EXMCeuticals Inc. provides Corporate Update
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: September 10, 2019
EXMceuticals Inc. (CSE: EXM) (FSE: A2PAW2) (the “Company” or “EXM”), a cultivator and producer of cannabis extractions and refined ingredients for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, therapeutical and cosmetic industries is very pleased to provide a corporate update following a series of announcements in the last few months.
Addition of cannabis industry leader Tripp Keber
Recently, EXM announced that cannabis industry leader and former Dixie Brands’ CEO Tripp Keber is joining the Company as Strategic Advisor to the Board. Mr. Keber now works closely with the Board of Directors and existing executive management team to assist with the future development of the Company, bringing his significant professional experience and connectivity totalling more than a decade within the industrial cannabis, cannabinoid ingredients and hemp industries.
Significant progress in Portuguese Operations with R&D facility, new project and pilot-scale refinery
The initial operations are now fully installed, staffed and functional. Progress includes new Research and Development (R&D) facility working on new CBD and terpene protocols and research opportunities for various industries. Research projects are already underway as part of the Portugal 2020 grant initiatives.
New strategic initiative with Haywood Securities Inc.
Also, the Company announced it has appointed Haywood Securities Inc. as its Canadian adviser. Haywood is a full-service investment bank that seeks to work with young companies and offers an impressive team of investment banking professionals. EXM has subsequently signed an agreement with Momentum PR who will represent the Company, convey our plans, and engage proactively with investors in Canada.
EXM in Uganda
EXM has commenced the initial test cultivating of cannabis in Uganda and is further developing its nursery operations and farming infrastructure. Nursery activities are currently focused on establishing high CBD content strains that will then grow well in the local environment. Total available cultivatable land is in excess of 2,000 hectares. EXM has already built and installed a fully operational extraction plant which has been tested with harvested cannabis.
“This is a very exciting time for EXM and I’m truly happy with the way things are going,” said Jonathan Summers, Chairman of EXM. “The best part about all these announcements is that this is only the beginning in reaching our short-term milestones,” he added.
Upcoming updates: Portugal activities, GFR & Malawi Cannabis
In addition, EXM’s Portugal team is excited about significant progress that has been achieved in reaching the Company’s technical and scientific objectives in regard to its activities in Portugal. The team is expecting to receive the initial license in September which would allow the Company to import, research and refine cannabinoids within Europe, utilizing the pilot facility that has already been built and staffed. EXM intends to submit the application for a commercial production license shortly. With regard to EXM’s R&D activities we are on the verge of signing a partnership with a leading UK university, in addition to the partnership already in place with Nova University, Lisbon.
EXM is in the process of finalising its planned joint venture with GFR Pharmaceutical. GFR is Canada’s biggest white-label nutraceutical company and the soon-to-be-named joint venture will establish and operate a state-of-the-art production facility to distribute full spectrum hemp oil products across North America. EXM will supply full spectrum hemp oil ingredients to the joint venture on a cost-plus basis and will own 50% of the entity and the products that are created.
With regard to Malawi, the Company will complete in a near future the signing of formal agreements for the acquisition of the entirety of the prize farming and processing asset in the country. This asset is arguably being acquired on very attractive terms for EXM shareholders and has been fully funded by the seller through to the end of Q1 2020 as part of the transaction terms. This 2000-hectare farm and the factory is fully staffed and operational, already generates revenues, and is actively growing and distributing mangos to Europe and India. Perhaps most importantly “We hope and expect our Malawi operations to receive a Cannabis cultivation and export license before the middle of October,” said Summers.
Loan Agreement
The Company announces that it has entered into two agreements with Jonathan Summers, President of the Company providing for a loan of $600,000 and a loan facility of up to $1,400,000. Amounts funded under the loans are unsecured, repayable in December 2019 and January 2021, respectively, and bear interest at a 10% and 12% per annum respectively. The company issued bonus special warrants to the lender which entitle the lender to acquire bonus shares at a price of $1.35 per share for 20% of the principal amount actually funded under the loans. The special warrants convert into shares only if the lender subscribes to a future Company financing in the amount equal to outstanding loan amount prior to the maturity date. The Company may elect to repay principal and interest drawn under the $1.4 million loan facility in cash or shares, provided that shares will be priced at the time of repayment. Proceeds from the Loan will be allocated to ongoing business initiatives and general working capital purposes.
The $1.4 million loan facility agreement also provides for the grant of performance-based warrants, entitling the lender to acquire between 10% and 50% of the principal amount funded under the loan facility in shares at a price of $1.35 per share. The percentage will be determined based on the Company’s share price at the time the loan is repaid, with a sliding scale starting from $1.35 to above $6.00.
Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) the Company advises that the loan agreements are related party transactions under MI 61-101 and is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(a) and section 5.7(1)(a) of the instrument.

Crystal Lake Mining Provides an Extensive Exploration Update on the Newmont Lake Project – Golden Triangle, Eskay Camp, Outlining 2 Major Target Areas for High-Grade Gold, Silver and Copper Systems
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: September 4, 2019
Crystal Lake Mining Corporation (TSXV: CLM) (OTC Pink: SIOCF) (FSE: SOG-FF) (“Crystal Lake” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce further positive results from the ongoing exploration program on the Company’s Newmont Lake Project in the heart of BC’s Golden Triangle, Eskay Camp. Drilling and surface work continue to expand known zones and turn up new discoveries with expansive footprints.
The in-field exploration program that started in May 2019 has collected approximately (approximate values are given as exploration is ongoing):
- 2,500 soil samples for assay
- 1,500 rock samples for assay
- 4,500 hyperspectral samples analyzed in-house via TerraSpec Halo
- 700 core samples from historic un-sampled core for assay
- 12 line-km of induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey
- 300 km2 of geological mapping in a variety of detail
- Over 4,000 meters of diamond drilling with all samples submitted for assay
- Extensive 3D deposit modelling
- Construction of a brand new state-of-the-art 50-person exploration camp
- Construction of a logistical network for future lower-cost exploration
The results of the program have delineated major new discoveries in the Burgundy Ridge Copper-Gold-Silver (Cu-Au-Ag) alkalic porphyry trend, as well as new high-grade gold (Au) targets near the historic gold resource at the NW Zone and along the greater 10km long Newmont Lake Gold Corridor along the Mclymont Fault.
The program continues to produce new mineral discoveries on surface on a weekly basis and, two diamond drill rigs are still turning on both the Burgundy Ridge Copper-Gold-Silver System and the Newmont Lake Gold Corridor Trend.
Burgundy Ridge Cu-Au-Ag Alkalic Porphyry
Results from the 2019 surface exploration and diamond drilling program have confirmed the presence of a large Cu-Au-Ag alkalic porphyry trend over an area which includes Burgundy, Telena and the 72 Zone 2.3 kms away.
Crystal Lake is very pleased by the performance of SwiftSure Diamond Drilling as their drill continues to turn on the first ever diamond drill holes at Burgundy Ridge (See images of 2019 diamond drill core from Hole #7 below). Initial results have visually delineated a Cu-Au-Ag porphyry with related high-grade skarn system first sampled in 2012. No significant work was completed past 2014 until Crystal Lake intersected mineralization at depth in a late-season RC drill program in October 2018. (see press release March 7th, 2019). Preliminary interpretations of surface and drill core indicate a large high-grade skarn body adjacent to megacrystic syenite / epidote-garnet hydrothermal breccia porphyry system.

The combination of new surface mineralization discoveries, lithological orientations, and mapping along the 2.3 km trend are all further evidence for the presence of a “large” alkalic, silica-undersaturated porphyry with adjacent high-grade skarn system. This preliminary model is geologically synonymous to the world-class Galore Creek Cu-Au-Ag porphyry deposit (814.7 million tonnes of 0.50% Cu, 0.31 g/t Au, 5.21 g/t Ag – BC MINFILE #104G 090) located 30 km to the NW.
Cole Evans, President / CEO of HEG commented: “The vastness of copper with associated gold and silver mineralization of multiple styles starting at surface is really impressive. Our team has been tracking ice and snow retreat with a variety of tools. As it retreats, we are consistently being rewarded with new exposures of high-grade mineralization on surface. The first ever look at the subsurface from 2019 diamond drilling is giving us the confidence to make aggressive step outs with mineralization open along trend and at depth. Drilling continues while we eagerly await assays. The potential to have a large-scale copper-gold-silver deposit with similar lithologic, mineralization, alteration, and orientation characteristics of our world-class neighbour Galore Creek 30km to the northwest is very encouraging. An important distinction is the Burgundy Ridge Trend is roughly 1/5th the distance from road and power infrastructure making it a much more attractive system from that perspective.”
Newmont Lake Gold Corridor | High-Grade Au-Ag-Cu System
The technical team is pleased with the results of a recently completed IP survey by Walcott Geophysics and new high-grade Au discoveries at outcrop with highlights of 23.08 g/t Au, 6.49 g/t Ag, and 0.16% Cu (Sample ID B0003502) that has identified new drill targets with the potential for high-grade Au discoveries along the Mclymont Fault; a known prolific high-grade Au conduit with multiple showings over the 20km trend. Chargeable IP anomalies in the footwall of the Mclymont Fault system like those of the historic high-grade gold resource extend to the northeast and southwest of the NW Zone. This fault system has been mapped for 20km with 95% held within the Newmont Lake Property. Brand new discoveries adjacent to receding ice/snow of massive/semi-massive sulphides (pyrite and chalcopyrite) synonymous with high-grade Au in the area have also been discovered with assays pending.
Furthermore, new 3D modelling of the NW Zone high-grade Au system has outlined significant areas for expansion of the non-compliant historic inferred resource that contains 1,406 ktonnes at an average grade of 4.43 g/tAu, 0.22%Cu and 6.4 g/tAg at a projected “base case” cut-off grade of 2 g/tAu containing 200,000 oz Au, 6.79 million lbs of copper and 291,000 oz of silver (Mineral Resource Estimate on the North West Zone, Newmont Lake Property, submitted to Romios Gold Resource Inc., May 11,2007). This resource estimate was based solely on the drill hole data collected by Gulf Minerals in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Hy-Tech Drilling has commenced the first-ever oriented, HQ drill core holes in the NW Zone targeting new high-grade Au with the objective to significantly expand the size of the known Au zone, and acquire oriented core data to aid in the vectoring of more high-grade Au targets in the area.
Several maps containing the surface geochemical results along with the completed geophysics data will be available on the website, www.crystallakemining.com, shortly.
Maurizio Napoli P.Geo., VP Exploration of Crystal Lake commented: “We have been patient with the NW Zone to give our technical team the proper time required for thorough due diligence of this high-grade Au system developing along the 20km long Mclymont Fault Trend. Brand new high-grade gold discoveries have been made on surface with corresponding geophysical anomalies that suggests there is more high-grade Au in this area than previously understood. In addition, the non-compliant historic resource of 200,000 ounces gold completed in 2006 was limited to 1980’s drilling where the majority of core was not assayed or oriented. Our team has been able to model the deposit with the latest in 3D software and have identified probable extensions of the system. We have managed to prove this theory with brand new high-grade Au intercepts from previously unsampled drill core. When we factor in gold prices that have more than tripled since resource work was last done, and a new road and powerplant 10 miles down the valley; the potential is there for this to become one of the most important high-grade Au corridors in the district. Crystal Lake’s dominant land package is poised to capitalize on this.”
Cautionary Statement of Photo Gallery:
Please note the visualizations are selected images highlighting strong visual mineralization from a variety of new showings and recent diamond drill core. Mineral identification has been determined visually by geologists and cross-referenced via mobile X-ray Fluorescence elemental geochemical techniques (ThermoScientific Niton XL5 pXRF). Portable XRF data is not provided as it is not an indicator of representative geochemistry of the entire rock mass. The reader should also note that while relative spatial information is provided, mineralization is not necessary representative of space between any given location and it should not be assumed that lateral continuity exists. Also note that mineralization in drill core is visually high-grade and should not be considered representative of the entire drill hole. The reader is encouraged to exercise caution, complete their due diligence, and determine their own conclusions with the information provided.

Sampling Methodology
For each heading, several channel samples were taken perpendicular across the vein, and where possible, along the roof of the drift at spacings of approximately 1.0 meter using a portable core saw. Sampled faces are approximately 3 – 4 meters apart (depending on the advance of each blast) and vein widths varied between 0.65 – 0.85 meters (VN_10) and 0.45 – 0.75 meters (VS_10). In each case, sample widths of 1.0 meter were taken to include some hanging wall and footwall dilution around the veins and represent a minimum mining width. Veins comprise white chalcedonic quartz and minor adularia with dark grey banding due to the inclusion of silver sulphides and gold.
Development Drift S314 (South Zone)
Vein VS_10 is a new vein that was discovered by Bluestone early in its exploration program. While only contributing approximately 35,000 oz to the current reserve model, it was selected for trial mining as an example of a narrow, moderately dipping vein in the upper part of the South Zone orebody (see photos and plans). VS_10 averages 50 degrees and is hosted within gently dipping fine-grained sandstones (Mbt). The average grade of 31 vein samples taken from the faces over the 21.6-meter length of the drift was 22.4 g/t and 114 g/t Ag. Grades show remarkable consistency as seen in Table 1, with a minimum assay of 10.5 g/t Au and maximum assay of 48.5 g/t Au.
Of note in the drift are several narrow (approximately 20 cm) sub-horizontal conjugate veins in the footwall that eventually merge to VS_10 that also contain high grade gold values (see photo). Four 1.0-meter samples incorporating both vein and wall rock dilution assayed from 7.3 g/t to 73.8 g/t Au. A full table of all assay results (Table 3) is included in the attached figures.
Development Drift N636 (North Zone)
Vein VN_10 is one of the main targeted veins in the current infill drill program and is exposed in a new development drift in the lowest section of the North Ramp. The vein averages 0.65 – 0.8 meters in width and dips at 70 degrees. The average grade of 12 samples taken in 5 successive headings over the 14.9- meter length of the drift was 31.2 g/t and 68 g/t Ag, including wall rock dilution. Assays ranged from 11.2 g/t Au and 82.5 g/t Au showing consistency of high grades, similar to VS_10. Recent infill drilling (hole CB 409) intersected and extended this vein some 62 meters down dip (see press release January 9, 2019).
Precious metal mineralization at Cerro Blanco is associated with classic low sulphidation adularia-sericite epithermal quartz veins and vein swarms hosted in altered sequence of volcanoclastic and sedimentary rocks. Higher grades (>20 g/t Au and >60 g/t Ag) are associated with visible gold and silver sulphides in ginguro-style colloform-banded veins.
Quality Analysis and Quality Control
Assay results listed within this release were performed by Inspectorate Laboratories (“Inspectorate”), a division of Bureau Veritas, which are ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. Sampling was undertaken on site at Cerro Blanco by Company personnel under a QA/QC protocol developed by Bluestone under the supervision of David Cass, Qualified Person for Bluestone. Samples are transported in security-sealed bags to Inspectorate, Guatemala City, Guatemala, for sample preparation. Sample pulps are shipped to Inspectorate Laboratories in Vancouver, BC, Canada or Reno, NV, USA, and assayed using industry-standard assay techniques for gold and silver. Gold and silver were analysed by a 30-gram charge with atomic absorption and/or gravimetric finish for values exceeding 5 g/t Au and 100 g/t Ag. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material, and replicate samples. Quality control is further assured by Bluestone’s QA/QC program, which involves the insertion of blind certified reference materials (standards) and field duplicates into the sample stream to independently assess analytical precision and accuracy of each batch of samples as they are received from the laboratory. Additionally, pulps and coarse rejects are routinely submitted to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Vancouver for check analysis and additional quality control.

Arctic Star Receives Compelling Results from Ground Geophysical Surveys at the Stein Diamond Project
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: August 27, 2019
Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (TSXV: ADD) (FSE: 82A1) (WKN: A2DFY5) (“Arctic Star” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has completed the ground geophysical survey program on the Stein diamond project, Nunavut. GGL Resources Corp. has the Option to earn a 60% undivided interest in Arctic Star Exploration Corp.’s (“Arctic Star”) wholly-owned Stein diamond project by discovering in-situ kimberlite. The Stein diamond property (“Stein”) consists of 4 contiguous prospecting permits covering an area of 1,065 square kilometers on the Southern Boothia Peninsula, 45 kilometers from tide water. It is located 85 kilometers northwest of the community of Taloyoak, Nunavut which is serviced daily by commercial flights and seasonally by barge.
The Company’s detailed ground magnetic survey program has delineated a number of very compelling targets that are consistent with magnetic signatures over known kimberlites which have intruded through Cambrian-Devonian age Arctic Platform carbonate rocks at parallel latitudes elsewhere in Canada’s north. Similar geology is found on the Stein project.
A broad range of kimberlite like signatures were defined during the surveys which further bolsters the possibility of Stein delivering a new kimberlite field. Many known kimberlite fields exhibit a variety of magnetic responses which represent kimberlites intruding under varied circumstances and conditions. These signatures range from isolated magnetic highs to strong dipolar features to elongate dyke-like responses. The Stein project has delivered all three of these emplacement style signatures including a large isolated magnetic high approximately 200 meters in diameter, multiple strong, discrete dipolar signatures as well as an elongate dyke-like signature over 800 meters in length. Maps showing several examples of priority targets at Stein along with magnetic signatures from known kimberlites in comparable host rocks at parallel latitudes are available at www.gglresourcescorp.com/projects/stein.
The high priority geophysical targets are interpreted to be intrusive in nature, occurring at the surface and covered by a sequence of glacial till. Although magnetic signatures of known kimberlites are not indicative of diamond content, the potential of the Stein cluster of high interest targets is further reinforced by heavy mineral samples collected down ice which contain indicator mineral grains that are indicative of diamond inclusion chemistry showing high chrome, low calcium G10D pyrope garnets.
Stein is a permitted, advanced diamond exploration project having the benefit of numerous successive exploration campaigns and over $1.5 million in previous expenditures. Drill testing has not been conducted on the project to date. The nearest known kimberlite discovery to Stein is over 230 kilometers to the southeast and perpendicular to the regional ice flow direction. The distance and direction greatly reduce the potential of the Stein mineral grains being an overprint from this field.
GGL will continue with further modeling and target prioritization in preparation for future drilling as the Stein project has now been further de-risked and brought to the drill ready stage.
The technical data in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Buddy Doyle, a diamond geologist with over 30 years of experience, a Qualified Person under the provisions of National Instrument 43-101.
About Arctic Star
The Company owns 100% of the recently acquired Timantti Diamond Project including a 243 Ha Exploration Permit and a 95,700 Ha Exploration Reservation near the township of Kuusamo, in Finland. The project is located approximately 550km SW of the operating Grib Diamond Mine in Russia. Arctic has commenced its exploration in Finland on the Timantti Project, where four diamondiferous kimberlite bodies may represent the first discoveries in a large kimberlite field. The Company also controls diamond exploration properties in Nunavut (Stein), the NWT (Diagras and Redemption) and a rare metals project in BC (Cap).
Arctic Star has a highly experienced diamond exploration team previously responsible for several world class diamond discoveries.

Bluestone Drilling Delivers 13.7 meters grading 11.2 g/t Au & 78 g/t Ag (13.1 meters true width)
Momentum Public Relations
Press Releases: August 21, 2019
Bluestone Resources Inc. (TSXV: BSR) (OTCQB: BBSRF) (“Bluestone” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional high-grade drill assays from its ongoing infill resource conversion program at its Cerro Blanco Gold project.
The focus of the current drill program is the conversion of Inferred Resources within key veins in the upper part of the Cerro Blanco ore body and vein extensions outside of the current resource. The Cerro Blanco Feasibility Study (see press release January 29, 2019) highlighted 357,000 ounces of Inferred Resources (1.4 Mt grading 8.1 g/t Au) that could be potentially converted to Measured and Indicated Resources through infill drilling.
Darren Klinck, President and CEO commented, “We are pleased with the continued success of the infill drill program in the North Zone of the deposit which has been a focus for us the last six months. We expect to put out an updated resource later this year reflecting the additional information generated from the drilling in the North Zone. As well, with the positive impact this program will ultimately have on adding value to the Cerro Blanco project, we are continuing to drill, shifting our focus to the South Zone for the next several months.”
Highlights from initial results in the South Zone, include hole UGCB19-147 which was drilled at minus 15 degrees to the north in the South Zone underground workings and intercepted a total of seven sub-parallel sheeted veins, including Vein VS_06 which assayed 11.2 g/t Au and 78 g/t Ag over 13.7 meters.

Notes: Intervals in bold are cited in the text of the press release. Only intercepts averaging over 3 g/t Au when diluted to a minimum 3 meters true width are stated. Hole coordinates and azimuth/dip information accompany the plan view attached to this release.
Holes UGCB19-145 and UGCB19-146 were drilled steeply upwards and designed to test for extensions of veins VN_01, 02, and 05 within the upper Salinas conglomerates/sinter zone. No significant intercepts were drilled, only narrow, low-grade veins, in line with the current model that the veins diminish within this upper silicified unit.
Holes UGCB19-148 to UGCB19-152 are a series of holes drilled at horizontal to positive angles (upwards) from 4 individual platforms in the North Zone underground workings and intercepted targeted veins including 4.4 meters at 21.7 g/t Au and 2.3 meters at 49.2 g/t Au in UGCB19-150 and UGCB19-152, respectively.
Hole CB19-411 drilled from surface successfully intercepted all targeted veins including 9.5 meters (9.1 meters true width) grading 7.2 g/t Au and 16 g/t Ag (Vein VN_11). Of note, Vein VN_10, which assayed 4 meters grading 13 g/t Au, was extended approximately 75 meters down-dip of its exposure in the North Zone underground workings.
A plan showing drill hole locations can be accessed by clicking HERE.
Precious metal mineralization at Cerro Blanco is associated with classic low sulphidation adularia-sericite epithermal quartz veins and vein swarms hosted in altered sequence of volcanoclastic and sedimentary rocks. Higher grades (>20 g/t Au and >60 g/t Ag) are associated with visible gold and silver sulphides in ginguro-style colloform-banded veins.
Quality Analysis and Quality Control
Assay results listed within this release were performed by Inspectorate Laboratories (“Inspectorate”), a division of Bureau Veritas, which are ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. Logging and sampling are undertaken on site at Cerro Blanco by Company personnel under a QA/QC protocol developed by Bluestone.

Mr. Guy Morissette, President, states: ” We are honored that the Nelligan Project is among the finalists for the Discovery of the Year Award. This is a project that we believe deserves to be recognized as a major Canadian gold project.”
