Heritage Cannabis is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent to form a Joint Venture Partnership with Empower Clinics Inc.

Heritage Cannabis Holdings Corp. (CSE:CANN) (“Heritage” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to form a Joint Venture Partnership (“JV”) with Empower Clinics Inc. (CSE: CBDT) (“Empower”) based in Sandy, Oregon USA for the extraction of hemp for CBD oil production, and formulated CBD products.

Terms of the LOI will have Heritage and Empower each with a 50% ownership of the Joint Venture. Heritage, via its wholly owned subsidiary Purefarma Solutions Inc. (“Purefarma”), will install extraction units and related downstream extraction equipment inside Empower’s existing licenced hemp processing facility. In addition, Purefarma will train and supervise the staff on the proprietary methods of extraction and oil production that it produces in Canada. The JV will be equally funded by both companies with Heritage investing an initial $500,000 for start-up funds as the JV completes the build out and the secures high quality hemp supply from local growers.

Once operational, the JV will begin producing proprietary branded products for Empower’s corporately owned physician staffed health clinics in Washington State, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona. These clinics include Sun Valley Health (“Sun Valley”), a subsidiary of Empower, which has direct marketing access to over 165,000 patients and growing as Sun Valley expands its franchised network nationwide. The JV will utilize formulations from Heritage, as well as manufacture Sollievo branded products that Empower distributes throughout its clinic network.

“By moving forward with Heritage in this JV, it allows us to execute our growth strategy more quickly and efficiently. We will expand our clinics and CBD product offerings throughout the USA via our franchise model, as we aim to become a significant part of the cannabis wellness marketplace.” states Steven McAuley, Empower’s Chief Executive Officer.

The JV will also look to manufacture white label products for other distributors throughout the USA, and it is currently in talks with several potential customers to produce tinctures, topicals, gel caps and formulated bulk CBD oil.

“This is a big step for Heritage as we expand our unique capabilities south of the border into the USA. We are fortunate to be working with Empower as they bring distribution, and a licensed facility which will allow us to begin filling an order pipeline immediately.” says Clint Sharples, CEO of Heritage “Since our 30% acquisition of Endocanna Health in California, they have introduced us to many quality opportunities, including this one with Empower, and are targeting many more in the future.”
