Post# of 857
Discovery Minerals LTD. (OTC Pink: DSCR) (OTC SCR) Discovery is pleased to provide shareholders with additional detail on the anticipated yield from the AB AGRO hemp crop harvest planted on July 1, 2014 (update video and photos are available online at: http://tinyurl.com/dscrhempvid). The hemp has been planted on 160 acres of land in Alberta Canada. Average yield is 1 ton per acre for hemp stalk harvested. The Company is conservatively anticipating a yield of .375 tons of stalk/stem per acre, delivering 59 tons (118,000 pounds or 53,636 kilograms) of available material for processing into concentrated CBD oil. VPR's method for processing and extraction has the potential to reduce operational costs and increase efficiency of CBD oil extraction from industrial hemp, resulting in greater yields and concentrations. The processed hemp from the harvest is anticipated to yield up to 500 kilograms of CBD oil.
