February 7, 2019, VANCOUVER, B.C. – PROGRESSIVE PLANET SOLUTIONS INC. (PLAN-TSX:V) (“PLAN” or the “Company”) is pleased to present a corporate update on the company’s activities.
 
Zeolite

Our first foray into developing an industrial mineral is focused on the extraction of zeolite from the Z-1 Quarry located in Cache Creek.  In 2018, we divested of 3 early stage mineral properties to focus our resources on developing markets for zeolite while testing the zeolite from the Z-1 Quarry for various properties. Also in 2018, we added multiple members to our Board of Directors, our Advisory Board and as employees with backgrounds in engineering, geology, and chemistry.
Our focus for 2019 will be on monetizing zeolite in four areas:

1. Producing our own supplementary cementing materials (SCM’s) and selling into this space as a Class N SCM.
2. Selling zeolite as a soil amendment in agriculture. We will use the data from our Zeolite Efficacy Trial as a baseline to market in this area. Our target market are growers (small and large scale) as well as commercial composting facilities.
3. Selling our zeolite as a “flowing/anticaking agent for livestock feeds“. We applied to the CFIA and we hope to get approval to market our zeolite in this category in 2019.
4. Selling our zeolite as an alternative to straight road salt for de-icing and anti-slip for commercial property care companies that do parking lot and sidewalk clearing and de-icing. We had our first sale in this market in November 2018.

Further Details on SCMs
The cement industry is currently responsible for about 5% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions.  PLAN believes there is a large opportunity to produce  greener concrete blends and is focusing its efforts on using zeolite as a Supplementary Cementing Material (SCM). There are two factors that make Class N SCM’s more environmentally friendly than conventional cement.
 
First of all, unlike Portland Cement, Class N SCM’s are produced without the combustion of massive amounts of hydrocarbon fuels (coal, used tires, used plastic, natural gas, etc.) to heat a kiln. Class F SCM’s are a by-product of burning hydrocarbons (coal) to make electricity. Class N SCM’s are produced by grinding pozzolanic materials (including zeolite, pumice, diatomaceous earth, and kaolin).
 
 
Secondly, Class N Pozzolans assist in favorable reactions with CO2 to form solid compounds within concrete that permanently sequester CO2. Several companies in Canada are bringing technologies into the marketplace to permanently sequester CO2 in concrete. PLAN is working in this area by using Class N SCM’s as part of the process. Work has included testing our own zeolite while also testing 2 other sources of zeolite from producing mines. In addition, work has been completed on one other pozzolanic material.
By way of background, the most common SCM used in North America today is fly ash (Class F SCM). This fly ash is a by-product of burning coal to produce electricity.  It is widely accepted that burning coal is not environmentally sustainable and we anticipate the availability of Class F SCM’s will diminish into the future based on large scale replacement of coal derived electricity plants in North America.
Samples of our zeolite were taken by an independent BC company owned by engineers with significant experience in the cement industry. These samples were pulverized and tested for their compressive strength in cement mortar using the ASTM C311 Strength Activity Index Test Protocol. We are pleased to announce that our zeolite had superior strength versus commercially available fly ash (Class F SCM).  PLAN has received an expression of interest from an independent third party to partner on producing pulverized zeolite from the Z1 Quarry. Discussions are ongoing, but no deal has yet been reached.  There can be no guarantee or assurance that a deal will be reached.  We will provide further updates as they become available.
 
PLAN purchased a Collider Mill in the summer of 2018 which can produce serval hundred pounds per hour of pulverized zeolite. This asset is being used to develop quantities of Class N SCM’s from zeolite that has been mined from our Z1 Quarry.  This material is being used in our ongoing Class N SCM product development program.
 
Research Partnerships
PLAN has previously announced research work with InnoTech Alberta. We have one major ongoing initiative with InnoTech Alberta. This initiative revolves around developing superior materials for next generation batteries. In 2018, significant work was completed in developing super capacitors with the ability to hold high density, static electrical charges. Super capacitors have been a focus of research over the last decade as a complimentary technology to chemical battery systems.
 
With the conversion of our interest in the Thompson Brothers Lithium Property in Manitoba, this work is no longer considered a primary focus. As a result, our focus in 2019 will be to determine what trade secrets can be patented with work performed to date while seeking a partner to co-fund the balance of this research.
Other Assets
As part of our focus on selling product from the Z1 Quarry, we previously announced the divesting of three mineral properties. PLAN currently has mineral rights interests in only two properties including the Z1 Zeolite Quarry in BC and the Buckingham Graphite Property in Quebec.
 
In 2018, we announced the conversion of our 20% earn in interest in the Thompson Brothers Lithium Project into shares of Snow Lake Resources (see news release dated November 18, 2018). In addition, we recently signed an agreement to convert an old debt due to us into shares of Group Ten Metals. This agreement is subject to Exchange approval. Finally, Berkwood Resources triggered the conversion of our 5% percent earn in on their graphite property (see news release dated October 30, 2018). We earned this interest by funding $250,000 of Berkwood’s latest exploration program to satisfy PLAN’s requirement to spend $250,000 of flow through funds on a Quebec mineral property before December 31, 2018.
 
As a result of the foregoing, our converted mineral property interests now include the following:
 

• 10,500,000 common shares of Snow Lake Resources;
• 1,750,000 common shares of Berkwood Resources + 875,000 warrants, exercisable into additional common shares in the capital of Berkwood Resources at a price of $0.15 per share, for a period of 2 years from issuance; and,
• 200,000 common shares of Group Ten Metals Inc. (subject to Exchange approval).

 
Cost Cutting
In 2018, we had to fund the remaining balance due to complete our earn in rights to the Z-1 Zeolite Quarry. We also spent significant funds on research and development and in converting non-core mineral assets into marketable securities and in funding existing flow through financing requirements.
 
A significant amount of this work was conducted by our former COO, Derek Knight. Upon completion of many of these projects, we were excited to see Derek move on to become the CEO of Snow Lake Resources, a company in which we own a significant interest. With this move, a significant part of our payroll was eliminated while a valued team member moved on to develop an asset of value to PLAN.
 
In addition, we have recently terminated or did not renew multiple services contracts, and we were able to procure services at a lower cost in the areas of corporate secretarial, investor relations, and website/IT services.
 
 
We are pleased to announce that a long time shareholder, Mr. David Miedzygorski, has accepted a position handling investor relations.  Before accepting the position, David took the time to visit  the Advanced Materials Centre in Vernon where he observed our Collider Mill producing pulverized zeolite for use in SCM testing and had a tour of our concrete research lab. Mr. Miedzygorski will be paid $1,500 per month and will receive 200,000 stock options, exercisable at $0.05 per share for a period of 2 years, subject to the terms thereto. We welcome Mr. Miedzygorski to our team.

NOVEMBER 26, 2018, VANCOUVER, B.C. – PROGRESSIVE PLANET SOLUTIONS INC. (PLAN-TSX:V) (“Progressive Planet”, “PLAN” or the “Company”) has received additional results from InnoTech Alberta for its Zeolite Efficacy Trial. We have disclosed what we deem to be material in nature.
The trial included two popular grow media used in the Cannabis industry. Each grow medium was placed into 28 pots. For each grow medium, seven pots containing no Z1 Zeolite functioned as a baseline and seven pots had 5%, 10% and 15% of Z1 Zeolite added by weight respectively.
The objectives of the study were to investigate the effect of PLAN’s Z1 Zeolite on the growth and qualities of greenhouse grown low-THC Cannabis (industrial hemp), irrigation water use and nutrient release/retention of two substrates. The first substrate was an organic grow medium specifically tailored for growing Cannabis. The second substrate was a widely used, high porosity, low density, peat-based growing medium, widely available for retail purchase in Canada, which also contains mycorrhizae.
Section 39(1) of the Industrial Hemp Regulations (IHR) allows a variety of industrial hemp to be designated as an approved cultivar, provided that the variety will produce a plant that will contain 0.3% THC or less in its leaves and flowering heads. For our study, we selected the Sativa hemp cultivar X-59 (Hemp Nut). This cultivar contains compacted, profuse flower heads and is known to contain approximately 1.5% of CBD and 0.1% or less of THC at grain harvest stage according to Dr. Jan Slaski, the lead advisor of the Zeolite Efficacy Study. Finally, this cultivar of hemp is exempt from THC testing under subsection 16 (1) of the Industrial Hemp Regulations.
We wish to state that the chemical composition and the cation exchange capacity of Zeolite vary for different deposits. As a result, the results from this study cannot be extrapolated for other Zeolite deposits.
Prior results reported focused solely on the organic grow medium and did not include any cannabinoid analyses of flower tissue for either of the grow media.
The cannabinoids analyzed included CBC, CBD, CBDa, CBG, CBGa, CBN, d8-THC, d9-THC, THCa, and THCV.  We have not reported any THC compounds as the cultivar used contains 0.1% or less of THC at grain harvest as described above. A UHPLC system equipped with a UV DAD detector was used for the analyses of all cannabinoids tested.
PLAN will not release all the data from the report in order to protect intellectual property, but the following material observations were made:
Organic grow medium designed for growing Cannabis

• Z1 Zeolite added to the organic grow medium improved soil moisture conservation and the retention of the majority of 19 tested elements and improved the mineral status of the flower buds.
• Based on calculated harvest index, flower bud yield was increased where Z1 Zeolite was added.
• The highest average total bud yield per category of Z1 Zeolite added was 123.2 grams per plant and this average was recorded for the seven pots which contained 10% Z1 Zeolite. The baseline with no Z1 Zeolite had a yield of 118 grams, which was not significantly different than the 10% Z1 Zeolite addition result.
• Z1 Zeolite did not significantly affect the production of all detectable cannabinoid compounds versus the baseline; however, total CBD ranged between 0.54% to 2.66% when Z1 Zeolite was added. Much of this variation may be attributed to genetic variability of the seed. InnoTech Alberta proposed further study of Z-1 Zeolite using clonally propagated high-CBD lines of industrial hemp and/or high THC Cannabis strains to quantify this efficacy.

Widely available peat-based grow medium

• Z1 Zeolite added to the peat-based grow medium did not improve soil moisture conservation or nutrient retention. This result was not unexpected as the peat-based medium is designed as a multi-use growing medium and is specifically designated as high porosity with a high content of perlite.
• The highest average total bud yield per category of Z1 Zeolite added was 162.8 grams per plant and this average was recorded for the seven pots which contained 10% Z1 Zeolite. The baseline with no Z1 Zeolite had a yield of 59.1 grams.
• In plants grown in 10% Z1 Zeolite pots, the total CBD concentration available as a percentage was slightly lower versus the organic growing medium, but the absolute total CBD amount as measured by weight was higher due to the higher total bud yield.
• Zeolite stimulated the production of tested cannabinoid compounds. When 5% or 10 % Z1 Zeolite was added to the grow media, CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC and THC were higher than the baseline (0% Z1 Zeolite added). Total CBD available was 1.07% for the baseline with no Z1 Zeolite. Total CBD was 1.40% and 1.38% with 5% and 10% Z1 Zeolite added respectively. As with the organic grow medium, InnoTech Alberta recommended further trials using clonally propagated high-CBD lines of industrial hemp and/or high THC cannabis strains.

Based on the excellent results of the study with respect to 10% Z1 Zeolite added to the widely available peat-based grow medium, Progressive Planet plans to begin selling 454-gram (1 pound) bags of Z-1 Zeolite on its website.  The e-commerce platform to enable online shopping is being developed concurrently with packaging and labeling.
“I am very satisfied that the study confirmed our hypothesis that our Z1 Zeolite has merit when used with a widely available Canadian grow medium.  Progressive Planet has an existing bagging line at the Advanced Material Centre and we plan to start selling small bags of Z1 Zeolite to Canadians who wish to use this to enhance grow media when legally growing Cannabis plants in their homes in Canada,” said Stephen Harpur, CEO. Progressive Planet also plans to offer larger bags and bulk sales of Z1 Zeolite to commercial Canadian hemp and Cannabis growers in Canada in 2019.
Based on the results of this trial, Progressive Planet has procured an option to lease five acres of land immediately adjacent to its Advanced Materials Centre in Vernon, BC for the purpose of growing strains of industrial hemp outdoors during the 2019 growing season. All strains we plan to grow will be designated by Health Canada as approved cultivars.  In addition, an additional five acres of farm land located in Salmon Arm, BC and owned by Stephen Harpur, CEO, have been made available for the same purpose. Progressive Planet has no plans to grow any strain of Cannabis which contains high levels of THC.
It is the intention of Progressive Planet to use the data gathered from this comprehensive study to focus on maximizing the yield of both CBD and CBG in industrial hemp. Progressive Planet intends to engage InnoTech Alberta as technical advisors for this second phase of testing.  “I am excited to act as a Technical Advisor to Progressive Planet in their pursuit of high bud yields and increased CBD and CBG cannabinoid concentrations in Phase 2 of their Z1 Zeolite Efficacy Grow Trials. For Phase 1, the constraint of time did not permit us to use clones. With the data from Phase 1 and the time to procure clones, this is an option for Phase 2 of the Z1 Zeolite Efficacy Trials” stated Dr. Jan Slaski.
There is no guarantee that Progressive Planet will receive approval to grow industrial hemp in 2019 in either of these two locations in the Okanagan Region of BC.  The Company cautions that it remains in the evaluation stage of these opportunities only, and has not submitted any applications to become a licensed grower of industrial hemp, and that any transaction resulting in the Company’s entry into the hemp industry will require various approvals, including that of Health Canada and the TSX Venture Exchange, and at present, none of those approvals have been sought.
Progressive Planet is a Canadian based mineral exploration company with its flagship Z1 Zeolite Mine in British Columbia, an equity interest in Snow Lake Resources, the right to earn a 5% interest in the Lac Guéret Extensions Graphite Project in Quebec and a 100% interest in the Buckingham Graphite Project in Quebec.
