About IC Potash
IC Potash intends to develop a diversified portfolio of investments and interests with an initial focus on organic
fertilizers and resource assets. IC Potash will have two subsidiaries; ICP Organics, a subsidiary focused on research and
development and investment in the fertilizer and cannabis sectors, and a second to be formed in 2018 to further accommodate the new
ventures being investigated. ICP Organics will be focused on the development of various fertilizers which are USDA Certified
Organic and will have a multidisciplinary mandate through engineering and health sciences viewpoints. ICP Organics will conduct
research on the impact of organic fertilizers on the yield and medicinal properties of cannabis to develop products that can be
sold to cannabis growers. Research and development and manufacturing of crop nutrients, bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides and spray
adjuvants will be done in a safe, environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner.
IC Potash intends to establish joint R&D partnerships with Canadian Licensed Cannabis Producers and cannabis
producers in the United States to test the organic fertilizer assets, products, and concepts being sourced and/or developed by IC
Potash. IC Potash has made a small equity investment in a Canadian Licenced Producer building medical cannabis operations in
Columbia focused on branding low-cost / high-quality pharmaceutical cannabis products. As IC Potash grows, it plans to build a
diversified portfolio in dispensary operations and commercial-scale cannabis cultivation, product formulation and
pharmaceutical-grade testing.
IC Potash’s growth strategy is to expand its business through market expansion and product diversification and
create competitive advantage by developing a comprehensive distribution chain and strong relationships with growers.
The Company will also make investments in various private and public companies from time to time and will
continue to expand its portfolio as opportunities arise that offer attractive returns. IC Potash will continue to seek out
synergistic sectors in which to expand its business through a formally developed investment strategy.
