Substantial Expansion in Cannabis Operations and Grow Facilities in North America Leading to Increased Production and Revenues

PALM BEACH, Florida, June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

In today's legal marijuana developments around the burgeoning cannabis sector across North America, industry leaders are ramping up production levels and racing to introduce the newest and higher quality products and services. The acquisition and development of commercial space for expanded grow facilities alone is continuing to drive potential revenues to new heights. Cannabis companies in the news and market activity to watch today include: MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (OTC: MYMMF) (CSE: MYM.CN), Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTC: CNBX), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX-V: ACB.V) (OTC: ACBFF), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED.TO) (OTC: TWMJF) and InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: IN.CN) (OTC: IMLFF).

MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: MYMMF) (CSE: MYM.CN) is extremely pleased to announce that it has signed an exclusive deal with the Municipality of Weedon, Québec ('Weedon') to build a 1.5 million-square-foot cannabis production facility consisting of fifteen 100,000-square-foot greenhouses. Once the entire project is completed and licensed, it would be one of the largest grow operations in the world, with the potential to produce over 150,000 kilograms of cannabis per year or $750,000,000 annually. This is a first of its kind partnership where a municipality has partnered with a cannabis company to build a major production facility. The agreement is unique as Weedon will purchase the 329 acres of land for MYM to build the project on.

The Weedon agreement was signed by a subsidiary of MYM, CannaCanada Inc., a Montréal-based cannabis company that MYM purchased 75% of. By the completion of the project, MYM will own 90% of CannaCanada Inc. CannaCanada's strong ties with Weedon city officials allowed MYM to also obtain full exclusivity regarding the future development of any cannabis or hemp-growing facilities within the municipality. The municipality of Weedon, which is approximately two hours east of Montréal, is actively involved in the project. Weedon has already identified the land on which the facility will be built and has signed an option to purchase it. Subject to certain requirements, Weedon will exercise that option and then donate the land to the project. 

MYM anticipates that the project will advance quickly as Weedon's planning department has already approved the preliminary construction designs for the initial portion of the facility. Detailed plans for the first 100,000-sq-ft greenhouse and a 20,000-sq-ft warehouse are now being drawn up by the MYM's architects, Latimer Hu. MYM has engaged Factotum Consultants, who have successfully obtained two Licensed Producer licenses for other clients, to manage the ACMPR application process and expects to submit its application to Health Canada this Friday.
