TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. ("Supreme Cannabis" or the "Company") (FIRE.V) (SPRWF) (53S1.F) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, 7ACRES, has obtained Health Canada approval to begin cultivating approximately 30,000 sqft of additional flowering rooms at its facility in Kincardine, Ontario.
This raises the total flowering room space from 90,000 sqft to 120,000 sqft and 7ACRES' annual production capacity estimate increases from approximately 13,300kg to 17,500kg. With further production efficiencies and the completion and licensing of all 25 flowering rooms, the potential capacity of the 7ACRES facility is anticipated to reach approximately 50,000kg per year.
Concurrent with flowering room approvals, 7ACRES also received licensing approval for production space designated for plant micropropagation. Supreme Cannabis is commencing cannabis micropropagation services at the 7ACRES facility to bring additional agricultural sciences to 7ACRES' high-quality cannabis production.
"Scaling our 7ACRES facility is a top priority and today's announcement is another significant step forward towards completing that goal," said John Fowler, President and Founder of Supreme Cannabis. "7ACRES-branded dried flower has received enthusiastic reviews from consumers across Canada. With this additional production capacity, we'll be able to better satisfy the demand from cannabis enthusiasts coast-to-coast."
The 7ACRES facility remains on-track for total construction completion of all flowering rooms by the end of March 2019. Supreme Cannabis anticipates that additional flowering rooms will be approved by Health Canada in the near term.
