VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - July 5, 2016) - GoviEx Uranium Inc. (CSE:GXU) ("GoviEx") announced today that it has been conditionally approved for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). As a result of the acceptance from the TSX-V, GoviEx intends to transfer its listing from the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") to the TSX-V on, or about, July 11, 2016, and will concurrently delist from the CSE. GoviEx's trading symbol, GXU, will remain the same.

Daniel Major, CEO of GoviEx, commented, "We believe that the timing is appropriate for a growing company like GoviEx to migrate its listing to the TSX-V. Following the recent successful completion of our transaction with Denison Mines Corp., GoviEx now controls one of the largest uranium resource bases among publicly listed companies. With such a potentially significant strategic resource base, it is incumbent upon us to increase our investor exposure and we believe that the TSX-V listing will provide a more visible and liquid market for our shares, especially for investors outside of Canada."

GoviEx also is pleased to announce that it has retained Renmark Financial Communications Inc. to provide investor relations services targeted at increasing the company's visibility amongst potential shareholders in North America. Renmark is a leading, full-service investor relations firm representing publicly traded companies listed on all major North American markets. GoviEx's contract with Renmark is initially for six months, and can be extended monthly by mutual agreement. In consideration of the services to be provided, the company has agreed to pay Renmark a monthly retainer of C$5,000, starting July 1, 2016.

Renmark does not have any interest, directly or indirectly, in GoviEx or its securities, or any right or intent to acquire such an interest.
