Thorn Cu-Au-Ag Project – Golden Triangle, BC

During the winter months of 2019-2020 Brixton acquired ASTER and SENTINEL-2 satellite data and processed it for alteration minerals over the entire Thorn Project. A further 150 historic assessment reports were compiled for geochemical data resulting in an additional 10,524 soils, 486 silts and 3240 rocks assays.

The Company completed 12km of IP and downhole IP in holes 150 and 162 over the Camp Creek Target, and combined with the 2019 survey, mapped a large 3km by 2km opened ended chargeability high anomaly that is open to depth. An airborne radiometric and magnetic survey was flown at the Metla and West Targets which revealed large potassic-altered zones that are associated with the new copper-gold anomalies. The Company conducted 596 square kilometers of LIDAR surveys.

During 2020 Brixton carried out property wide surficial geochemical surveys including the collection of 5,588 soil samples and 1,473 rock samples.

• 81 rock samples returned greater than 1 g/t Au and 5 samples were greater than 31 g/t Au
• 68 rock samples returned greater than 1% Cu and 4 were greater than 5% Cu
• 38 rock samples returned greater than 100 g/t Ag and 6 were greater than 1000 g/t Ag
• 1057 soils were above 30 ppb Au, 263 were above 100 ppb Au and 45 were above 500 ppb Au
• 2298 soils were above 100 ppm Cu, 148 were above 500 ppm and 40 were above 1000 ppm Cu

Property scale exploration resulted in highlighting a 75-80km mineral trend, increasing the number of large-scale Cu-Au targets from 3 previously to 9 currently: Camp Creek, Outlaw, Trapper, Metla, East, South, North, West and Gold Bee targets.

The target with the greatest number of high-grade gold samples was the Trapper Target which had 10 of the top 20 gold-in-rock samples and ranged from 6.0 g/t Au to 47.0 g/t Au. The highest gold value from the 1473 rocks samples was collected from the Outlaw West Target, which returned 68.8 g/t Au.

The highest copper-in-rock sample was 7.2% Cu sourced from the Camp Creek area which also had 5 samples in the top 20 high-grade copper samples ranging from 4.5% to 7.2% Cu. Three targets, namely Camp Creek, Metla and East Target, had 5 samples in the Top 20 high-grade copper samples.

The Camp Creek Target returned the most high-grade silver hits, returning 14 of the Top 20 high-grade silver samples ranging from 135.0 g/t Ag to 1890 g/t Ag. The highest silver-in-rock grade was 2890 g/t Ag, which came from the Outlaw Target.

Thorn 2020 Drilling Highlights

Diamond drilling totaled 5,291m consisting of 16 holes over 2,788m at the Outlaw West and Central Zones. The Central Outlaw Au-Ag stratiform type mineralization was extended to 600m along strike. Drilling at the Camp Creek target consisted of 2,503m over 3 holes that intersected zones of shallow high-sulphidation type mineralization and deep porphyry-style mineralization starting around 300-400m depth. The deepest hole was THN20-181 which drilled to 959.2m and ended in mineralization.

• THN20-181 intercepted Camp Creek porphyry mineralization; drills
  439m 0.34% CuEq, including, 278m of 0.43% CuEq, including 105m of 0.60% CuEq with the bottom of the hole 6.2m of 2.27% CuEq
  

Using the following metal prices (average daily prices during last 12 months) of Cu $/lb = 2.7, Au $/oz = 1759, Ag $/oz = 19.6, Mo $/lb = 11.2.

Gold-silver mineralization at the Outlaw Target is associated with disseminated to semi-massive pyrrhotite and pyrite hosted in Trassic clastic sediments with weak to moderate alteration. Mineralization appears to be causative with Jurassic felsic dykes.

• THN20-172 returned 12.4m of 1.4 g/t AuEq incl. 5m of 3.1 g/t AuEq at the Central Outlaw Zone
• THN20-177 cut 44m of 0.6 g/t AuEq, incl. 22m of 0.7 g/t AuEq incl.8m of 0.8 g/t AuEq at the Central Outlaw Zone
• THN20-169 returned one meter of 8.7 g/t Au, 33.2 g/t Ag or 9.2 g/t AuEq at West Outlaw Zone
• THN20-165 returned 5.5m of 3.1 g/t AuEq from the Outlaw West Zone

Hog Heaven Ag-Cu-Au Project – Montana, USA

On October 27, 2020 Brixton announced that it entered into a binding Heads of Agreement, with respect to a USD$44.5 million earn-in and joint venture on its wholly owned Hog Heaven Project with High Power Exploration Inc. (“HPX”). HPX is a privately-owned mineral exploration and development company led by Chairman and CEO Robert Friedland. The Earn-in Agreement provides HPX with an Option to earn up to 75% interest in the project over 11 years.

            • HPX may earn 51% with a USD$15M exploration spend and USD$4.5M cash payments to Brixton
            • HPX may earn additional 24% (75% in total) with an additional USD$25M exploration spend

During May-June 2020, the Company completed its maiden drilling program on the project. The purpose of validation drilling was to improve our understanding of the mineralized system as the project appears to have the affinity for strata-form copper-silver, high sulphidation mineralization and a porphyry copper-gold type system. The drill program was successful in validating previous drilling at the Main Mine area and encountered both broad mineralized intervals including narrow high-grade silver-gold-copper mineralization.

Hog Heaven Highlights from the 2020 Drilling:

A total of seven holes representing 1,400.35m were drilled of HQ sized core and high-grade mineralization was encountered in all of the holes drilled.

ESCONDIDO, Calif., Jan. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marijuana Company of America Inc. (“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: MCOA), an emerging company and leader offering unique exposure to the global cannabis sector, today announces that it has named Board Member Marco Guerrero as vice president of the company’s hempSMART™ Brazil and hempSMART™ Uruguay subsidiaries.

“We are excited to have Marco take on this role and propel us to a higher level of international production and distribution opportunities,” stated Jesus M. Quintero, CEO of MCOA. “Marco is an excellent board member, and we have full confidence in his ability to help drive MCOA’s global expansion. His expertise in Latin America in particular strengthens our ability to distribute our Premium CBD and hemp-derived hempSMART™ product line for the first time in Brazil, a country with a population of over 212 million consumers and there are 652 million consumers throughout Latin America.”

Marco Guerrero holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a post graduate degree in controllership from Instituto Presbiteriano Mackenzie, Brazil. He studied in the UK and worked for several years in the USA with Chubb, QBE and Marsh & McLennan before becoming co-founder of Truster Brazil, a highly reputable reinsurance company specializing in Latin America and the Caribbean.

“Marco is a trusted advisor who can ensure our success as we navigate our way through Latin America,” Quintero added. “His extensive professional experience is rooted in the reinsurance industry, medical and business communities in both Uruguay and Brazil. This will serve us well as we have initiated our efforts in communicating directly with medical professionals about bringing our products to Latin America.”

Uruguay has a population of over 3.6 million consumers and was the first country in the world to legalize recreational and medical cannabis. Although CBD is legal in Brazil and Uruguay, access to quality products in these markets remains challenging for consumers due to low quality and/or prescription requirements. The HEMPsmart™ Brazil and HEMPsmart™ Uruguay subsidiaries will include manufacturing and distribution to alleviate these challenges.

MCOA is also applying for status in a “Free Trade Zone” which allows the entity exemption from local, sales and exportation tax. MCOA stands to benefit from a more cost-effective structure for the products manufactured and sold to MCOA from the newly formed subsidiary. This will help to enhance the profitability of the U.S. parent company and reduce the tax burden of the overall consolidated group.

“I am honored to help lead and contribute to the Company’s overall business development and international growth strategy,” said Guerrero. “Jesus and the rest of the management team have built a culture with people and products that are truly special. This team is laser-focused on thoughtful execution and building sales while maintaining a genuine interest in meeting the needs of consumers seeking affordable quality CBD products.”

ATLANTA, Jan. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Monarch Private Capital, a nationally recognized tax-advantaged investment firm that develops, finances, and manages a diversified portfolio of projects that generate both federal and state tax credits, is pleased to announce the launch of its new Tax Credit Equity + ESG website.

Many investors are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into their investment process. However, most are not aware that they can redirect their tax dollars to help them achieve their ESG goals. Monarch recognized this lack of knowledge and launched a new website to help educate investors on the means to invest in validated ESG funds comprised of projects that generate federal and state tax credits.

Along with a brief dive into ESG investing, Monarch’s new streamlined and easy-to-navigate website supplies background on each of its tax credit programs and the many benefits, including affordable housing, historic rehabilitation and renewable energy. Investors can learn about Monarch’s unique approach to tax equity and ESG investing and how it tailors its ESG solutions to the needs of each type of investor, including corporations, banks, insurance companies, family offices and more.

Also included on the new website, taxpayers can browse through Monarch’s portfolio of featured projects to learn of the positive impacts they have on their communities. From the number of jobs created by a historic building brought back to life to the CO2 emissions removed from the environment through a solar farm generating clean power, investors can easily find the many benefits of the firm’s ESG investments. Not only can taxpayers access the positive impact metrics of Monarch’s individual projects, but they can also use the firm’s new ESG impact calculator to quantify the impact of any affordable housing, historic rehabilitation or renewable energy investment under consideration. With just one simple input of the investment dollar amount, one can quickly determine their own metrics, such as the number of affordable housing units developed or the number of homes powered by a solar installation’s megawatts of renewable energy.

“Since the start, Monarch has been pairing tax equity investing with ESG to help our investors achieve their sustainability goals while mitigating their state and federal tax liabilities,” said George Strobel, Co-Founder & Managing Director of Tax Credit Investments at Monarch Private Capital. “Our new website will help you determine which of our ESG funds is the right fit for you and how we can help you positively impact communities through your investment while achieving predictable returns.”

Monarch’s mission is to positively impact communities, and its tax-advantaged investments have always been aligned with ESG principles. The firm’s new website illustrates the many benefits its projects bring to their communities while also quantifying the impact of its investments in affordable housing, historic rehabilitation and renewable energy. With its new website, the firm makes it even easier to determine both what a taxpayer’s sustainability goals are and the best practices in achieving them. Monarch’s ESG funds enable companies to successfully carry out their ESG initiatives, giving their money a mission.

For more information on Monarch’s ESG funds and sustainability initiatives, please contact George Strobel by emailing [email protected].
