ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, March 30, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Fieldex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: FLX) (Frankfurt: F7E1) is pleased to announce that on March 28, 2018, the TSX Venture Exchange conditionally approved the previously-announced reverse take-over (the "Reverse Take-over") of Fieldex by Idénergie Inc. ("Idénergie"), the proposed "spin-out" (the "Spin-out") of all of Fieldex's assets (except for cash and marketable securities having an aggregate value of $303,400 and the Lac Sairs rare earth property of Fieldex) and all of its liabilities to QUAD Resources Inc. ("QUAD"), and the listing of Idenergy Corporation's (the issuer resulting from the Reverse Take-over ("New Idenergy")) common shares and QUAD's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, subject only to compliance with standard requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange. Any failure by New Idenergy or QUAD to comply with the standard requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange would result in the New Idenergy common shares and QUAD common shares, respectively, not being listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Reverse Take-over with Idénergie, the Spin-out with QUAD and related matters are subject to approval by Fieldex's shareholders and will be voted on at Fieldex's annual and special meeting to be held at the offices of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, 800 Square Victoria, Suite 3700, Montreal, Québec H4Z 1E9, on May 8, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (eastern time) (the "Meeting").  Shareholders of record of Fieldex on March 26, 2018 will receive notice of and be entitled to vote at the Meeting, and are being mailed a copy of the management information circular of Fieldex (the "Circular") and related voting materials (collectively, the "Meeting Materials").

Shareholders are urged to read the Circular and its schedules carefully and in their entirety.
