Escondido, California–(April 1, 2019) – MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (OTCQB: MCOA) (“MCOA” or the “Company“), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, and its Joint Venture partner Global Hemp Group (CSE: GHG) (OTC: GBHPF) (FSE: GHG) (together with the Company, the “Partners“) are pleased to announce that they are currently in negotiations with several cannabinoid extraction companies in Oregon, USA, regarding the acquisition of the joint venture’s hemp biomass produced at the Scio farm from the 2018 harvest. The team at the Scio farm has prepared processing samples ranging in size from 100 lbs to 2,000 lbs. for the extraction companies. The biomass is being processed into CBD crude oil with the option to refine it further into isolate, or full spectrum oil, in order to increase its value on the market. Results from the current extraction test batches are expected to be received by mid-April and will serve as a basis for the final terms of the sale of the biomass by the Partners.
Cloning Update
The cloning process is well underway at the Scio farm. For this year’s cultivation, four different strains have been chosen from the latest high CBD industrial hemp varieties, which are being used as a base for the in-house propagation program. The goal of the program is to produce approximately 50,000 clones to populate the lower 35 acres of the Scio farm for the 2019 season, and reduce and/or eliminate the need for the acquisition of any additional seeds or clones from outside sources. The program started with 400 high quality plants. Through a regimen of proper nutrients and a controlled environment, these “mother” plants will grow into very large bushes, which will be used to derive a sufficient number of clones, ensuring that the target number of plants required for this year’s cultivation is reached. Once removed from the mother plants, the clones will then be placed in a propagation greenhouse to root. Once rooted and well established, the clones will then be ready to be planted in the fields, which is expected to begin this year in late May or early June.
Expansion in 2019
The Company continues to evaluate a number of opportunities to expand the scope of its project in Oregon. As previously announced, a number of local farmers are interested in working with the joint venture partners to grow hemp in 2019. The Oregon Department of Agriculture expects hemp cultivation in Oregon to grow from 11,514 acres in 2018 to more than 25,000 in this current year. In order for new hemp farmers to be successful, they will need to rely on experienced hemp farming teams like our Scio farm team. This will create potential opportunity to joint venture with the local farming community.
Micropropagation (Tissue Culture)
The Company has begun preliminary exploration to expand its business into micropropagation of hemp plants. By focusing on culturing the tissue from feminized “mother” hemp plants that are proven to produce high CBD levels, the Company believes it can more efficiently provide plants with higher-yielding and more profitable CBD content. Micropropagation techniques rely on uniform tissue sampling from high yielding CBD feminized hemp plants, that is more effective than developing plants from the more traditional methods of germination from seed or cloning from other plants.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Great Atlantic is an advertising client of AGORA Internet Relations Corp
Montreal, March 31, 2019 / St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to inform its shareholders that it can confirm that it has achieved complete and total recovery in leach of lithium from the bulk material provided by its partner Iconic Minerals (TSX-V: ICM) originating from their Bonnie Claire lithium project in Nevada.
St-Georges’ patent pending leaching technology achieved 100% leaching of lithium while not affecting the majority of the solids. 88% of the initial feed material is unleached which helps with chemicals consumption and tailings disposal.
The patent pending mix of nitric and citric acids being used do not require high temperature and high pressure and no calcination is required. The objectives of the technology development was simply to have the lowest chemical cost impact.
The impacts on the Bonnie Claire Deposit of the first phase of the process that includes classification, concentration and leaching at atmospheric pressure and low temperature has shown an average concentration gain from 963 ppm Li to 8,025 ppm Li, or a gain of 8,333 percent.
St-Georges is currently testing different calibration and improving on its selective leaching in order to target only the recuperation in the leach of the lithium and magnesium and achieve better grades in the leach.
Potential Fertilizer By-Products
In addition to the lithium, the selective leaching collects mainly the salt family elements such as Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca) and items like carbonates. The company believe that this could lead to-possible development of fertilizer by-products in the nitrate family that would potentially positively impact the economics of the Bonnie Claire project.
Current On-Going Developments
The next tests to be started this week will focus on reducing the total time of contact and we expect that the selectivity will be increased. In addition, St-Georges is in the process of purchasing a electrolysis unit to make LiOH to be added to the pilot plant with a further focus on using less chemicals. Work with various vendors of resins has been initiated to optimize the lithium purification steps prior to lithium hydroxide production.
Phase 1 Confidential Report
The phase 1 confidential report is currently being independently reviewed and a final public summary should be disseminated within 45 days. Detailed tests result and confidential information related to the process flow-sheet has been provided to Iconic management. For details and guidelines regulating the relation between Iconic and St-Georges, please read December 7, 2017 press release “Licensing Technology Agreement with Iconic Minerals”.
Summary of the proposed industrial process
Developmental testing has results in 100% of the lithium leached to be repeatedly recuperated using the patent pending leaching technology developed by St-Georges.
Below are the steps tested in the course of Phase 1 of the development of the process.
Step 1: Screening
The lithium material is being screened out to remove pebbles and other coarse material like calcium.
(Independent testing and review of this stage was performed during the course of the months of March and April 2018 by SGS Lakefield laboratory in Ontario)
Step 2: De- Agglomeration
The agglomerated material is being fed into a roll grinder to break down the feed into the original fine particles before drying.
This was also done and reviewed by SGS Laboratory. After these 2 initial steps review, SGS performed an XRD and chemical analysis for each of the elements and crystalline forms.
Step 3: Concentration
Two approaches were developed and tested. Air classification and flotation concentration. These co-exist as linear task A and B of the concentration step at this stage. St-Georges is currently working on eliminating one of the sub-tasks with the hopes of drastically reducing costs and processing time.
Task 3a: Air Classification
In this step the material is separated by density and particle size. In the particular case of the Bonnie Claire material, the lithium is contained in the superfine particles. These particles are too fine to be screened.
Independent review and testing of Task 3a were performed in the scope of the month of November 2018 by the laboratories of Netzsch Premier Technologies LLC of Exton, Pennsylvania. The resulting material was reduced by 55% with a cut-off at 5 microns.
The resulting material was sent by Netzsch for chemical analysis to the laboratories of the Centre de Technologie minerales et de plasturgie Inc. (CTMP) at Tedford-Mines in Quebec.
The lab results confirmed that 100% of the lithium remained in the resulting concentrate when properly de-agglomerated.
Task 3b: Floatation Concentration
The CTMP labs performed, at the demand of St-Georges, a traditional froth floatation with deionized water. These tests were unsuccessful forcing the company metallurgists to adopt a different approach.
St-Georges patent pending technology using a silicate salt saturated medium will be independently reviewed and tested with bulk material within the first part of the month of April by CTMP.
Step 4: Selective Leaching
Using St-Georges’ patent pending acid mix solution of nitric and citric acids, the CTMP reviewed and independently tested 2 batches of material from the Bonnie Claire lithium deposit.
Leach test 1:
Material from this initial test was passed through tasks 1 and 2 but skipped classification and concentration. The results are:
100% of the lithium was leached at atmosphere pressure and low temperature. The total leach time was of 1 hour resulting in 12% of the initial total mass. The company set-up and intends to improve on that result.
Leach test 2:
Material from this leach test was passed through tasks 1, 2 and 3a. 100% of the lithium was leached at atmosphere pressure and low temperature. The total leach time was of 1 hour resulting in 12% of the initial total mass.
Optimization of these tasks should yield results in industrial settings that would reduce the total mass to a target percentage below 5%

The battery industry’s cobalt demand last year rose by 102pc from 2017 to 16,629t, while nickel use climbed by 101pc to 41,521t. Lithium use for EV batteries increased by 76pc to 10,902t, while manganese demand rose by 36pc to 17,673t, as a shift toward more high-capacity models pushed consumption toward cobalt and nickel that yield higher energy density.
Shipments of EVs with lithium secondary batteries last year rose by 71pc by capacity to 95.7GWh, INI said. China remained the global leader in EV demand, accounting for 58pc of car shipments. China also had a 126pc rise in cobalt use to 9,092t and a 123pc gain in nickel consumption to 17,605t. Chinese lithium demand climbed by 78pc to 6,461t.
South Korean battery producers were cut out of the Chinese EV boom because cars equipped with their products were excluded from qualifying for generous government subsidies on vehicle purchases. This market barrier saw South Korean demand for EV battery materials rise just by 46pc last year in each segment, pushing lithium use to 1,538t, nickel demand to 6,150t and cobalt to 3,194t.
But China’s EV subsidies are scheduled to end next year, with South Korean battery producers to capitalise with production expansions. Much of the growth will not show in statistics as South Korean demand because most of the new production lines will be in China, Europe and the US. South Korea’s SK Innovation started work this week on a $1bn plant in the US state of Georgia that is scheduled to be completed in 2021, aiming to boost the company’s production capacity to 60GWh by 2022 from 4.7GWh currently.
Japanese cobalt demand rose by 116pc in 2018 to 4,330t, while the country’s nickel use rose by 108pc to 17,739t, INI said. Japan had the largest gain in lithium use, up by 93pc to 2,891t. But its manganese demand dropped by 29pc to 2,134t.
EV battery producers have formed partnerships with materials producers to help stabilise their supply lines, INI said. But the industry needs to minimise use of cobalt and develop next generation products that use less of the element because of its high and volatile cost, it added.

Parent company of Hyundai, Kia and Genesis Motor will launch a new platform for electric cars in the next two years
Hyundai Group – the parent firm of Hyundai, Kia and luxury brand Genesis Motor – will launch a new platform for electric cars by 2021.
Speaking to our sister title Auto Express, an insider at Hyundai Group said: “A new platform dedicated to electric vehicles is about two years away. It will probably focus on B and C-segment [small and medium-sized] cars.â€
It’ll allow Hyundai, Kia and Genesis Motor to build more bespoke electric cars. Currently, all of Hyundai Group’s electric cars are based on existing vehicles, which are also available with petrol and diesel engines,
The Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia e-Niro spawned from internal-combustion-engined cars, as did the Kia Soul EV. The latter is expected to arrive in the UK at the end of 2019, although the Kona Electric and e-Niro have sold out entirely for the remainder of this year.
“Customer demand has been higher than expected,†said a spokesperson. “It’s going to take six months to adjust to that level of demand.â€
Hyundai and Kia are planning to have 38 ‘green’ cars in their product line-up by 2025, 14 of which will be fully electric. Genesis Motor is expected to launch its first electric car by 2021.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Group will also press on with the development of hydrogen fuel-cell technology; the hydrogen-powered Hyundai NEXO has just gone on sale in the UK.
“When it comes to electric vehicles, you have to ask whether you want science fiction or whether you want to conform,†design boss Luc Donckerwolke told Auto Express. “We can create something that doesn’t appeal to someone in the traditional sense.
“We need to appeal to millennials and next-generation car buyers. They’re not car people – they want to buy something else.â€
