Trius Provides General Update

FREDERICTON, New Brunswick , Oct. 05, 2018 -- Trius Investments Inc. (“Trius” or the “Company”) (TSXV:TRU.H) wishes to

provide the following updates.

As Trius no longer has active business operations or material assets other than cash, the Company expects to produce its

financial statements and MD&A for the third fiscal quarter of 2018 more quickly than in previous quarters. Trius expects to

publish these filings in late October.

Trius continues to search for investments and new business opportunities that can deliver value for its shareholders. Trius has

not entered into any agreements in respect of any specific potential transactions, and there can be no assurance that Trius’

efforts will result in any transaction being pursued, entered into, or consummated.

Finally, Trius announces that today it has granted 25,000 incentive stock options (“Options”) to an arm’s length consultant

providing advisory services to the Company for no additional compensation. These Options were granted in accordance with

the Company’s Stock Option Plan and have an exercise price of $0.17 each, a one-year term, and vest immediately. This

grant of Options remains subject to the approval of the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange.
