NOVATEQNI PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 31, 2017 – Calgary, Alberta – NovaTeqni Corporation (“ NovaTeqni” or the "Company") (TSXV

- NTQ: OTCQB - NVTQF) is pleased to provide the fo llowing corporate update of its achievements and

upcoming activities.

Elections Technologies

The Company is pleased to report that over the last year it has completed all prototypes for its full suite of

offerings for elections technologies which can also be m odified to be used in the biometrics identification

sector. More than 50 international elections will ta ke place in 2018 with nearly 20 elections taking place

in Africa. In order to be able to react quickly to these opportunities, the completion of the prototypes was

a necessary step. Through its strategi c alliance with partners such as Paarl Media, a division of Novus

Holdings Ltd, Novateqni will be demonstrating and actively marketing its solutions well in advance of

elections. The relationship with Novus Holdings Lt d. a subsidiary of Naspers, commenced with the

partnership for the successful supply of elections technologies in Liberia. Novus provided support,

funding and financial strength for the project undertaken on behalf of the United Nations.

Vodafone and Zambia

In the past year, Novateqni also successfully supplied a Know-Your-Client (“KYC”) system for Vodafone

in Zambia. The KYC system builds on the previously supplied KYC solution provided to MTN, a South

Africa based multinational mobile telecommunications company, and the health registration system for

QProxim in Nigeria. Since the system has been suc cessfully launched and is proven, it will be marketed

globally throughout the ever expanding biometrics and KYC sector.

Tobacco Farmers Management System

Novateqni also delivered Phase 1 of the biometrics enabled Farmers Management System (“FMS”) which

is used in the Tobacco industry in Malawi to a llocate and track crop production as well as license farmers

to produce a specific quota of tobacco. Tobacco produc tion is one of the biggest exports of Malawi.

Phase 2, which will include track and trace of the cr op from production to auctioneers, will commence in

the next couple of months followed bv the incorpor ation of a payments module. The cloud based FMS

system has a number of applications within the agri cultural and similar regulated sectors. Marketing of

the system will now commence in other countries for va rious agricultural applications as well as for use

in the cannabis industry.

Gerhard Mynhardt, CEO of Novateqni stated , “We are very pleased to have completed development

of our elections technologies and excited about ou r relationship with Novus Holdings Ltd for the

marketing of these products. Other partners will also be signed up to promote and market biometrics

identification solutions”.
