Dominion Water Reserves Corp.
(“

(CSE:DWR), is pleased to announce that further to its August 18,
2020 news release, it has entered into a definitive share purchase
agreement (“
Agreement”) dated October 26, 2020
with Aquanor Inc. (“

DWR will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities

thereby owning a 100% interest in the St-Joseph de Coleraine
water source (the “
Acquisition”).
The aggregate consideration payable by DWR in
connection with the Acquisition is $650,000, which is comprised of
the following: (i) a $150,000 deposit, which has been paid by DWR
concurrently with the signature of the Agreement; (ii) the issuance
of an aggregate of 714,286 common shares in the capital of DWR, at
a deemed price of $0.35 per share (the agreed upon price at the

representing a value of $250,000, to Aquanor at the closing of the

the closing of the Acquisition; and (iv) the payment of the sum of
$100,000 to Aquanor on March 1, 2021.
The closing of the Acquisition is subject to,
among other things, the receipt of regulatory approvals, the final
transfer of the interests comprising the St-Joseph
de Coleraine water source, and the entering into of a
definitive 25-year water sale contract with Aquanor upon the terms
and conditions previously disclosed, namely to sell the specialised
water, reflecting $0.005 per liter for the first 5 years, $0.01 per
liter for the following 5 years; $0.015 per liter for the
subsequent 5 years $0.02 per liter for the then following 10 years.
After 25 years, the price per liter would be subject to an annual
increase based on the Canadian consumer price index.
With 71 million litres per year of permitted
extraction volume this source located in Saint Joseph de Coleraine
features 13 ppm silicium content, a unique water quality that is
very sought after in the specialty water market. Silica also known
as silica dioxide is a compound from silicon molecules and oxygen,
Silica boasts bone-strengthening qualities: One of the big benefits
of silica is its ability to strengthen your bones. The compound is
essential for controlling the flow of calcium in and out of our
bones, assisting with proper bone maintenance. Both human and
animal models have shown that silica supplementation can directly
improve the integrity of your bones and also reduces their
fragility. Silica improves collagen production: Studies have
shown that silica can help to form the building blocks of collagen,
a protein found in your skin, cartilage, blood, muscles and
ligaments that helps to keep your skin elastic. It also helps to
provide crucial protection and structure to various organs and
joints in your body. Collagen can also help reduce the appearance
of wrinkles while also strengthening your nails and hair
follicles.
Silica has been shown to help your heart and
immune system: Recent research has found that silica can improve
your heart health by reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, also
known as hardening of the arteries, and may prevent Alzheimer’s. It
has also been reported to lower cholesterol levels and control
inflammation in the body according to recent discoveries.
The acquisition and development of this silicium
water source and its commercialization in environmentally friendly
packaging is expected to add value to DWR’s strategic portfolio of
assets and position the company for the health and wellness
marketplace.
The global market for Bottled Water is projected
to reach US$307.6 billion by 2025, driven by the growing need to
slake the thirst of a growing world population. World population is
poised to grow from 7.8 billion in 2019 to over 9.8 billion by
2050. In line with this growth, there will be a parallel increase
in demand for safe drinking water. Per capita consumption of
drinking water in the coming years is poised to increase with
science based evidence highlighting water’s role in health and
wellness. Source:
