Icon Exploration Inc. Provides Update on Change of Business Transaction

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2018) - Icon Exploration Inc. (TSXV: IEX.H) ("Icon" or the "Company") advises that further to its news release of January 26, 2018, relating to its proposed change of business resulting from the acquisition of City View Green (the "Proposed Transaction"), the parties are in the process of completing their due diligence on each other. Assuming satisfactory due diligence, Icon hopes to be in a position to negotiate final terms to the definitive agreement by the end of the month.

As previously disclosed, City View Green is a private company incorporated under the laws of Ontario that has an exclusive 5 year lease (with an option to renew for 5 years) with a further exclusive right to lease any future buildings and has added the option to buy the building and land owned by the building owner located in Brantford, Ontario. Additional buildings can be constructed and leased totaling approximately 120,000 ft² of building space. City View Green has submitted an application to Health Canada for an Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR") license and has received a file number indicating receipt of licensed producer application under the ACMPR and further correspondence that CVG is currently under security review.

About City View Green

City View Green is targeting entry into the Canadian Medical and Recreational market in 2018 as a high quality, large-scale cannabis producer. City View Green is an ACMPR applicant strategically located in Branford, Ontario, which is in close proximity to one of Canada's largest cities - Toronto, Ontario.

Upon issuance of the license, City View Green proposes to operate a 40,000 ft² facility, and expects to be able to utilize 28,000 ft² for cultivation. City View intends to grow pharmaceutical grade cannabis to be sold in the current medicinal market and the upcoming recreational market, upon legalization.

City View Green intends to incorporate innovative growing strategies which may be based on technological advancements in LED lighting, advanced HVAC and dehumidification technology, and automation. This progressive growing technology is expected to improve the quality, safety, output and consistency of its cannabis production.

City View Green's management believes that its strategic location in Brantford, Ontario should enable it to be able to draw on the best talent available in the market which is in close proximity to several agricultural learning centres, colleges and universities. FDi, a division of Financial Times Limited, ranked the City of Brantford at the top spot as the most business-friendly city in the micro city category in the 2017/2018 FDi report.
