Connecting the DotsThere was another company halted with ACB (also "pending news"). It's RTI (https://www.radientinc.com/) who has about a $12million market cap according to TMX.
It looks like RTI is an extraction-based company that has proprietary means of extracting higher quality chemicals using a special type of induced Microwave-based technique.
I also read this in their last financials released in Nov 2016:
"On November 28, 2016, the Company announced its intention to submit its application for a Controlled Drugs and Substances Dealers license in the fast growing Cannabinoids medical market"
My thoughts are (I am not pumping just speculating) - maybe ACB is purchasing RTI for its technology on the basis that ACB already has the license.
Thoughts anyone?
