PHOENIX, AZ--(NewMediaWire - Sep 7, 2017) - Corix Bioscience
Inc. (OTCQB: CXBS) formally announces that it is acquiring 3
California cannabis licenses from California-based brand, E&B
Investments LLC, for $2,000,000, consisting of $250,000 cash and
the balance in restricted common stock. A deposit was given on
August 29, 2017 with the closing date scheduled for September 8,
2017.
The licenses consist of: (1) Type 3A (large indoor cultivation),
(1) Type 6/7 (manufacturing products using volatile and
non-volatile solvents), and (1) Type 11 (distribution). All
licenses are addressed to an existing 20,000 square foot
cultivation facility and 1,500 square foot office in Adelanto,
California. Corix will assume the 8-year lease and is in
discussions to acquire the building and land. Further
build-out on the building is anticipated to start immediately and
Corix anticipates growing to begin by the end of September of
2017.
Michael Ogburn, CEO of Corix Bioscience, states, "We are very
excited to finally secure these California licenses. We have spent
over a year searching for this exact scenario. Having cultivation,
processing and distribution all at one location is unheard of. This
will allow us to really ramp up production of our medical
cultivation and now install our extraction laboratory much sooner
than we anticipated. At current market prices, this will bring an
anticipated $30 million in additional revenue. Add in the
distribution, and revenue could top $50 million per year."
Emily Del, General Partner at Brand E&B Investments LLC,
went on to state, "We knew we wanted to be part of Corix's team
once we saw their vision and how fast they put it together. Their
knowledge of tissue culture and attention to detail in the area of
'yields' really excited us."
Corix is very focused on the medical side of cannabis and CBD
oil growing and manufacturing, but will now have these key
distribution licenses to be able to sell other growers' products to
dispensaries. This will be a huge advantage for Corix once
"Recreational Marijuana" laws come into play under the Marijuana
Legalization Initiative Statute under California Proposition 64 in
January 2018. Ogburn went on to say, "We are going to start
building our sales team immediately to take advantage of the new
laws that will be coming into play that really favor us. And once
our new facility comes on line, we anticipate having an advantage
to sell our products at a premium price because we will know the
market well."
