Robix Starts Construction of its Patented Clean Ocean Vessel (COV)

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:34 AM on Wednesday, May 7th, 2014

LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA–(May 7, 2014) Robix Alternative Fuels Inc. (“Robix” or the “Corporation”) (CSE:RZX), (R0X:Frankfurt) announced today that it has recently completed the engineering drawings for the Clean Ocean Vessel (COV) and ordered critical components to initiate construction on the COV. The engineering drawings were completed by Rayco Steel Ltd, of Sparwood, BC.The highly anticipated COV is expected to be ready for commissioning in approximately four months. Robix holds a patent covering its unique COV technology.

The COV is an ocean vessel, catamaran-hull barge design, capable of recovering oil from water, in virtually any conditions, especially in rough seas (40 Foot COV is stable up to Beaufort 6, or 8 feet ocean waves). Contra-rotating drums lift oil/water fluid from the surface of the ocean and scavenger blades “scrape” the oil/water fluid off the drums into storage tanks within the catamaran hulls. A prototype of the technology has been tested, is proven and scaleable. The COV has received independent verification through a Certificate of Endorsement by COPP, the USA based Committee for Oil Pollution Prevention.

How the COV compares to the competition:

·Rates of oil recovered and recovery-throughput efficiencies are noted as “oil rate of recovery” (ORR) and “recovery efficiency” (RE).

·The water surface lifting force generated by the COV’s patented contra-rotating drums acts in a suction or pumping manner that increases the ORR compared to conventional skimmer systems and the RE of the COV is in the 90-97% range. This is competitive with best in class 21st century technology in terms of ORR and RE.

·Further improvements to the ORR (in terms of gallons per minute) could easily catapult the COV to “top three” status, by increasing the surface area of the drums through design modifications without impairing the stability of the vessel which is inherent to the COV design.

·When our competitors’ skimmer systems meet waves above 18 inches, they are forced to suspend service. The COV operates in rough sea conditions (as high as 8 feet waves), significantly out-performing its competitors, and stands in a class of its own.

“This marks the beginning of our preparation for the commercial launch of our COV product,” commented Nathan Hansen, President and CEO of Robix Alternative Fuels. “The COV’s ability to operate so efficiently even in rough water truly sets this product apart from its competition. We are in active discussions with potential strategic partners that have existing global market access, but lack a truly unique solution such as the COV, in oil spill response and recovery.”

About Robix:

The Corporation is an “industrial products/technology” company, offering to investors a unique opportunity to participate in a leading company in the business of ownership of patents, and their development from commercialization to worldwide expansion through various business arrangements.Robix owns a Clean Ocean Vessel (“COV”) patent, which is an oil spill recovery vessel design with the capability to recover oil in rough and debris laden sea conditions. Robix has recognized a worldwide market opportunity for effective containment, recovery and disposal equipment, particularly in the oil spill protection industry, and it proposes to develop a business model as a service provider, and/or equipment provider under licensing agreements with other industry participants, wherein Robix will use its COV patented design solution.

Bold Ventures Inc. and KWG Resources Inc.: Drill Program Successfully Extends Black Horse Chromite Deposit and Discovers Gold on Koper Lake Project in Ring of Fire

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:21 AM on Wednesday, May 7th, 2014

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(May 7, 2014) – Bold Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BOL) (“Bold”) and KWG Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KWG) (“KWG”) are pleased to jointly announce the following drilling results from the second diamond drill program on their Koper Lake Joint Venture in the Ring of Fire Northeastern Ontario, which is under option by Bold from Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (see Bold’s press release dated January 7, 2013). In turn KWG has optioned the property from Bold on terms that are described in a Bold press release dated March 4, 2013. If KWG fulfills all of the optional commitments to earn the 100% working interest in the Koper Lake Property under the agreement with Fancamp, then, in the case of chromite resources, KWG would hold an 80% working interest and Bold would hold a 20% working interest in the development of the chromite resources in accordance with the Chromite Interest feasibility study required to be produced to earn the interest in the property. Furthermore, at the completion of the earn in requirements Bold would have an 80% working interest in any and all metals other than chromite and KWG would have a 20% working interest in any and all metals other than chromite.

Preparations of the camp and drills began January 1, 2014 and the first hole was collared on January 18th, and the second on January 22nd. First Nations people were employed on site, with Haveman Bros. from Kakabeka Falls near Thunder Bay providing procurement and camp services and Orbit Garant Drilling Inc. of Val-d’Or, Québec providing the contract drills.

During the program, 6 holes were completed (FN-14-038 to 043) totaling 4,645 metres. (see Table below for drill-hole statistics and the maps below for location)

Program Objectives:

The primary objective of the program was to increase the size of the inferred resource contained by the Black Horse chromite deposit. The drilling plan was designed such that the chromite intercepts were optimally spaced with respect to existing intercepts to permit the designation of the delineated chromite mineralization as an inferred resource. As such, drill holes were laid out to intercept the downward projection of the previously defined chromitite.

The secondary objective was to test an east-west trending gravity anomaly delineated by a detailed ground gravity survey conducted during the 2013 drilling program. The anomaly is located 1 kilometer northeast of the Black Horse chromite deposit, a location previously designated as the C-6 target on the basis of a prominent north-south trending magnetic anomaly that resembles the anomaly associated with the Eagles Nest nickel-copper-PGE deposit on the neighbouring Noront Resources mining claims.

Maps and a cross-section can be viewed on the Bold and KWG websites: www.boldventuresinc.com, www.kwgresources.com

Drill results – Black Horse:

Three holes, FN-14-040, 042 and 043, intercepted chromite mineralization confirming the continuity of the Black Horse chromite deposit. Also reported here is the assay results of drill-hole FNCB-13-031, a hole drilled during the 2013 program. This hole, drilled sub-parallel to the north-south boundary with the neighbouring Noront Resources property, crossed the boundary due to an unusually high degree of curvature. Noront took possession of all drill-core from that portion of the hole that was within their property. Noront proceeded to document the core and submit it for assay. These assay results were subsequently released to Bold and KWG.


The interval reported is not true width. True width will be determined during resource modeling.

Hole FNCB-13-031 intersected 130.22 metres (427 ft.) of chromite mineralization, from 795.28 to 925.5 metres, in a well layered sequence of heavily disseminated, semi-massive and massive chromitite. This 130.22 metre interval has a weighted average grade of 25.31% Cr2O3. It includes higher grade intervals, 44.81 metres, from 795.28 to 840.09 metres, grading 32.08% Cr2O3; and 25.87 metres, from 869.2 to 895.07 metres grading 35.60% Cr2O3. This intercept is 25 to 50 metres west of the claim boundary at a depth ranging from 710 to 830 metres from surface.

Hole FN-14-040 intersected 129 metres (423 ft.) of massive chromite mineralization containing silicate clast, from 1053 to 1182 metres with an average grade of 37.63% Cr2O3. This includes higher grade intervals of 70.5 metres (231 ft.), from 1111.5 to 1182 metres grading 42.02% Cr2O3, and 19.5 metres (63 ft.), from 1111.5 to 1131 metres grading 45.78% Cr2O3. This intercept is located at the midpoint of the known strike extent of the deposit in the vicinity of hole FN-10-26, at a depth of 1040 to 1185 metres (3,412 to 3,887 ft.) from surface. This hole confirms that chromite distribution transitions from being well layered in the southwest to consolidating as thick massive beds to the northeast.

Hole FN-14-42 intersected 174.96 metres (574 ft.) of chromite mineralization, from 896.55 to 1071 metres, in a well layered sequence of heavily disseminated, semi-massive and massive chromitite. A 154.07 metre (505 ft.) interval from 901.07 to 1055.14 metres has an average grade of 25.04% Cr2O3, including a 35.78 metre (117 ft.) interval from 918.99 to 954.77 metres with an average grade of 31.92% Cr2O3. This intercept is 50 metres (164 ft.) east of the claim boundary at 845 to 995 metres (2,772 to 3,264 ft.) from surface.

Hole FN-14-43 intersected 88.04 metres (288 ft.) of chromite mineralization, from 712 to 800.52 metres with an average grade of 24.71% Cr2O3, in a layered sequence of heavily disseminated, semi-massive and massive chromitite. A 36.43 metre (119 ft.) interval, from 756.26 to 792.69, has an average grade of 36.43% Cr2O3.

In summation, the 2014 drilling campaign has not only demonstrated the continuity of the chromite mineralization, it found that it is substantially thicker than anticipated.

Drill results; C-6 target, gold discovery:

Three holes, FN-14-038, 039 and 041 tested the east-west gravity anomaly at the C-6 target area, one kilometer northeast of the Black Horse chromite deposit, for potential chromite mineralization.

Hole FN-14-038 was collared south of the anomaly and drilled northwards where it intersected chromite bearing pyroxenites and peridotites from 40.62 to 214.22 metres. The chromite is irregularly dispersed as fine and heavy disseminations and short intervals of semi-massive chromite. Assays ranged up to 19.29% Cr2O3 over 0.67 metres.

Hole FN-14-039 was collared 100 metres (328 ft.) south of hole 038, and drilled northwards underneath hole 038. Chromite bearing pyroxenite was intersected from 170.9 to 302.05 metres with assays ranging up to 7.92% Cr2O3 over one meter. The pyroxenite from 170.9 to 302.05 was subjected to shearing, alteration and veining resulting in a quartz-magnesite-talc breccia with occasional disseminated sulphides and fuchsite. From 223.97 to 224.47 metres, a 0.5 meter quartz vein containing 15% chalcopyrite, 1% pyrrhotite assayed 8.85 grams per tonne gold. A re-assay of this sample was 12.20 grams per tonne gold.

A one meter sample from 198 to 199 metres was assayed in duplicate as a result of the QA/QC protocol. These two assays were 2.2 and 2.45 grams per ton gold. A re-assay of this sample was 3.25 grams per ton gold. This sample was of a sulphide poor quartz-magnesite-talc breccia.

Hole FN-14-041 was collared 105 metres east of hole 039. It intersected the quartz-magnesite-talc breccia from 71.5 to 177.5 metres, all of which was assayed, the highest gold assay being 143 ppb. The remainder of the hole, to 363 metres, consisted of altered pyroxenite without chromite.

The quartz-magnesite-talc breccia intersected in holes FN-14-039 and 041 is interpreted to be the extension of the same breccia zone intersected 15 times in the vicinity of the Black Horse chromite deposit and which is interpreted to be the extension of the gold bearing JJJ zone on the adjacent Noront property.

Future Work:

A revised 43-101 compliant resource calculation will benefit from the three significant new chromite intercepts produced during this program. The better understanding of chromite distribution in the Black Horse deposit will focus future drilling towards the higher grade northeastern portion of the deposit which remains open at depth and on strike to the northeast. An evaluation of previous geophysical surveys will be undertaken in context of potential sulphide rich gold mineralization.

Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security:

The assay and sample information as well as geological descriptions are taken from drill logs as prepared by the project geologists for the drill program. All drill core was NQ in size and assays are completed on split or sawed half-cores, with the second half of the core kept for future reference. The samples are put into rice bags which are sealed with security locks for shipping directly to Activation Labs (“Actlabs”), an accredited assay laboratory, in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Stringent QAQC procedures are followed. Samples are shipped to the laboratory in batches of 35 samples. Each sample batch includes 2 standards, 1 blank, and 1 duplicate that are inserted on site, plus a duplicate coarse reject and 1 duplicate pulp that are prepared at the laboratory and inserted. In addition, Actlabs also employs a rigorous in-house QAQC regime which includes standards, blanks and duplicates.

Once the final assays are received from Actlabs and prior to any data being released to the public, a review of all QAQC data is conducted by an independent qualified person to ensure that the data released are within predetermined norms.

All samples are analyzed by Actlabs at either their main laboratory in Ancaster, Ontario or at their Thunder Bay, Ontario facility. Both laboratories are ISO accredited. All samples are assayed for:

  • Au, Pd & Pt by fire assay with an ICP/OES finish (Actlabs code 1C-OES).
  • 15 major element oxides, including Cr2O3 by fusion-XRF (Actlabs code 4C).

St-Georges Provides Corporate Update

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:45 PM on Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

 

Montreal, Quebec / May 6, 2014 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) would like to inform its shareholders and stakeholders about the progress of its operations. The Company would also like to inform its shareholders that it filed its annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis or MD&A on April 30, 2014, for the period ended December 31, 2013. The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR at the address www.sedar.com under St-Georges Platinum.

Zambian Projects

The Company entered into a binding agreement to acquire two Copper-Cobalt-Gold projects in Zambia on February 5, 2014. The initial agreement called for a 90-day due diligence to expire at midnight Eastern Standard Time on May 5, 2014. Due diligence is progressing at a good pace with most of the title verification completed. Geological and Metallurgical testing will take additional time. St-Georges’ technical team has adopted a sceptical approach in reviewing the recent production data due to the high numbers and especially very high copper and cobalt grades reported to the Company by the operator on site. The Company had expected to rely on independent third party visit reports to conclude the due diligence but, in light of the current situation, management has decided to send a team on site later this month or in the early part of the month of June. Management also plans to acquire 500 metric tonnes of production mineral concentrate from the current Mwinilunga production in order to independently verify the grades and conduct metallurgical testing. Large portion of this bulk test will be conducted by AGAT Laboratories in Canada. The company also plans to hire two local mining engineers in the month of May to help with this due diligence effort. Finally, independent laboratory testing of the shipped material, and selected grab samples taken along the reef structure on Mwinilunga are expected this month and the Company will release more details about the progress of the due diligence conducted on site later this month.

The Company expects to conclude its due diligence no later than June 30, 2014 and would like to put the agreement to a shareholders vote at a Shareholders meeting as soon as the due diligence has been completed. The acquisition would be finalized right after a positive vote at the Shareholder Meeting expected in August 2014.

On May 5, 2014, the Company signed an amendment to the February 5, 2014 binding term sheet agreement that extends the due diligence period option until June 30, 2014 and the proposed closing date to no later than August 31, 2014.

Other Corporate Matters

Metallurgical Extraction Technologies Subsidiary

On December 3, 2013 the Company announced that it had entered into an option agreement with Allied Nickel in order to acquire a North American Exclusive License for Patented Technologies controlled by Allied. Lack of financial resources and time constraints caused by the acquisition of the Zambian projects limited the abilities of the Company to conduct a satisfactory due diligence on the technologies at stake. Allied informed the Company that they are willing to negotiate new terms or a new agreement with St-Georges but no details have been communicated as yet. St-Georges consider that there is no current agreement for the time being and it is evaluating other avenues to advance its intentions to build a metallurgical and processing technologies division.

Highlights from the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013

  • — Total assets of the Company as at December 31, 2013 were $1,428,804 following a write down of $6,796,442 to recognize an impairment in the value of its Quebec mining exploration and evaluation assets.– Shareholders’ equity in St-Georges was $270,675 as at December 31, 2013.– As at December 31, 2013 St-Georges had negative working capital of $493,533 compared to negative working capital at December 31, 2012 of $1,672,027.

    — As at April 30, 2014, the Company had 28,448,661 common shares issued and outstanding. At the closing price of $0.125 on that date, the market capitalization of St-Georges was $3,556,083.

According to Vivian Doyle-Kelly, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, “2013 was a year of transition as St-Georges addressed its management structure and balance sheet in order to position itself to develop its strategic vision and take advantage of opportunities which it has identified”

About the Zambian Projects

The Mwinilunga Copper-Cobalt-Gold Project. Covering 740 hectares (7.4 km2) , the project is located close to the Angola and DRC borders and is in the vicinity of CopperZone and Vale Inco’s Luamata Joint-Venture Project. Current small scale punctual production of 3,000 tonnes of Copper Concentrate (15%) per month on the mining license will be consolidated under St-Georges’ control at closing of the transaction, and will be managed under a service agreement to be finalized before the end of the due diligence period.

The Shongwa IOCG & Nickel Project. Covers an area of 72,600 hectares (726 Km2) and is located approximately 60 km northwest of the town of Kasempa. There is a current JORC Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) in place and the Company plans to verify and integrate the historical and JORC information into new NI 43-101 reports, and is currently evaluating the level of work required. The Company further expects to initiate work on a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment Study (PEA) later in 2014 or early 2015, conditional to the closing of the acquisition transaction.

(“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.

In light of Next Gen’s vision and having completed our first two investments, Management’s objective is to invest in a basket of company’s within this growing industry. The company’s business model continues to generate new business plans and project submittals 24/7.

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

Harry Barr
Chairman & CEO
Southern Sun Minerals Inc.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

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.

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.

The CNSX has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
