 Tanzania Minerals Corp. and Jushi Inc Announce Subscription Receipt Offering
               in Connection with Reverse Takeover Transaction
Vancouver, British Columbia (April 23, 2019)   Tanzania Minerals Corp. ("Tanzania" or the
"Company") [NEX: TZM.H]   Tanzania and Jushi Inc ("Jushi") are pleased to announce that
Jushi has entered into an engagement letter with Eight Capital, pursuant to which Eight Capital,
as lead agent and sole bookrunner, along with a syndicate of agents, including GMP Securities
L.P., Echelon Wealth Partners, Inc., Haywood Securities, Inc and PI Financial Corp.
(collectively, the "Agents"), will arrange for sale on a commercially reasonable "best efforts"
agency offering on a private placement basis, subscription receipts (each, a " Subscription
Receipt") at a price to be determined in the range of US$2.50 to US$3.50 per Subscription
Receipt (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to US$50,000,000 (the
"Offering"). The Issue Price range was selected based on a post-money fully-diluted in-the-
money enterprise value of approximately US$330 million to US$470 million.
Founded in 2018, Jushi and its industry leading management team is building an integrated
multi-state owner and operator of cannabis and hemp licenses across the United States. Jushi
is focused on continuing to build a diverse multi-state portfolio of branded cannabis and hemp-
derived assets through opportunistic investments and by internally pursuing licenses in
attractive jurisdictions. Jushi strives to maximize shareholder value while delivering high quality
products across all levels of the cannabis and hemp ecosystem.
Terms of the Transaction
The Offering is being completed in connection with the proposed business combination that will
result in a reverse takeover of Tanzania by the security holders of Jushi (the "Proposed
Transaction"). If the Proposed Transaction is successfully completed, the Company will
continue with the business of Jushi under the name "Jushi Holdings Inc." (the "Resulting
Issuer"). Tanzania and Jushi intend to apply to the Neo Exchange (the "NEO") for the listing of
the subordinate voting shares of the Resulting Issuer (the "Subordinate Voting Shares").
The Subscription Receipts will be automatically converted into common shares in the capital of
Jushi Acquisition Corp. ("Jushi Acquisition Shares") upon (a) the completion or satisfaction of
all conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction set forth in the agreement dated
November 5, 2018 between the Company and Jushi (the "Agreement") shall have occurred or
been waived, other than the filing of the articles of amalgamation, and (b) the receipt of all
required shareholder, third party (as applicable) and regulatory approvals in connection with the
Proposed Transaction, including for the listing of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the NEO
(the "Escrow Release Conditions"). The proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts
(the "Escrowed Proceeds") will be deposited in escrow until the Escrow Release Conditions
have been satisfied. Upon the successful completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Jushi
Acquisition Shares, including those issued pursuant to conversion of the Subscription Receipts,
will be exchanged for one Subordinate Voting Share of the Resulting Issuer. Should the

conditions not be satisfied, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and all proceeds from the
sale of Subscription Receipts will be returned to subscribers.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about May 21, 2019 (the " Closing Date") and
is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals
of the securities regulatory authorities. Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Agents have
been granted an option to arrange for the sale of up to an additional 15% of the Subscription
Receipts, which option is exercisable by the Agents at any time prior to the Closing Date.
In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company will be required to, among other
things: (i) change its name to "Jushi Holdings Inc." or a name requested by Jushi and
acceptable to the applicable regulatory authorities; (ii) consolidate its outstanding Tanzania
Shares on a basis to be determined; (iii) replace all directors and officers of the Company on
closing of the Proposed Transaction with nominees of Jushi; and (iv) create new classes of
multiple voting shares and super voting shares.
Jushi will pay cash commissions to the Agents equal to up to 6.0% of the aggregate gross
proceeds of the Offering. The Agents will also receive Agents' warrants exercisable for a period
of 24 months from the date the escrow release conditions are satisfied to acquire that number of
Units which is equal to 6.0% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering, at
an exercise price equal to the Issue Price.
The Subscription Receipts will be offered pursuant to prospectus exemptions in all the provinces
of Canada. The proceeds of the Proposed Transaction are intended to be used by the Resulting
Issuer for future acquisitions, general corporate and working capital purposes.
It is expected that a special shareholder meeting of Tanzania to approve all required matters in
connection with the Proposed Transaction will be held on April 29, 2019 and completion of the
Proposed Transaction will take place in the second quarter of 2019.
The common shares of Tanzania will remain halted until all necessary filings have been
accepted by applicable regulatory authorities, delisting from the NEX Board of the TSXV (the
"NEX") and listing on the NEO has been completed.
