Blockchain Evolution owns EvolveChain, the world’s first identification based blockchain. It has recently successfully completed the cloning of its blockchain, which is a critical component in the commercialization of the EvolveChain blockchain. The Blockchain Evolution software team can now create multiple versions of the EvolveChain blockchain, each of which can be modified for specific targeted commercial and governmental uses. The primary differentiation between EvolveChain and other blockchains is that EvolveChain is based on user identification. EvolveChain is currently being utilized by the identification based GreenCoinX cryptocurrency, and is also the basis for an ongoing blockchain project designed to create anti-fraud blockchains for use by governments worldwide. Blockchain Evolution has also contracted with Medi-Data Blockchain Inc, a GreenBank subsidiary, to create a custom designed blockchain solution providing medical confidentiality systems for the healthcare community. Other blockchain projects are now being developed by Blockchain Evolution. More information is available on its website www.blockchainevolutioninc.com
Ubique is a zinc exploration company which owns 108 claims located in the Daniel’s Harbour area in Newfoundland, Canada, covering 27 sq kms, of which 100 claims are contiguous. The Ubique claims comprise three zones, namely P Zone, Cobo’s Pond and Tilt Pond. The P Zone is where Ubique completed its 2017 drilling program, the highlight of which was a true width intersection of 13.6% Zinc over 39.9ft including 17.43% Zinc over 28.2 ft. Ubique management believes that the Cobo’s Pond claims are strategically significant as they could potentially contain the extension to the mineralized horizon hosting the high-grade zinc intercepts from the 2017 drilling program. The Tilt Pond claims cover a southern mineral trend adjacent to previous drilling completed by Teck Exploration in 1990 on the adjacent Black Duck and Trapper claims (Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines, Geofiles Metadata Search). Ubique’s claims are around the former Daniel’s Harbour zinc mine situated approximately 10 km northeast of the town of Daniel’s Harbour on the west coast of Newfoundland. Approximately 7,000,000 tonnes averaging 7.8% zinc have been mined from the Daniel’s Harbour mine (Wardle, R.J. (2000) Mineral Commodities of Newfoundland and Labrador – Zinc and Lead; Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Geological Survey, Mineral Commodities Series Number 1, 12 pages). More information on Ubique is available on its website www.ubiqueminerals.com
Buchans Wileys is a minerals exploration company whose flagship property consists of 48 claims located approximately 4 km southwest of the past producing Buchan’s Mine that produced 16,196,876 tonnes of ore at an average mill head grade of 14.51% zinc, 7.65% lead, 1.33% copper, 126 grams/tonne silver and 1.37 grams per tonne gold. (Wardle,R.J (2000) Mineral Commodities of Newfoundland and Labrador- Zinc and Lead; Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Geological Survey, Mineral Commodities Series Number 1, 12 pages). A further 30 claims, known as Buchans Wileys South, (“BW South”) are located 15 km southeast of the Buchans Wileys flagship property. BW South is located approximately 18 km southeast of the past producing Buchan’s Mine. In August 2017 an airborne survey of the Buchans Wileys property was completed. That information is currently being evaluated and will be included in a NI 43-101 report to be completed shortly.
