Trius Reactivates to the TSX Venture Exchange

FREDERICTON, New Brunswick, Aug. 04, 2020 -- Trius Investments Inc. (TSXV: TRU.H) (“Trius” or the “Company”) is pleased

to announce that it has obtained final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) in respect of its application for

reactivation and graduation to the TSXV from the NEX Board of the TSXV as a Tier 2 investment issuer (the “Reactivation”).

Effective August 6, 2020, trading in the Company’s common shares will take place on the TSXV under the trading symbol

“TRU”.

The Company’s application for Reactivation was based on Trius re-attaining compliance with applicable TSXV listing

requirements. The Reactivation does not constitute a “Reverse Takeover” or “Change of Business” for purposes of TSXV

Policies.

The Reactivation is intended to continue Trius’ momentum following recent positive corporate developments, including:

advancing a $1,250,000 secured loan to Revive Organics Inc., a ready-to-eat meals business, as announced on March 20,

2020; amending its Investment Policy to provide additional flexibility, as announced on May 14, 2020; completing a $500,000

private placement financing, as announced on May 25, 2020; and investing in Pasofino Gold Limited (TSXV:VEIN) for exposure

to the mining sector, and in particular precious metals, as announced on July 28, 2020.

Completing the Reactivation and re-listing on TSXV is expected to enhance Trius’ market visibility and permit it to pursue a

wider range of investment structures and financing sources.
