GREENWOOD VILLAGE, COLORADO -- (Marketwired - Oct 29, 2014) - Powertech Uranium Corp. (now Azarga Uranium Corp.) (TSX:PWE) ("Azarga Uranium", "Powertech" or the "Company") has completed the merger with Azarga Resources Ltd. ("Azarga Resources") in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement dated 25 February 2014, as amended, between the Company and Azarga Resources (the "Transaction") and the private placement financing for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million (the "Financing"). In connection with the closing of the Transaction and the Financing, the Company has changed its name from "Powertech Uranium Corp." to "Azarga Uranium Corp." (the "Name Change") and completed a consolidation of its outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation share for ten (10) pre-consolidation shares (the "Consolidation").

The Company is expected to commence trading under its new name, stock symbol "AZZ" on a post-consolidation basis on 31 October 2014, subject to confirmation by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The TSX is expected to issue a bulletin confirming the date on which the securities of the Company will commence trading under the new stock symbol and giving effect to the Name Change and Consolidation.

The Company advises that the closing conditions for the Transaction have been fulfilled pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement dated 25 February 2014, as amended, whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Azarga Resources in exchange for common shares of Powertech.

Concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, the Company closed its Financing, which was previously announced on 10 September 2014. The Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million pursuant to the Financing through the issuance of 8,338,134 post-Consolidation units ("Units"), each Unit consisting of one post-Consolidation common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one post-Consolidation common share at an exercise price of $1.00 per share until 28 October 2016. Accounting for the Consolidation adjustment, the Units subscribed for pursuant to the Financing were subscribed for at $0.60 per Unit. Finder's fees in connection with the Financing comprised of $145,617 and 242,696 post-Consolidation shares. The net proceeds of the Financing have been released from escrow.

On closing of the Transaction, the Financing and the Consolidation (the "Closing"), 59,403,732 common shares will be issued and outstanding (other than shares to be surrendered for cancellation by Azarga Resources and 360,661 post-Consolidation shares to be issued on settlement of deferred compensation).
