VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (TSX.V – XLY) (“Auxly” or the “Company“) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Robinsons Cannabis Inc. (“Robinsons”), has been granted standard cultivation and processing licences by Health Canada pursuant to the Cannabis Act and Cannabis Regulations. The licences give Robinsons the ability to begin cultivation at its fully constructed 27,700 square-foot facility in Kentville, Nova Scotia, which was purpose-built to produce high-quality cannabis.

Led by experienced head grower Andrew Robinson, Robinsons is uniquely positioned to capture the attention of luxury cannabis consumers, with operations built on a devotion to uncompromising quality and a premium cannabis experience. Robinsons products have consistently ranked the highest in terms of cannabinoid content, terpene content and overall quality when independently tested against 5,000 products supplied by various growers licenced in accordance with Canadian cannabis regulations. 

“We are thrilled to have achieved this major milestone,” says Andrew Robinson. “Our goal is to produce the best cannabis we can, for cannabis connoisseurs like ourselves. The licences will allow us to start production and take steps toward delivering a consistent final product focused on taste, smell, and potency.”

Hugo Alves, President of Auxly said: “This is a big milestone for one of our key subsidiaries and member of the Auxly family. We know that Andrew and his team are going to produce some of the best cannabis flower available in Canada and we can’t wait to share it with Canadian consumers. Robinsons is all about an unwavering commitment to quality. We hope to show cannabis connoisseurs, who to date have been generally disappointed with the flower offerings in the market, that passionate artisans operating in the regulated industry can produce an incredible product that reflects their pride and craftsmanship.”

Auxly expects that Robinsons’ premier products will be available for sale in the fourth quarter of this year, subject to receipt of sales authorization from Health Canada. With a focus on quality, Robinsons plans to release a limited amount of product to the market of approximately 1,100kg per year.
