48North Cannabis Corp. Licenses Colorado's Mother & Clone's Proprietary Cannabis Rapid-Absorption Sublingual Nanospray

TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2018 /CNW/ - 48North Cannabis Corp. ("48North" or the "Company") (TSXV:NRTH), a leading licensed cannabis producer focused on the women's health and wellness market, today announced a licensing agreement with Mother & Clone, Inc. ("Mother & Clone"), a Colorado-based company producing proprietary cannabis sublingual nanosprays (a form of measured microdosing). This agreement follows the Company's announcement that it received a supplemental license from Health Canada for the extraction and production of cannabis oil. Canadian production and sale of Mother & Clone products are expected to commence after the Company receives its Health Canada license amendment permitting the sale of cannabis oil.

"It is fitting that our first official partnership and portfolio addition is with Mother & Clone, a woman-led and focused cannabis company with a unique product offering," said Alison Gordon, Chief Executive Officer at 48North. "This deal includes product distribution, brand familiarity and intellectual property ownership over all Mother & Clone products and will give us a competitive lead in bringing next generation wellness products to the Canadian and international markets."

"Partnering with 48North aligns with Mother & Clone's brand positioning, corporate values and shared focus on women's lifestyle and wellness through cannabis in the adult recreational space," said Leslie Siu, Chief Executive Office of Mother & Clone. "We are a company with a long-view, global strategy and together with the 48North team we will be creating an indelible stamp on the Canadian cannabis industry."  

Under the terms of the licensing agreement signed September 4, 2018, 48North will license Mother & Clone's intellectual property and manufacturing techniques for domestic consumption in Canada, and for global export from Canada. 48North will be the exclusive Canadian licensed producer of all present and future Mother & Clone products. Mother & Clone will earn a licensing fee of ten per cent gross profit on all Canadian and international sales. This agreement will combine existing research and development of this proprietary, strain-specific nano-particle delivery system, and will be produced from the unique cultivars being grown at 48North's DelShen facility.

These products will be produced and marketed in accordance with applicable Canadian laws and regulations for the adult recreational cannabis market.
