Santa Ysabel Economic Development Corporation Engages Gunpowder Capital Corp.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 27, 2018) - Gunpowder Capital Corp. (CSE: GPC), (CSE: GPC.PR.A), (OTCQB: GNPWF), (FSE: YS6N), ("Gunpowder" or the "Corporation") announced today that the Santa Ysabel Economic Development Corporation ("Santa Ysabel EDC"), a federally chartered "Section 17" corporation wholly owned by the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel ("Tribe"), has retained Gunpowder to act as financial advisor to the Santa Ysabel EDC and to assist it in completing a proposed "go public" transaction of its affiliate corporation Back Country Property Management, LLC ("BCPM"), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Tribe.

BCPM is a cannabis products management company located on Tribal land within the state of California. BCPM currently manages cannabis grow and production operations on an approximately eight-acre footprint, with development plans for expansion.

Upon BCPM successfully listing its common shares onto a Canadian-based stock exchange, Gunpowder will receive a fee of five percent (5%) of all outstanding common shares of BCPM at the time of listing.

Mr. Paul Haber, Chief Financial Officer of Gunpowder, stated: "We are extremely pleased to have been selected by the Santa Ysabel EDC to manage the next stage in BCPM's corporate development and growth. Being situated in California, the Santa Ysabel Tribe already has access to a huge market and we predict that the United Stated will eventually implement the legalization of cannabis nationwide. Should that happen, the Santa Ysabel EDC's market will grow tremendously. We like the fact that the Santa Ysabel EDC is already diverse, as it manages the growth and development of a wide array of cannabis and hemp based products maximizing its outreach to potential customers."

Mr. David Chelette, Vice Chairman of the Santa Ysabel EDC, stated: "The Back Country Property Management model is designed to allow for flexibility and growth in the dynamic cannabis market. Located on sovereign Tribal land, Back Country Property Management is a leader in the California tribal market and will have a huge business advantage in the larger, non-tribal market once cannabis is legalized on the federal level. Back Country Property Management looks forward to working with Gunpowder Capital to expand their business throughout Indian Country."

BCPM is headquartered on the Tribe's reservation in Southern California.
