WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 20, 2015 / FastFunds Financial Corporation (OTCPK: FFFC) (the “Company” or “FastFunds”) announced today that it has signed an operating agreement with Sanidor Systems, LLC, to create Pure Grow Systems, LLC.

Pure Grow Systems, LLC is dedicated to the healthy production and processing of raw materials used for medicinal or other health-related purposes. One of the products in the Pure Grow Systems’ line provides new technology to potentially clean, sanitize, and disinfect the processing environments of plants and herbs used in the formulation of alternative, botanical, and herbal therapies.

“We are developing a line of environmentally friendly products using ingredients that have a strong track record of sanitization and disinfection in buildings, on furniture, and other items found in medical, manufacturing, or warehousing environments,” said Marybeth Hanson, a member of Sanidor Systems LLC.

Since environmental toxins like molds, mildews, and harmful bacteria, such as salmonella and e-Coli, can find their way into raw botanical matter, it is important to keep these environments as free from bacteria, mold, and mildew as possible. We believe our products can enhance the purity and safety of botanical- and herbal-raw materials.

“Our management team has a long history in the development of herbal and medicinal products. We understand the need for ‘cleaner’ and safer ingredients, which then can be used in the formulation of nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, and skincare.”

Pure Grow Systems, LLC, is poised to launch its website along with its first product line within the next 60 days.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 20, 2015 / Electra Stone Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: ELT) (A14NCM.F) (the “Company” or “Electra”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with D.Javorsky Prospecting Inc. (“Javorsky”) where Electra can acquire a 100% interest, subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) acceptance, in the Polar Jade Placer (Alluvial) Property (the “Property”), Located in the Liard Mining Division, British Columbia. The property consists of 12 placer claims and is 1490 Hectares in size.

The Polar Placer Jade Project is situated approximately 40 km east of the Town of Dease Lake, British Columbia, along the Boulder Creek Mining trail and approximately 1 km north of the Polar Jade(TM) Mine, one of Canada’s premier Jade mining operations. “The famous gem-grade discovery at the Polar Mine secured Canadian Jade’s fame as a world class gemstone producer.” (Industrial Minerals with emphasis on Western North America, 2004)

Geology

The region is underlain by upper Mississippian to Permian ultramafic rocks of the Cache Creek Complex. These rocks consist of peridotite, dunite and pyroxenite which are generally serpentinized. The rocks locally include pods of nephrite jade. (BC Government Minfile 104I 083)

Jade Market

Sales price and volume of B.C. Nephrite Jade has reportedly increased significantly over the past several years according to private producers. Increased interest in Nephrite Jade in South-East Asian countries, specifically China is the primary reason for the rise in demand.

John Costigan President of ELT stated that “The Polar Jade acquisition continues to enhance our Jade strategy by acquiring gem-quality opportunities within the jade space. In addition, we believe that the substantial deposits and the toughness and beauty of even non-gem grade BC Nephrite Jade is ideally suited as a new entry into the dimensional stone business.”
