Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-(May 6th, 2014) – Next Gen Metals Inc. (“Next Gen”, the “Company”) (CSE: N, OTC Pink: NXTTF, FSE: M5BN) is pleased to announce that it has established its second %100 owned subsidiary, GreenRush Analytical Laboratories Inc. (GAL).

Harry Barr, President and CEO stated, “New laws and legislations in Canada and in the United States allow production of Legal/Medical Marijuana. An increasing number of U.S states have allowed Licensed Producers, to produce Medical Marijuana. Additionally, to date, two States have legalized Recreational Marijuana.

In Canada; new federal laws (April 1st 2014) allowed for Licensed Producers to establish new legal Marijuana grow up operations to produce Marijuana. To that end ,and as of today, there are currently thirteen Licensed Producers in Canada and over 650 applications in progress1.

This unpredicted growth in this new multi-billion dollars industry has allowed the directors and management of Next Gen to provide an increasing number of financial solutions for the Medical Marijuana and Industrial Hemp industries.”

Management is currently in the process of assessing and selecting initial locations and jurisdictions to establish the laboratories. Management’s objective is to initiate analytical laboratories in areas with the greatest concentration of Licensed Producers in both the legal Medical Marijuana and Industrial Hemp industries.

Market Demand

Under the new MMPR program, companies that wish to grow and sell medical marijuana must follow a strict set of rules, including quality control and data keeping protocols.

For example, each batch of cannabis must be tested for pesticides, mold and contaminants, in addition to chemical composition, before being sold2.

New standards for quality control and quality assurance in the USA and in Canada are deriving increased demand for these analytical tests and procedures. Three main purposes for Medical Cannabis and Industrial

Hemp testing are:

  1. 1.Health Canada requirements
  2. 2.Patient and consumer safety
  3. 3.Limiting liability for Licensed Producers

Market Size
Health Canada estimates that the market could be worth $1.3 billion by 2024. Analysts and industry experts peg estimates to be closer to $2.6 billion by 2016.

The medical community, health givers and patients demanding product testing to understand the safety and the strength of a particular product, and find the best medicine to alleviate their particular ailments.

Southern Sun Minerals Inc. Seeking New Projects

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:30 AM on Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

Vancouver, British Columbia / May 6th, 2014 / SOUTHERN SUN MINERALS INC. (“SOUTHERN SUN”) (TSX.V: SSI.P), announces that it is currently conducting due diligence on a number of business proposals.

Currently, the Company has not concluded an agreement nor has it determined through negotiations, any actual terms or conditions at this time. The Company is aggressively pursuing various opportunities and is continuing to review proposals that meet the Company`s criteria for investment or acquisition in areas of agri-mining, research and development, science and technology, retail products and the legal industrial hemp and medical marijuana business sectors.

Although the Company may not necessarily conclude any new business ventures, it will take the necessary steps to comply with all regulatory and exchange rules in the event it does do so.

On other matters, the Company is considering plans for a summer exploration program on its Galleon project in Alaska. The property is located approximately 96 km (60 miles) due south of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Galleon Project has significant VMS mineralization occurrences that are known at 4 main locations on the property. The Property consists of 36 quarter-section State of Alaska mining claims. Past exploration, including mapping, rock and soil sampling and trenching as well as limited drilling, has been conducted on the Property intermittently since its discovery in 1975 by Resource Associates of Alaska. In 2011, a dipole-dipole complex resistivity induced polarization geophysics was conducted over 3.91 lie-km. Known mineralization on the Property occurs at three prospects; however, this observation must be qualified by stating that much of the Property is virtually unexplored. Mineralization on the Property is characterized by highly anomalous gold, silver, lead and zinc and is interpreted as VMS type. A 2014 exploration program consisting of soil sampling, mapping, the completion of a property-wide geologic map and a possible follow up to the detailed CRIP survey is currently in the planning process.

In view of the above, the company is giving consideration for a financing which would be applied to advance our existing project and for working capital.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors

Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Industry Gather for GreenRush Financial Conference in Vancouver

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:58 AM on Monday, May 5th, 2014

Next Gen Subsidiary Announces First of Global Series of Industry, Finance and Investment Conferences

VANCOUVER,B.C., May 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A hundred and fifty years ago, Harry Barr’s (President and CEO of Next Gen Metals) (CSE:N) (OTC Pink:NXTTF), ancestors began farming in the Ottawa Valley. As far back as pre WWII, the family farm was producing hemp, which in those days was used primarily for rope for the War Act.

At 23, a young Harry Barr graduated from the University of Guelph in Agribusiness and began a career that forged him into a global mining executive and financier. Barr notes that since 1985, every exploration company he has started is still in business today and managed from Vancouver.

Now, Barr’s company has seized the opportunity to incubate and mentor those legal marijuana and hemp companies that have the technical savvy, but require the business acumen that any new or expanding industry needs; be it fundraising, complex negotiation skills, capital markets expertise, public company administration or IPO’s.

Those tenets will take shape in a big way on May 7th, when Next Gen’s 100 percent-owned subsidiary, GreenRush Financial Conferences launches in Vancouver at the Convention Centre East and the Pan Pacific Hotel with the first of a series of global Medical Marijuana and Industrial Hemp conferences, bringing together stakeholders, investors, companies and the legal community. Simply put, these conferences intend to be the premier purveyor of investment education and finance for the Medical Marijuana, Industrial Hemp and Alternative Medicine industries.

“I applaud Mr. Barr for being a pioneer and recognizing the lack of Marijuana expositions in Canada that focus on finance,” stated Mike Withrow, President and CEO of Abattis Bioceuticals Corp (OTC PINK:ATTBF). “We now have a forum to tell the world about our Grow Dry Extract Refine and Sciences model coined GDERS.”

“The Medical Marijuana business is slowly recapitalizing the junior mining industry in Canada,” stated Harry Barr, CEO of Next Gen. “But more than that, it is quickly bringing together the legal and industry forces necessary to give a complex, highly regulated market the visibility and transparency that investors require.”

Barr’s quote that the Medical Marijuana Industry is recapitalizing junior mining is a result of the fact that Canadian Securities Laws have allowed for thousands of Venture Capital companies to be formed. Given the mining downturn of the last three years, many of these entrepreneurs with proven fund raising and capital market abilities are now taking their shareholders into this new multibillion-dollar industry.

As well as discussing direct investment opportunities, the GreenRush Conferences will focus on the latest Medical Marijuana research, legal issues and give an overview of the industrial hemp market and the role of Alternative Medicines.

There is little chance that growth in this space will retreat anytime soon. The majority of support for the legalization exceeds 50% in Boomers and hits 65% for Millennials. From 1969 to 2013, legalization of marijuana supporters grew from 12% to 52%. Those wanting it to remain illegal dropped from 84% to 45% in the same period.

Barr was an early adopter who, using mining parlance, staked his claim in the Medical Marijuana space well before most others. Unlike some juniors, from Day One, his approach was not knee-jerk opportunism, but a well thought out business strategy utilizing decades of business acumen to add consistent shareholder value.

Management of Next Gen (as well as other entrepreneurs) is very good at raising capital. The Company intends to extend its brand to this industry and is actively seeking and reviewing new business plans. It intends to be a leader in the space and the go-to Company for legal marijuana and industrial hemp investments.

Barr is also the driving force of the International Metals Group (IMG), a brain bank of project acquisition, exploration and development professionals, including dedicated CEOs, geologists, engineers, corporate finance and investor relations experts, corporate managers, public company administrators, and regulatory and government affairs specialists.

To date, IMG companies (past and present) have completed over 300 option/joint venture agreements with major, mid-tier and junior companies and raised over $250,000,000 to advance their projects throughout 9 countries.

Barr could well be right in his assumptions, being a fixture on the mining scene for 29 years. As CEO, Chairman and Director of Pacific North West Capital Corp, he is also Chairman and CEO of El Nino Ventures, President of Next Gen Minerals (CSE:N) (OTC Pink: NXTTF) and Chairman of Southern Sun Minerals. Pacific North West Capital Corp is a controlling shareholder of Next Gen (22%), approximately 10% of El Nino Ventures and has a modest but important stake in Southern Sun Minerals.

Barr is not abandoning his mining roots and projects. In Ontario, Barr’s Pacific Northwest Capital made a grass roots discovery on its River Valley Platinum Group metal property, which is now a multi-million ounce deposit. The Group’s mining team is working hard to joint venture this advanced stage project with a company capable of financing this project to production.

As well, in Bathurst, New Brunswick, Mr. Barr’s El Nino Venture’s has two option agreements with Glencore Canada and Brazil’s second largest mining company Votorantim. Earlier this year El Nino won a five-year international arbitration on its D.R.C. copper discovery freeing up this project for continued development.

The GreenRush Financial Conference Exhibitor Space opens at 7:00 am; the opening talk is at 8:00am and concludes at 6:pm on May 7th at the Vancouver Convention Centre East and Ballrooms A/B/C/ in the Pan Pacific Hotel. The final hour hosts a discussion entitled; “The Great Debate: Legalization versus Prohibition,” followed by drinks and informal networking and discussion.

As well as an impressive lineup of speakers, there is an exhibitor hall with representatives from the Medical Marijuana community, investment dealers, financial professionals, media and the legal profession. Investors, media and other interested individuals can register through the conference site at www.greenrushfinancialconferences.com.

Of the more than two-dozen speakers are Bruce Linton from Tweed Marijuana (TSX-V:TWD), Harry Barr from Next Gen Metals, Chris Bunka from Lexaria Corp (OTCQB:LXRP), Craig Goodwin of Naturally Splendid (TSX-V:NSP), John Conroy of Conroy & Company and Daniel L. Kiselbach from Deloitte.

While the Medical Marijuana market represents a unique investment opportunity, it is important for investors to arm themselves with the facts in this complex, burgeoning market. Highly regulated, the companies that do the stringent due diligence necessary and develop the most growth-oriented alliances and partnerships will undoubtedly be the names that rise to the top as the space matures and garners increasing investor interest.

Garibaldi Signs Option to Buy Two B.C. Cu-Au Properties

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:43 PM on Thursday, May 1st, 2014

GARIBALDI EXPANDS NORTHWEST B.C. PRESENCE

Recognizing the extraordinary mineral wealth potential and dynamic pace of development in northwest British Columbia, Garibaldi Resources Corp. has acquired two highly prospective copper-gold porphyry properties within the Stikine arch to complement its flagship Grizzly project in the prolific Sheslay Valley district.

“The rapid progress at Sheslay, combined with mining and infrastructure developments regionally, accelerated our plans to target and capture more exceptional ground within the Stikine Arch at the bottom of the market cycle,” stated Steve Regoci, President and CEO of Garibaldi. “This gives our shareholders a very strategic leveraged opportunity for the future while we focus immediately and vigorously on unlocking the value of the Grizzly.”

Garibaldi’s early bird strategy of selectively acquiring exciting key prospects exhibiting particular mineralogical features has consistently paid dividends for our shareholders,” Regoci continued. “This is evidenced by the acquisition and sale of the Temoris project in Mexico, plus the acquisition, expansion and accelerating exploration of our dominant land position, the largest of any junior, within the copper-gold porphyry rich Sheslay Valley corridor. The addition of Red Lion and Mount Saint Mary to the Garibaldi property portfolio emphasizes our confidence in a vibrant and exciting future for mining in this part of the province.”

Red Lion

The Red Lion prospect, comprising 35 sq. km, is located 60 km south of AuRico Gold’s Kemess mine and adjoins the Kiska Metals’ Kliyul Cu-Au porphyry project under option to Teck Resources Ltd. The Red Lion shows extremely strong Cu-Au stream sediment geochemistry in both Government Regional Geochemical Survey responses and follow-up proprietary surveys. Access and infrastructure at Red Lion are excellent with the powerline to the Kemess South mine only three km away.

Mount Sister Mary (MSM)

The MSM prospect, comprising 58 sq. km, is located approximately 50 km northeast of Imperial Metals’ Red Chris mine and is underlain by similar Triassic and Jurassic volcanic and plutonic rocks. Government Regional Geochemical Survey responses confirm prior assessment work in which at least eight Cu-Ag-Au showings have been documented on the property.

Option Terms

Both the Red Lion and the MSM properties were acquired from one vendor by way of a 4-year option agreement to purchase a 100% interest on the following terms: $18,500 CDN and 75,000 shares within 10 days of TSX Venture approval. Garibaldi will issue 150,000 common shares in each of the first three years of the option and 500,000 shares in the fourth year. The vendor retains a 2% NSR, half of which Garibaldi may purchase at any time for $2,000,000 CDN.

Shares Issued For Hat East and Hat East 2 Claims – Sheslay Valley

Garibaldi has issued the vendor 100,000 common shares of the Company pursuant to a property purchase agreement dated January 27, 2014, between the Company and an arms-length party for the Hat East and Hat East 2 claims comprising 1,653 hectares (see Garibaldi news release January 31, 2014). The shares are subject to applicable hold periods and may not be traded until July 10, 2014.
