ROCKSHIELD CAPITAL PROVIDES BLOCKCHAIN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO UPDATE

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - January 11, 2018) - Rockshield Capital Corp. (CSE:RKS), (US:CRUOF), (FSE:6
--->BC) ("Rockshield" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the various blockchain investments it has made 
--->to date. 

Over the past 6 months Rockshield has been diligently reviewing countless opportunities in the blockchain and crypto c
--->urrency industry and to date has invested in a number of blockchain companies that we think are best positioned to cap
--->italize on this emerging global industry. Leveraging our professional network we have gained access to a number of inv
--->estments at early stage private rounds that are attractively priced and should position Rockshield to capture signific
--->ant value appreciation as these companies expand operations and go public. 

As the industry is still in its infancy we have decided to take a portfolio approach spreading our investments across 
--->a number of companies, often providing seed capital.  We have limited our investments so that no single position repre
--->sents more than 4% of an investee company. Below is a quick summary of the blockchain companies we have invested in to
