Black Iron Progresses Construction Financing and Receives Strong Support From Ukraine’s Prime Minister

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2019 / Black Iron Inc. ("Black Iron" or the "Company") (TSX:BKI) reports that senior management met late last week with Ukraine's newly elected Prime Minister and Minister of Economy to discuss the importance of Black Iron's project to Ukraine given the high level of interest from foreign investors to fund construction, large number of new highly skilled jobs that will be created and the substantial investment planned. Both Ministers came to the meeting well briefed on Black Iron, were very pragmatic and stated their strong support plus alignment with other key ministries, including the Ministry of Defence, to implement Black Iron's project. A single point of contact was assigned by the Prime Minister to coordinate Black Iron's Ukraine government support needs including land transfer with all other agencies. This meeting follows recent public statements made by Ukraine's newly elected President Zelensky who strongly supports Black Iron's project being constructed.

Black Iron's management team met with Ukraine's new Minister of Defence on Friday, September 27, 2019 to firm up support to expedite the transfer of essential land for project construction. The Minister stated he agrees to transfer the needed land by Black Iron in exchange for fair and transparent compensation that will primarily be used to purchase apartments direly needed for military personnel. He agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding formalizing this commitment prior to end of October 2019 that will be followed by binding contracts at year end.

Last week, Black Iron's CEO also met with the owner of a Middle East steel mill that expressed a serious interest to make a substantial equity investment into the construction of Black Iron's project in exchange for offtake potentially alongside Glencore. This company is planning to construct a direct reduction pellet plant that would benefit from the very short, low cost shipping distance from Ukraine. There are very few global suppliers of direct reduction iron ore given the need to produce a product containing 70% iron with ultra low contaminants which Black Iron expects to produce from its project. Globally respected commodities analysis firm CRU forecasts there will be a 40 million tonne per year shortfall in supply versus needed demand of direction reduction pellet feed over the next fifteen years.

Productive site visits were completed last week with two multibillion Asian construction firms as part of their due diligence to consider investing ~US$50 million of equity in kind during project construction. Equity in kind means the construction company will receive shares of Black Iron on a monthly basis over the planned twenty-four-month construction period as partial payment for equipment and services invoiced instead of the full payment being made in cash. This is beneficial to Black Iron shareholders as these shares will only be issued once the balance of construction funding is secured, announced and construction has commenced at which time Black Iron management expects the Company's share price to be materially higher. Black Iron continues to receive expressions of interest to provide debt for project construction and a more detailed announcement outlining the Company's plan to fund project construction with potentially little to no equity from the public markets will soon be provided to investors based on ongoing discussions to date.

Cielo Provides Operational Update

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2019 / Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (CSE:CMC) ("Cielo" or the "Company") would like to provide an update on its progress on the commissioning of its first waste-to-fuel refinery in Aldersyde, Alberta ("Refinery"), located approximately 25 kilometers south of Calgary Alberta.

Since Cielo's Grand Opening in July, the Company has been refining and honing the process and technology in preparation for consistent production, including the installation of instrumentation and automation components to allow for accurate measurements of both feedstock input and renewable fuel output. The majority of these design enhancements have been installed and are currently being tested and commissioned. Cielo is currently waiting on the delivery of additional instrumentation equipment, scheduled to be delivered this week. During this time, the Refinery has been operating on an intermittent basis, allowing for shutdowns where required. Once installed, Cielo will recommence continuously producing distillate from wood waste, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week ("24/7") until approximately 120,000 litres of distillate have been produced, which is approximately the amount required in order to pump the distillate from its storage tank to the naphtha and diesel towers. Thereafter, it is expected the Refinery will run on a continuous flow basis. Cielo has hired four new refinery operators to its staff, who will be overseeing operations 24/7.

The new heater system that Cielo implemented to efficiently maintain the temperature in the Refinery's reactor tower, disclosed in recent months, is now working 100% and is proving to keep up with the Company's waste-to-fuel process. The waste recovery system is also now operating and proving to recover significantly more of the catalyst and hydrocarbons, which Cielo believes will increase production and reduce operational costs. Adding the pre-heat and sterilization step to the use of the Used Motor Oil has increased the renewable content of the renewable fuels that the Company will be producing.

Cielo has also received confirmation from a third-party laboratory that the Company's work on desulfurization has been successful and that the renewable diesel can be effectively processed onsite into what will be a saleable product for the highway grade blended mandated market. Cielo is very focused on this final step in the process.

As a result of the changes in the frontend process that were implemented, Cielo requires approval of an amendment to Cielo's current permit from Alberta Environment & Parks ("AEP") before full scale commercial production commences, for which Cielo has applied and Cielo's management, who are in regular contact with AEP, expect to receive imminently.

In addition, Cielo has applied to AEP to undertake a small-scale trial to process problematic single use PET and clamshell plastics at commercial scale. The Company recently submitted its trial plan to AEP and expects to receive a response back shortly. "Cielo is pleased to have the opportunity to prove that we have a solution to the global clamshell and PET plastics problem," stated Don Allan, President and CEO of Cielo. "The clamshell containers and PET plastics are a serious problem for municipalities to dispose of and we are confident that we can use this waste as a viable feedstock in our waste-to-fuel process."

PET Plastics are commonly used in bottles and other plastic containers. This includes clam shell containers, bottles, bakery products, peanut butter jars and even in frozen foods packaging. These plastics are hard to recycle and have become a problem for municipalities around the world to dispose of ever since China, the largest buyer of these materials, stopped taking them.

Cielo has secured two shipping containers of PET and clamshell plastics, that were scheduled to be disposed of into a landfill, so that Cielo can process them at the Refinery pending receipt of approval from AEP. Cielo will then have the resulting diesel analyzed at a third-party lab. Cielo has extensive experience while operating its demonstration plant with these types of plastics and foresees no issues, and will provide an update upon completion of the analysis.

Cielo and the companies that have entered into memorandums of understanding to build joint venture refineries with Cielo in Grande Prairie, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Brooks and Lethbridge Alberta have agreed to extend the date by which the definitive joint venture agreements must be executed to December 31, 2019. Lionel Robins, CEO of the Renewable U group of companies stated, "In light of the fact that Cielo is not building a BETTER mousetrap, but in fact building the FIRST mousetrap, the delays in commissioning Cielo's game changing technology and placing the Aldersyde Refinery on continuous flow production are understandable. We appreciate the dedication of Cielo's management and commitment by the Company's contractors to work seven days a week to resolve the unforeseen challenges that have occurred subsequent to the Grand Opening of the Aldersyde Refinery in July. We continue to believe that Cielo's technology will soon be up and running and be profitable. We have identified additional territories about which we are in discussions with Cielo to secure on a similar basis as the four locations for which we have already paid Cielo a million dollars for the opportunity to work with Cielo on a joint venture basis."

We are looking forward to being a part of the solution to make the planet a better place for generations to come."

Cielo is also pleased to note that Mr. Allan had presented at the Energy Disruptors 2019 Conference in Calgary, Alberta on September 17th and was a key presenter at the 2019 Zero Waste East Conference in New Jersey on September 24th. As a result of the recent media attention and the exposure at the conferences, Cielo has received inquiries from dozens of interested parties from around the world as to when Cielo will be able to address their waste issues.

CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS:

Cielo has scheduled a conference call for discussion with shareholders on the above operations update. The conference call is set for 9:00am MST, Thursday, October 3rd, 2019. The conference number is 1-877-385-4099 and then dialing the following participant number: 7013581

Great Atlantic Expands Glenelg Vanadium Property Threefold Southwest New Brunswick

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2019 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it has expanded its Glenelg Vanadium Property by means of additional mineral claim staking. The property, located in southwest New Brunswick, has been approximately tripled in size to the current area of approximately 3,500 hectares. The property hosts vanadium and titanium mineralization, occurring within the Bocabec Gabbro Complex.

Company and reported historic bedrock grab samples from within the Glenelg Property from the layered Bocabec Gabbro Complex returned significant levels of vanadium and titanium. Historic grab bedrock samples are reported to return significant levels for gold, cobalt and bismuth.

Vanadium, titanium & iron mineralization in layered Bocabec Gabbro Complex.
Company & historic bedrock grab samples of 0.33% & 0.42% V2O5 & 27.5% TiO2.
Historic bedrock grab samples of 14 g/t Au, 1.28% Bi & 0.65% Co.

The recent mineral staking by the Company significantly expanded the the Glenelg Proeprty to the west-northwest, covering additional ground reported to be underlain by the Silurian Bocabec Gabbro Complex (intrusive complex including gabbro, granodiorite, diorite and granite), areas of reported magnetic anomalies and three gold occurrences (as reported within the New Brunswick Department of Energy and Resource Development Mineral Occurrence files). Such magnetic anomalies are interpreted by Company management to be targets for vanadium and titanium bearing magnetite-rich rich layers within the Compex. A reported 1990 bedrock grab sample of quartz-sulfide breccia from one of the gold occurrences was reported to return 1.33 g/t gold.

A 2018 grab sample collected by the Company from a magnetic layer in the Bocabec Gabbro Complex returned 0.188% vanadium (0.33% V2O5), 10.3% TiO2 and 25.71% iron. This sample was collected within the southeast region of the property within the original mineral claims acquired by the Company. It was collected by a qualified person. This sample was analyzed by ALS Canada Ltd. by XRF Fusion.

Layered Bocabec Gabbro Complex

Another 2018 bedrock grab sample from the same southeast region of the property was reported to return 0.234% vanadium (0.42% V2O5), 7.34% titanium (12.2%TiO2) and 28.8% iron. This sample was collected by one of the Company's option partners for the property. A 2013 sample from this region was reported to return 16.5% titanium (27.5% TiO2). These samples have not been verified by a Qualified Person.

Polymetallic veins are reported within the Glenelg Property. A grab sample collected during 2006 was reported to return 2.6 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 0.65% cobalt. A 2013 grab sample from a sulfide vein was reported to return 14 g/t gold, 1.28% bismuth and 0.12% cobalt. Both samples are reported within the southeast region of the property, within the original mineral claims acquired by the Company. These sample have not been verified by a Qualified Person.

The Glenelg property has seen little exploration. Company management cannot find evidence of historical drilling within the property.

The Glenelg Property is located immediately south of the Clarence Stream Gold Project of Galway Metals Inc. (TSXV.GWM). A portion of the northern boundary of the Glenelg Property borders Galway's Clarence Stream Gold Project. Galway reported a NI 43-101 resource estimate for the project during 2017, reporting total Measured plus Indicated resources of 6,178,000 tonnes at 1.96 g/t gold (390,000 ounces of gold) and total Inferred resources of 3,409,000 tonnes at 2.53 g/t gold (277,000 ounces of gold). Galway reported a new gold discovery at the Clarence Stream Gold Project earlier this year with one hole reported to intersect 7.3 g/t gold over 36.7 meters core length (Galway News Release of February 13, 2019).

The Glenelg Vanadium Property is located within southwest New Brunswick approximately 17 kilometers east of the town of St. Stephen and approximately 15 kilometers northwest of the Company's Mascarene Property which hosts multiple mineral occurrences with cobalt, copper, nickel, zinc, lead, gold and / or silver.

Readers are warned that mineralization at the Clarence Stream Gold Project and the Company's Mascarene Property are not necessarily indicative of mineralization within the Glenelg Vanadium Property.

Jaguar Health Subsidiary Receives Notice of Allowance from Canadian Intellectual Property Office for Patent Application

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2019 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar" or the "Company"), today announced that the Company's wholly-owned, human-health focused subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Napo"), has received a Notice of Allowance from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office for Canadian Patent Application No. 2,816,416, titled Methods and Compositions for Treating HIV-Associated Diarrhea.

"We are very pleased to receive this Notice of Allowance from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office for this patent," Steven King, PhD, Jaguar's executive vice president of sustainable supply, ethnobotanical research and intellectual property, commented. "Jaguar, through Napo, holds extensive global rights for crofelemer, comprising a valuable and significant barrier to entry. At the present time we hold approximately 141 issued worldwide patents, with coverage in many cases that extends until 2031. These issued patents cover multiple indications including HIV-AIDS diarrhea, IBS, IBD, manufacturing, enteric protection from gastric juices, among others. We also have approximately 24 pending patent applications worldwide in the human health areas that are being prosecuted."

Additionally, Mytesi is the first oral drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under botanical guidance, which provides another barrier to entry from potential generic competition. The FDA requires that the manufacturer of crofelemer use a validated proprietary bioassay to release the drug substance and drug product of Mytesi. While most generic products are fashioned to meet chemical release specifications that are in the public domain, the specifics of this assay are not publicly available. There is no pathway by which a generic product can be developed for a drug approved under botanical guidance. In addition, Mytesi is not systemically absorbed, so the classic approach of creating a generic drug by matching pharmacokinetic blood levels is not possible. A generic player would have to conduct costly and risky clinical trials.

The patent covers methods for treating diarrhea by administering to a patient in need thereof, an inhibitor of chloride-ion transport in an amount sufficient to treat diarrhea. Treatment of diarrhea includes the treatment of the diarrhea as well as the pain, abdominal discomfort and other symptoms associated with diarrhea. In one embodiment, the inhibitor of chloride-ion transport is crofelemer.

Crofelemer (Mytesi®) is the Company's anti-secretory anti-diarrheal approved by the FDA for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART).

About Jaguar Health, Inc.

Jaguar Health, Inc. is a commercial stage pharmaceuticals company focused on developing novel, sustainably derived gastrointestinal products on a global basis. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., focuses on developing and commercializing proprietary human gastrointestinal pharmaceuticals for the global marketplace from plants used traditionally in rainforest areas. Our Mytesi® (crofelemer) product is approved by the U.S. FDA for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

About Mytesi®

Mytesi (crofelemer) is an antidiarrheal indicated for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adult patients with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Mytesi is not indicated for the treatment of infectious diarrhea. Rule out infectious etiologies of diarrhea before starting Mytesi. If infectious etiologies are not considered, there is a risk that patients with infectious etiologies will not receive the appropriate therapy and their disease may worsen. In clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions occurring at a rate greater than placebo were upper respiratory tract infection (5.7%), bronchitis (3.9%), cough (3.5%), flatulence (3.1%), and increased bilirubin (3.1%).

See full Prescribing Information at Mytesi.com. Crofelemer, the active ingredient in Mytesi, is a botanical (plant-based) drug extracted and purified from the red bark sap of the medicinal Croton lechleri tree in the Amazon rainforest. Napo has established a sustainable harvesting program for crofelemer to ensure a high degree of quality and ecological integrity.

Murchison Minerals Discovers New Zinc Mineralization 300 Metres South Of Brabant-Mckenzie VMS Deposit

TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2019 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. ("Murchison" or the "Company") (TSXV:MUR) is pleased to announce the discovery of massive sulphide-type zinc mineralization (Table 1 and Figure 1) on strike of the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit. Using Instrumentation GDD Inc.'s Beep Mat technology, a weak sub-surface response was detected, unearthed and sampled with a backpack drill. This discovery has been named Brabant-McKenzie South and is located immediately south of the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit, lying approximately 300 metres from the nearest blocks in the Inferred Resource category.

The backpack drill hole location and related geophysical data is presented in Figure 2. The image includes the Maxwell plate derived from an earlier ground Time Domain Electromagnetic survey (TDEM), the showing located at the site of the backpack drill hole and a proposed diamond drill hole. The coincident magnetic trend can be traced northward to the Brabant-McKenzie deposit (Figures 2 & 3). The large Maxwell plate derived from the ground geophysical survey has a low conductivity-thickness (CT) of 9.3 Siemens, which can be consistent with the characteristically non-conductive sphalerite mineralization.

Mr. Jean‐Charles Potvin, President and CEO stated, "We are very excited about this discovery, as it has the potential to add significant tonnage, especially if both Upper and Lower mineralized zones making up the Brabant-McKenzie deposit continue southward."
