QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) Announces Changes to Senior Leadership Team to Advance Growth Plan; Featured on Uptick Newswire

Vertically integrated cannabis company Sunniva (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) today announced changes to its California leadership team to support growth of its branded product lines to be sold throughout 2019. Kevin Wilkerson was promoted to president of Sun CA Holdings, from his former position as COO, and will be responsible for Sunniva’s California operations. In addition, Mary Patton officially joined the Sunniva team as vice president of marketing in December 2018, after several years of consulting with the company, and will be responsible for overseeing the Sunniva brand launch in California later this year. Wilkerson has been active in the cannabis space since 2014, providing operations, distribution, logistics and technology expertise to the industry. Patton is a seasoned business executive and veteran cannabis activist and has worked with Sunniva on a consulting basis since 2015, providing assistance with strategic planning, regulatory compliance, licensing, product development and marketing.

In addition, the company’s Co-Founder, President, Chief Strategy Officer and Director, Leith Pedersen, was featured on Uptick Newswire Stock Day with Everett Jolly. The interview opens with Jolly mentioning that Sunniva operates in the two largest cannabis markets, Canada and California, and asking for an update on the California market with Sunniva’s stock becoming one of the best performers in the last 30 days. “Our focus in 2017 and 2018 was really to build, secure, and license the necessary infrastructure to secure the upcoming launch of the Sunniva house of brands,” Pedersen stated. “We provide safe, pesticide free products for consumers with the ability to produce on a large scale, and that took time. California really is our main focus at this juncture, we have operating assets there currently and it’s the largest cannabis market in the world, but it’s still riddled with noncompliant cannabis products.” Pedersen went on to discuss the company’s key pillars of success, including cultivation at scale, the company’s revenue-generating extraction facility to produce non-smokable products, and distribution that allows Sunniva to secure shelf space for all product lines.

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (MCOA) Engages in the Cultivation and Distribution of Hemp-Derived Products

MCOA supports a variety of portfolio companies, which participate at different levels within the cannabis and hemp industries
The company has CBD-derived product brand hempSMART as a primary portfolio holding
MCOA provides turn-key services to the legal cannabis and hemp industries

Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTCQB: MCOA) delivers recognized brands via innovative marketing distribution companies. MCOA is an umbrella company. It is undergoing development to support an array of portfolio companies that participate within the cannabis and hemp industries. Primarily an industrial hemp business, one of MCOA’s main companies is wholly owned subsidiary hempSMART Inc. Company management has expertise in cultivation, processing and distribution. MCOA has its corporate headquarters in Escondido, California.

The company provides turn-key services to the legal cannabis and hemp industries. Most of MCOA’s projects are involved in the cultivation and distribution of hemp-derived products. Its hempSMART subsidiary offers a line of industrial hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) products, which contain no THC. In addition, hempSMART offers the opportunity to distribute its products as part of its associate marketing model. In essence, MCOA’s focus is on hemp more than marijuana. It is targeting the $3.7 trillion wellness industry with branded cannabidiol products (http://ibn.fm/9Xm9z).

Grand View Research (http://ibn.fm/vFKSd) noted in a report, “The global industrial hemp market size was estimated at USD 3.9 billion in 2017, expanding at a CAGR of 14.0% over the forecast period.” It added (http://ibn.fm/yZZBn), “The global industrial hemp market size is expected to reach USD 10.6 billion by 2025.”

Moreover, Technavio, based on its industry analysis (http://ibn.fm/Mw33r), predicts that, “…the industrial hemp market will grow at a year-over-year rate of 15.3% in 2019, with a CAGR of 15.5% through to 2023.” Moreover, the expectation is that legal marijuana markets will reach $24.5 billion by 2021 (http://ibn.fm/4dw4O).

MCOA is leveraging this growth by establishing itself along different points in the industrial hemp, cannabis and related services supply chains (http://ibn.fm/jaGne). The company and joint venture partner Global Hemp Group Inc. (CSE: GHG) (OTC: GBHPF) recently announced that clone production for the 2019 season at its Scio, Oregon, high yielding CBD hemp project is now very active in preparation for an “as early as possible” planting this year (http://ibn.fm/dGbRc).

Along with hempSMART, MCOA’s portfolio companies include Brunswick Hemp Project, Covered Bridge Acres LTD and MoneyTrac Technology. The company’s product portfolio, by way of hempSMART, includes hempSMART Brain, hempSMART Face, hempSMART Drops, hempSMART Pain Capsules and hempSMART Pain Cream. The company’s certificates of analysis validate the purity and quality of its THC-free products (http://ibn.fm/qryOB).

Furthermore, MCOA places an emphasis on the leasing of real property to separate business entities involved in the growth and sale of cannabis in those states and jurisdictions where cannabis has been legalized and appropriately regulated for medicinal and recreational use. The company additionally engages in the expansion of its business into supplementary areas of the legalized cannabis and hemp industries.

MCOA continues to work to create value for its shareholders. It is doing so with diverse initiatives, including strategically investing in synergistic companies to develop a varied portfolio of subsidiaries and JVs. MCOA envisions a future in which it will be a model for entrepreneurs and businesses that share its common goals and philosophies. This includes creating an environment for businesses to improve quality of life for their customers.

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) Leading the Way as Novel Therapies Fuel Growth of Breast Cancer Treatment Market

The market share of immunotherapy treatments for breast cancer and other malignancies is expected to increase exponentially by 2024
The incidence of breast cancer is set to grow by 50 percent in the next decade
BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. has already established the effectiveness of its lead candidate, Bria-IMT, in clinical trials
A personalized, off-the-shelf immunotherapy solution, Bria-OTS, is under development

With the incidence of breast cancer expected to increase worldwide, the therapeutic market for this particular ailment is also set to grow at a CAGR of eight percent through 2023, according to industry reports (http://ibn.fm/HVYSA). Companies such as BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) will be leading the way, as the development of new treatment solutions is expected to be a primary factor contributing to the market’s growth.

According to the ‘Global Breast Cancer Therapeutics Market 2019-2023’ report, various innovative therapies are emerging to offer breast cancer patients more advanced solutions than the ones currently available. Therapies having the potential to address advanced breast cancer cases will also dominate the market in the years to come, the report concludes.

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp., an immuno-oncology focused biotechnology company, is currently testing such specialized therapies for advanced breast cancer patients. The company is developing immunotherapy solutions that have so far proven to be both highly effective and well-tolerated by patients.

Bria-IMT, the lead BriaCell cancer drug candidate, has delivered promising results in three clinical studies to date. In tests with advanced breast cancer patients, Bria-IMT contributed to tumor shrinkage. Currently, Bria-IMT’s effectiveness is being assessed in combination with KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) by Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK).

Bria-IMT works by providing breast cancer antigens and stimulation of the T-cells – an important part of the immune system responsible for fighting cancer. Proof of concept for this therapy has already been achieved in clinical trials. Its safety has been established as excellent, even in the case of heavily-pretreated advanced breast cancer patients.

The combination study has treated six patients to date with Bria-IMT and KEYTRUDA. All patients tolerated the combination very well, and additional data about the efficacy of the combination will be released in the first quarter of 2019.

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. is also working to develop Bria-OTS – a personalized, off-the-shelf immunotherapy solution for advanced breast cancer patients. Bria-OTS is expected to provide a tailor-made breast cancer solution that is much more cost-efficient and easier to manufacture than alternative treatments.

According to the company, the very same technology could be applicable to the treatment of other types of cancer.

Several studies indicate that the incidence of breast cancer is expected to increase in the next decade (http://ibn.fm/XR9CX). U.S. breast cancer diagnoses are anticipated to grow from 283,000 in 2011 to 441,000 in 2030, an increase of over 50 percent. The proportion of cases diagnosed among women in the 50-to-69 age group is expected to decrease from 55 percent to 44 percent in 2030. Diagnoses among those aged 70 to 84, however, will increase from 24 percent to 35 percent.

Immunotherapy could provide a viable solution to the problem. The cancer immunotherapy market is anticipated to grow to $145 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 14 percent (http://ibn.fm/IBQyc). Immunotherapy currently accounts for 50 percent of the oncology medications market, but it is forecast that roughly 60 percent of previously treated cancer patients will adopt immunotherapy by 2026.

With its dedicated immunotherapies, BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. is on the front line of the battle, exploring new ways to address the unmet medical needs of advanced cancer patients. The potential market is estimated to be between $1 billion and $5 billion, depending on the stage of treatment.

Aziza Project LLC, via its Security Tokens, Offers Investment Opportunities in Southwest Africa

Aziza Project’s security token offering permits token holders to share in company profits
Aziza Project has an investment in Africa New Energies
Its security token value comes from the value of assets held by the Aziza Project in Namibia

Aziza Project LLC offers cyber tokens backed by assets and invests in early-stage oil and gas exploration operations in the underdeveloped regions of Southern Africa. Its initial investment is a 20 percent stake in Africa New Energies (“ANE”). ANE is preparing to drill wells on a Montana-sized portion of Namibia. Aziza Project owns 20 percent of ANE. London-based Aziza Project is working to raise $60 million to complete a 10-well drilling program. It is doing so via the sale of Aziza Coin tokens, which it offered through a security token offering in October 2018 (http://ibn.fm/Fsxl6).

Crypto tokens are used to represent digital assets that are fungible (mutually interchangeable) and tradeable. These tokens are often hosted by another platform, such as the Ethereum blockchain, instead of operating on a blockchain of their own (http://ibn.fm/5ITkB). There are three types of crypto tokens: asset-backed tokens, currency or coin tokens (standalone cryptocurrencies based on their own blockchain) and utility tokens.

Aziza Project’s security token offering (backed by assets) will allow token holders to share in company profits. Its security token is a digital asset deriving its value from a tradeable external asset. Therefore, its value comes from the value of assets held by the Aziza Project, such as its investment in ANE and ANE’s considerable hydrocarbon asset in Africa. Coinmonks (http://ibn.fm/rg7ys) noted in a recent article that, “Even though the ecosystem is young and still developing, there’s incredible potential for security tokens to evolve and pave the way for an entirely new way of investing and raising capital.”

With Aziza Project’s significant investment in ANE, the proving of the oil and gas resource could result in the Aziza Project’s holdings being worth up to $621 million. There’s much to be positive about concerning oil and gas exploration in Africa. South Africa is advancing on boosting its oil and gas sector this year (http://ibn.fm/XNCwV). Furthermore, Uganda is lobbying for investors in its Albertine fields to prospect for oil, and the country is inviting new oil exploration bids (http://ibn.fm/K3sI8).

Namibia is ranked as being business and investor friendly. The nation is ranked “1= most business-friendly regulations” in the Ease of Doing Business Index by Trading Economics (http://ibn.fm/bdvSE). The Financial Times reported that interest in Namibia as an oil and gas region has picked up in recent years. It noted that Namibia has the same geological formations as Brazil, where pre-salt fields have attracted substantial investment (http://ibn.fm/334H0).

Fundamentally, Aziza Project is focusing on the ethical development of oil and gas. Its ANE initiative is a first-rate investment. ANE has title to a 22,000 square kilometer onshore prospective hydrocarbon concession in Namibia, as well as supportive airborne data and geochemical evidence of hydrocarbons (http://ibn.fm/SluV6). Hence, Aziza Project’s return on investment is expected to come from the successful completion of the 10-well drilling program. The success of this program is planned to help ANE finance the construction of a hybrid gas-to-solar power plant in the long term, which will supply low-cost electricity to the local grid.

The crypto industry is moving toward practical mainstream adoption and regulation. Aziza Project is leveraging this trend and offering investors a new way to partake in oil and gas initiatives in Southern Africa through its security tokens. With its cyber tokens and ANE investment, Aziza Project is on course for growth in investor-friendly Namibia.

Spectrum Global Solutions Inc. (SGSI) Announces Uplisting to OTCQB Venture Market

Spectrum Global Solutions sees trading on OTCQB as a necessary next step in its continued development
Demand for increased network capabilities is increasing as global use of data continues to grow exponentially
Spectrum Global is set to reach this increased demand primarily through its multiple subsidiaries with regional, national and global projects

Spectrum Global Solutions Inc. (OTCQB: SGSI), a leading single-source provider of end-to-end, next-generation wireless and wireline networks, recently announced that its stock has been uplisted and approved for trading on the OTCQB Venture Marketplace. The company provides professional service solutions to the service provider and corporate enterprise markets.

CEO Roger Ponder described the benefits of trading on the OTCQB. He referred to it as an “established public market,” allowing only well-established companies to trade. The criteria for approval includes several components. Companies’ financial reporting must be up-to-date (http://ibn.fm/grBUY), and they must also “undergo an annual verification and management certification process.” Ponder sees the listing as a necessary step in the continued growth of Spectrum Global. In a news release, he mentioned, “As we focus on building a business that delivers long term shareholder value, we believe this up-listing will enhance investor accessibility and serve as a stepping stone to meet the listing requirements for admission to the NASDAQ or NYSE in the future.”

As more and more of the world’s citizens rely on their smartphones, tablets, and devices every day, mobile data traffic has skyrocketed, creating a global demand for increased network capabilities. The telecom industry expects to grow exponentially in coming years to meet this demand for better coverage, enhanced capability, private networks and swift development of new apps.

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Advances Irgon Lithium Mine Project Toward Mining Production

QMC Quantum Minerals (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) is currently anticipating the completion of an updated NI 43–101 resource report on its Irgon Lithium Mine Project, in which the company holds a 100 percent undivided interest. An article discussing the company reads, “QMC’s efforts to supply a domestic source of lithium have focused on previously explored but underdeveloped hard rock mineral sites in southern Canada. Historically, North America’s hard rock miners dominated the lithium industry until the 1980s by extracting the white metal from the mineral spodumene, which, as a lithium aluminum inosilicate, is a source of lithium and is often found in large quantities. South American nations hosting the famed ‘Lithium Triangle’ gained market dominance with their more economical lithium brine evaporation ponds as the price of the white metal fell, but companies such as QMC assert that the hard rock mining process is ultimately more reliable and faster to bring into production once the initial exploratory work has been completed. . . . QMC has invested over two years into its vision for its Manitoba property, known as the Irgon Lithium Mine Project, stating that, typically, hard rock projects take three to five years to commence production. The company is anticipating the completion of an updated NI 43–101 resource report on the Irgon Project, in which it holds a 100 percent undivided interest.”

Earth Science Tech Inc. (ETST) to Introduce Super Supplement to Boost Brain Power

ETST partners with Iq2 to develop food supplement designed to improve brain function
Clinched deal with Forzagen to distribute cannabinoid product line in Mexico and South America
Developing CBD beverage to tap $12 billion market

Earth Science Tech Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) has done it again. In partnership with Iq2 Labs, the Florida-based biotechnology company is formulating a super food supplement designed to enhance brain function through an initiative that continues the ongoing drive to strengthen its position in the hemp-derived cannabinoid, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and medical device markets (http://ibn.fm/802tg). The product, containing high-grade full-spectrum cannabinoids, is currently going through the package design process, after which it will be bottled, launched and plugged into ETST’s growing sales channels. The announcement by ETST comes on the heels of another: ETST has clinched a deal with premium dietary supplement provider Forzagen to distribute ETST’s line of cannabinoids throughout Mexico and South America (http://ibn.fm/HZAKY).

The partnership with Iq2 Labs and the introduction of the brain-boosting supplement – CBD Mental Clarity and Focus Shot – give ETST a foothold in the emerging CBD beverage market, according to Nickolas S. Tabraue, chairman of ETST. The high-grade full-spectrum cannabinoids produced in conjunction with Iq2 are expected to be an accretive addition to ETST’s line of products aiming to augment mental capacity and function. The company’s researchers continue their efforts to develop a CBD beverage utilizing the University of Central Oklahoma’s provisional patent to improve immune system functions (http://ibn.fm/KiZ40). An aspect of ETST’s marketing strategy focuses on increasing the ways it can deliver its CBD products to the marketplace. The collaboration with the University of Central Oklahoma, under the direction of Dr. Michel Aube, chief science officer of ETST, forms part of this plan.

Under a sponsored research agreement with the University of Central Oklahoma, tests were carried out to determine the effects of ETST’s CBD Cannabidiol Rich Hemp Oil on immune cells. The results were encouraging (http://ibn.fm/MwRi8). Research showed that ETST’s hemp oil solution, used in appropriate CBD concentrations, could, through the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFα), stimulate macrophages, an important immune cell. The cytokine TNFα is a key cell signaler in the recruitment of immune cells. A robust immune system plays an important part in maintaining good health and may help fight cancer. There is now hope that the effects of hemp oil enriched with CBD on immune cells may be used to improve cancer treatment, particularly in combination with other treatment modalities. The proposed beverage will allow ETST to tap into the $11.7 billion (2018 estimate) CBD beverage market, which is projected to hit $25 billion by 2025.

With the establishment of these partnerships in 2019, ETST sustains the relentless path of growth put into place in 2018, when it doubled sales. ETST also uplisted to the OTCQB Venture Market and introduced a new product, Hygee, a non-invasive discreet chlamydia testing kit. The company continues to disrupt the hemp-derived cannabinoid, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and medical device markets. Its activities range from R&D to production to marketing and distribution. ETST plans to keep building the networks and infrastructure to launch new subsidiaries and new products, like its super supplement to boost brainpower.

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTC: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) Rises to Top of Blossoming Cannabis Industry

The Supreme Cannabis Company’s business model allows it to control every stage of the process, from cultivation to distribution
Its subsidiary, 7ACRES, operates a 440,000 square foot facility in Ontario, Canada – the largest facility of its kind to commercially cultivate cannabis
The company recorded 71 percent revenue growth from Q3 to Q4 in its fiscal year ended June 30, 2018

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTC: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1), a key player in the medical and commercial cannabis industries, intends to become the largest commercial cannabis retailer worldwide through its focus on innovation and emphasis on product quality.

The Supreme Cannabis Company is seasoned in the cultivation of medical cannabis, though it grew out of humble origins after Peter Herburger began cultivating medical cannabis when his daughter, Sarah, became afflicted with chronic pain. Its subsidiary, 7ACRES, was federally licensed for production on March 11, 2016. After Canada legalized the production and sale of commercial cannabis, the company saw its opportunity to broaden its industry reach. It is currently the only licensed producer focused on cultivating craft quality cannabis on a commercial scale, and it has emerged as the industry leader in mass cultivation as a result of its high quality product.

With a passion for quality, the company seeks to excel at every stage of the cannabis industry. 7ACRES operates a 440,000 square foot facility in Ontario, Canada. It is currently the largest facility of its kind to cultivate cannabis with advanced HVAC and CO2 enrichment using the full-spectrum sun. Direct sunlight produces indoor-quality buds with sun-grown characteristics. This is in direct contrast to most “hybrid” growers, who typically used limited-spectrum lamps, and it is indicative of the company’s zest for quality in all stages of the business model, from production to distribution. The Supreme Cannabis Company continues to invest in research and innovation in order to maintain its peak position in the burgeoning cannabis industry.

The company is Canada’s only coast-to-coast premium cannabis producer, and it saw exponential revenue growth in 2018. After uplisting its shares to the OTCQX market in the U.S., the company reported record revenues of C$3.55 million, marking a 71 percent increase from Q3 to Q4. After reporting its revenues for its fiscal year ended June 30, The Supreme Cannabis Company earned its spot amongst the publicly traded Canadian cannabis companies with the highest revenue in their first four quarters of sales.

While varying degrees of cannabis legislation have trickled through the U.S. over the past year, the industry continues to grow worldwide. One recent development in California might mean even more growth for the industry (http://ibn.fm/DCSae). The state has “endorsed a rule allowing home marijuana deliveries statewide, even into communities that have banned commercial pot sales.” This development, along with others that are likely to follow, will continue to foster growth in the cannabis industry and create future footholds for businesses like The Supreme Cannabis Company to strengthen their staying power.

Black Iron Inc. (TSX: BKI) (OTC: BKIRF) (GR: BIN) is “One to Watch”

Shymanivske Project is a world class, high-value, low net cost project offering an ultra-high-grade iron ore concentrate (68% Fe) at low capital cost intensity (<US$100 per ton of capacity).
Excellent infrastructure with paved road to site, confirmed power, rail and port capacity allows for a relatively low cost and phased build.
Large iron ore deposit with NI 43-101 Compliant Resource: 646 Mt (million tons) Measure and Indicated resource @ 31.6% iron; additional 188Mt Inferred resource @ 30.1% iron, which will be concentrated to ~68% iron.
Phased build starting at 4 Mt and growing to 8 Mtpa; using $62 per ton long term benchmark selling price results in pre-tax NPV of US$2.1 billion at 10% discount rate and 43% IRR (US$1.7 billion and 36% after-tax). Iron ore currently selling for well above this price at mid $70 per ton.
Strategic location with underdeveloped resources; close to target markets in Europe, Turkey, Middle East, Asia.
Skilled management team, directors and board with history of creating value for shareholders of iron ore projects.

Black Iron Inc. (TSX: BKI) (OTC: BKIRF) (GR: BIN) is a Canadian iron ore exploration and development company advancing to production its wholly owned Shymanivske Iron Ore Project, located in Krivyi Rih, Ukraine. Black Iron’s Shymanivske project is situated in the southern part of the historic KrivBass iron ore mining district, a highly developed iron ore mining region with well-established infrastructure and nearby skilled labor forces. Surrounded by seven producing iron ore mines, the Shymanivske project will produce an ultra-high-grade, 68-percent iron ore concentrate with few impurities at very low cost.

The Market

Iron ore concentrates are one of the essential raw materials used by the steel industry to either make sinter or highly valued pellets. Black Iron’s concentrate can be used in either application and is an ideal source to make pellets since it does not need to be ground finer and contains very few impurities. According to the CRU Group, an internationally recognized top global business intelligence provider and consultancy specializing in commodities, there is a growing global shortage of pellet feed resulting in a supply/demand gap of 133Mt against the current base of approximately 400Mt consumed by 2035. According to a recent report issued by Zion Market Research, the global iron ore pellets market was valued at around US$25.22 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach US$50.12 billion by 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1 percent between 2018 and 2024 (http://ibn.fm/jUEq4).

Countries around the world, most notably China (http://ibn.fm/thCIW), have instituted regulatory changes to curb polluting emissions from steel mills through numerous methods, including encouraging a shift to higher grade iron feed products such as pellets as less coal needs to be burnt per ton of steel produced.

Shymanivske Project

Black Iron’s Shymanivske’s project, which is expected to produce ultra-high-grade 68 percent iron content pellet feed iron concentrate, is generating significant interest from steel mills and global commodity trading houses. Use of ultra-high-grade 68-percent iron content product in the production of steel is a value-added product to customers since it increases blast furnace productivity and reduces greenhouse gas emissions generated per ton of steel produced.

The project’s proximity to rail lines (1 mile), electrical power (20 miles), sea ports (140 to 260 miles) and a skilled workforce (6 miles) significantly reduces the up-front construction costs and allows for the mine to be built in a phased approach. The Shymanivske project has been ranked by the CRU Group in the lowest position of the business cost curve for pellet feed projects currently under development and as the second lowest in capital intensity (construction capital divided by annual production) within CRU Group’s extensive database (http://ibn.fm/Drd1o). This low-cost position makes the project economics very robust to any shocks in iron ore price while providing a very high return at current and forecast prices.

Black Iron continues to advance its project on several fronts including construction funding and off-take agreements (http://ibn.fm/0AXpR). Discussions with Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense to transfer a parcel of land required by the company for location of its processing plant, waste rock and tailings are nearing finalization, as are discussions with the Kryviy Rih City Council to lease a portion of the surface rights currently under that body’s control. The recent engagement of Ivan Markovich as Black Iron’s Vice President of Government and Community Relations will assist the company in these endeavors given his extensive network of relationships with senior Ukraine government officials.

The Shymanivske project holds a mining allotment permit for a large iron ore deposit with a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimated to contain 646 Mt (million tons) Measured and Indicated mineral resources, consisting of 355 Mt Measured mineral resources grading 31.6% total iron and 18.8% magnetic iron, and Indicated mineral resources of 290 Mt grading 31.1% total iron and 17.9% magnetic iron, using a cut-off grade of 10% magnetic iron. Additionally, there are 188 Mt of Inferred mineral resources grading 30.1% total iron and 18.4% magnetic iron.

Full mineral resource details and project economics can be found in the NI 43-101 compliant technical report entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Re-scoped Shymanivske Iron Ore Deposit” effective November 21, 2017, under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Management

Black Iron’s management and board of directors is stacked with experts well-versed in successfully building and operating iron ore projects. CEO Matt Simpson, P.Eng. is the former general manager of Mining for Rio Tinto’s Iron Core Company of Canada and worked for Hatch designing global metallurgical refineries. He is also a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Chairman Bruce Humphrey is the former COO of GoldCorp and former chairman of Consolidated Thompson Iron Ore mines which was sold to Cliff’s resources for US$4.9 billion.

Les Kwasik, COO, has over 40 years of hands-on experience building and operating mines globally with companies such as INCO (VALE) and Xstrata (Glencore). Paul Bozoki, CFO, is the former CFO of CD Capital Partners, operating in the Ukraine. Bill Hart, senior vice president of corporate development, has over 30 years of experience selling iron ore while working for Rio Tinto, Cliffs Natural Resources and most recently Roy Hill Holdings Ltd. Ivan Markovich was recently engaged in the capacity of Black Iron’s vice president of Government and Community Relations to leverage his extensive network of relationships with senior Ukraine government officials.
