NaiKun Wind Energy Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NKW) ("NaiKun" or the "Company") and
Mr. Joseph Houssian, a director and insider of the Company, are pleased to
announce that, following receipt of approval of the Company's disinterested
shareholders at the Company's annual general and a special meeting held June 26,
2014, it has closed the private placement previously announced on April 25, 2014
of the sale of 10,000,000 units (the "Units") to Joseph Houssian, a director of
the Company. The 10,000,000 Units were issued at a price of $0.07 per Unit for
gross proceeds of $700,000 with each Unit consisting of one common share of the
Company (a "Common Share") and 0.75 common share purchase warrant (each whole
warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle Mr. Houssian, the holder,
to acquire a Common Share at the exercise price of $0.10 per share until July

NaiKun intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate
purposes, including working capital, to further the development of the Haida
Energy Field Project.

prescribed four month hold and restricted trading period pursuant to applicable

has been advised that Mr. Houssian acquired the Shares for investment purposes
and may acquire additional Shares or could dispose of Shares as he sees fit,
subject to applicable securities trading and disclosure rules and regulations. A

About NaiKun Wind

NaiKun Wind is a British Columbia-based renewable energy company. Located on
B.C.'s northwest coast, where the wind resource is one of the strongest and most
consistent in the world, NaiKun Wind's 396MW offshore wind project would
generate enough energy to provide electricity to 130,000 B.C. homes. If the
project does proceed it is expected to result in an estimated 500 jobs during
construction, 50 permanent jobs for maintenance and operations and over $400
million in direct expenditures in the province during construction, of which
$250 million will benefit North Coast communities.


The NaiKun Wind project is at an advanced stage of development with
environmental approvals from the Provincial and Federal Governments and
agreements in place with key suppliers and First Nations. Given its development
status, construction can begin within two years of the award of an electricity
purchase agreement. For more information on NaiKun Wind, please visit
