GrowMax Resources Corp. Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Oct. 25, 2016) - GrowMax Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GRO) ("GrowMax" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") has accepted the notice filed by the Company of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSXV.

Pursuant to the notice accepted by the TSXV, the Company may, during the period commencing October 24, 2016 and ending October 23, 2017, purchase for cancellation, through the facilities of the TSXV and at the market price of the Company's common shares ("Common Shares") at the time of purchase, up to 10,976,282 Common Shares, representing approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares. The member who will conduct the normal course issuer bid on behalf of the Company is Mackie Research Capital Corporation. The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Company, and will be made in accordance with the requirements of the TSXV.

Management of the Company believes that the present trading price of the Common Shares of the Company is at a significant discount to a figure which is reflective of the Company's value as a whole. This being the case, management is of the view that it is in the best interests of all shareholders of the Company that, from time to time, Common Shares be acquired by the Company and returned to treasury, thus increasing the Company's net asset value per Common Share for remaining shareholders.
