  TSXv: LK FSE:6LL OTCQX: LRESF Lakeland Resources Inc. Announces Commencement of Drilling at Star / Gibbons Creek Uranium Properties   Vancouver, January 27, 2015 – Lakeland Resources Inc. (TSXv: LK; FSE: 6LL; OTCQX: LRESF) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce drilling has begun at its Star/ Gibbons Creek properties where a minimum 1,500 metre Phase I diamond drilling program will take place. The property is located along the north central edge of the Athabasca Basin in Northern Saskatchewan, near the community of Stony Rapids. Exploration by the Company in 2013 and 2014 confirmed the exploration potential of the Star and Gibbons Creek Properties. The key objectives of the program are:  Follow up historic drill holes including GC-15 (0.18% U3O8 over 13 cm), and along strike of a prominent east-west resistivity low. Multiple holes in the area encountered anomalous uranium and nickel (over 200 ppm uranium at the unconformity) and extensive basement alteration.  Investigate the resistivity low anomaly and magnetic contact up-ice from the radioactive boulder-field.  Investigate structural and geological setting of gold mineralization (multiple surface samples from 1 to 5.7 g/t Au) at the Star Property. “We are very pleased to announce Lakeland’s Phase I drill program on the Star/Gibbons Creek properties is underway. The augmentation of historic exploration data with recent exploration results for these properties, coupled with a modern understanding of uranium mineralization in the basin has greatly enhanced the potential of this Phase I drill program.” Jonathan Armes, President and CEO of Lakeland Resources Inc. stated. “The Company is well funded to carry out exploration on a number of its wholly owned Basin properties, and we expect a very busy and exciting year.” About the Star Property: The Star Property benefits from significant historic exploration, including modern geophysics and drilling completed by Star Minerals in 2005 to 2008; and work by Eldorado Nuclear in the 1970’s and 1980’s. The Property is considered highly prospective for U, Au, PGE’s and REE mineralization. It also benefits from nearby infrastructure, with power lines and road access.

  TSXv: LK FSE:6LL OTCQX: LRESF During 2014, exploration expanded upon the Gold, Platinum Group Element (“PGE”) and Rare Earth Element (“REE”) results discovered in the fall of 2013. The 2013 sampling explored a small portion of the uplifted basement outcrop on the Star Property. Anomalous concentrations of gold (up to 5.7 g/t Au), platinum group elements (0.75 g/t PGE’s), rare earth elements (up to 6.9% TREO) and highly anomalous uranium; suggest the presence of a robust hydrothermal system. Lakeland has earned a 100% interest in the Star Property by making cash payments totaling $60,000 and issuing 600,000 common shares. A vendor buyback option is in place and will be exercisable at any time up to a 90 day period following the completion and publication of a 43- 101 compliant resource estimate. The Vendor will retain the option of a 25% buyback for 4 times the exploration monies spent by the Purchaser to the date that the buyback option is exercised. About the Gibbons Creek Property: The Gibbons Creek Property is comprised of five contiguous claims totaling 12,771 hectares, located to the west of the community of Stony Rapids. The Property is adjacent to the Black Lake Project, held jointly by Uracan Resources Ltd. and UEX Corporation. The Gibbons Creek Property encompasses a portion of the Company’s 100% owned, 35,463 hectare Riou Lake Property. The Property benefits from nearby infrastructure, with power lines and highways transecting the claims. The depth to the unconformity at Gibbons Creek is known to be shallow (ie. ~50 to 250 metres) increasing the economics of exploration. The Gibbons Creek Property also benefits from significant historic exploration information from work completed by UEX Corp. as well as Eldorado Nuclear (one of the two predecessors to what is now Cameco). As previously announced in its January 8th, 2014 news release, Lakeland has generated several drill targets at Gibbons Creek based on fall, 2013 exploration including a land-based RadonEX™ survey, a boulder prospecting survey and a DC-Resistivity survey. This exploration resulted in the discovery of highly anomalous radon values, the confirmation of high-grade boulders of up to 4.28% U3O8, and the definition of an east-west resistivity low, interpreted as an alteration corridor.
