*VICE TV Celebrities and over 10,000 Fans to Attend

*“We are actively in, on the ground, and arm in arm with our consumers, where they celebrate their passions, like drag racing, and idols, like Donkmaster and Country C. This is how they know we are the real deal,” said Shaun Serpa, Marketing Director for Lyfted Farms.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 26, 2021) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (OTC PINK: TCNAF) (FSE: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Lyfted Farms, is thrilled to announce two much-anticipated new product launches this weekend in San Diego, California.

Lyfted Farms, renowned in the industry for its masterful cultivation techniques and unique and powerful strains of exotic cannabis flower, will tease two new very potent strains to 10,000 existing and potential consumers at the Barona Raceway near San Diego tomorrow, Saturday, March 27th.

VICE TV celebrities “Donkmaster” Sage Thomas and “Country C” will be championing and promoting the launch directly to the audience at the Raceway, and limited ‘first taste’ products will be available for sale on-site through a licensed delivery service.

The new THC-dominant strains, Carolina Cantaloupe, and Heads Up Pro-Tree, with 31% and 25% THC respectively, will rank among some of the most potent THC strains to come onto the market in 2021. The strains are proprietary to Lyfted Farms and have never before been sampled by consumers.

“This kind of direct-to-consumer loyalty and relationship-building is the central theme of our marketing and how we differentiate,” said Shaun Serpa, Marketing Director for Lyfted Farms. “We are actively in, on the ground, and arm in arm with our consumers, where they celebrate their passions, like drag racing, and idols, like Donkmaster and Country C. This is how they know we are the real deal.”

Donkmaster and Country C will personally be on-hand to meet and greet fans and further promote the new strains on Sunday March 28th at the COOKIES La Mesa retail store in San Diego.

COOKIES, with over 25 retail locations throughout the United States, is one of the most authentic and well-respected cannabis lifestyle brands in the country and is set to massively scale its retail footprint in 2021 and beyond.

Immediately following the exclusive launch events at Barona Raceway and COOKIES, full distribution of the new strains will roll out to additional select Lyfted Farms retail dispensaries.

$WMD $WDDMF’s Color Cannabis Expands Product Portfolio with Debut of Live Resin in Pedro’s Sweet Sativa Cultivar $CRON $GTBIF $INDS $FAF.ca $WEED.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:29 PM on Thursday, March 25th, 2021

*Strain-specific Live Resin product set for release under Color Cannabis adult-use brand
*Available for purchase from Ontario Cannabis Store in May

TORONTO, March 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeedMD Inc. (TSX-V:WMD(OTCQX:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE) (“WeedMD” or the “Company”), a federally-licensed producer and distributor of medical-grade cannabis, is pleased to announce the debut of its strain-specific live resin product for release under its Color Cannabis adult-use brand, 510-thread vaporization carts. Products will be available for purchase from the Ontario Cannabis Store starting in May, 2021 with eventual expansion to additional provinces and retailers. The live resin line offered in Pedro’s Sweet Sativa cultivar is the first in a series of new extract products recently announced by the Company that will eventually expand to feature solventless hash and rosin concentrates.

WeedMD partnered with Ontario’s Peak Processing, a highly-skilled, third-party processer that specializes in developing hydrocarbon extract of freshly harvested and frozen cannabis biomass to produce live resin formulations. This process ensures the cannabinoid and terpene-rich trichomes are preserved at harvest to produce some of the purest, true-to-nature forms of concentrates from the Company’s award-winning genetics.

“With the launch of our live resin products, we’re excited to introduce consumers to another authentic offering featuring the unique cultivar that is Pedro’s Sweet Sativa,” said Joseph Mele, Senior Vice President, Commercial Sales and Marketing, WeedMD. “The goal with all Color Cannabis products is to expand consumers’ awareness – particularly for those seeking unique terpene profiles and new premium, high-value concentrates. Peak Processing has carefully extracted live resin from fresh-frozen Pedro’s Sweet Sativa, grown and processed alongside our skilled teams, and we’re looking forward to adding more cultivars to this innovative line-up.”

WeedMD is expected to release additional Cannabis 2.0 extract products including solventless hash and rosin concentrates throughout 2021, under its Color Cannabis and Saturday Cannabis adult-use brands. Product development for both solventless cannabis concentrates, including bubble hash and rosin extract products, is currently underway alongside WeedMD and its highly skilled third-party processors currently undergoing trialling processes.

The Company has further developed a unique, in-house sub-critical CO2 extract post-processing methodology, which preserves the flower’s terpene profile and results in a malleable, semi-solid high-potency cannabis extract product. Trials to confirm scalability and product integrity are also currently underway at the Company’s Aylmer, Ontario processing and extraction hub.

Extract products will be produced using WeedMD’s own biomass, grown on-site at the Company’s state-of-the-art greenhouse and outdoor field in Strathroy, Ontario.

Loncor $LN.ca $LONCF Deepest Hole Drilled at Adumbi Deposit Intersects Significant Widths and Grades in Multiple Gold Zones $ABX $NGT $GOLD $TECK

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:37 AM on Thursday, March 25th, 2021

  • Results include 32.15 metres grading 6.17 g/t gold (including 1.46 metres grading 94.77 g/t gold) and 15.36 metres grading 3.73 g/t gold (including 5.89 metres grading 6.56 g/t gold)

Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company”) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQX: “LONCF”; FSE: “LO51”) is pleased to announce further significant assay results from its drilling program within its 84.68%-owned Imbo Project in the eastern part of the Ngayu greenstone belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The deepest borehole drilled to date at its flagship Adumbi deposit, LADD009 intersected 32.15 metres grading 6.17 grammes per tonne (g/t) gold (including 1.46 metres grading 94.77 g/t Au), 15.36 metres grading 3.73 g/t gold (including 5.89 metres grading 6.56 g/t Au), 5.00 metres grading 3.17 g/t gold and 7.45 metres grading 1.48 g/t gold.

Mineralized sections for borehole LADD009 are summarised in the table below:

Borehole NumberFrom (m)To (m)Intersected
Width (m)
Grade (g/t) Au
LADD009559.76564.765.003.17
LADD009581.90614.0532.156.17
LADD009
including
599.05600.511.4694.77
LADD009629.56644.9215.363.73
LADD009
including
632.00637.895.896.56
LADD009650.50657.957.451.48

Borehole LADD009 had an inclination of minus 75 degrees and azimuth of 218 degrees at the start of hole and regular measurements of inclination and azimuth were taken at 30 metre intervals down the hole. All core was orientated, and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections are approximately 82% of the intersected width. All intercepted grades are uncut with maximum internal dilution equal to or less than 4 metres of intersected width. Borehole LADD009 intersected the mineralization at a depth of approximately 140 metres below the open pit shell (see Figures 2 and 3 below). Boreholes LADD012 and LADD013 are currently being drilled (LADD011 was abandoned before reaching target depth due to mechanical problems and LADD013 is being drilled in its place).

Commenting on these latest drilling results, Loncor President Peter Cowley said: “Borehole LADD009 is the deepest hole drilled to date at Adumbi as well as the highest value in terms of the product of grade multiplied by true width for the multiple intersections (see Figure 2). These excellent results combined with previous results from the ongoing drilling program indicate that gold grades are increasing with depth. We continue to be excited by the results at Adumbi. The holes from our current drilling program have intersected significant widths and grades and will increase the current open pittable, inferred mineral resource of 2.19 million ounces (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t gold) at the Adumbi deposit. Studies are underway to quantify this increase.”

The gold mineralization at Adumbi is associated with a thick package (up to 130 metres) of interbedded banded ironstone and quartz carbonate and chlorite schist with higher grade sections being found in a strongly altered siliceous unit termed “Replaced Rock” (RP) where structural deformation and alteration has completely destroyed the primary host lithological fabric. Disseminated sulphide assemblages include pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite which can attain up to 20% of the total rock in places.

The objective of the current drilling program at Adumbi is to outline additional mineral resources to the current inferred mineral resource of 2.5 million ounces of gold on Loncor’s 84.68%-owned Imbo Project which contains the Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits (inferred mineral resources of 30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au).
