Lions Bay Mining Announces Execution of Secured Lending Facility with BioVaxys Inc. and Production of Vaccine Candidate for Preclinical Study

Vancouver, June 23, 2020 - Lions Bay Mining Corp. (CSE: LBM) (the "Company" or "Lions Bay") is pleased to announce that, following the execution of a Share Exchange Agreement with BioVaxys Inc. ("BioVaxys"), the Company has executed a USD$180,000 secured lending facility with BioVaxys, the proceeds of which will be used primarily for BioVaxys' preclinical studies of BVX-0320, a novel vaccine candidate for prevention of Covid-19 (the "BVX-0320 Vaccine Candidate").

BioVaxys has contracted for the production of it's BVX-0320 Vaccine Candidate with Millipore/Sigma, a Division of Merck KGaA based in Darmstadt, Germany. BioVaxys has engaged Charles River Laboratories, based in Wilmington, Massachusetts, to conduct a preclinical study of it's BVX-0320 Vaccine Candidate at various dosages in a mouse study (the "Murine Model Study"). Upon successful completion of the Murine Model Study, the BioVaxys anticipates taking further steps to pursue regulatory approval for a study of it's BVX-0320 Vaccine Candidate in humans.

BioVaxys has developed its vaccine technology platforms based on the established immunological concept that modifying proteins-with simple chemicals called haptens makes them more visible to the immune system. The process of haptenization "teaches" a patient's immune system to recognize and make target proteins more 'visible' as foreign, thereby stimulating an immune response. BioVaxys antiviral approach entails haptenizing those SAR-CoV-2 viral proteins that are critical to the ability of the virus to bind to and enter human cells. For greater certainty, BioVaxys is not making any express or implied claims that it has the ability to treat the SAR-CoV-2 virus at this time.

James Passin, CEO of BioVaxys, stated, "We are excited to initiate preclinical work on our vaccine for SARS-CoV-2, the disease that causes Covid-19. We look forward to completing the merger process defined in the Share Exchange Agreement between BioVaxys and Lions Bay Mining and further advancing our haptenized vaccine technology."
