Company posts initial forecast for its new GenAccord!, moves two new products GenUltimate! precis TBG and GenCambre! into advanced development, readies patents for GenUltimate TBG & GenExpidient!

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / Decision Diagnostics Corp. (OTC PINK:DECN) is an 18-year old, diabetes-focused bio-technology development firm, manufacturer, quality plan administrator, FDA registered medical device support organization, and exclusive worldwide sales and regulatory process agent for the GenUltimate! ("Sunshine") diabetes test strip, its GenAccord! systems for the uninsured and under-insured, its GenChoice! ("Ladybug") test strip now in the later stages of FDA 510(k) prosecution, its mate! GenUltimate Precis products manufactured for Eastern European International markets. The company also markets its PetSure! test strip for the diabetic testing of dogs and cats, a diagnostic specifically designed to run on the market leading Zoetis Alpha Trak meter system as well as the GenUltimate! 4Pets Test strip and Avantage! meter. Finally the company has certified as market ready its GenUltimate! TBG ("Dragonfly") diabetes testing system, and announces the completion of its Universal Translator device GenExpidient!, a device that serves as a universal translation device and dramatically speeds development of alternative test strips that will run on legacy systems.

The company also announced that with the completion of development of the GenExpiedient! Universal Translator, two products in development have been moved to Advanced Development (approx. 120 days to commercial viability), GenCambre! and the TBG version of GenUltimate! Precis TBG. Precis TBG will sell through our Russian Federation partner.

Keith Berman, CEO of Decision Diagnostics stated "Despite our limited resources, or perhaps because we have fewer resources, we have been able to channel our activities into products that can be introduced to the market quickly. In 2020 we will have introduced GenUltimate! TBG, GenAccord!, GenCambre! and now GenExpidient! "

Mr. Berman continued, "We have great hopes for GenExpidient! This device that will allow similar commercial systems with different glucometers and/or meters of different vintage to work with the same test strip of our development. This has brought another 6 legacy products into the realm of our brand. GenExpidient! is eminently patentable, and along with our GenUltimate TBG are the subject of three patent applications now underway."

Mr. Berman concluded, "We have posted our "cocktail napkin" forecast for our GenAccord! product line. We were a little late with this forecast, primarily because we have been granted additional territories and had to amend the forecast. The forecast will again be revised to take into account our new retail partner who has agreed to carry the GenAccord! line in over 2000 retail stores. One thing that can be said about this partner is that their clientel are fanatical about the brand name products sold at the 2000+ retail stores. Back to the forecast that is posted: for the most part, the forecast breaks down and displays by country. This forecast can be viewed at: http://decisiondiagnostics.co/docs/new/Exhibit%20D.pdf

A password to the file will be required. Shareholders and interested parties who wish to view the forecast can call the company and after being asked to answer a few questions, will be provided the password. The password is not "password."

NIAGARA FALLS, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies Corp. (TSXV:EHT) ("EHT") is pleased to announce it has signed a joint venture (the "JV") with Ghanaian company Antebe Abebrese Company Limited ("AAC") to build 15,000 ENERTEC homes across 10 regions of Ghana over the next 6 years. EHT will supply its ENERTEC system of material and solar expertise with ACC supplying the design, engineering and construction of the houses. EHT will own 65% of the JV with ACC owning 35%.

The JV has completed the site plan for the first site of 500 homes in the Kumasi region of Ghana. The site has already been approved by the Government of Ghana so civil work will be able to start in the next 90 days. For the first site, the JV plans to include 2-&3-bedroom ENERTEC housing units. A 2-bedroom unit will sell for US$37,300 and a 3-bedroom for US$44,200. The JV currently estimates a net margin of 10% (approx. US$3,730 & US$4,420 per each 2-&3-bedroom unit, respectively) and will provide future updates as the project progresses.

The project is part of the Government of Ghana's Building of Social Green Housing initiative that is at the forefront of the Government's Housing program, which oversees these priority governmental infrastructure projects.

Anthony Abebrese, CEO of AAC, remarked that "This JV agreement for Antebe Abebrese Company represents a perfect storm, addressing the Ghana government's housing deficit with affordable prefabricated modular homes and taking advantage of Africa being one of the sunniest continents in the world, with 85 percent of African land receiving more than 2,000 kilowatt-hours of solar energy per square meter per year. This ensures Ghanaians through this JV will have access to renewable energy, which ticks a few key boxes for us, including ecological and sustainability. Mr. Abebrese went on to say, "The entire world is becoming aware that solar is a key answer to the world's energy needs and society is now leaning towards it with huge expectations; Ghanaian citizens have a right to have roofs over their heads and access to electricity. We chose EHT for their superior products over other material suppliers."

John Gamble, CEO of EHT, commented that "We have been in discussions over the last months and met with AAC on our last visit to Ghana and are very pleased that AAC has chosen EHT as their partner in this project and this, along with our other ongoing Ghanaian projects, clearly shows that our materials and our Ghana initiative is paying off."

About EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies

EHT delivers proprietary, turn-key energy solutions which are intelligent, bankable and sustainable.  EHT's expertise includes the development of its ENERTEC module structures with full integration of smart energy solutions. Using a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger than traditional wood or steel structural insulated panels, EHT provides exceptional thermal energy efficiency in modular homes, cold storage facilities, residential/commercial out buildings and emergency/temporary shelters. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. In addition to traditional support to established electrical networks, ENERTEC buildings excel where no electrical grid exists.

About ENERTEC

The EHT advanced ENERTEC Modular Wall and Roof System uses a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger and more energy efficient than traditional wood or steel structures providing the highest ratings for energy efficiency. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. After installation, each structure can be furnished and finished to meet the customer's requirements including siding, tile, kitchens and bathrooms or segregated commercial rooms. The finished wall product can be shipped on pallets and delivered via rail, truck or water in standard formats.

At the core of the ENERTEC product line is the ENERTEC Embedded Solar Roof Module. Solar cells can be embedded in a proprietary fireproof skin resulting in substantial cost savings by eliminating heavy glass panels and aluminum racking required for traditional solar panels. Two barriers to greater adoption of solar energy are weight limitations of the roof on which solar panels could be deployed and onerous shipping and labour costs. A lighter product at a better price point will open a larger market for solar due to the faster return of capital investment especially for rural and remote users looking to go off-grid. Furthermore, the entire EHT embedded solar roof becomes a massive solar panel capable of producing significantly more energy than the home requires, allowing the structure to then become an important source of power for the local micro grid or large battery storage systems.

About Antebe Abebrese Company Limited

Antebe Abebrese Company (AAC) is not your ordinary construction company.

AAC is a multi-national organization engaged, among many other things, in the construction business.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 – Ximen Mining Corp. (TSXV:XIM)(FRA:1XMA)(OTCQB:XXMMF) (the "Company" or "Ximen") announces that that it has entered into a Property Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated February 14, 2020 with Klondike Gold Corp. ("Klondike Gold") for the acquisition of 100% of all of Klondike's British Columbia properties totalling 98 mineral claims covering 4,171 hectares and one Crown Granted mineral claim of 8.7 hectares located in the southeastern part of the province. The agreement covers four properties, namely Ron Gold (Nelson), Clubine, Hughes, and Quartz Mountain.

The Ron Gold (Nelson) property adjoins Ximen's Kenville Gold Mine near Nelson, BC and consists of 29 mineral claims and one crown grant covering 1,176 hectares. Historically explored for structurally controlled gold-bearing vein mineralization related to the Silver King shear zone, the property also has potential gold-bearing porphyry-related mineralization. Several historic mineral occurrences occur within the property. A gold and copper soil anomaly was defined in 2017, with gold values ranging up to 1634.8 ppb (1.6 g/t Au) and averaging 49.8 ppb Au, and copper values ranging up to 1614.3 ppm Cu and averaging 189.8 ppm Cu (BC Assessment report 37345).

The Clubine property comprises 5 claims covering an area of 232 hectares, located just north of Salmo, BC. and situated about 25 kilometers south of the Kenville Mine. Mineralization on the property includes the historic Clubine-Comstock mine and the Maggie zone. The Clubine-Comstock historic mine production totaled 3,964 ounces gold, 7,699 ounces silver and 818 kilograms zinc from quartz and quartz-carbonate veins containing pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and minor sphalerite and pyrrhotite (BC Minfile). The Maggie zone high has high silver but low gold contents and consists of quartz and quartz-carbonate veins mineralized with galena, sphalerite and minor pyrite. In 2009, Klondike Gold drilled nine holes to test the Clubine vein system down dip to the east of the historic mine and intersected a mineralized zone with gold grades ranging up to 38.19 g/T Au across 0.95 meters (CB09-1).

The Hughes Range property is located approximately 20 km northeast of the town of Cranbrook, BC and consists of 6 claims covering 411 hectares and including one mining lease covering the past-producing Kootenay King mine. Work prior to 2012 was focused on a massive sulphide target like the Sullivan deposit, related to the Kootenay King stratiform lead-zinc deposit. Placer gold has been recovered in the area as well, and there are several gold occurrences on the property. In 2012, a widespread zone of disseminated copper sulphide mineralization was discovered within a southwest trending structural corridor that is marked by Cretaceous intrusive rocks and base and precious metal vein mineralization.

The Quartz Mountain Property, also known as Anderson, Price's Pit or Golden Egg, is located 20 km northwest of Cranbrook and just southeast of Kimberley. It consists of 58 claims covering 2,361 hectares. Two past producers, Price's Pit and Golden Egg, which in total produced 1,767 ounces of gold are present on the property. Mineralization consists of chalcedonic quartz veins that occur in argillaceous quartzites of the mid-Proterozoic Creston Formation of the Purcell Supergroup. The veins contain specular hematite, pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and native gold. Klondike Gold's 2004 drilling intersected 0.49 meters grading 16.5 g/tonne gold.

The terms for the Agreement are as follows:

Payment of $100,000 in cash,
Payment of 1,000,000 Ximen shares and 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Ximen at $0.45 per share for a period of 24 months from date of issuance.

Completion of the property purchase is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
