Walker Increases Interest in Sleeper Lapon Canyon

Walker River Resources Corp. ("Walker" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:WRR) is
pleased to announce that it has increased its interest in the Sleeper Lapon
Canyon lease and property to 100%, effectively removing District Gold Inc. and
World Ventures Inc. as parties to the agreement.


The Sleeper-Lapon Canyon gold project consists of 36 claims (720 acres-292
hectares), situated about 60 kilometres south of Yerington, Nev., in the Wasuk
Range easily accessible by secondary roads from the main highway (25
kilometres). A power transmission line passes within three kilometres of the
property. The Sleeper-Lapon Canyon project is located within the Walker Lane
shear zone, a 100-kilometre-wide structural corridor extending in a southeast
direction from Reno. The past-producing historic Comstock Lode silver/gold mine
is located within this trend, as is the past-producing Esmeralda/Aurora gold
mine, with reported production of about 1.0 million ounces, located 30
kilometres southwest of the project.


The new Nevada Copper gold-copper mine, is located some 30 kilometres north of
the project also within the Wasuk Range. (Pumpkin Hollow, 981, 000 ounces gold,
34 million ounces silver, 5.4 billion pounds copper).


An original agreement was signed with District Gold Inc. and World Ventures Inc.
for the acquisition of 75% of the Lapon Canyon project, under lease to D.R.
Potts (Deceased).


As it has been determined that both District and World Ventures could not
deliver the lease as stipulated, they have entered into a Release Agreement,
whereby District and World Ventures, fully release and discharge Walker from the
original agreement.


In consideration of the Release, Walker has agreed to issue to District 100,000
common shares, and to World Ventures 100,000 shares. On or about February 28,
2015 an additional 50,000 shares each will be issued to both parties.


In addition District and World Ventures retain a 0.5% N.S.R. respectively.

100% of the Sleeper Lapon Canyon lease has been transferred to and registered in
the name of Walker River Resources Corp.


Concurrent with increasing our interest, the company has also entered into an
agreement with the leaseholder removing all work commitments during the term of
the lease in lieu of issuing 200 000 shares of the Company each year for the
term of the lease (4 years). Lease payments are $13500.00 quarterly and the
lease may be cancelled and 100% of the property purchased at any time for $400
000.00. Lease payments made prior to the buyout are credited to the final
payment. The lease is valid till March 1 2017. The leaseholder retains a 0.5%
NSR.


Previous work began in 1907 with the discovery of vein-type gold mineralization
on the Sleeper claims. Approximately 600 metres of underground drifts and adits
were used to explore and access a series of high grade vein-type structures.
From 1914 to 1924, a two-stamp mill was erected, and limited production was
reported. Further limited underground exploration was carried out, returning
numerous assay values in the range of one ounce per ton, with a sample at the
end of an adit returning 20.6 ounces per ton gold (Gruenwald, 1994, National
Instrument 43-101 report dated Feb. 15, 2004, by Dr. J.H. Montgomery, PE eng,
and N. Barr, BSc).


Initial geology and exploration work by Walker began in September under the
supervision of Mr. Tom Evans MSc geology, a registered geologist with over 40
years of experience in the Western United States and Mexico.


Results show that the gold mineralization is located within steeply, dipping,
sheared and altered cross fault structures crossing the Walker Lane Trend.


A grab sample taken near the entrance to the old mine adit returned a value of
0.398 ounces per ton gold (12.8 grams) (treated at ALS/Chemex Labs), and
consisted of altered and sheared rock containing quartz and sulphides. (see news
