• Pressure BioSciences has been making a name for itself as a leader in the development and sale of proprietary intense-pressure delivery systems to the worldwide life sciences field
• PBIO is developing a novel high pressure platform called Ultra-Shear Technology (“UST”) that processes oil-based solutions into water-soluble nanoemulsions that will allow the molecules inside the oil (e.g., CBD, Vitamins) to be more readily absorbed by human biology
• Development of th proprietary new instrument – the BaroShear K45-has been proceeding well since the Company received orders for all of its planned initial build of 12 units
• Pressure BioSciences reported achieving a critical milestone in the production of the BaroDShear K45 units on Oct. 6 with the lock-in of final design specifications for the commercial model and commencement of building the initial “Alpha” model
• The Company states that once the Alpha model is built, tested and approved, an additional 14 ready-for-sale systems will be built (12 for sale) in time to fulfill plans for shipping the contracted BaroShear K45 Nanoemulsification Systems during early 2021
• The sale of the first dozen BaroShear K45 units is expected to generate up to $3 million for Pressure BioSciences’ revenue stream in just the first half of 2021
• Pressure BioSciences expects that the installation of the initial 12 commercial units will propel the sale of significantly more BaroShear K45 units during the second half of 2021 and thereafter

Life sciences technology innovator Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO) has achieved another milestone as it nears the initial production of commercial pressure-inducing technology systems expected to revolutionize a wide variety of industries through the nanoemulsification process.

Pressure BioSciences’ proprietary, next-generation Ultra Shear Technology-based BaroShear K45 System is designed to create unique, high-quality nanoemulsions of otherwise poorly soluble oils so that they become more easily absorbed and effective in the water-based biology of human bodies.

During the weeks before news about the novel COVID-19 virus’ global spread to pandemic levels seized the reins of media coverage, Pressure BioSciences announced it was launching its UST Demonstration Laboratory as a place to showcase the technology’s potential to process cannabidiol (“CBD”) oil into true, high-quality, water-soluble nanoemulsions (https://ibn.fm/uFDuU). Several months later, PBIO announced it had reached sold-out status for its initial rollout of 12 planned BaroShear K45 systems.

On Oct. 6, the Company announced the lock-in of final design specifications for the BaroShear K45’s commercial production model, which immediately launched work on construction of the initial K45 “Alpha” unit. Once the Alpha unit is built, tested and approved, the Company will build an additional 14 units, 12 of which are earmarked as ready-for-sale systems in time for the Company to fulfill plans for shipping them during early 2021 (https://ibn.fm/x783G).

“Our commercialization plan for the BaroShear K45 system is initially focused on the rapidly growing hemp-derived CBD market, which is projected to reach $20 billion by 2020,” Director of Marketing and Sales Kenneth F. Micciche stated in the announcement. “We plan to install these (12 BaroShear K45 nanoemulsification) systems during the first half of 2021, which we believe will generate up to $3 million in revenue. Once these initial units are installed and in commercial use, we believe they will propel the close of multiple sales of additional BaroShear K45 systems during the latter half of 2021 and thereafter.”

The Company signed a binding letter of intent to merge with Cannaworx, Inc. (USA) and its portfolio of products and IP in April, which is expected to close shortly (https://ibn.fm/iqrRn). This merger is also expected to bring two additional companies into the new company, which will be known as Availa Bio. These companies are cosmetics industry SkinScience Labs, Inc. (owner of Dr. Denese Skin Care Products, a QVC regular) and cannabis industry Five Leaf Labs, as these additional firms are expected to be signed by Cannaworx under its brand stable once the negotiations are complete.

The UST platform not only processes oils into nanoemulsions that make the oil-based solutions more readily soluble in water, it promotes extended shelf life and/or room temperature stability for low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies. It is also expected to improve the fine silky appearance and texture of cosmetic industry products.

Patents have been issued on UST technology in China; PBIO believes that patents should begin to be issued in the United States and in many other parts of the world soon.

Sustainable Green Team (OTC: SGTM), a leading provider of environmentally beneficial solutions for tree and storm waste disposal, has recently updated the market on the significant progress achieved by its subsidiaries, as both National Storm Recovery LLC and Mulch Manufacturing Inc. announced new partnership agreements.

National Storm Recovery LLC announced that it had formed a strategic alliance with Tree Leads Today to expand their national partnerships in a bid to obtain contracts currently outside of their geographic sphere of activity (https://ibn.fm/sCGQo). The strategic alliance was formed when National Storm Recovery deployed its teams to assess damages from Hurricane Laura, with Tree Leads Today helping the Company partner with ArborPro of Mississippi Inc. on a recovery contract awarded for recovery work carried out in the city of Sulphur, Louisiana.

Tree Leads Today is a privately held company with a nationwide footprint. The company is focused on providing tree companies with leads on tree care projects and services. The process of generating leads is done strategically so that leads are as close to one another as possible in order to maximize productivity for TLT’s tree care partners when they are giving estimates and completing contracted jobs.

“We are honored to be partnering with such an innovative and environmentally conscious organization as Sustainable Green Team,” commented Tree Leads Today CEO Don Dowd. “Tree Leads Today believes in a pay-for-performance model. We believe in our offerings so much that we take all of the risks and only expect you to pay if we deliver.”

“This strategic alliance will amplify our national partnerships and, most importantly, increase recovery contracts far beyond our reach through our Central Florida Arbor Care subsidiary,” said SGTM CEO and director Tony Raynor. “Our new strategic alliance with Tree Leads Today removes all of our limits, opening many new opportunities for our brand, team and shareholders.”

Simultaneously, SGTM has also announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mulch Manufacturing Inc. (“MMI”) has been awarded a 2021 mulch packaging contract renewal from Menards Inc.

Menards operates the third-largest home improvement chain in the U.S., managing 350 stores spread across 15 states. Mulch Manufacturing Inc. has been supplying Menards with mulch products dating back to 2010, with the current contract renewal dictating that Menards would increase the number of its stores carrying MMI’s mulch products by 25% over the course of the next calendar year.

SGTM’s CEO and Director Tony Raynor commented in relation to the news, “Menards mulch packaging contract renewal brings me great pride on team and the direction we’re headed. I’m a firm believer that you’re only as strong as your team, and SGTM’s achievements and trajectory validates it.”

• This is the company’s first line of premium products to be introduced into the market, and will be primarily distributed in countries with the highest demand for functional and medicinal mushroom superfood products – the U.S., Canada, and Japan
• The company is working with select retailers for an imminent strategic launch date.
• The company is set to launch a premium and user-friendly shopping experience through it’s e-commerce website
• The functional mushroom industry’s current demand is forecasted to $34 billion by 2024, with a global market expected to reach $50 billion by 2025
• The market has no clear brand leader at the moment, but Rritual is intent to capitalize on its innovative product line to take this position
• Company’s current marketing plan can help achieve this goal by simplifying operations and promoting business growth with a reduced time to market

Rritual Mushrooms is emerging as a premium, leading brand in the functional food and mushroom market following the launch of its innovative suite of premium functional mushroom and adaptogenic elixirs this fall. “The health and wellness benefits of mushrooms and plant-based therapies are backed by decades of scientific research. Rritual’s new line of elixirs embraces that research and provides consumers with an easy way to get a daily dose of the powerful effects,” said Dr. Mike Hart, President of Rritual, who also oversaw the development of the new line of products (https://ibn.fm/hze7A).

The premium suite of products consists of three different formulas made from the company’s proprietary blend of adaptogenic herbs and organic mushrooms: Reishi Relax, Chaga Immune, and Lion’s Mane Focus.

Developed for stress support, balancing mood, and facilitating restful sleep, the Reishi Relax blend is infused with cacao, ashwagandha root, and cinnamon to provide optimal wellness. Chaga Immune, also featuring Atragulus and the proprietary immune blend created by Rritual, works to enhance immune health and strengthen the body’s stress defenses. Lion’s Mane Focus was developed for cognitive health and enhanced memory and creativity, offering a mental boost as a result of its composition that includes Rhodiola root and Ayurvedic herbs like Bacopa.

Upon release, these premium products will be available through the Rritual website and the Rritual Amazon store. Each elixir will come in a 14 stick pack or 250-gram tub. A combo pack will also be available featuring all three elixir sticks in a 14 count pack.

Rritual’s premium products are the first premium brands to hit the functional mushroom market, a fast-growing sector where demand is growing and is forecasted to rise to $34 billion by 2024. As of right now, there is no clear leader in the industry, but Rritual may take this position with the release of its new products. Globally the market for functional mushrooms is expected to reach $50 billion by 2025. The current marketing structure of Rritual shows the plan to deliver its products to the United States, Canada, and Japan, countries with the highest demand for functional and medicinal mushroom superfood products.

Since its launch in 2019, Rritual’s sole purpose has been to help every person meet the demands within their life with style and ease through mushroom adaptogens. All products are plant-based and vegan, without the use of artificial sweeteners or fillers. Each product produced by Rritual is made with the principle of creating a product with limited, yet purposeful organic ingredients.

Rritual is currently working on two different marketing strategies – e-commerce and brick and mortar. Each of these strategies will be completed in two phases. The fall release is stage one of the e-commerce strategy currently underway. The second stage of the e-commerce strategy is to use team connections to create a direct-to-consumer experience using mediums such as Costco, CVS Pharmacy, Walmart, and Vitacost.

In stage one, the brick and mortar strategy will see the launch of the premium products in four non-competing store chains that have a shared best practice agreement. The stage two plan expands upon the first, but expansion will include 11 more retailers selling the product in a set number of their stores.

The “low hanging fruit” strategy and turnkey, global services market, will significantly lower the time it will take for Rritual’s products to find their way into a leading position within the industry. These strategies also simplify operations and support the company’s scaling efforts, helping it enhance its visibility on a market waiting for a leader.

• SGMD signs agreement to lease five acres of land in Northern California
• Company preparing required documentation to apply for approval for construction of greenhouses, processing building
• Sugarmade to market cannabis as both white-label and branded cannabis products; also likely be distributed through BudCars Cannabis Delivery Service

Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD), a product and branding marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential, has signed an agreement to lease five acres of land in Northern California (https://ibn.fm/Sd9Kk). SGMD intends to use the property, which is zoned for cannabis cultivation, to establish and operate a licensed cannabis production business capable of producing as much as 3.6 million grams of high-quality cannabis flower per year.

“We believe we have all of the strategic pieces in place to capitalize on cultivation, with the market currently chronically undersupplied,” said Sugarmade chairman of the board, CEO and CFO Jimmy Chan. “We also have relationships in place, especially through our BudCars investment, to hit the ground running on the branded products side, driving strong margins up and down the chain.”

Sugarmade is leasing the land from LMK Capital LLC and is in the process of obtaining cannabis cultivation licensing for the property. In addition, SGMD is preparing archaeological and biological surveys and assembling architectural and engineering plans, the initial steps necessary for construction of greenhouses and a processing building. The company is working closely with county officials as it follows the outlined processes and prepares to submit appropriate documentation and applications for approval.

The company plans to market the cannabis harvested from the farmland in a variety of ways, including as both white-label and branded cannabis products. Some of the cannabis will also likely be distributed through BudCars Cannabis Delivery Service (BudCars), a rapidly growing California cannabis delivery company, in which Sugarmade owns a 40% stake with the option to acquire an additional 30%.

“We continue to take strategic steps toward broadening our exposure to the growth trend in the cannabis market,” Chan commented (https://ibn.fm/qrgOT). “We see this as a secular growth trend that is still very much in its early innings. And we believe our positioning in California puts us close to the current epicenter of that trend. In addition, we are committed to increasing verticalization of operations as a context for our investment in the BudCars cannabis delivery business. If we are able to finalize the lease, we expect that this could drive a substantial widening of margins on the growing volume of BudCars sales.”

BudCars is a retail business that offers same-day delivery of top-quality cannabis. Customers choose from a variety of products including edibles, flower, pre-rolls, vapes, tinctures and concentrate across dozens of premium brands. Once consumers complete their purchases online, they receive their order the same day via BudCars Cannabis Delivery Service.

Sugarmade Inc. is a product and branding marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential. In addition to its financial interest in the BudCars brand, SGMD’s brand portfolio includes CarryOutsupplies.com and SugarRush(TM).

• Citi experts predict gold could reach $2,100 an ounce this quarter, $2,300 in the next 6 to 12 months
• Precious metal’s consistent performance has resulted in investors looking to reduce risks, maintain purchasing power by buying more gold
• GOH recently entered into agreements to acquire seven advanced gold projects in the Maricunga Gold Belt of Chile

In a detailed explanation of why gold will likely continue its upward trend for at least the foreseeable future, Citi economists conclude that “you would expect gold to perform extremely well” (https://ibn.fm/ZY4Q2). That upward trajectory stands to benefit a wide variety of companies operating in the gold industry, including GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: ATUMF), a Canada-based company engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral resource properties.

A recent CNBC article, titled “Citi Economists Explain Why Gold Surged Above $2,000, and What It Could Tell Us,” stated that the “spot gold price, which currently stands around $2,058 an ounce, has risen over 4% this week and is set for its ninth week of gains in a row, it’s longest consecutive weekly increase since 2006.” The article goes on to quote Citi experts who said they believed the metal could reach $2,100 an ounce this quarter, and $2,300 in the next 6 to 12 months, with “risks skewed to the upside.”

A core reason behind the precious metal’s steady rise upward, the economists explained, was the “central banks’ monetary easing, which had resulted in negative real yields. This is when the return investors get on bonds is equal to or below the rate of inflation. This has reduced the ‘opportunity cost of holding a zero-coupon asset such as gold.’”

The consistent performance of gold has resulted in investors looking to reduce their risks and maintain the purchasing power of their assets by buying more gold, reported “Forbes” in an article titled “Gold Prices To Surge As Investors To Spend Another $2-3 Trillion, Report Says” (https://ibn.fm/dReCH). Quoting a report by Sprott, a Toronto-based precious metals asset manager, the article noted that “most investors know that gold is a good diversifier of overall risk when held in a portfolio of other assets. Also, over long periods, bullion is said to keep its value in inflation-adjusted terms. Investors are poised to pump an additional $2-3 trillion into the gold market in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis, experts say.”

That is good news for GoldHaven Resources, which recently entered into agreements to acquire seven advanced gold projects in the Maricunga Gold Belt of Chile that hosts over 100 million ounces of gold within the last 10 years. These projects total more than 25,000 hectares (approximately 100 square miles) and include four projects that have been categorized as high priority: the Rio Loa project, the Coya project, the Alicia project and the Roma project. The company has plans to phase in a drilling program commencing in early 2021.

GoldHaven is a Canadian junior exploration company active in the Maricunga Gold Belt of Northern Chile. The Maricunga measures 150 km north-south and 30 km. east-west and is host to discoveries in the last 10 years of 100M oz. gold; 450M oz. silver and 13 billion lbs. copper.

• SRAX will pay gross consideration of 1.6 million new SRAX shares along with four $1 million installments
• Following acquisition, LD Micro will be wholly-owned subsidiary of SRAX and will continue to employ Christopher Lahiji, its founder, as president
• Christopher Lahiji has also been named to SRAX Board of Directors

SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a financial technology company focused on unlocking data and insights for publicly traded companies through Sequire, its SaaS platform, announced that it had recently closed the acquisition of LD Micro, a leading data and event company serving the small and micro-cap space (https://ibn.fm/qBBEN). SRAX will pay a total consideration of 1.6 million new Class A SRAX common shares to LD Micro’s shareholders, which will be subject to a 36-month lock-up in addition to four quarterly installments of $1 million, with the first payment made upon the closing of the acquisition.

LD Micro was founded in 2006 with the purpose of providing investors with an independent resource into the listed micro-cap space. What started out as a newsletter highlighting unique companies eventually transformed into several influential events, which have firmly entrenched themselves as must-attend occasions for members of the listed micro-cap universe and institutional investors alike. Separately, LD Micro also launched ldmicro.com, a portal providing exclusive intraday information on the entire sector, including the first pure micro-cap index (LDMi) which covers stocks in North America boasting market capitalizations between $50 million to $300 million.

In early September, LD Micro held its flagship Main Event conference, which attracted over 1,500 delegates and hosted close to 300 innovative companies derived from a variety of sectors, including technology, biotech, pharmaceuticals, and alternative energy among various others. In illustration of the considerable breadth of the company’s flagship conference, the event featured a number of keynote addresses focused around noteworthy updates within the IPO market for North American microcaps.  Discussions centered around the evolution of cryptocurrency as well updates from the Securities & Exchange Commission on recent regulatory developments within the listed microcap equity universe.

Following the acquisition, LD Micro will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SRAX and will continue to employ Christopher Lahiji, its founder, as president. Mr. Lahiji has also been appointed to the board of directors of SRAX.

A more comprehensive description of the terms and conditions of the transaction is disclosed, and copies of the transaction documents are filed, in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 11, 2020, which is available on the Company’s website and at www.SEC.gov.

• Transformation Capital features SHRG as top performer in the TDSI direct-selling index
• SHRG achieved a staggering 1,070% growth rate compared to levels at end of February
• Industry as a whole has been outperforming market, with positive outlook for full year

Sharing Services Global (OTCQB: SHRG), a diversified holding company specializing in the health and wellness direct-selling industry, was featured in a recent industry report published by investment banking and business development firm Transformation Capital (https://ibn.fm/kwVLW); the report listed SHRG as one of the fastest-growing small-cap companies in the space.

The report looks at the TDSI, or a market capitalization-weighted index of all U.S. publicly traded, direct-selling companies with valuations of more than $25 million. The index started tracking data beginning March 1, 2020, and now stands 56% above the initial end-of-February level, significantly outperforming the DJIA and S&P 500, which gained only 7% during the same period, demonstrating that the industry as a whole is growing much faster than general economy.

The investment bank and business development firm highlights Sharing Services Global as the top performer among all stocks in the index’s tracking set. In fact, SHRG has continued its impressive growth with a gain of 27% during August only, which means that for September, SHRG’s stock price stood at a massive 1,070% above its levels at the end of February.

Transformation Capital estimates that the industry will continue to perform in 2020, leveraging the momentum built since the beginning of the year to drive the industry towards a possible new record-breaking year. “From a broad perspective, we believe that the direct-selling industry, as a whole, is experiencing a renaissance within the domestic market,” said Transformation Capital CEO. “Domestic direct-selling revenues have been flat to slightly down since reaching an all-time high of more than $36 billion in 2016. It is our belief that 2020 sales will reach, and likely exceed, that record figure.”

The investment banking and business development firm see several bullish factors driving robust performances in the direct-selling industry, including the decline in short interest in industry stocks demonstrating that investors are becoming reluctant to take positions against them. As a result, the sentiment of the analysts covering this space is shifting, with a staggering 97% of them having “buy” or “hold” ratings on the stocks from the direct-selling space. Operating in a rapidly growing industry, SHRG offers compelling growth potential supported by its robust business model and strong fundamentals.

The Sharing Services combined platform currently leverages the capabilities and expertise of various companies that market and sell products direct to the consumer through independent contractors. Two of its primary divisions include Elevacity Holdings LLC., the parent of its wholly owned subsidiary, Elevacity U.S. LLC, a health and wellness products company, and Elepreneurs Holdings LLC., the parent of its wholly owned subsidiary, Elepreneurs U.S. LLC, a sales and marketing company based on utilization of independent contractor distributors who sell the Elevacity product line.

• Kaival Brands’ flagship product, vaping device Bidi(TM) Stick, has rapidly taken dominant position in e-cigarette market
• E-cigarette segment set to grow to market size of $59.3 billion by 2027, CAGR of 19.6% over next seven years
• The Bidi(TM) Stick now available across thousands of retailers in United States, as far afield as Guam
• Kaival Brands recently reported blowout earnings, with quarterly sales surpassing $32 million

Kaival Brands Innovations Group (OTCQB: KAVL), which focuses on growing and incubating innovative and profitable products into mature, dominant brands, is the sole distributor of the Bidi(TM) Stick, an innovative completely-contained disposable nicotine vaping device designed to provide adult smokers with a premium vaping experience. The Bidi(TM) Stick has rapidly taken on a dominant position within the global e-cigarette market – a segment which is projected to grow to a market size of $59.3 billion by 2027, representing a CAGR of 19.6% over the next seven years. With consumers increasingly opting to switch to e-cigarettes amid growing awareness of the advantages of consuming smokeless and ashless nicotine products, brands such as Kaival Brands are well-positioned to make their presence felt in a space where innovation and compliance are essential determinants of success (https://ibn.fm/d8kEm).

Kaival Brands has established a budding reputation for growing and incubating innovative products and developing them into dominating in their respective markets– an approach which the company is now bringing to the rapidly growing vaping sector. As the exclusive distributor of the Bidi Stick, Kaival has sought to create a national distribution network, with the company’s products now stocked across thousands of retail and convenience store locations across the country.

“We are proud to announce that Bidi Sticks can now be found nationally in over 850 retail stores, like Fas Mart and Sprint Mart, owned by GPM Investments LLC in addition to over 2,200 current Circle K convenience stores, and we expect in the coming months for our distribution to expand potentially into thousands more retailers and convenience chains,” said Kaival president and CEO Niraj Patel (https://ibn.fm/Ppj4Z). “Bidi Sticks can also be purchased online for in-person delivery from any goPuff.com facility that has the ability to sell Bidi Sticks legally with proper age-verification gates within that state or municipality.”

Kaival Brands’ ambition is not limited to the United States, having recently begun exports of the Bidi Stick to foreign retailers.

“Internationally, we also recently shipped an initial order valued at approximately $166,000 to Ambros Inc., a company located in Guam that is the exclusive distributor of SC Johnson and Budweiser products to all retailers located in Guam,” Patel continued. “The Bidi(TM) Stick will be the only vaping device offered by Ambros Inc. to their customers and retailers.”

The impressive distribution network for the Bidi(TM) Stick coupled with the product’s innovative design and technological prowess have translated into strong financial results, with Kaival Brands Innovations Group recently releasing its third quarter earnings. Sales for the quarter ending July 31, 2020 totaled approximately $32.4 million, with gross profits of $4.4 million over the three-month period –with the figures being particularly noteworthy given that the company began to generate revenues less than twelve months ago. The company’s management attributed most of the gain to the Bidi Stick’s explosive sales growth.

“We had an extremely busy and fruitful third fiscal quarter,” said Patel. “We experienced a rising demand for our exclusively distributed premium product, the Bidi Stick. We have seen an increase in sales of almost 44% from the previous quarter, with our sales growth occurring mostly organically through smaller distribution channels and wholesalers. Now in the fourth fiscal quarter, we are focused on expanding our distribution into large national retailers and convenience chains.”

With the vaping industry set to enjoy a double-digit growth for the foreseeable future, Kaival Brands is well-positioned to continue benefitting from the growing popularity of its flagship product, the Bidi Stick.

• PACR has strategic licensing agreement with Phenome One, which owns Canada’s largest live genetic cannabis library
• The company’s optimized farming system distinguishes it from other cannabis operations
• Pac Roots Cannabis Corp.’s commitment to superior genetics involves careful selection of cultivation sites

With its slogan proclaiming “the Future of Genetics,” Canadian cannabis company Pac Roots Cannabis (CSE: PACR) clearly places a top priority on producing premium-quality cannabis strains and products. In fact, while some companies may strive to be the largest cannabis grower, Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. maintains that the quality of the product is paramount.

Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. achieves its goal of producing the highest-quality cannabis by relying on superior genetics, following optimized farming systems and growing in carefully selected cultivation sites. The company’s commitment to superior genetics is represented by its strategic licensing agreement with Phenome One, which owns one of Canada’s largest live genetic cannabis libraries. That library includes more than 350 cultivars that have been lab tested and rigorously field-tested over 30 years (https://pacroots.ca/genetics/).

The company’s optimized farming system also distinguishes it from other cannabis operations. These remarkable farming systems are essential in the company’s unerring quest for a quality product. Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. works closely with its selected partners to optimize cultivation through unique, proprietary methods, including the following essential aspects (https://ibn.fm/5ryoU):

• Custom-formulated nutrients
• Systematic planting of young, hardy cultivars, which provides maximum growth and resilience
• Careful weed control achieved through row compaction and mowing
• Complex irrigation systems that deliver nutrients and spring water directly to each plant site

Finally, the third essential piece of Pac Roots Cannabis Corp.’s commitment to superior genetics involves its careful selection of cultivation sites located in some of the best outdoor growing climates in Canada, including the South Okanagan Valley and the Fraser Valley Regional District.

The company’s Rock Creek Farms site, a 100-acre, premium-hemp joint venture, is nestled in the South Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, an area that has been called both the Golden Mile and the Napa Valley of the North. The company has also announced the closing of a share purchase agreement for 250 pristine acres in the Fraser Valley Regional District (“FVRD”) of British Columbia, one of the most productive and actively farmed areas in Canada (https://ibn.fm/j5u8R). This lush area features high-quality soil, a favorable climate, and an ample water supply.

“The addition of such a substantial package of land to our portfolio is a major step for PacRoots,” said PACR President and CEO Patrick Elliot. “We are pleased to have the opportunity to add significant acreage with an acquisitional cost base of $9,600 per acre. This land has no zoning restrictions and is not situated within the Agricultural land reserve, which provides for infinite development possibilities.”

Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. began operations in 2012 with initial activities directed toward exploration and development of mineral properties in Canada. The company’s mission has evolved through time, and today, Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. is focused on cannabis and hemp cultivation, leveraging high-end genetics and specialized cultivars to produce top-quality products. Preserving the excellence of its elite strains while introducing the highest quality of new strains to the public is the company’s passion. Genetic variation and stability is the foundation that drives the decision-making for Pac Roots Cannabis Corp.’s business.
