FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This release includes forward-looking statements. Statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The Company makes forward-looking public statements concerning its expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, financing plans, business strategy, products and services, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, including statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “if,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are estimates reflecting the Company’s best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. It is impossible to identify all such factors but they include and are not limited to the existence of underground deposits of commercial quantities of oil and gas; cessation or delays in exploration because of mechanical, weather, operating, financial or other problems; capital expenditures that are higher than anticipated; or exploration opportunities being fewer than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that road or site conditions will be favorable for field work; no assurance that well treatments or workovers will have any effect on oil or gas production; no assurance that oil field interconnections will have any measurable impact on oil or gas production or on field operations, and no assurance that any expected new well(s) will be drilled or have any impact on the Company. There can be no assurance that expected oil and gas production will actually materialize; and thus no assurance that expected revenue will actually occur. There is no assurance the Company will have sufficient funds to drill additional wells, or to complete acquisitions or other business transactions. Such forward looking statements also include estimated cash flows, revenue and current and/or future rates of production of oil and natural gas, which can and will fluctuate for a variety of reasons; oil and gas reserve quantities produced by third parties; and intentions to participate in future exploration drilling. Adverse weather conditions including but not limited to surface flooding can delay operations, impact production, and cause reductions in revenue. The Company may not have sufficient expertise to thoroughly exploit its oil and gas properties. The Company may not have sufficient funding to thoroughly explore, drill or develop its properties. Access to capital, or lack thereof, is a major risk and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise required working capital. Current oil and gas production rates may not be sustainable and targeted production rates may not occur. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to, government regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the effect of adverse publicity, litigation, competition and other factors which may be identified from time to time in the Company’s public announcements and filings. There is no assurance that the medical marijuana business or any member of the management team or consultant will provide any benefit to Lexaria.

KWG Resources Inc.: Divisional Court Permits 30-Minute Intervention by AGO/MNDM in Cliffs’ Appeal of Mining Commissioner Decision

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:11 PM on Tuesday, April 29th, 2014

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(April 29, 2014) – KWG Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KWG) (“KWG”) advises that an Order has been made by the Divisional Court of the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario following argument yesterday of the application of the Attorney General of Ontario, for leave to intervene on behalf of the Minister of Northern Development and Mines in an appeal to be heard by the Court in mid-June.

The scheduled hearing results from a Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. subsidiary (“Cliffs”) having appealed a decision of the Mining and Lands Commissioner of Ontario rendered on September 10, 2013. In that decision, the tribunal dismissed Cliffs’ application for an order to dispense with the consent of KWG so that an easement might be granted to Cliffs to build a road over the mining claims staked and assessed by KWG subsidiary Canada Chrome Corporation.

Divisional Court Justice Thomas Lederer ordered that the Attorney General, on behalf of the Minister of Northern Development and Mines, should be granted leave to address the Divisional Court panel to be convened to hear the Cliffs appeal provided the representations are concluded within a half-hour.

About KWG: KWG has a 30% interest in the Big Daddy chromite deposit and the right to earn 80% of the Black Horse chromite where resources are being defined. KWG also owns 100% of Canada Chrome Corporation which has staked claims and conducted a $15 million surveying and soil testing program for the engineering and construction of a railroad to the Ring of Fire from Exton, Ontario.

Creator of Charlotte’s Web marijuana strain says Canada legislation is archaic

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:18 PM on Tuesday, April 29th, 2014
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Tuesday, April 29, 2014 11:14AM EDT

The developer of a special strain of marijuana marketed to children hopes to convince Health Canadato allow the product in the country, as some Canadian families head south of the border to receive the drug that’s been shown to significantly reduce seizures.

Colorado cannabis producer Josh Stanley and his brothers developed Charlotte’s Web — a special strain of marijuana oil with very little THC and very high cannabidiol (CBD), the component believed to reduce seizures.

The marijuana extract is designed not to produce a high, but instead fight seizures through its high level of anti-inflammatory properties.

Josh Stanley, the developer of a special strain of marijuana marketed to children, hopes to convince Health Canada to allow the product in the country.

The strain is named in honour of Charlotte Figi, a U.S. girl who was losing a lifelong battle to epilepsy until she began using the marijuana oil.

“When we had met Charlotte, unfortunately, her family had signed a do-not-resuscitate order,” Stanley told CTV’s Canada AM on Tuesday.

Charlotte was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome, a rare and catastrophic form epilepsy that begins in infancy. Prior to testing the oil she was suffering from about 350 seizures a week.

Doctors had told the Figi family there were few options left for the youngster after the majority of anti-epileptic drugs had failed to work. Neurologists removed Charlotte from the drugs she had been prescribed. She began using the cannabis oil as an end of life comfort measure.

“Immediately after starting this all-natural, organic treatment, she went from 350 seizures to zero,” Stanley said. “And two-and-a-half years later she remains 97- per cent seizure-free.”

The marijuana extract is produced in Colorado, but state law does not allow the shipment or sale of marijuana products out-of-state.

Stanley said this has led to the creation of “medical refugees.” He said a number of families have moved to Colorado from throughout the U.S., and some from Canada, to receive the treatment.

“Kids come there and get the treatment, but then they become prisoners in Colorado,” he said. “They’re not able to leave the state.”

Since that winter of 2012 more than 180 pediatric epilepsy patients have started treatment. Stanley said “thousands” of others are on the waiting list, including some children from Canada.

Health Canada does not permit the sale of cannabis resins, oils, extractions and edible marijuana products. Only dry medical marijuana can be sold to clients.

Stanley described the medical marijuana legislation in Canada as “archaic.”

“Heath Canada seems to want to push kids to smoking, or people to smoking, because extracts are not allowed,” he said.

Stanley said the best way to change health officials’ minds about the marijuana oil is to “show them they have a problem.”

“What we’re talking about here is life or death for many of these children,” he said.
