LITTLEON, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2016 / Star Mountain Resources, Inc. (OTC: SMRS) (“Star Mountain Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of its district-wide review and evaluation of the historic exploration drilling program that targeted zinc mineralization in the Balmat-Edwards Mining District, St. Lawrence County, New York. Our review identified significant potential zinc mineralization in the Upper Marble unit (the host unit for zinc mineralization for all the mines in the Balmat-Edwards District) at a location approximately one mile southwest of the historic Hyatt Mine and four miles northeast of the Balmat #4 Mine (the “Sully discovery”).

The Sully discovery lies within the 80,582 acres of mineral rights we control in St. Lawrence County, New York. Twelve drill holes were completed on the Sully target in 2007and 2008 of which seven intersected massive sulfide zinc mineralization in Upper Marble unit rocks (see Table 1 below). The drilling shows significant thicknesses of zinc mineralization that can be correlated over approximately 1,500 feet along strike and up to 500 feet across strike.

The mineralization remains open in every direction and a follow up drilling program is planned to confirm the discovery and to determine the extent and limits of the mineralization.

Star Mountain Resources President Mark Osterberg commented, “The Balmat-Edwards District has been in near continuous production for 100 years and the exploration history documents a record of new mine discovery every 17 years on average. We expect to continue our review and evaluation of historic exploration drilling and to advance exploration efforts on the Sully discovery in the Balmat-Edwards District and we are confident that we can add to the record of discovery.”

About Us

Star Mountain Resources, Inc. is a junior exploration and mining company focused on acquiring and consolidating mining claims, mineral leases, producing mines, and historic mines with production and future growth potential. Our operations are currently focused on base metal and precious metal mining acquisitions in North America, and re-commencing mining activities at the Balmat Zinc mine in upstate New York.

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2016 / Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQB:LXRP) (CSE:LXX) (“the Company” or “Lexaria”) has entered a new letter of intent (LOI) to license its proprietary absorption and palatability enhancing technology for cannabinoids and other bioactive substances. This is the third LOI that Lexaria has reached with potential licensees so far this year, with one of those three so far having advanced to a working definitive agreement.

The potential licensee is one of America’s most respected and well-known brands in the cannabis infused products market, active in California and other U.S. states. The identity of the potential licensee will remain undisclosed pending further developments.

Under the terms of the LOI, the parties have agreed to perform due diligence evaluations prior to the possibility of entering a definitive agreement including development and testing of sample formulations with Lexaria’s enhancements compared to existing branded products. The parties will establish financial and territory terms upon finalization of the definitive agreement, pending the outcome of this formulation development and testing to demonstrate improved product performance to mutual satisfaction.

“We are extremely pleased to have reached this LOI with a recognized leader in the medical and adult use premium marijuana edibles sector,” said John Docherty, President of Lexaria Bioscience Corp. “Lexaria looks forward to conducting the formulation development and testing exercise,
similar to those we performed for our first licensee earlier this year prior to definitive agreement signing, and we’re confident that our technology can offer enhanced product performance on multiple levels.”

The LOI is expected to advance into a definitive agreement within 90 days though there is no assurance of this. Additional information will be released regarding the completion of the definitive agreement, and progress with the formulation development and testing, as details are available. Readers are cautioned that a definitive agreement has not yet been reached and, even if reached, much of the financial compensation for Lexaria thereunder shall be dependent upon the success of the Licensee in selling products enhanced with Lexaria’s technology.

Forward Looking Statements

The statements made in this press release include forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect management’s current expectations and assumptions. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, such as the economy, generally, competition in Pioneering’s target markets, the demand for Pioneering’s products, the availability of funding and the efficacy of Pioneering’s technology and governmental regulation. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof an, except as required by applicable law, Pioneering does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances. Actual events or results could differ materially from Pioneering’s expectations and projections.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure not recognized under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management of Pioneering believes that most shareholders, creditors, other stakeholders and investment analysts prefer to have these measures included as reported measures of operating performance, a proxy for cash flow, and to facilitate valuation analysis. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, restructuring costs, impairment charges and other non-recurring gains or losses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons.

Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standard meanings prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP and should not, on its own, be construed as indicators of performance, cash flow or profitability. References to the Pioneering’s Adjusted EBITDA should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of Pioneering posted on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

This news release contains certain forward-looking statements reflecting the Company’s current views or expectations on its performance, business and future events. Such statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results and events may vary significantly.
