VERNON, British Columbia, Jan. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- True Leaf Medicine International Ltd.
(“True Leaf”) (CSE:MJ) (FSE:TLA) (OTCQB:TRLFF), a quality of life cannabis company for people and their pets, has
completed the purchase of 40 acres of land that encompasses the site of its facility in Lumby, British Columbia, Canada, through
its wholly owned subsidiary True Leaf Medicine Inc.
The purchase was finalized on January 19, 2018 at a total cost of $3.3 million CAD.
True Leaf, as previously announced, closed a $10 million Regulation A+ offering and a concurrent $4 million non-brokered private
placement financing with Canadian investors only. True Leaf is the first Canadian-listed company to conduct a success Regulation A+
offering.
The company used a portion of the proceeds from the offerings to complete the purchase of the Lumby site. Additional offering
proceeds will be used to build and staff phase one of the True Leaf facility, as well as provide working capital for the True Leaf
Pet business.
True Leaf’s application to produce and distribute cannabis under Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes
Regulations (ACMPR) has completed the security clearance stage, and the company has permission to build its production facility. At
this time, True Leaf does not have a license to produce cannabis.
True Leaf expects phase one: the construction of a 16,000 square foot hydroponic grow building and a 9,000 square foot
building housing offices, extraction facility, and laboratory and packaging areas to be completed by the end of summer 2018, with a
first crop produced in the fall of 2018. True Leaf’s first crop will be required to pass a Health Canada inspection in order for
True Leaf to be granted a license to grow medicinal cannabis.
Commenting on this latest milestone, True Leaf CEO Darcy Bomford said, “The company is pleased with the completion of our
offerings and the purchase of the land and we can move forward in our pursuit of growing what we hope will be the best quality
medicinal cannabis in the world.”
True Leaf plans to become one of the main employers in Lumby, a logging community of 1,700 in the northeast corner of the
Okanagan Valley in southern British Columbia.

Forward-Looking Information:
This press release contains forward-looking statements. The use of any of the words “anticipate”, “continue”, “estimate”,
“expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “should”, “believe” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Although True Leaf believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because the Company can give no assurance that
they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they
involve inherent risks and uncertainties. These statements speak only as of the date of this press release. Actual results could
differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks discussed in True Leaf’s continuous
disclosure filings available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com. While the Company may elect to, it does not undertake to update this information
at any particular time.
Risks of Investment in True Leaf
An investment in True Leaf has a high degree of risk including the lack of a listed market for its securities in
the United States as well as other risks common to Regulation A+ investments such as a small equity market capitalization and
public float, which may impair the liquidity of this investment. Moreover Canadian investors are unable to sell securities placed
in the concurrent offering. The Company can make no assurances about the success of its products, or its licensing or marketing
efforts; consequently investors in True Leaf may lose some or all of their investments. True Leaf does not have a license to
produce cannabis. Cannabis, marijuana, and any products containing THC and CBD are illegal in the United States of America,
notwithstanding laws of several states to the contrary. Further, transportation of such products across state lines or across
national boundaries remains a Federal Offense in the United States of America, as well as the use of any federally chartered
financial institution for transmittal or deposit of funds related to the sale of such products. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that True Leaf will receive a license to produce cannabis from Health Canada, and even if it were to receive such a
license, there can be no assurance that it can import its products into the United States for market or sale, or to repatriate the
proceeds of such sales for the benefit of investors in this offering.
