ICC International Cannabis Corporation ("ICC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ICC) is pleased to announce that it has successfully transitioned its recreational cannabis production facility to a new 70,565 square foot state-of-the-art greenhouse located in Montevideo, Uruguay. The relocation is part of the Company's ramp-up in recreational cannabis production and a total of 5,000 plants and 3,500 cuttings have been moved to our new facility. The facility will allow the Company to produce up to 10 tonnes of recreational cannabis per year without additional capital investment.

"We are extremely pleased with the success of this transition to our new greenhouse. It marks an important operational milestone because it allows ICC to significantly increase production in order to meet the anticipated Uruguayan demand for recreational cannabis," commented Guillermo Delmonte, Chief Executive Officer.

The specifications of the new facility are set out below:

  • One area comprised of approximately 2,000 square feet for the mother plants
  • One vegetative area of 1,000 square feet
  • Two growing areas of 5,167 square feet each, totalling more than 10,000 square feet
  • Four 10,333 square foot flowering areas, totalling more than 41,000 square feet
  • A total of almost 55,000 square feet of production area, with the remaining area dedicated to trimming, drying, packing and stocking

The Company expects to produce approximately 2 tonnes of recreational cannabis in 2017. As soon as distribution and sales commence, ICC expects its recreational segment to be break-even on a cash-flow basis.
