About Lakeside Minerals Inc.

Lakeside is currently a NEX listed issuer and was formerly listed as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer pursuant to the policies of the TSXV. Management and board have considered potential strategies to maximize shareholder value in both the cannabis and mineral exploration sectors, including strategic alternatives relating to the Company's Launay project and different facets of the United States cannabis industry with a specific focus on plant propagation and growing as retail segments of the value chain. With this new announcement, the Company intends to transition to a marijuana issuer, subject to necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, with a focus on building grows that rely heavily on technology processes and data collection and analysis.
