MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSXV: LABS) (OTCQX: MEDIF) (FSE: MLZ)
(“MediPharm Labs” or the “Company”), a leader in
specialized, research-driven cannabis extraction and cannabinoid
isolation, is pleased to announce it successfully completed its
first export shipment of medical cannabis concentrate into

subsidiary, MediPharm Labs Inc., the Company has become the first
Canadian extraction-only company to publicly announce that it has
received an export permit from Health Canada for the shipment of
cannabis solid concentrate, under the new regulations, from Canada
to Australia. Prior to the shipment, the Australian Government’s
Office of Drug Control Section also issued an import permit.
“As we look to remain a global leader in
cannabinoid extraction, we are proud to have completed our first
international shipment of MediPharm Labs’ cannabis concentrates to
Australia,” said Pat McCutcheon, Chief Executive Officer, MediPharm
Labs. “We expect to see international demand, including in Europe
and Australia, for MediPharm Labs’ cannabis concentrates continue
to grow as our team has built a strong reputation for producing
high quality, pharmaceutical like concentrates at commercial scale
and proven our ability to ensure a global supply chain. We are
excited to be completing our EU GMP certification which will enable
us to export to Europe and tap into these additional sources of
demand.”
About MediPharm Labs Corp.
Founded in 2015, MediPharm Labs Inc. has the
distinction of being the first company in Canada to become a
licensed producer for cannabis oil production under the ACMPR
without first receiving a cannabis cultivation license. This expert
focus on cannabis concentrates begins in its purpose-built
laboratory designed to incorporate EUGMP (European Good
Manufacturing Practices) workflow and ISO standard-built clean
rooms and critical environments, allowing MediPharm Labs to produce
purified, pharmaceutical-like cannabis oil and concentrates for
advanced derivative products. MediPharm Labs has invested in an
expert, research-driven team, state-of-the-art technology,
downstream extraction methodologies and purpose-built facilities to
deliver pure, safe and precisely-dosed cannabis products to
patients and consumers. MediPharm Labs’ private label program is a
high margin business for the company, whereby it opportunistically
procures dry cannabis flower and trim from its numerous product
supply partners, to produce cannabis oil concentrate products for
resale globally on a private label basis.
