TORONTO, June 28, 2018 /CNW/ - 48North Cannabis Corp. ("48North" or the "Company") (TSXV:NRTH) announces that following Health Canada's decision to allow licensed cannabis producers to grow cannabis outdoors, the Company is actively investigating the cultivation of sun grown cannabis on its 800-acres in Kirkland Lake, ON facility.

"48North applauds the federal government's decision to allow for commercial outdoor cultivation," said Alison Gordon, Chief Executive Officer at 48North. "Our wholly-owned cultivation facility includes 800-acres of land formerly used as a tree nursery and is well-suited for outdoor production of cannabis. Outdoor cultivation is a more environmentally sustainable way to cultivate cannabis that requires less electricity and has a reduced carbon footprint. By growing cannabis outdoors, we expect that we will be able to significantly reduce our cost of production by eliminating costs associated with indoor commercial growing."

Ms. Gordon continued, "We will continue to grow high-grade cannabis at our state-of-the-art indoor growing facility and plan to use outdoor crops as a lower-cost source of cannabis for our women's health and wellness products."

48North expects to begin the licensing process for sun grown cannabis once the new regulations come into effect.
