Olivut Resources Ltd. Funding Update

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 18, 2013) - Olivut Resources Ltd. ("Olivut" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:OLV) is pleased to provide a funding update.

The terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated March 12, 2013, between The Canadian Special Opportunity Fund, L.P. ("CSOF") and Olivut provide the flexibility to alter tranche financing based on cash flow requirements and current market conditions. Therefore, Olivut has elected to reduce the funding at this time to avoid unnecessary dilution at current stock prices. Accordingly, no securities will be issued to repay the $52,000 tranche financing advanced on November 15, 2013 and these advanced funds will be used to offset additional funding for the same amount requested on December 13, 2013. The share issuance date for this tranche is anticipated to be January 13, 2013. There were no shares issued to CSOF in the Company's financial quarter ended October 31, 2013.

Copies of the qualifying base shelf prospectus dated March 11, 2013, the prospectus supplement dated March 12, 2013 and specific Pricing Supplements for securities issued are available on SEDAR. These documents, as well as any documents incorporated therein by reference may be obtained on request without charge from Olivut, at its offices located at 27010 Highway 16, 14 Mountain Park Properties, Jasper East, Alberta, or by faxing a written request to (780) 866-3713, by mail to P.O. Box 6690 Hinton, Alberta T7V 1X8 or by accessing the disclosure documents available through the internet on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) website at www.sedar.com. Unless provided otherwise in a pricing supplement, the following is a description of a purchaser's statutory rights:

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revision of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment are not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province. However, such rights and remedies will not be available to purchasers of common shares distributed under the prospectus supplement because the prospectus, the prospectus supplement and the relevant pricing supplement will not be delivered to purchasers, as permitted under a decision document issued by the Alberta Securities Commission on December 5, 2012. The securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for recession or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages, if the prospectus and any amendment contain a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for recession, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province. Such remedies remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the prospectus permitted under the decision documents referred to above. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

On December 16, 2013 the Company filed the audited Financial Statements as at and for the Years Ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended October 31, 2013.
