James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation Receives Approval From Health Canada to Double Production Capacity at JWC2
October 15 2019 - 6:00AM
James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation (“
JWC” or
the “
Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE: JWCA; OTCQX:
JWCAF), is pleased to announce that on October 11, 2019, it
received an additional licence amendment from Health Canada
approving the production of cannabis in four new flowering rooms at
its flagship facility located at 530 Manitou Drive in Kitchener,
Ontario (“
JWC2”).
Once fully operational, the new flowering rooms will double the
current licensed production capacity of JWC2 from 22,000 square
feet, to approximately 44,500 square feet. JWC has designated the
additional spaces as “E pod” and “H pod”. Each pod consists of two
flowering rooms, with each room containing approximately 5,500
square feet of cultivation space. It is anticipated that each new
pod will yield approximately 2,000 kg of dried cannabis on an
annualized basis from the time cultivation activities commence.
“This approval represents an important milestone for JWC, as the
Corporation continues to scale toward full production capacity,”
said Nathan Woodworth, President and CEO of JWC. “We have initiated
the process of populating the four newly licenced flowering rooms
as quickly as possible. Given the additional capacity, we continue
to expect revenue growth to accelerate over the next several
quarters with only modest increases in expenses, leading to higher
margins and greater profitability.”
The additional flowering rooms are part of an ongoing program to
expand the Corporation’s production capacity at JWC2. At
full-scale, the JWC2 facility will measure 345,000 square feet and
is expected to be fully equipped with JWC’s proprietary
GrowthSTORM™ Dual Droplet™ System. This licence amendment comes
just 106 days after Health Canada granted the Corporation an
earlier approval on June 27, 2019, to increase its operational
footprint at JWC2 from 11,000 square feet to 22,000 square
feet.
