Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 26, 2019) - Brigadier Gold Limited (TSXV: BRG.H) (the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") for its change of business transaction (the "Proposed COB"). Final acceptance will be subject to receipt of shareholder approval and completion of certain other conditions, including delivery of completed application documentation and closing of the previously announced private placement offering of units ("Units") for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of CAD$2,000,000, with each Unit comprising one (1) common share of the Corporation and one-half (1/2) of one common share purchase warrant, for a price of $0.25 per Unit. Each whole purchase warrant will be exercisable for one common share of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) for a price of $0.50 per common share for a period of one year.

Following completion of the Proposed COB, the Corporation will commence trading under the name Canrim Growth Group Inc. and under the symbol "CBDA" (the "Resulting Issuer"). As previously described in the news releases of the Corporation dated June 17, 2019, August 21, 2019 and October 7, 2019, the Resulting Issuer's initial portfolio will comprise an investment of up to 75% equity ownership ( on a post-converted, fully diluted basis) in CBD Group Asia Limited ("CGA") and strategic investment/partnership with Natural Source Group Pte Limited ("NSG"). The Resulting Issuer will actively seek additional investment opportunities that will create long-term value for its shareholders.

"Asia, and China in particular, represent an early-stage, multibillion-dollar market opportunity in cannabis and cannabis derivatives," remarked Ranjeet Sundher, President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Corporation. "According to Hong Kong-based investment company Regent Pacific Group, the cannabidiol ("CBD") market in China alone is forecasted to be worth $15-billion (USD) by 2024, citing beauty and wellness as the main drivers. We anticipate CGA's first-mover status to be a critical success factor as it enters what is projected to be a near-term high-growth segment in Asian markets and which we expect will yield a multitude of additional investment opportunities aligned with the Resulting Issuer's strategy and profile."

CGA Business Updates

James Foster, CEO of CGA and incoming board member of the Resulting Issuer was a keynote speaker at the China Hemp Association's "Hemp CBD" conference in Harbin, HeiLongJiang, China last weekend. His topic was "Investing in China's Emerging CBD Sector utilizing Public Markets". Industry leaders from across China as well as globally were in attendance to gain further insight into what will become the global centre for CBD and its use in cosmetic, health and other products in China and elsewhere.

As previously announced, CBD Group Asia Limited ("CGA") has entered into joint-venture arrangements with two leading North American cannabidiol ("CBD") cosmetics and skin-care manufacturers, AgraFlora Organics International Inc. ("AgraFlora") and Allied Corp. ("Allied").

Initial distribution of AgraFlora's existing product lines has commenced through CGA's distribution partners. Furthermore, CGA is developing, in partnership with AgraFlora, new product lines specific to Asia to further expand upon their sales revenue and product scope. CGA and Allied are currently developing products to comply with applicable regulations in China and elsewhere in Asia which will be sold through their distribution chains. CGA's management is hopeful that sales of these products will begin before the end of 2019.

CGA's CEO James Foster remarked, "Initial control group testing and sales activity have indicated a strong market exists for the portfolio products of CGA. Following investment upon closing of Proposed COB by Canrim, we will be prepared to expand our operations significantly to truly realize the potential of our first mover advantage as a CBD product distribution company operating in China."

Trading in the common shares of the Corporation will remain halted pending completion of the Proposed COB.

The Corporation currently expects to hold a special meeting of shareholders in early-to mid January to approve the Proposed COB and related matters. The information circular relating to this meeting will be filed under the Corporation's profile on www.sedar.com on the date of mailing to registered holders.

The Corporation also announces that it has entered into amending agreements with CGA and NSG to extend the term of the respective investment agreements to April 30, 2020.
