CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2024) - Wellfield Technologies Inc. (TSXV: WFLD) ("Wellfield" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has approved the resumption of trading, effective at market opening on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.

With trading resumed, the Company will continue advancing its effort to spin-off of its wholly owned subsidiary, Tradewind Markets Inc. ("Tradewind") (the "Spin-off"), as previously announced on September 6, 2024.

The Spin-off marks a key milestone in Wellfield's July 16^th announced strategy to establish Tradewind as an independent entity focused on revolutionizing the gold market. Wellfield believes that a successful spin-off will increase shareholder value by allowing capital markets to ascribe value, and provide additional capital, to Tradewind independently of Wellfield's core business, providing an opportunity for Tradewind to be funded and developed on its own with independent management and governance. Stakeholders are actively undertaking to establish a management team and board of directors, which will be disclosed in a subsequent news release.

Levy Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Wellfield, commented, "A successful spin-off of Tradewind will support Wellfield as we pursue multiple strategic objectives. It will position Wellfield to hold $20M worth of Tradewind stock, opening exciting possibilities for how we might leverage this value-whether to strengthen our balance sheet, fuel future growth, or deliver direct benefits to our shareholders. Additionally, this transaction allows Wellfield to re-focus exclusively on the biggest opportunities within crypto and decentralized finance. We see immense untapped potential within our Coinmama brand and proprietary blockchain technology and look forward to sharing more details on these efforts soon."
