Crystal Lake Intersects 15.11 g/t Gold over 8 Metres at Newmont Lake Project, BC
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: September 18, 2019
Crystal Lake Mining Corporation (TSXV: CLM OTC: SIOCF FSE: SOG-FF) (“Crystal Lake” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the intersection of shallow high-grade gold mineralization at Crystal Lake’s Newmont Lake Gold Corridor. The new results are crucial as they provide evidence of a thick unit of unusually high-grade gold mineralization within a broad envelop of continuous low-grade gold mineralization. This discovery is important as it demonstrates that the mineral zone actually increases in both width and in grade in areas where previous models indicate a narrowing of the mineral zone. Additionally, a second deeper horizon has been intersected in an area without gold mineralization in previous models adding to the exploration potential of the Newmont Lake gold corridor along the western flank of the Eskay Rift in NW BC.
The first diamond drill core assay results from ongoing drilling at the NW Zone underscore the potential for higher grades and increased continuity of grade which can result in significant expansion of the historic mineralization while brand new high-grade domains are targeted elsewhere along the gold-bearing McLymont Fault and numerous associated splay faults.
Highlights:
- The second of three drill holes, building on the northern extension of the Northwest zone, intersected 15.1 g/t Au over 8.03 metres (106.32 metres to 114.35 metres), including 76 g/t Au over 1 metre, in addition to an even shallower high-grade intercept of 7.6 g/t Au, 23.1 g/t Ag and 1.03% Cu over 5.30 metres starting just 82 metres downhole (including 26.1 g/t Au over 1.3 metres);
- These two shallow high grade gold zones form a thick continuous intercept of 44 metres (82 metres to 126.13 metres, approximate true width) grading 4.03 g/t Au, 4.06 g/t Ag and 0.29% Cu, in addition to a deeper wide interval of disseminated gold mineralization (77 metres @ 0.29 g/t Au) starting 157 metres downhole which points to the potential for new discoveries including more high-grade mineralization at depth;
- Ongoing drilling of this significantly upgraded portion of the NW Zone Historic Resource* has encountered visually similar mineralization in the third hole completed along section with an estimated down-dip step out of approximately 22 to 30 metres. Assays are pending.
- The fourth hole on section in the Newmont Lake Gold Corridor is ongoing.
Dr. Peter Lightfoot, Technical Adviser to Crystal Lake, commented: “The western flank of the Eskay Rift is endowed with significant high-grade mineralization styles that fit with a wide range of deposit models, and require very efficient pathways for fluids and magma to migrate from depth to the surface and form ore deposits. The gold mineralization developed along the western flank of the Newmont Lake graben is part of this wider mineral system, and Crystal Lake is aggressively developing an understanding of how the high-grade gold mineralization relates to the McLymont fault, its subsidiary faults and associated hydrothermal breccias.”

Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: September 17, 2019
Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSXV:SSE)(Frankfort:S6Q1) is pleased to announce that it has received approval of its Informe Preventivo, the environmental application required for drilling at the Cocula gold project in Jalisco State, Mexico.
The permit allows for forty-seven (47) drill sites over the 750-metre strike length of the known mineralized area. The Company is preparing a drilling strategy to evaluate the current mineralization and new exploration targets identified in recent geological mapping.
“With surface access agreements and the drill permit in place, the Company is quickly advancing its technical studies to support a decision to earn a 100% interest in the project,” stated Karl Boltz, CEO of Silver Spruce. “We continue to check the boxes we require in order to prepare and execute a definitive purchase agreement with all parties for the project. So far, the results from surface geological mapping, chip and trench sampling and assaying, check assaying of the historical reverse circulation drill chip samples and re-interpretation of the drill sections, and recent completion of an independent 43-101 report have been quite positive.”
The occurrence of widespread gold mineralization at surface, including high grades of select samples (12.55 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (“AU”), 16.65 g/t Au and 23.7 g/t Au) assayed from rock and drill chip sampling, indicate robust gold mineralization along with significant silver and base metal values.
The Company will continue its due diligence designed to support a definitive purchase decision, subject to its binding Letter of Agreement with ProDeMin, SA de CV (“ProDeMin”).

North Bud Farms Restructures Proposed California Operations with Signing of Offer to Purchase 11-Acre Property in Salinas, California
Momentum Public Relation
Press Release: September 12, 2019
North Bud Farms Inc. (CSE: NBUD) (OTCQB: NOBDF) (“NORTHBUD” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Bonfire Brands USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of NORTHBUD, has entered into a land purchase agreement with the Qlora Group to acquire a fully operational Cannabis farm consisting of approximately 300,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse capacity located in Salinas, California. With the near 11-acre cultivation facility comes additional licenses for processing and distribution. The transaction is valued at USD$11 million.
The facility in Salinas, California is currently licensed and operating a 60,000 sq. ft. greenhouse capable of producing 12,000 kg a year and holds the approval to expand up to approximately 300,000 sq. ft. of capacity with estimated yields of 60,000 kg a year. This infrastructure will serve as the primary operation for Bonfire Brands USA within the state of California, which is considered to be the largest cannabis market in the United States.
“Over the past seven months we have observed an evolution in the California market,” stated Justin Braune, President of Bonfire Brands USA. “Many existing legacy operations have been unsuccessful in transitioning their businesses into the adult use market post January 1st, 2019. Supply issues and licensing time frames have caused widespread re positioning of market shares amongst many verticals. Since the creation of Bonfire, we have determined that the acquisition of strategic licensed infrastructure will provide Bonfire with the most efficient operational structure possible. By controlling the complete vertical in one location per state we will have the capacity to increase both our offerings and margins. This will enable us to further improve our own brands as well as we work with complementary partners over a wide spectrum of product segments.”
Transaction Terms
Bonfire Brands USA entered into the land purchase agreement effective September 9, 2019. The purchase price of the land is USD$8M. As part of the 60-day escrow agreement Bonfire Brands USA will make an initial deposit of USD$500,000. The remaining USD$7.5M mortgage will be held by the seller at a fixed interest rate. Over the first 12 months, Bonfire Brands USA will make interest only payments before entering into a traditional principal and interest mortgage. Upon successfully transferring all licenses from Monterey Holdings to Bonfire Brands USA, the Company will issue a convertible debt note in the amount of CAD$2.5M. The debt note will be redeemable in four equal installments to be paid in cash or common shares of NORTHBUD (valued at the 30-day VWAP of the common shares on the CSE) at the discretion of the note holder. If the note holder chooses to redeem in cash, then the installment will be paid in monthly installments over a 3-month period. Any issuance of common shares of NORTHBUD will be subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including that of the CSE, and standard restrictions on resale.
Upon closing of the real estate transaction, it is expected that Bonfire Brands USA will begin to immediately operate the facilities under an operations agreement until the license transfer is complete.
In addition, Bonfire Brands USA intends to acquire the remaining assets of the Qlora Group related to the brands “California Bud Co.” and “Live For The Day” (LFTD) in exchange for common shares of NORTHBUD. Qlora Group advises that the brands accounted for USD$4.5M in unaudited revenue in 2018. This transaction is expected to take approximately six months to complete for a consideration of USD$500,000.
The Transaction is a significant acquisition but will not result in a “Fundamental Change” pursuant to the policies of the CSE. NORTHBUD will be preparing the necessary corporate and securities filings in order to secure the required approvals for the Transaction.
NORTHBUD has agreed to pay up to 5% in finder fees to arm’s length parties in connection with the closing of the Transaction. The fee is payable in common shares of NORTHBUD.
The closing of the Transaction is conditional on the receipt by the parties of applicable corporate and regulatory approvals including that of the CSE.
U.S. Expansion Update
NORTHBUD is pleased to have solidified its California expansion strategy with this this proposed transaction with Qlora Group and in light of this development and other factors NORTHBUD has agreed to mutually terminate the previously announced letters of intent regarding Eureka Vapor and Tanforan Ventures LLC. Mr. Justin Braune, President of Bonfire Brands USA will lead all NORTHBUD’s U.S. operations.
“Over the past seven months we have been working diligently to complete these transactions, however, during this time the market in California has evolved significantly,” said Ryan Brown, CEO of NORTHBUD. “When the opportunity to purchase licensed real estate in one of the most desired cultivation climates in the state presented itself, we felt that this was the best strategy to maximize revenue as well as protecting shareholder value. The acquisition of this property will provide NORTHBUD with larger revenue potential and significantly less dilution than the previous proposed transactions. We look forward to a potential collaboration with both companies in the future and wish them the best of success.”
The Nevada Botanical Science LOI agreement is still in place and the Company will update shareholders on material progress related to that transaction in due course.
While the proposed transactions involving Nevada Botanical Science and Monterey Holdings are complementary, they are independent and the Company may ultimately proceed to close one, both or none of the proposed transactions, depending on market conditions and regulatory requirements.
Corporate Update
NORTHBUD is pleased to update shareholders that the Evidence of Readiness Package was submitted to Health Canada and upon issuance of a standard cultivation licence from Health Canada, NORTHBUD will be ready to begin Canadian operations.
About North Bud Farms Inc.
North Bud Farms Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary GrowPros MMP Inc., is pursuing a licence under The Cannabis Act. The Company has built a state-of-the-art purpose-built cannabis production facility located on 135 acres of Agricultural Land in Low, Quebec, Canada. NORTHBUD through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Bonfire Brands USA has entered into agreements to acquire assets in California and Nevada.

The samples were taken during a two week mapping program over the main mineralized area at Cocula. Three types of spatially related mineralization/alteration were recognized: a westernmost area of massive and milky quartz veining with pyrite, galena and oxide copper minerals hosted by chloritized andesite with disseminated pyrite and local epidote interpreted as propylitic alteration. Quartz types and textures are believed to be indicative of higher temperatures. A central zone of quartz matrix breccia and stockwork quartz veining with iron oxides and jarosite exhibits epithermal textures and less pyrite and galena consistent with lower temperatures of formation, The easternmost zone of crystalline quartz- and massive to bladed barite veining with manganese oxides that may postdate other mineralization. All of these zones are associated with gold mineralization and may represent a zoned system. To the south of the main stockwork zone, the wallrock adjacent to the main structure are strongly argillized. This zone overlaps the stockwork mineralization and extends along the main NW-SE mineralized structure.
The recent work indicates that past drilling may have inadequately explored the geometry of the mineralization over several targets. The previous drilling was done by the reverse circulation method and no structural information was obtained. Many of the drill holes in the main structure are vertical and do not cross structures interpreted as steeply dipping whereas drill holes to the west are angled, though too short to intersect the main mineralization tested by the vertical holes. The Company intends to test these areas during its first drill program.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Samples collected by ProDeMin on behalf of Silver Spruce were analyzed by ALS Global, a worldwide analytical testing laboratory well-known in the exploration and mining community. Samples submitted to ALS consisted of rock chip samples that were analyzed for gold by the Au-AA26 method, consisting of a 50 g fire assay with an AA finish. Silver and base metals were analyzed with the 25 gram ME-TL43 package using aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS finish. Blind control samples consisting of a standard pulp and a coarse blank were inserted in the sample stream and laboratory also uses standards and blanks as part of its routine QA-QC program.

The Rights Plan, also commonly referred to as a poison pill, is designed to ensure that, in the context of a bid for control of the Company through an acquisition of shares, all shareholders have an equal opportunity to participate in, and adequate time to assess, the bid. The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent take-over bids that treat shareholders equally and offer fair value. The Rights Plan expressly permits certain take-over bids, referred to as “permitted bids”, that meet basic requirements intended to protect the interests of shareholders.
Under the terms of the Rights Plan, one right (a “Right”) will be issued by the Company for each outstanding share. The Rights become exercisable only if a person acquires 20% or more of the shares of the Company without complying with the “permitted bid” provisions of the Rights Plan or without the approval of the Company’s board of directors. Once exercisable, the Rights entitle holders (other than such acquiring person, its affiliates, associates and joint actors) to purchase shares of the Company at a substantial discount to the prevailing market price at the time that the Rights become exercisable.
The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any specific take-over bid for the Company that has been made or that the Company is aware of. The Rights Plan is similar to plans adopted by other Canadian companies. The Rights Plan also addresses concerns that a person may acquire control of Sirona through market purchases of shares, known as a “creeping bid”, without paying fair value for a control position or sharing a control premium equally among all shareholders.
A copy of the Rights Plan will be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com following the approval of shareholders and the acceptance by the TSXV.

Crystal Lake Mining Provides an Update on Designed Exploration for High-Grade Gold within the Newmont Lake Gold Corridor, NW BC, Golden Triangle, Eskay Camp
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: September 10, 2019
Crystal Lake Mining Corporation (TSXV: CLM) (OTC Pink: SIOCF) (FSE: SOG) (“Crystal Lake” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on exploration designed to test the Newmont Lake corridor for high grade gold mineralization on the Company’s roughly 700 km2Newmont Lake Project in the heart of BC’s Golden Triangle. The Newmont Lake corridor contains the historic Newmont Lake gold mineral resource, which sits at the western flank of the strongly endowed Eskay Rift. Geological work has established potential for the known deposit to be open along strike. A thorough review of historic drill core, assaying of previously untested drill core, and construction of a 3D model underpins a new understanding of the deposit and has provided a number of targets along strike from the historic resource where potential extensions or new mineral zones may exist.
High-Grade Gold Targets in the Newmont Lake Gold Corridor
Assay results from an extensive program of surface mapping and geochemistry of rock chip samples and previously unsampled core have shown that high grade gold mineralization follows the trend of the McLymont Fault Zone (please see the Company’s News Release dated September 4th, 2019) over a strike length of >8kms centered along the trend of the Newmont Lake resource.
Multiple boulders containing high grade gold mineralization with up to 84.4 g/tonne gold have been traced back to a new target in the Arseno Zone. The boulders are selected samples that are not in situ, the source of these samples is not known and is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the property. Similar mineralization in outcrop has been traced back to a possible source which is interpreted to be covered by ice. This target is a step-out along trend from the historic Newmont Lake deposit, and drilling is being guided by a combination of outcropping mineralization, alteration, and chargeability response in the IP survey.
Plan View of the Newmont Lake Gold Corridor between NW Zone and Arseno showing locations of IP lines, and the location of the historic NW Zone resource. Historic and 2019 assays are collected from multiple historic boulder samples inferred to be locally sourced. The boulders are selected samples that are not in situ, the source of these samples is not known and is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the property.
The first 3 drill holes at the NW Zone tested the northern portion in the footprint of the historic inferred resource that contains 1,406k tonnes at an average grade of 4.43 g/t Au, 0.22% Cu and 6.4 g/t Ag at a projected “base case” cut-off grade of 2 g/t Au 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. The objective of the initial drilling is to better understand the geological controls on mineralization and evaluate whether historic sampling adequately reflects the grade. Drilling beyond the northern and southern trend of the historic resource is designed to identify extensions of mineralization based on the newly developed geological model. The drill targets have been constrained based on the geological data together with the trend of mineralization and the chargeability response from the 2019 IP survey.
The mineral estimate cited above is presented as a historical estimate and uses historical terminology which does not conform to current NI 43-101 standards. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Although the historical estimates are believed to be based on reasonable assumptions, they were calculated prior to the implementation of National Instrument 43-101. These historical estimates do not meet current standards as defined under sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101; consequently, the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
Crystal Lake Expands the Newmont Lake Project
Crystal Lake has staked an additional 5,423 hectares of claims contiguous with the Newmont Lake and Foremore Claims Properties. The total land package now comprises a total 728km2 (72,800 hectares), which makes Crystal Lake the holder of one of the largest and most prospective projects within the Eskay Camp.
Maurizio Napoli P. Geo., VP Exploration of Crystal Lake commented, “Our 2019 exploration program has indicated that the McLymont Fault running through the centre of our Project is an important control of the high-grade gold mineralization in the historic resource of 200,000 ounces completed in 2006. Our sampling campaign of historic drill core that had not been previously assayed has demonstrated that there are unsampled gold bearing intervals within the resource volume implying that a significant amount of gold, silver and copper values may be under-reported within the area of the historic resource. The objective of our current drilling campaign is to expand the current resource and, to discover new high-grade gold zones along the McLymont Fault.”

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Rock samples from the Northwest Gold Zone were sent to MSA Labs’ preparation facility in Terrace, B.C., where samples were prepared using method PRP-910. Samples were dried, crushed to 2mm, split 250g and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Prepped samples were sent to MSA Labs’ analytical facility in Langley, B.C, where they were analyzed for gold using method FAS-121 (fire assay-AAS finish). Gold assays greater than 100 g/t Au were automatically analyzed using FAS-425 (fire assay with a gravimetric finish). Rock samples were analyzed for 53 elements using method IMS-230, multi-element ICP-MS 4-acid digestion, ultra-trace level. Silver assay results greater than 100 g/t Ag and cobalt, copper, nickel, lead and zinc greater than 10,000ppm were automatically analyzed by ore grade method ICF-6.
Crystal Lake Mining conducts its own QA/QC program where three standard reference material pulps, two blank reference material samples are inserted for every 100 samples when analyzing rock samples.
