Zadar Acquires BullRun Uranium Project adjoining AREVA/NexGen in Patterson Lake Area, Athabasca Basin

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/17/13 -- Zadar Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: ZAD) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a purchase agreement with an arm's length vendor to acquire a 100% interest in the BullRun uranium project, located in the prolific southwestern Athabasca Basin,. The BullRun project comprises 3 claim groups totaling 9,185 hectares. All three properties are favourably located geologically; 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 zones.

Block A (approx. 4,515 ha) is located 30 kilometres north of the Patterson Lake South uranium discovery (Fission Energy Corp./Alpha Minerals Inc.) and 40 kilometres south of the Shea Creek uranium deposit (UEX Corp./AREVA), the largest undeveloped uranium resource in the Athabasca Basin (http://www.uex-corporation.com/s/shea_creek.asp?ReportID=477100). The claims lie just east of the all-weather Highway 955, which runs north to the former Cluff Lake mine (+ 60 million pounds of U3O8 produced).

Block B (approx. 3,138 ha) is located 50 kilometres east of the Patterson Lake uranium discovery and 50 kilometres west of the Centennial uranium deposit (Cameco/AREVA/Coronation Mines). This McArthur River style uranium deposit is currently under active exploration and development (http://www.formationmetals.com/s/VirginRiver.asp).

Block C (approx. 1,532 ha) is located 12 kilometres west of the Centennial uranium deposit.

The company will pay $15,000 cash, issue 550,000 shares and commit to spend $150,000 on exploration over 3 years. This acquisition is subject to TSX Venture approval. There will be a finder's fee payable in accordance to TSX Venture guide lines.

The Company would like to correct the project name in relation to the proximity of a Fission Energy property used in its press release dated April 9th from "Fission Energy Corp.'s Clearwater West project" to "Fission Energy Corp.'s Richmond Lake Project". Please see map on website for details.
