CALGARY, Sept. 28, 2016 /CNW/ - Maple Leaf Green World
(MGW-V) ("Maple Leaf" or the "Company") announces that the first shipment of product from its initial harvest
has commenced. Product shipments will continue for the next few weeks and Maple Leaf expects the selling price will be at the
high end of the price range previously announced (see news release dated August 29, 2016).
The Company's second crop has been flowering for two weeks and the plants are now over six feet in height. It is expected
that harvesting of the second crop will begin in mid-November, with product shipment taking place on or about mid-December.
Once the harvesting and shipping of the first two crops has been completed, the Company will be in a better position to provide
revenue projections for 2017 and beyond.
The seedlings for the Company's third marijuana crop will be cultivated in November, with harvesting expected in March
2017. From 2017 onward, Maple Leaf is targeting six harvests per year.
"This is a landmark achievement for Maple Leaf and is proof that the Company's growing methodology is successful. We are
ready to expand our operations both in California and other American states. We believe we
can capitalize on new opportunities available to us, pending the outcome of the upcoming referenda on the legalization of marijuana
for recreational use in various jurisdictions in the United States." said Raymond Lai, President & C.E.O. of Maple Leaf.
