HOUSTON, June 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Minerco, Inc. (OTC:
MINE) announces an opening, initial purchase order for 2,500 units of CB Squeeze, by the The Herbal Collection™. This
opening order represents approximately half of the upcoming pilot production run of 5,000 – 8,000 units, depending on process
size. The initial placement and purchase order from The HempLife Group, a Midwest based distributor and retailer specializing in
cutting edge hemp based and all natural products, is expected to be available in retailers including Green Remedy, New Earth Hemp
Solutions, Carolina Hemp Company and Hemp Dog Café.
CB Squeeze, packaged in a 1 oz. squeeze pack and enhanced with micellized (encapsulated for slow release) Cannabidiol (CBD)
and natural herbal extracts, is scheduled for its pilot production run in the coming weeks. The higher than expected demand for
CB Squeeze, even before online availability, is expected to require another production run as soon as the pilot production run is
completed and passes quality control standards.
"CB Squeeze was designed for predominantly online sales, so this opening PO from a brick and mortar distributor is a tactical
advantage that we plan to exploit further. The HempLife Group and their retail partners have also requested delivery of CB Shot
and CB Tea as soon as possible. With this opening order, expected follow on orders and a $5.99
target retail price, we expect to ramp up very rapidly after this pilot run," said V. Scott Vanis,
Minerco's Chairman and CEO. "The bio-availability studies are also forth coming on The Herbal Collection's micellization
technology, and preliminary results are a higher bio availability than previously quoted."

About CB Squeeze
CB Squeeze contains the highest quality natural herbs combined with a propriety blend of micellized CBD in a squeeze
pack ideal for the on-the-go consumer. CB Squeeze has 5 milligrams of micellized high grade CBD (the equivalent of over 25
milligrams of non-micellized CBD) sourced from CBD dominant hemp plants from an established "grass roots" supplier.
The proven micellization technology ensures the highest bio availability and absorption rates of the CBD to the consumer. This
state of the art micellization technology combined with the widely accepted health benefits of CBD sourced from hemp, and the
ability to sell CB Squeeze in all 50 states and online, is expected to strategically position Minerco's CB Squeeze within the
category.

About CBD
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound in hemp that has shown to offer beneficial medical effects to the body without the
psychoactive effects associated with Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Scientific and clinical research, much of it sponsored by the US
government, underscores CBD's potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism,
MS, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, antibiotic-resistant infections, epilepsy, paranoia and other neurological
disorders. CBD has demonstrable neuroprotective and neurogenic effects, and its anti-cancer properties are currently being
investigated at several academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere.
About Micellization
Micelles are the atom sized stable aggregates of surfactant molecules, which form spontaneously in surfactant solutions. Put
simply: Micellization is the scientific process of coating a particle in a surfactant solution to yield a higher potency at
delivery.
