Vancouver, November 24, 2020 – Progressive Planet Solutions Inc.

PLAN intends to use the funds from this sale to purchase larger equipment for its Comminution Plant in Spallumcheen, BC, which in turn will support revenue growth. The comminution plant finished commissioning in late August 2020 and is producing and shipping product on an ongoing basis. The plant currently has a backlog of orders from customers.
“The Snow Lake Resources shares represented a minority interest in a company that is focused on minerals outside our area of interest. This asset was recorded on our balance sheet at a value of $135,388. If the options are exercised, we will receive a total of $400,000 for 10 million of these shares. Our sole focus going forward is to develop our pozzolan and metals properties in BC while growing our bricks and mortar business of making rock powders,” stated Steve Harpur, CEO.
