Acquisition of Kennetcook Property

The Company is also pleased to announce that, pursuant to a Claims Acquisition Agreement dated March 16, 2018 (the "Agreement"), it has acquired a 100% interest in certain mining licences in Nova Scotia (the "Kennetcook Property") from arm's length and non-arm's length vendors.
