CLC Christina Lake Cannabis Corp

Christina Lake Cannabis Corp. (the “Company” or “CLC” or “Christina Lake Cannabis”) is pleased to announce that its common shares will begin trading today on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) at 9:30 am EDT on Thursday, October 1, 2020 under the ticker symbol “CLC”. Christina Lake Cannabis is a premier producer of high-quality, low-cost, sun-grown cannabis flower, oil cannabinoids, as well as hemp-based extracts and derivatives, serving domestic and international markets. CLC is presently in the process of harvesting a crop of more than 22,500 plants of eight unique cannabis strains on its 32-acre site in the Christina Lake region of British Columbia. The expected yield of this harvest is at least 22,500 kg/49,500 lb.

After acquiring its 32-acre property in October 2018, CLC has reached several key milestones in its pursuit of becoming one of the largest Canadian firms for outdoor cannabis cultivation and extraction. Accomplishments to date include the following:

• Finalization of a standard cultivation license and corresponding processing/sales amendment from Health Canada (March 2020 and August 2020, respectively) as well as a research and development license (early 2020).
• Buildout of CLC’s world-class facility including propagation and drying rooms, extraction centre, safe storage, and offices.
• Developed robust genetic strains and 600,000+ seeds in the seed bank.
• Team expansion to more than 30 full-time staff members and seasonal workers, making CLC the largest employer in the Christina Lake, BC region.
• Completion of successive investment rounds, raising a total of approximately CAD $16,000,000, providing CLC the ability to maintain a reserve of funds for ongoing operations.

I express my utmost gratitude to the founders and team members whose efforts brought CLC to where it is today. CLC now has a truly remarkable facility with the capacity to grow high-quality and high-potency cannabis in Christina Lake's renowned climate for cannabis cultivation, with impressively efficient infrastructure and workflows that allow us to produce at a very low cost.
