Enertopia Signs Joint Venture Agreement for Medical Marihuana
Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / Enertopia Corporation (ENRT) on the OTCBB and (TOP) on the CSE (the "Company" or "Enertopia") is very pleased to announce that it has signed an acquisition and joint venture agreement dated February 28, 2014 (the "Agreement") with The Green Canvas Ltd. based in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada ("Green Canvas"). Green Canvas is currently in the process of applying to become a Licensed Producer pursuant to Canada's new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulation ("MMPR").
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Enertopia may acquire up to a 75% interest in the joint venture through the payment of an aggregate of CDN$1,000,0000 and the issuance of 19,000,0000 shares of its common stock,all over a period of three years. To date the Company has already paid $600,000 of the cash consideration under the Agreement and has issued 10,000,000 shares to Green Canvas in exchange for a 49% interest in the joint venture. A total of 6,400,000 of such shares are subject to escrow until Green Canvas is designated a Licensed Producer under the MMPR regime. In the event Green Canvas does not obtain the Licensed Producer designation within 12 months of the date of the Agreement, the Agreement will terminate and Green Canvas will be required to return a total of 6,400,000 shares previously issued to it.
Green Canvas will act as manager of the joint venture subject to Enertopia's option to become manager upon obtaining a 51% interest. The terms of the Agreement also require Enertopia to fund, for a period of three years subject to early termination of the Agreement, any shortfall in the payment of management fees to certain Green Canvas consultants in the amount of $15,000 per month, which fees are to be paid out of the gross profits of the joint venture.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is intended to serve as a summary and the full details of the Agreement can be found on our website at www.enertopia.com/s/marijuana.asp or www.sec.gov and www.sedar.com.
The Green Canvas facility is currently undergoing upgrades and a portion of the $500,000 paid on signing will be used to make the initial 6,000 square foot production foot print compliant with the high standards set by Health Canada under MMPR. It is envisioned that at full production capacity the useable production space could cover 55,000 square feet. It is currently expected that this envisioned build out will take place as new patients are signed up and from project cash flows.
"Enertopia is excited to be working directly with the Green Canvas team and looks forward to meeting the patients and doctors at today's presentation in Regina. Green Canvas provides high quality medical cannabis to MMJ patients to make their lives better", stated President /CEO Robert McAllister.
Looking forward, it is estimated that the legal Marijuana market in North America which is estimated at $1.5 billion dollars today, could surpass $10 billion dollars before this decade is out and eventually become larger than the wine industry which had retail sales of over $34 billion dollars in 2012 according to third party reports.
Robert McAllister, Enertopia Corporation., President & CEO said, "As I have announced before it is our intention to move Enertopia rapidly forward into what we are all witnessing today as the emergence of the next major growth industry of our times."
