This news release is being issued pursuant to National Instrument 62-103, which also requires that Strategic file the Early Warning Report with each of the British Columbia and Alberta Securities Commissions containing information with respect to its security holdings in GGL.

Strategic also announces that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has experienced delays associated with the limited availability of its internal accountants in connection with the preparation of its interim financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD &A") for the period ended March 31, 2020. In response to similar issues experienced by other businesses, the Canadian Securities Administrators have granted blanket relief for all market participants, providing up to a 45-day extension for periodic filings normally required to be made on or before May 30, 2020.

In accordance with the blanket relief, Strategic will delay the filing of its interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2020, the MD & A for the corresponding period and related management certifications of interim filings.

Until such time as the filings are made, Strategic's management and other insiders are subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principles contained in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 - Failure to File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

Other than as disclosed in Stratetgic's press releases, there have not been any material business developments since the date on which it filed its annual financial statements and related MD & A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
