Corporate Update

Blox is advancing its project division and is most notably progressing in the acquisition of the three (3) mineral concessions announced on June 24, 2013, as part of the amalgamation with Quivira Gold Ltd. The Company awaits the completion of various formalities to close the acquisition which includes a financing of US$1.5 million.

In addition to its previously announced acquisitions, Blox continues to evaluate other potential partnerships and is active in its pursuit of several mineable projects in West Africa. The focus on this region will likely lead to the shift in focus of its renewable energy division.

The Company's biogas asset in Hungary is currently undergoing care and maintenance and the Company has elected to cancel its power contract during this idle time. The contract was between MAVIR Zrt. and Kenderes Biogáz Termelő Kft., the Company's subsidiary, for the sale of up to 5,842 megawatt-hours per year from July 2007 to December 2020. The power could be sold at three different rates each day: 37.72 Hungarian Forints per kilowatt-hour (HUF/kWh) at peak hours; 33.76 HUF/kWh at midday hours, and 13.75 HUF/kWh at night hours. The request was submitted on April 26, 2014 and approved on May 23, 2014 for termination on June 1, 2014. There were no penalties for the termination. Once the care and maintenance process has concluded, Blox will utilize the opportunity and seek competitive rates before establishing a new contract.

The Company continues to pursue acquisitions which will lead to the production of renewable energy and eco-friendly mineral production.
