GoviEx Appoints Endeavour Financial as Financial Advisor

GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSXV: GXU) (OTCQB: GVXXF) ("GoviEx" or "Company"), is pleased to announced today the appointment of Endeavour Financial to provide financial advisory services with respect to GoviEx's mine permitted Madaouela uranium project in the Republic of Niger (the "Madaouela Project").

Daniel Major, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We look forward to working with the Endeavour Financial in developing the optimum financing solution for the Madaouela Project. Endeavour Financial provides a full service approach towards the financial advisory role including support on debt advisory, offtake finance and technical and environmental guidance. Endeavour Financial's track record in mine financing and especially in developing jurisdictions including Africa speaks for itself and their decision to work with GoviEx I believe underlines the quality of the Madaouela Project. We expect that ultimately production financing will be some combination of debt, royalties or streaming, and equity, with a focus on keeping the equity portion as low as possible."

David Rhodes, Managing Director of Endeavour Financial, commented, "Endeavour Financial is delighted to be able to work with the GoviEx team to evaluate and execute financing for the development of this high class asset in Niger, a country that since the 1970's has been a recognised and reliable major uranium producer."

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All information and statements other than statements of current or historical facts contained in this news release are forward-looking information.

Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties concerning the specific factors disclosed here and elsewhere in GoviEx's periodic filings with Canadian securities regulators. When used in this news release, words such as "will", "could", "plan", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "potential", "should," and similar expressions, are forward- looking statements. Information provided in this document is necessarily summarized and may not contain all available material information.

Forward-looking statements include those in relation to, (i) Endeavour Financial in developing the optimum financing solution for the Madaouela Project; and (ii) the nature and extent of project financing, if any, that Endeavour Financial will be able to develop for Goviex.

Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurances that its expectations will be achieved. Such assumptions, which may prove incorrect, include the following: (i) that the Company will be able to secure acceptable project financing for the Madaouela Project; (ii) that the current uranium upcycle will continue and expand; (iii) that the integration of nuclear power into power grids world-wide will continue as a clean energy alternative and increase as dirty carbon baseload is taken off-line; and (iv) that the price of uranium will remain sufficiently high and the costs of advancing the Company's mining projects will remain sufficiently low so as to permit GoviEx to implement its business plans in a profitable manner.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include (i) Endeavour Financial not being able to develop project financing acceptable to GoviEx for the Madaouela Project; (ii) a regression in the uranium market price; (iii) inability or unwillingness to include or increase nuclear power generation by major markets; (iv) potential delays due to COVID-19 restrictions; (v) the failure of the Company's projects, for technical, logistical, labour-relations, or other reasons; (vi) a decrease in the price of uranium below what is necessary to sustain the Company's operations; (vii) an increase in the Company's operating costs above what is necessary to sustain its operations; (viii) accidents, labour disputes, or the materialization of similar risks; (ix) a deterioration in capital market conditions that prevents the Company from raising the funds it requires on a timely basis; and (x) generally, the Company's inability to develop and implement a successful business plan for any reason.

In addition, the factors described or referred to in the section entitled "Risks Factors" in the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2020, of GoviEx, which is available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com, should be reviewed in conjunction with the information found in this news release.

Although GoviEx has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those contained in the forward- looking statements, there can be other factors that cause results, performance, or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated, or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate or that management's expectations or estimates of future developments, circumstances, or results will materialize. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, no assurance can be given that any events anticipated by the forward-looking information in this news release will transpire or occur, or, if any of them do so, what benefits that GoviEx will derive therefrom. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this news release are made as of the date of this news release, and GoviEx disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise such information, except as required by applicable law.
