PUF Ventures Eliminates Mortgage Debt & Concludes Plans for AAA Heidelberg Facility Completion

VANCOUVER, May 9, 2017 /CNW/ - PUF Ventures Inc. (the "Company" or "PUF") (CSE: PUF) (Frankfurt: PU3) (OTCPK: PUFXF) is pleased to announce that it has elected to undertake its option for early termination of the third party mortgage debt in relation to the real property associated with the AAA Heidelberg ACMPR applicant facility in London, Ontario.  The principal mortgage balance has now been paid in full thus resulting in the property being wholly owned by AAA Heidelberg. 

Further, PUF has now developed a final construction plan for completion of the AAA Heidelberg facility. The final elements of the build-out will commence in short order.  Since successfully completing and exiting the "Security Clearance" stage in late October of 2015, the Company has been steadily progressing through Stage 5, the "Review" stage.  With an adherence to the highest level of pharmaceutical standards, AAA Heidelberg has completed a significant retrofit of the wholly owned facility.

Final construction plans will focus on completion of the front-office space, personnel common rooms, and security upgrades of the perimeter fencing, vault and digital camera schematic. 

"We are excited to have paid down the mortgage and are ready to commence the final phase of facility upgrades on the AAA Heidelberg property," stated Derek Ivany, President and CEO of the Company.  "With Health Canada recently tabling their legislation for Marijuana legalization we want to be prepared for any 'fast-tracking' that may occur."  Mr. Ivany continued, "We are in the advantageous position of having a facility that is wholly owned and substantially built-out.  If and when we are granted a 'Pre-License Inspection' (Stage 6) we hope to be able to expedite our path to a final license by virtue of having a state of the art facility that is as close to complete as possible."
