Minerals Ltd. (“ Astar”) (formerly TSX.V: TAR) are pleased to announce t hat further to their news

release of July 13, 2017, FinCanna and Astar have completed the contemplated plan of arrangement

(the “Arrangement”).

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Astar acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of

FinCanna in exchange for common shares of Astar on a one to one basis. In addition, each outstanding

option and warrant to acquire a FinCanna common share became exercisable for one Astar common

share. Under the terms of the Arrangement, FinCanna became a wholly -owned subsidiary of Astar and

Astar, as the “Resulting Issuer”, will continue on with the business o f FinCanna under the name

“FinCanna Capital Corp.” Any reference to the “Resulting Issuer” in this news release refers to Astar

following completion of the Arrangement and the foregoing name change.

Further to FinCanna’s news release dated December 19, 201 7, FinCanna issued an aggregate of

12,373,580 subscription receipts (the “ Subscription Receipts ”) for gross proceeds of C$6,186,790 (the

“Subscription Receipt Offering ”). C$3,000,000 of the Subscription Receipt Offering was conducted on a

brokered basis le d by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “ Lead Agent ”) and consisted of a consortium of

agents including the Lead Agent, Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. and Sprott Capital Partners.

C$3,186,790 of the Subscription Receipt Offering was conducted on a non -brokered basis and was led

Triview Capital Ltd.

In accordance with their terms, immediately prior to closing of the Arrangement, each Subscription

Receipt was automatically converted for one FinCanna common share and one-half of one FinCanna
