Virginia Energy Announces Clarification of Technical Disclosure and Revision of Coles Hill 43-101 Technical Report

Virginia Energy Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VUI)(OTCQX:VEGYF) ("Virginia Energy"
or the "Company") announces that as a result of a review by the British Columbia
Securities Commission, Virginia Energy is issuing the following news release to
clarify the technical disclosure on its website. In addition, problems were
identified in the most recent Coles Hill 43-101 Technical Report, which has been
revised and will be re-posted shortly. 


The Company filed a technical report dated September 6, 2012 titled "NI 43-101
Preliminary Economic Assessment Update, Coles Hill Uranium Property,
Pittsylvania County, Virginia, United States of America" by Lyntek Inc. and BRS
Engineering" in support of a listing application dated August 31, 2012. The
technical report did not comply with the requirements of NI 43-101 and Form
43-101F1 because it incorrectly included wording that "the preliminary economic
assessment...indicates that the portion of the (indicated) mineral resource...is
economic under current conditions". This wording is misleading as it contradicts
the definition of a PEA and the cautionary language required by NI 43-101.
Furthermore, including this statement under the "Mineral Reserves" section
appears to imply that the indicated resource estimate has economic viability and
treats the quantities as reserves. In addition, the Technical Report uses the
word "ore" in several instances, which implies technical feasibility and
economic viability that should only be attributed to mineral reserves. 


The report was revised by Lyntek Inc. and BRS Engineering on August 19, 2013 in
accordance with NI 43-101, including the cautionary statement that mineral
resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic
viability. A revised and re-stated version will be posted to the Company's
website and SEDAR profile within 5 days. 


With respect to the Company's disclosure of the Coles Hill PEA on its website
and corporate presentations, the economic analysis appears unbalanced because
the Company discloses upside uranium price sensitivity without providing equal
downside sensitivity. These references have been removed from the website and
replaced with the following wording:


"a change of US$5 per pound in uranium selling prices causes the project NPV to
rise or fall by US$110 M"


The Company's website, fact sheets and presentations had described the Company's
Coles Hill project using terms other than applicable resource categories.
Furthermore, the Company discloses a measured & indicated resource of 133
million pounds, which is misleading because the Company does not have any
measured resources. 


Accordingly, the Company has removed various statements and clarified its
mineral resources disclosure on its website. The uranium resource estimate on
its Coles Hill Property is as follows: 


Total Indicated Mineral Resources

Uranium Property, effective June 30, 2012, revised and re-issued on or about

In each reference to the mineral resources, the Company has included the
following cautionary statement required under NI 43-101: "mineral resources are
not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability." 


Finally, on the Company's website, the Company discloses resources of properties
adjacent to its Otish Properties, Quebec solely in the form of metal content.

Proterozoic Otish Basin located in central Quebec. The Virginia properties have
numerous high-grade uranium prospects similar to the nearby Matoush deposit of
Strateco Resources Inc., the Seru L zone (or Lavoie) deposit of SOQUEM/AREVA,
and Cameco's South Otish (Camie River) property."
