BOOYAH Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - July 25, 2019 – HERITAGE CANNABIS HOLDINGS CORP.

The CMA has a two-year term with an option to extend upon agreement by both parties, at an annual potential contract value of $35 million.

Heritage will execute its CMA obligations though its two licensed subsidiaries, CannaCure Corporation (“CannaCure”) in Fort Erie, Ontario, and Voyage Cannabis Corp (“Voyage”) in Falkland, British Columbia. Purefarma Solutions Inc (“Purefarma”), Heritage’s extraction subsidiary, will oversee the extraction operations in these facilities, with first deliveries expected in December 2019.
“Working with the Heritage group of companies gives us the quality and optionality that we are looking for as we introduce our proprietary vape pen formulations.” states Mike Gorenstein, CEO of Cronos Group “We are committed to continuing to the lead the industry responsibly as derivative products are introduced to the expanding Canadian marketplace.”
With the pending introduction of new cannabis regulations in Canada this October, the availability of additional cannabis derivative products and format factors will result in a more diverse and expansive market for Canadian consumers.

It is Heritage’s goal to focus its future expansion on taking advantage of these growth segments.
