poulton Lake project is located in the prolific eastern Athabasca
Basin approx. 21km SE of the Cigar Lake uranium mine. Previous exploration on
this ground (Cameco and others) has identified a series of shallow, northeast
trending subsurface conductors, coincident with the Bird Lake Fault.. The
Company is excited about the targets as the higher grade and larger deposits at
McArthur River, Cigar Lake and Key Lake have a direct association with graphitic
conductors. First pass drilling by Cameco at Upper Poulton Lake revealed clear
evidence of hydrothermal alteration and a large, 2.5 km wide illite, U and
Pb-enriched boulder train partly covers the trace of the fault as well as a
portion of an adjacent magnetic high.


Coincident with the acquisition of the ex-Triex projects, the Company was able
to build out its management team through the addition of two individuals with a
solid expertise in uranium exploration and development; Jeremy S. Brett M.Sc.,
P.Geo. (Advisor to Board) brings the technical geophysical knowledgebase to the
Zadar team (and has taken the lead with the ongoing data compilation program
Zadar is undertaking) and Paul D. Gray, P.Geo. (President) rounded out the team
bringing a hands-on uranium exploration and development background to the Board.


In December 2013 - January 2014, Zadar completed a $2.093 million in financing
consisting of $933,000 first tranche equity financing and looks forward to
finalizing $1.16 million placement by GRIT. This placement will allow the
Company to proceed to concentrate on developing and testing the drill targets
identified within the 100% owned stable of quality Athabasca Basin Uranium
projects.
