GoviEx's common shares attain Depository Trust Company Eligibility

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2017) - GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSXV: GXU) (OTCQB: GVXXF) ("GoviEx" or "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's class A common shares have attained DTC eligibility.

The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of the securities of publicly traded companies in the United States. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered to be "DTC eligible." This electronic method of clearing securities is designed to speed up the receipt of stock and cash during a securities trade, thus accelerating the settlement process for investors trading the Company's shares on the OTCQB.

The OTCQB provides efficient access to U.S. investors, helping Canadian companies build shareholder value with a goal of enhancing liquidity and achieving fair valuation.

Through trading on OTCQB, companies can engage a far greater network of U.S. investor, data distributors, and media partners, ensuring U.S. investors have access to the same high-quality information that is available to investors in Canada, but through U.S. platforms and portals used to conduct research.
