Vancouver, January 25, 2021 – Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PLAN) (“PLAN” or “Progressive Planet”), announces that it has engaged C&CS Atlantic Inc. to complete  testing required to commercially launch PozGlass SCM. The principal of C&CS Atlantic is Dr. Michael Thomas.
In 2020, the University of Alberta conducted an initial set of tests on the company’s Natural Pozzolan Blend, which showed superior qualities to fly ash as a supplementary cementing material. Due to COVID-19, the U of A was only able to complete some of the necessary tests.
The additional testing will be conducted in two phases with phase one expected to be completed by the end of April 2021 and phase two in the third quarter of 2021.
Subject to a successful completion of the additional tests such as compressive strength and alkali-silica reactivity, management will move to a full-scale commercial roll-out of the PozGlass SCM product. PozGlass SCM combines natural pozzolan, recycled, post-consumer glass, and proprietary formulations and processes. The objective is to displace fly ash, a by-product of burning coal for electricity generation, with an environmentally friendly product that creates enhanced properties in ready mix and pre-cast concrete.
Michael Thomas is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of New Brunswick (UNB), Canada, and a registered Professional Engineer in the province of New Brunswick. Michael has been working in the field of cement and concrete research since 1983.
Prior to joining UNB in 2002, Michael had been on faculty at the University of Toronto since 1994, and previous to this, he worked as a concrete materials engineer with Ontario Hydro in Canada (1991-93) and as a research fellow with the Building Research Establishment in the UK (1986-1991).
Dr. Thomas’s main research interests are concrete durability and the use of industrial by-products including pozzolans and slag. Dr. Thomas has authored more than 200 technical papers and reports including the book “Supplementary Cementing Materials in Concrete”.
Dr. Thomas is active on technical committees within the American Concrete Institute (ACI), ASTM, RILEM, and the Canadian Standards Association (Awarded Order of Merit in 2010). He was a recipient of the ACI’s Wason Medal for Materials Research in 1997, 2009 and 2014, the ACI Construction Practice Award in 2001 and was elected to a Fellow of the Institute in 2006.
“PLAN is excited to commence a working relationship with C&CS Atlantic and Dr. Thomas. As we continue to build our team, we are focused on procuring world class talent. We are also proud to use Canadian expertise wherever possible,” stated Steve Harpur, CEO.
In addition to conducting tests on pozzolans owned by PLAN, the testing regimen includes testing additional pozzolans which PLAN is evaluating for potential future use.

Vancouver, December 18, 2020 – Progressive Planet Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PLAN) (“PLAN” or “Progressive Planet”), an emerging leader in the commercialization of natural pozzolans to reduce the carbon footprint of cement production, is pleased to announce that it has completed the 2020 Summer Exploration program with positive results on its 100% owned Heffley Creek  Metals and Pozzolan Property in BC.  PLAN has progressively reported through the summer of 2020 the results and discovery of a nickel and chromium soil anomalies, which were then confirmed by detailed rock sampling.  The nickel and chromium anomalous area ranges from 150 to 300 metres in width and 600 to 800 metres in length (PLAN October 28, 2020).
The summer program consisted of soil sampling (459 soil samples), rock sampling (271 rock samples) and prospecting.
A total of 271 rock samples have submitted for analysis and all results have been received to date.  Of the 271 samples, 84 (31%) returned values greater than 0.1% nickel and 43 (15.9%) of those samples returned values greater than 0.2% nickel, with the highest value being 0.27% nickel.  The results are illustrated on Figure 1.
Of the 271 rock samples, 59 (21.8%)  samples returned values greater than 0.2% chromium and 13 (4.8%) of those samples returned values greater than 0.4 % chromium with the highest values being 0.66% chromium.  The results are illustrated on Figure 2.
Figures 1 and 2 illustrates the coincident anomalous nickel and chromium sample locations in an area ranging from 150 to 350 metres in width and 600 to 800 metres in length.  The anomalous area is still open along strike to the south into an area of little outcrop.  This anomalous trend is coincident with the previously identified nickel in soil anomaly reported on August 5, 2020.
The anomalous nickel and chromium grab samples were collected in altered leuco-gabbro and serpentinite rocks. There are 2 anomalous nickel – chromium samples (+ 0.1 % Ni and + 0.1% Cr) 500 metres to the south along this trend.  The area between the 2 anomalous trends will be sampled in detail in the future, but with the lack of outcrop in this area and the beginning of snow fall at the high elevation of the area, this work will commence in the Spring of 2021.
All rock samples were also analyzed for gold.  A total of 9 (3.3%) grab samples returned values over 0.1 g/t gold with the highest grab sample returned 0.6 g/t gold.  Figure 3 illustrates the location of the anomalous gold samples within an area approximately 200 metres wide by 800 metres long with abundant quartz boulders and gabbroic bedrock with quartz stringers and veins.  There is no correlation with gold and the nickel – chromium.
All samples are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.



“I am very pleased with the results of the overall summer exploration program with the discovery of the nickel – chromium soil anomaly, then verifying the soil anomaly with rock sampling and then defining of the nickel – chromium anomaly in width and in length” indicated Dwayne Melrose, Director and Technical Advisor for PLAN. “There are still remaining identified nickel – chromium samples outside of the main anomalous area plus the elevated gold samples that have to be followed up in 2021.  All data from the summer program will be complied and interpreted to define the 2021 summer exploration program.”
“The discovery of anomalous chromium values of up to 0.66% in conjunction with the nickel values increases the value of the rock. Stainless steels contain at least 10.5% chromium, so there is a robust market for nickel and chromium. PLAN will begin the process of applying for a drill permit in January 2021,” stated Steve Harpur, CEO.
As part of the check analysis program, 62 rock samples selected and were re-analyzed using Whole Rock Fusion/X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) at the ALS Canada metallurgical facility in Kamloops.  XRF reported an increase of chromium content compared to the 4 acid digestion ICP that was initially used. To verify the chromium results and as a further check, all rock samples were then subjected to Whole Rock Fusion/X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) and conducted by ALS Canada Geochemical Division.  The comparison of the XRF results with the original 62 XRF check samples have a very high repeatability.  When comparing the two analytical methods for chromium results, the XRF values on average returned higher chromium values at an average ratio of 1.6 times.  As the XRF method is a more precise method, all chromium results reported in this release and in the future will be based of the XRF analytical method.
Analyses were completed by the Metallurgical division and also the Geochemical division of ALS  Canada.  Base metal contents were measured by aqua-regia digestion and analysis on ICP-AES. The Precious Metals analyses were completed on all samples using fire assay fusion followed by AA finish (Au) or ICP finish (Pt and Pd) to measure gold, platinum, and palladium. Silver was measured using aqua regia digestion. All rock samples were also analyzed by 14 element Whole Rock Fusion/X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF).
Dwayne Melrose, P. GEO, a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
Update on Testing with University of Alberta
PLAN received written notification from the University of Alberta that due to access restrictions effective from December 14, 2020 through to a minimum of January 11, 2021, no testing work can be completed on the five tests which were contracted for completion with U of A as announced in a news release on August 20, 2020. “While this news is disappointing, we recognize that the safety of research staff is paramount during these unprecedent times. PLAN will evaluate other options to accelerate final testing of its PozGlass SCM product. PozGlass SCM was developed by PLAN to replace fly ash in concrete,” stated Steve Harpur, CEO.

The first sale was for 1,700,000 shares at $0.04 per share for a total of $68,000 and includes an option granted by PLAN entitling the same party to purchase an additional 4,966,666 shares at $0.04 per share until May 11, 2021. The second sale was for 1,250,000 shares at $0.04 per share for a total of $50,000 and includes an option granted by PLAN to such party to purchase an additional 2,083,334 shares until August 14, 2021. As at the date of this news release, PLAN has received $116,000 and will receive another $284,000 if the remaining shares are purchased under the option agreements.
The sale of this non-core asset is the final step in focusing PLAN on developing its portfolio of assets in the Kamloops area of BC. The map below shows the location of the 3 mineral properties and the comminution plant.

MAP OF PLAN’s BC ASSETS

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.
